COW COUNTRY NOW
A FERTILE FIELD
cKenzie County Soil Has
Been Found to be De-
cidedly Productive.

Shafer, n. D., Oct. 2S.-When the
writer first quit the herd in the east
and strayed into Mckenzie county it
was not considered very remarkable
to find a gentle old COW running about
with ten or fifteen calves nor an old
work mare with three or four colts
and as many yearlings following her.
If some person, however, had insisted
upon telling us at that time that one
could grow oats here that would yield
100 bushels per acre: that the big,
old white bird would only flop his
wings over u house and make every
other home in the county a respectful
visit annually, and hat cabbage heads
would grow in punches on one stock,
we would nave suspected that person
was trying to talk US Of our string
of saddle horses.
During the last several years we
found that Mckenzie county soil will
produce more small grain to the acre
any soil in the world and that
the old white bird has been working
overtime. Not until the other day,
however. did We discover that the
soil would grow cabbages In clusters.
FOR the last week or there has
been on exhibition at the Cherry
View hotel a cluster Of cabbage, con-
of five well-developed heads.
The cluster was pulled from the Hill
garden. The heads were all
growing on the am stock.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Of Weeks MARKET
Money Market Influenced by
Balkan Crisis-American
Securities Home for Sale.

New York. Oct. 2s.-The forces
which depressed prices of securities
recently have been operative for some
time, but became more active last
week. The narrowing resources of
the money market impinged upon
credits employed in holding stocks
and compelled their REIMBURSEMENT.
Primarily. our own domestic money
requirements supply the pull on mon
ey supplies. The Balkan crisis, when
1t first threatened, frightened the purse
strings of foreign money markets and
cut off the expected relief through
gold imports. The outbreak of war
threw a positive burden on the New
can securities sent, home o sale. The
burden was aggravated last week
when large consignments of. the act
ual securities shipped from abroad
began to arrive home, bringing the
necessity for meeting for payments.
Meantime, demand continued for
cash and credits from the domestic
interior.
Apparently interior banks found
themselves also subject to further
demands, which put a stop to their
taking over loans from New York
banks, as was done earlier in the sea-
son. In fact some Of these previously
placed interior bank loans were with
waiting the pressure. The customary
period Of the turn in the tide of the
currency movement Is some weeks
away yet. so that banks continue to
prepare for further demand.
There is some apprehension also,
that grain may begin to accumulate.
This 1t has not done yet, in spite of
the p%rodigious rail movement. The
principal corn and cotton movements,
also, r yet to come. On the other
hand, the rapid movement Of grain
to market is said to have resulted
in some repayment Of bank loans in
the western states. The liquidation al
ready effected on foreign stock mar
kets also have brought signs Of re-
lief.
Banking and money conditions are
held almost wholly responsible for the
sharp fall in the securities markets.
The mere act Of the fall. however,
brings into some question the outlook
in other directions.
The copper market Is an example,
where buying Is in lessened volume,
prices have yielded. Realizing sales
in copper securities have been. there
fore especially in copper securities
have been heavy buyers of steel rails
and cars. but there is a lull in de-
mand for steel otherwise. Manufac-
turers profess relief to have a tighten
ing Of the rush demand upon them.
But there arises, as usual the suspic-
ion that the rush Of buying orders
has been pushed beyond actual re-
quirements in the fear Of failing to
secure deliveries. Such a condition
leaves the probability Of reaction to
follow.

WOMAN
SECURED COAT
Wore Furs Across Border to
Accommodate New Ac-
quaintance to Avoid Duty

Minneapolis. Oct. as.-Secret serv-
ice men OF the Canadian government
are said to be on the trail on a man.
whose name is withheld. on a charge
Of having struggled a $500 seal skin
coat across the border from the twin
cities. but who finally saw his woman
accomplice walk away with the valu-
able garment. The woman is also be-
ing sought by government detectives.
According to the story told by a
secret service man. the coa was nur-
chased in the twin cities and was in
tended by the alleged smuggler as q
present for his wife. On his way to
Winnipeg, 1t is alleged. the good-na-
tured husband met a wonnan on the
train. and their acquaintance ripened
until he felt bold enouh to ask her
to wear the coat until they got to
Winnipeg. so as to eade the customs
officials.
The woman. 1t is said. obligingly
agreed to do so. but when the border
had been successfully crossed. and
the owner of the caot felt that there
no further danger Of being
obliged to pay the thirty per cent
duty. the woman. 1t is stated, refused
to part with the garment, and threat
ened to report the smuggling to the
officials If he made any fuss. Rather
run the risk Of fine and impris-
onment, the owner had to stand still
and see his friend" walk away with
the $500 coat.

HORRIBLY BURNED
IN PRAIRIE FIRE
Victim Delirious, Pulled the
Flesh from His Body with
His Burned Clothing.

