to effect. ,
Threshing in Bottineau county is
rapidly nearing completion. The
weather has been ideal and the small
amount of straw makes the process
rather a short one. On the prairie

weeks ago falling considerable short.
In the mountains, however, the yield is
fine, 10 to 20 bushels Of wheat being
a common thing, some fields going as
high as % bushels .
