There are two standard rules of COM
putting the number Of tons of hay in a
stack as follows : The new Mexico rule IL /,
Multiply the width in feet by the over !:
divide this product by 4. then multiply
this dividend by the length. This gives
the contents In cubic feet. The Idaho
rule is: Subtract the width from the
over divide by 2, multiply this dividend
by the width, multiply this product by
the length. This gives the contents In
cubic feet. 343 cubic feet is equal to
a ton for 7 feet. Over means over the
stack from ground to ground.
Bird & Stone recently shipped a car
of horses to the Miles City horse sale,
and sold them. The horses brought
over 500 per head and Bird & Stone
are we'll satisfied with the sale. How
ever, there were some bargains there so
Bird & Stone and L. F. Crawford, who
was also at the sale, formed a partner
ship and purchased 12i horses and s
mules, which they shipped here and
took out to the ranch the first of the
week. In this bunch they have 100
good yearlings and two-year-olds while
the balance are mares and colts.-Re-

Chambers was the cause of. q young
mans death at Glyndon, this state. last
week. Frank Kolawski lived only two
weeks after becoming infected with the
disease. which is rather unusual among
humans. Chambers is very contagious
and a person contracting the disease
lives only a few weeks. 1t would
hardly e that any farmer would
want to take chances with horses that
Ishowed any signs Of the disease. It's
too dangerous. If you have any sus-
picious animal. call a veterinarian and
make r before some member Of the
family becomes infected.
a.. Hoyland OF Daelum5has no fault
to find with.the a his crops yielded
this year. He raised 1900 bushel of
wheat on 1875 acres, 700 bushels of oats
on II acres, 800 bushels of fax on 36
acres and has a small field of barley
that gave him $50 bushels. This does
not compare with last years phenome-
nal crop but it shows that MIR. Hovland
has been we'll paid for his seasons
work. Some of his wheat went better
than 20 bushels to the acre. Mr.. How
land says that several of his neiehbors
have better threshing reports than his to
make this fall.-New England Herald.

few years. He has a registered Bel