Bismarck. n. D., Oct. ?s.-John
Kirch OF Dawson was brought to Bis
marck suffering untold agonies. kirch
was nearly burned to death in a
prairie fire near Dawson. His back.
hands. arms and legs were terribly
scorched and blistered, and as he lies
on his bed of pain he has only a
fighting chance for recovery.
Kirch was one Of a party that was
combating a prairie fire near Daw-
son and in some manner became
separated from the rest of the fire
fighters. In some way his clothing
caught fire and he was unable to put
the blaze out. His companions did
not miss him for about an hour. when
they went back and instituted a
search for him. When found he was
about a mile from the place where
his clothing caught fire.
kirch. when discovered. was sitting
on the ground attempting TO pull his
burned n tattered clothing from his
body. He was almost crazy with tor
turingp ain and was in a delerious
condition. Pieces Of his burned and
charred flesh adhered to the clothing
and was pulled from his body as he
pulled his clothes off. He was in 4
critical condition when picked up and
rushed to Bismarck.
At the present time everything pos.
sihle has been done to alleviate his
awful suffer!ngs. He has a very slim
chance to retain his grasp on life.

MORE HAY AVAILABLE.

Hay Trade Journal-One must not
lose sight of the fact that there is
something under a quarter of a mil
lion 0 n more hay available this year
than last. and although it is dificult
for the producer to believe It, It is not
up to the hay. shipper to extend his
sympathy to the extent Of his good
dollars. The country is prosperous and
in consequence there is a ear shortage
of no mean dimensions: harvests were
late and farm labor is hard to get.
There is NJ time to press hay and no
help available at present. but in a few
weeks the rush viii be over and then
hay will begin to move more freely.
The crop in the United States is plac-
ed at 7~2,425.000 tons. the largest ever
harvested: Canada has a full crop:
enough hay. all told. to supply the
farms and markets for another year
with a good wide lap into next season.
Under these circumstances 1t would
appear that enthusiasm in buying is
misplaced: better to devote our ener-
giles to getting that high priced hay
on the present margets so as not to
have too much of 1t on hand when
winter sets in.

BIG SUCCESS WITH
BAND Of SHEEP
Wells County Farmer Dem
onstrates Small Flock May
Increase farm Profits.

Harvey. n. D.. Oct. 2s.-The gener
al admonition to raise sheep, repeated
often in man, agricultural journals,
has. as a rule. been largely disregard
ed by North Dakota farmers.
With "A view of showing what may

Mr.. Michael Baier. ST.. who lives IA
miles south of Harvey. has found
his farming operations for the past 10
years. In the spring of 1912 he had 28
ewes, and from them he raised ~
lambs. There is no way of estimating
accurately the cost of the keeping of
these sheep, as the most of the feed
consumed by them was such that 9TH

lambs figured at the farmers price. a

ter j. McCumber while on his way

The sentiment seems to be swing

continued. AT first the change SEEM

weeks the voters appear to be rapidly
President Taft has made most notice
able gains.
II have found that really only the
main object to the president among
the North Dakota voters has been
based on his reciprocity treaty. Ca
madam reciprocity, while an objec-
tional feature to the people of this
state. was on the whole something the
majority Of the people Of the country
wanted. The president thought he
was acting in the interests of the ma
jority of the people of the United
States, SO that his error, if error 1t
really was, was one of judgment rath-
er than one Of heart.
n now the president a repudl-
ated reciprocity and is standing for
Reelection on a platform that ex-
presses itself definitely against reci-
procity. Many of the people do not
realize hat and are looking to Wilson
or Roosevelt to help give vent to their
feelings which were aggrieved. Few
Of them appreciate that Wilson stands
on a platform that o only endorses
Canadian reciprocity, but in free trade
with the whole world in food stuffs.

Senator McCumber will speak in

Night in the Hills.

Medora. n. D.. Oct. 2s.-Miss Jessie
Springley of Spokane, Wash, and her
companion, Miss Elsie Jahns of Port

nearly killed in the bad lands south
of here. their car overturning and be-
ing destroyed by fire. while they were
compelled to resort to horses to reach
this place. They spent a night in the
hills, too. before reaching a farm
home.
Both girls jumped from the car
when it almost reached the bottom of
a hill which they We're climbing, and
on which Miss %Springley had acct
dentally killed the engine. In her ex-
element she failed to put on the
brakes. and the machine started back
wards.
Calling to her companion to jump,
Miss Springley leaped to the road, and
Miss Jahns followed her. A moment
later h car, reaching the bottom Of
the hill. was turned completely over,
n took fire from the lamps, the gas
oline tank exploding.
The accident occurred at about 10
o'clock, and they were compelled to
spend the night in the hills. Both
