TOO MUCH RAIN.

At present. according to reports from
stockmen, cattle in large numbers are
being gathered up from the RANGES Of
Montana and northern Wyoming for
shipment to eastern markets. This is
particularly true in Wyoming, where it
is expected a comparatively small num-
ber of these animals will be wintered.
One large concern has just sent a ship
ment of so cars to Chicago and is round
ig up sufficient cattle to fill nearly
100 additional cars. 1t is reported that
grass was plentiful in the Tongue and
Powder river countries during the last
few months. and that the cattle are in
excellent condition. It is understood,
however, that although the summer
range was much> better than for the last
three years, the Grass is not sufficient
to provide for the immense number Of
animals during the winter. and as only
a few stockmen have provided feed. 9
large number of cattle will be sent to
market rather than take the risk Of car.
rying them through the winter.

An infectious disease known as hem
orrhagic septicamea has appeared
among the buffalo in the Yellowstone
National park. and government inspect
ors are busy vaccinatine the ESQ head
of these animals, also 22 buffalo calves
which are at the park. The mortality
of this disease among domestic cattle
has been placed at go per cent but
among the buffalo it has proven 100 per
cent, not a single one attacked escaping
death. 1t is Of short duration generally
taking the animal away in "a hours
after it develops. The disease originally
came from Egypt and Germany. Two
vaccinations are necessary, the second
being administered eight days after
the first and great effort is being made
to ward off any further fatalities.

Senator A. L. Martin of Sentinel
Butte finished threshing his grain crop
of 70, 600 bush hels on Monday and came
to Dickinson in the evening. He owns
his own machine and had his own crew
and has been threshing when the wealth
er was suitable since the 18th of Sep
tember. Mr.. Martin had 225 acres of
flax that was caught in the snow storm
on October 28th and il was some time
before he was able to stack it. He says
that the wet weather and snow injured
the grade of wheat to some extent. He
had 16. 1T bushels of wheat, the bal
ance Gf his Drain being oats and fax.
The average yield for wheat was about
"a bushels per acre, one field yielding
as high as rs bushels. This extensive
Billings county farmer does not look for
much advance in the price Of grain.
There is an enormous crop in the world
and present conditions do not seem to
warrant any material advance. About
three weeks ago Mr.. Martin marketed
nearly a trainload Of cattle, the average
price for cows and steers being $3.50
per head. 1t is Mr.. Martins intention
10 take 200 head of cattle to his wheat
farm for the winter. He contends the
farmers must keep more live stock on
their farms, foF he says exclusive drain
growing is not the proper thing for the
land.

The Commercial Club of Dickinson
has recently printed thousand 16-page
booklets for distribution to friends in
the east and middle states.
Secretary Orchard is having type
written letter prepared, that can be
signed by anyone desiring to mail

busy man lots of time.
These booklets when sent to five hum
dred or a thousand eastern people, will
put them in touch with our fertile land
and should bring hundreds of new set
tiers to this county.

will supply you free with as many let
tiers as you can mail. together with
booklets to 60 with the letters.

ity for citizens to boost the city of Dick

CACTUS FOR CATTLE.

Washington Post: The granting by
congress of several thousand acres of
Arizona desert land to Luther Burbank
on which to propagate his comparative
ly new discovery of the spineless cactus
will ultimately solve the question of
beef production in this country. said
Frank Bacon, fruit grower of San Jose,
CAL, at the Raleigh. with the rapid
ly decreasing RANGES in the western
states. the production of beef cattle as
is we'll known. is falling off to an
alarming degree. and Secretary Wilson
himself has declared that the day Of
low priced beef has passed. 1t has
been demonstrated that the cactus plant
is more nutritious for cattle than alfal-
ia. Cattle Of course cannot eat cacti
that have thorns. or spines, and when,
after years Of experimentation, Mr..
Burbank announced that be had been
successful in propagatins spine]ess
variety Of cactus. he gave to the world
a solution Of the beef problem. The
cactus plant is not only food for cattle.
but water also. In California there are
hundreds Of acres Of arid land that are
now being sown with cactus. These
acres will provide q nursery for further
propagation. and eventually vast
stretches Of desert land will be planted.
with the result that many thousands
Of beef cattle will feed upon them.

