shelter last night. Fires signaliz-
ed the approach of the storm cen
ter this morning. Within an hour
the, wind was blowing with hurri-
capea force and the harbor was
tempestuous. The steamer Ming
Sang whistled long blasts of dis
tress. A blue funnel towboat made
q heroic attempt to reach the

Indo-C China Steam Navigation
Company, was of 1850 net ton

When the terrific wind storm
struck the shore big trees were
uprooted and in several places
flung against the boundary walls
which collapsed. In the business

DAIRY COW IS
INCREASING ON
DAK0TAFARMS
Number of Animals Reported
For Taxation Shows Big In
crease in Last Z Years
HORSES ON DECLINE
Tractors Apparently Are
Pushing Old Dobbin to
Background in the State ;,
HORSES ON DECLINE

A remarkable increase in the
number of dairy cows in North
Dakota in the last six years is
shown by records in the state tax
commissioners office. taken from
the reports of auditors of the.
various counties.
The statistics also show an IN
crease in cattle generally, q
marked increase in the number. of
sheep, a decrease in hogs and q
decline in the horse raising indus
try together with an increased
dependence on gas or steam trac-
tors or threshing machines for
farm work.
The increase in dairy cows be-
tween 1916 and 1923 is 81 per
cent, or from 1885 in 1916 to
5O3,636 in 1923. A comparison of
other cattle for the two periods
follows: Cattle under one Aear
old 1916, total for state 23,518; in
1923, 269,132; cattle one year old
and under two, in 1916, total
l33,23O; in 1923, 224,344; cattle
two ) ear old and under three, in
1916, total 119,339; in 1928, total
137,2O4; bulls, in 1916 total g.
S22; in 1923, total 12,737. The
entire number of cows and cattle
of all classes increased from 724,-
GOA animals in 1916 to 1,17O,45O
animals in 1923.
In 1916 there were 114,249 sheep
on the farms of North Dakota
while in 1923 there were 174,266.
A surprising decline in the num-
ber of hogs is shown, the de-
crease being from 304,084 in 1916
to 273,649 in 1928.
The total number of horses and
mules decreased from 701,316 In
1916 to 663,79 in 1928. During
the same time gas or steam trac7
tors, and threshing machine out
fits, increased from 1880 to
25,698. s
The decline in horses and mules
is chiefly in young stock indicat-
ing that many ranchers that form
erly raised horses as a distinct
business are ceasing to compete
against the tractor. The number
of horses under one year old in
the state in 1915 was 62,685 and
in 1923 the number is 21,618.
The number one year old and
under two declined from 67,566
to 2S,883, and the number two
years old and under three decreased
from 61,140 to- 32,81S. However
the number of horses three years,
old and over increased, there be-
ing 57S,8O8 on the farms in 1928
as compared to. 497,706 in 1916.
The number of gas or steam
tractors or threshing machines
increased from $500 in 1916 to
14,60S in 1923, and the number of
threshing machines and outfits
Herewith increased from 7,84O to
1000 in like period. The number
of cows per farm in the state is
placed at 6.48, based on the 1920
census and the number of all
other cattle 8.58. The number of
horses per farm is 8.54.
