The Litchville Bulletin has this sug-
gestion to farmers which might be
applicable to other communities in
North Dakota: Mr.. Farmer, why not
sell some of that fat stock to your
home butcher? He needs cattle right
along and can't take time to come
around to see you every time he wants
them. AS a rule he pays you half a
cent more a pound for good fat cat
tie than the cattle buyers. He saves
this in freight. Why not have that
half cent to go into your pocket?
Think 1t over, Mr.. Farmer.

occurred at John M~anternach's farm
near Scoby, Mont, the latter part of

his farm M flooding a large part Of
his crop. A dam lower down the
stream held the water back and ninety
acres of wheat was completely washed
out. The sod on a field of breaking
was also carried away by the current.
Several pigs and chickens lost their
lives in the deluge. At the same time
lightning struck the house, doing con-
siderable damage to the building, but
fortunately none of the occupants
We're injured. So far as has been
learned no others of the Velva colony
suffered from the storm.