GET alfalfa SEED
Write TO WASHINGTON

Bismarck Tribune: At the last ses-
sion of Congress law was enacted pro-
viding for security and distributing
seeds for dry land farming by the Aeri-
cultural department of the United
States. In accordance with this law the
agricultural department has secured al
falfa and millet seed suitable for dry
land farming. The seed is put up in
packages sufficient to plant an acre
or little more and is to be distributed
through the senators and members of
congress. The seed is of selected strains
of very high quality with respect to
purity and viability. and it is thought
by the agricultural department that the
western part of North Dakota would
properly be included in the area to
which the seed is adaptable. Senator
McCumber has limited quantity of
this seed for distribution and advise
that he will be glad to send package
to any farmer in this vicinity who cares
to apply for it. The seed will be sent
out through the agricultural department
with full instructions as to culture. and
the department will also enter into cor
respondence with those receiving it to
ascertain the results secured from it.
If any of our readers care to experim Mt
with the seed they can procure it by
writing Senator McCumber at Washing
ton. M.

NEWSPAPER F0RENlAN's Wife
COMMITS SUICIDE At MOTT

Mott has q sensation in the death OF
Mrs. Clara Zitse, who was found dead
on Sunday wi tn towel saturated with
chlorotorm around her head.
Mr.. and Mrs. Zitse worked on the
Mott Pioneer. They had violent quar-
rel last Saturday night. The man hitch
ed up team al the livery stable and
drove to Burt, where he played for q
dance. 1t is said that the woman went
to the stable and asked to 60 with him,
which request was denied her. When
Zitse returned Sunday morning he went
to hotel. During the day the four
year-old child, by former husband,
went to the mothers room with another
child and found the lifeless body. The
alarm was spread at once.
It seems that the child had been
away all night. The mother had been
dead 10 to 20 hours when found. The
stomach was sent to Prof. Ladd at
Fargo.
Very little is known OF the family
who came to Mott year or so ago. The
husband and wife quarreled great
deal and it is thought that the woman
became respondent Saturday night and
took her own life. The husband was
unable to definitely locate any of his
deceased wife's relatives. Funeral
services were held Tuesday. An inquest
was held behind closed doors and il
is announced that no further action vii
be taken until Prof. Ladd reports hi
finding. The man has returned to hi
work on the Pioneer.
1t is said that sentiment in Mott il
about equally divided.

CITY BOARD OF HEALTH
TELL PEOPLE WHAT TO DO

The following written by DR.. H. A.
Davis. city health officer. is published
by direction of the city board of health.
On account of carelessness in vac
cination. we state advisedly that less
than half our population is protected
from small pox by proper or recent vac
cination.
An inspection of our schools show
only fifty per cent of the children are
vaccinated:
Consequently every other person in
this city will contract the disease il
exposed.
The mild form of the cases we are
having, makes it impossible to recoe-
nize the disease until the eruption takes
place. and many exposures have result
ed.
We can get rid Of small pox by vac
cination. and by that means only.
In pre-vaccinaton days, England lost
3. 600 lives per million inhabitants
annually from small pox.
In 1890 there were fifteen deaths
from this disease in all England.
An analysis of $4,000 deaths from
small pox with reference to their vac
cination) showed that the mortality
was as follows:
Unvaccinated deaths, per cent. IS
Vaccinated once. deaths. .73
Vaccinated twice. e................4.7e a. 7e
Vaccinated three times. Il. 9s
Vaccinated four or more times. SIS
The first four families quarantined in
Dickinson this fall had twenty-one in.
mates who were exposed daily for per-
iods of one to four weeks. Of these
thirteen had been vaccinated some
time. eight were unvaccinated.
The eight unvaccinated ALL had
small pox.
The thirteen vaccinated ALL escaped.
There is no real basis for fear of vac
cination with the use of pure bovine
lymph such as is now universally used.
The poisoned arm so frequently re-
ferred to and so much dreaded is due t
infection with germs other than tho 81
which produce the cow-pox- -pustule.
Let us have more vaccination and
less small pox.
adv. City Board of Health.
