Mr.. and Mrs. Glen Gardner of Sen
tlnel Butte, who had been spending
some days in the visiting at the L. A.
Davis home, expect to return west
the last of the week. They are living
with Mr.. Gardner's parents south Of
Sentinel Butte, about 2 miles, until
spring, when they will move to their
homestead IL miles north of town.
Mr.. and Mrs. John F. Davis re-
turned from Hunters Hot Spring the
first of the week. MI. Davis had in
tended to remain until March but his
work at the Walton & Davis Co. Of
flee is quite heavy this spring and he
felt that he must be back.
You farmers working 80 acres or
more have felt that a new mechanical
power should be invented that will
actually take the place of horses in
the field and other farm work and
cost less money. We are now able to
conscientiously offer the Bull Tractor
which will satisfy you and meet this
long felt need. Leutz & Mcclure.

P. H. Rumble hardly thought the
first of the week that he would need
to go to his ranch at Midway until
the first of March. It is likely that
the roads will be in such shape that
he can run his auto over the road by
another week. There is a foot of
snow in the territory southwest of
Dickinson which makes travel a little
difficult. In most places the grazing
is good for cattle and if the snow
does not crust there will be no I'm
easineSs among stockmen.
F. L. Roquette returned Sunday
from a two weeks purchase trip in
Chicago and New York, where he Sc
cured the spring stock for the dry
goods and the ready-to-wear depart
ments of the Roquette & Co.'s store.
All the latest styles will be found at
this business place, Mr.. Roquette
having selected the best in every
thing. Llewellyn Joined his father in
Chicago and entered the Rooster
School of card writing, window trim
ming and advertising. The course is
very complete, requiring some six
months, so that Llewellyn will not be
home again until the late summer.
w. H. Hanson of Ranger, the post
office on the National Forest Re-
serve, is in Dickinson this week with
four of his English Shire horses
which he is offering for sale. The
animals are the very best stock that
a be found any where, as everybody
who has looked over the horses at the
Pelissier barn behind the laundry, ad-
nit. Mr.. Hanson is a thorough
horseman. He is likely to remain in
Dickinson for a week or two yet and
can be found at the G. w. Sargent
home, old friends of his in Iowa, be-
fore the families moved to North Da-
kota.
VIM. Kruger came up from Hebron
Monday evening, returning home
Tuesday. Mr.. Kruger came up for
the purpose of paying his taxes and
to transact other matters of business.
Mr.. Krueger's son, Carl, is taking
care of the farm for his father, which
is located about eleven miles from
Hebron. Last year the Kruegers
raised about 1900 bushels Of wheat
and have about 600 bushels yet to
market. Mr.. Kruger will put in 400
acres this year. On February 18th
Carl Kruger and Miss Mary Toilet
son of Hebron were married and are
living on the farm. Mrs. Kruger is
a niece of Mrs. Ella Fox of this city.
Geo. Luhman was in Tuesday from
his farm southeast of the city with a
fine beef which he delivered to the
Parker & Sons market. Mr.. Luh-
man raised. some fine corn and al
falfa last fall and is now receiving
the profits. Last fall Mr.. Luhman
had some poor COWS and steers which
he could not ship and decided to put
them in the feed lots. A short time
ago he delivered one beef which
dressed over 700 pounds. This time
he brought in the beef of a common
Hereford cow which dressed close to
700. This is the result of having fed
alfalfa and a little corn for a few
months. He feeds the alfalfa twice
a day, morning and night, with a
little corr at noon. The beef is GER
tainly fine and has been the admira-
ton of all who have seen it in the
cooler. The Parkers have a fine herd
at their feeding yards east of the
city which they are feeding on a a
ton of hay and ground corn. These
they are trying to hold in reserve for
their spring trade, using the best
corr fed stuff they can secure from
the farmers for their present trade.
