A Silo Man Here

C. H. Shaver, an experienced
silo man and inventor and pat
entee of the Shaver silo, arrived
in the city Wednesday evening
from Bellingham, Wash. Mr..
Shaver has a silo that, in point
of mechanical construction, ease
of setting up and as a practical
silo, can't he beat anywhere.
Such, at least, is the verdict OF
local citizens who have looked at
the miniature model which he
has with him. Mr.. Shaver was
formerly a neighbor of DIR. H. j.
Smith, the dentist, when the lat
ter lived in Bellingham and it
was at the Doctors special re-
quest that Mr.. Shaver was in
duced to come here to introduce
his silo. No doubt Mr.. Shaver
will be successful in placing
quite a number of his silos ir
this locality. We understand
several orders have been booked
already. Let the good work g
on. for no doubt the silo is almos
indispensable to modern and pro
gressive farming.

"White Spring Ranch"

John Lorang, whom you all
know has recently placed above
the gate at his ranch a large sign
bearing the name white Spring
Ranch" which is a thing that at
tracts the attention of passers-
by. Mr.. Lorang was recently
asked why he named his place
white Spring Ranch" and in
reply stated that the name was
not new, it having been known
to travellers by that name more
than 80 years ago on account OF
large spring near the road,
which place was in early times
used as a camping ground on &C,
count of the pure water obtain
able.
The Lorang ranch is one of the
best appointed in this section Of
the country and is one of which
the owner may we'll be proud.
There are many fine rancf
homes in the Genesee country
some of which have been named
but more have not. There is NJ
better advertisement for tn
rancher than to have a sign owe
his gate announcing the name o
his ranch. 1t is just as much o
a KEY to lacation as are number
on the houses in the city. Gene

Grain Fields Look Fine

Grain crops out on the prairie
are looking great-b t t e r
than they have in years, if such
a thing is possible in a country
where they always look fine.
Fall wheat and barley is begin
ming to head out and some crops
will be ready for the binder
in the course of a few weeks.
Many fields of fall wheat can be
seen where the grain stands
higher than the fence posts and
the heads are hardly showing
above the leaves. Spring sown
grain is also looking fine and
promises a fine yield. While
there is considerable mustard
showing in some fields it is most
ly limited to the tracts of Indian
land under lease to white rent
ers, the private owned land be-
ing kept remarkably clean from
all noxious plants. The mustard
is becoming real menace, how
ever, to the farmers of the prair-
lie, especially to those located
near the tracts of Indian land,
and some decided steps must be
taken before long to successfully
combat the spread of this plant
or it will take large sections OF
the best farm land in the county
