George Mischief. a thrifty farmer from
II miles north of Dickinson. was in the
city on Monday. His wheat averaged 3
bushels to the acre. A piece of ummer
fallow. yielded IS bushels. Next year
Mr.. Mischief will have 100 acres of sum-
mer faIlowed land for wheat and he has
reason to expect a good crop, as he has
taken special care to conserve all the
moisture this fall, following his back
setting up with the harrow. Last fall
he plowed when it was dry and from
this land he got practically no crop.
MI. Mischief built a large barn this sea-
son and has a good place for his stock.
He has just sold three head of beef cat
tie to local butchers and will have a
few more to market during the winter
when prices are a little higher.
Marmarth Mail The Seaman family,
father and sons. fifteen miles up Little
Beaver, are the inventors of an irri9at
ion wheel that is pronounced a success.
The model throws a fine stream of water
and the large size is sure to soak things
we'll. J. A. Wetherell is to install one
at a cost of four hundred dollars, ex-
pected to throw a twelve inch stream of
water, raising it to the necessary height
A four horse gas engine will .furnihs
the power. Their idea is to saturate
the fields with water this fall and
again as needed in the spring, while
the creek will furnish plenty of water.
If irrigation can be carried on at q
nominal expense by mean of this new
invention it will no doubt result in
many acres on the Little Missouri
and the Beaver valley being irrigated
in the near future.

pounds. M. Booky, the cattle buyer

ers the animal as good as the Iowa corn
