Improved Stock.

Stock raising is probably the most lucrative
business that can be entered into in this Terri
tory. Ths high price Of cattle throughout the
Gssl, the,Sspehse Of bridging them to the Ter
ff@ ;eldAt6c~ Nat daand here for Beef
Butter, Cheese &c, as.4 the peculiar adapta-
tation Of the lund in this Territory for the
growth Of stock, proves clearly that stock furms
must bc, beyond doubt, the most valuable spe-
cics Of property.
A. yet bat little has been done towards the
Improvement Of stock in the Territory and we
are highly glattied 10 sec that at this time
many are making eXertions 10 bring in lmproy-
ed breeds. Col. Stevens of Minneapolis last
year got up Il fine Durham Bu!l and a heiler OF
the same breed, from which the farmers III
Henncpm County are now breeding very cx-
tonSivcly, which will OF coarse make general
Improvement in that region. and NJ. William
Fowler of Red Rock prairie has iust brought
up beautiful Deyoushiro Bull, which he pur
chased in Geauga County. Ohio.
Tins Bail took the first prize at the Ohio
state Far in 1871, and at the Geausa County

The country or the north side Of the river is
also becoming thckly settled. and our mer-
chants are carrying on thriving business with
the farmers, who are located from the bluffs on
the opposite side Of the River to Lake Mime
tonka. said lake being five miles from this
place.
While We have many advantages, we also
have our disadvantages. For instance, we now
have no shoemaker. If one should settle here,
besides doing a thriving business, he would re-
celvc muciGs gYatids, from our citizens
! Barber also il much needed. 4 long
beard and fierce mOustache are becoming too
hoathen.sh for the citizens of town which is
becoming civilized.
An oyster saio0n-biard saloon-ten-pn
alley, &c, would pay. \ tobacco and cigar
store is likewise in great demand while our
Iair damse!s cannot as yet deprive the young
gents Of their spare change by alIurng them
into a conlectoner's shop or ice-cream saloon
Tel RenZ and harcher to branch out
We also want a har lware store here. Far

scedy.
There is one thing more rbnut this place
which while It pains us to relate, yet il is de-
mlntled by regard for vcraeity.
1t Is this. During the larger portion of the
season, steamers cannot go above ShaEopee--
