cereals. All root crop and vines pro
luce in tie greatest abundance. Turnip,
becis, onions, carrots, melons, pumpkins,
tomatoes. etc. The fruit growing quail
lies Of our SOL and climate arc yet but
partially understood and developed -
All small fruits such as strawberries,
raspbenes, blackberries, grapes, cherries
and l,luns are very prolific. Apples are
raised to some extent, crab apples in
great quantities. We have no doubt
that eventually when tie proper varieties
are adopted, and a suitable mode Of eul-
ture aseertained. that apples will be pro-
duceI abundanily here. 1t is certain
Il at they grow well in the same latitude

probably never be successfully cultivated

We have now spoken about the loca-
ton of The St. Croix Valley, its surface,
soil, climnte and productions. Next we
suppose the enquirer will want 10 know
ID ,ut
ITS PEOPLE.
Many portions Of the western states
arc settled by people from the southern
or border states. This class of inhabil-
ants are generally ignorant, lazy and
thriftless. Of course there are some
mari ed exceptions. 1lnrJ are very few,
in fact comparatively none of this class
resident here. Our citizens are almost
without exception, foreigners, or natives
Of Ohio, New York, or the New England
States. The foreigners are Irish, Nor
wegifn and Germans. The two former
classes largely predominating over the
latter. From one third to one half of
tho population of the valley belong 10 one
of these nationalities. They are nearly
all farmers, and are uniformity industri-
Gus, economical and, of course, thrifty.
They are doing much TO develop the
country, and adding largely to its wealth.
They nearly all live in distinct settle.
nents. Three or four towns in this
county arc populated exclusively, or
nearly so, by foreigners. They are
adopting the habits of tie country, and
are generally well supplied with schools
and churches.
1t seems hardly necessary to state that
the other class Of our population is in
telligent, educated snd prosperous. In
point of educational qualifications, social
attainments, and moral and religious
culture, they viii compare favorably
with any communities east or west -
Schools and churches are as plenty, and
rs well attended. and society is rs cult
waited and refined, as any Of the fasming
neighborhoods, or small villages and
cities of the east. In point of culture,
enterprise and morals, the citizens Of the
St. Croix Valley rank as high as any
community rs sparsely settled, to be
found elsewhere. In this city, with
only its 5000 inhabitants, We have six
public schools, and several private ones,
temperance and literary societies, lodges
of Free Masons, and Odd Fellows, and
eight church organizations, six of which
have good houses of worship. Other
places are as well supplied in proportion
to their size.
All classes Of cur people are "doing
WELL" Many are building up large
enterprises aud are securing a comfortable
competency. But few are INDECENT and
needy. No one need fear to come Lcle
thinking they may lack business, or
proper social and religious advantages.

CLIMATE.

i
CLIMATE.
The climate here is ia some respects
remarkable. 1t brings the extremes of
heat and cold. But although we are
subject to these extremes in their sea
son, the climate is even; that is, not sui
ject to sudden changes, and is very pleas
ant and healthful. The winter seasons
are quito long it is true, but even the
coolest weather is frequently delightful.
The air is sharp, dry and bracing, and
often when the mercury indicates an
intense degree of cold, persons Ieasona-
bly, well clad can be exposed without ex-
periencing any discomfort. The climate
is really remarkable in this respect.
The coolest days are almost always still
and dry. and it is the general experience
of persons resident here, that they sui
fer much less from the cold than they
have formerly done in ATTITUDES far south
of this. We believe it to be well es
tablished fact, that there is less suffering
here from the cold than in the states Of
Ohio, Iowa, Illinois and others of about
the Same latitude. 1t is certain that the
winters are less disagreeable, and better
adapted to the out door work of the
farmer. Snow seldom falls to a great
depth, tive feet being regarded very
heavy fnll, yet every winter brings its
weeks OF excellent sleighing. The other
seasons Of the year cannot DO surpassed
ftr their beauty. No country we have
ever seen, brings airs sweeter and more
wholesome; no where does the sun shine
with richer light, or the landscape
blossom with greater wealth Of vegeta
Die life. Whether amid The soft and
balmy winds Of opening Spring, the
breezcs hotter and more dry of full
blown Summer, or the rich and mellow
airs Of maturing Autumn, we drink 10
comfort and beauty aud health.
The beauty and health Of its climate is
one OF country's distinguishing fea-
lures, and one which is doing much TO
secure its rapidly increasing population.
Very few persons who have ever spent
an entire year here, but are pleased with
the climate, for the evenness of its tenn
peratIre and general pleasantness, while
thousands of invalids annually regain
their strength and vigor in its pure airs,
and their new and heightened lives attest
its health-gi':n5 qualities.

PRODUCTIONS.

Under the head of ''soil," We have
spoken somewhat on the productions of
the country, bat we will give them a
more extended mention here. As we
have said, wheat is tie leading staple.
This is produced in greater quantities
per acre, and of better quality, than
in any other section of the wheat grow
ing states. The quality of the wheat is
Of the very best, and commands the
highest prices in all the great markets of
the East. Oats grow eqnally well with
wheat, and are of good quality, but are
not so extensively raised, as they are
less profitable. Corn usually produces
we'll. The varieties maturing earliest.
are planted. An average crop is per.
haps 10 bushels per acre less than in the
corn growing states south Of us. Grass.
particularly upon the timber lands,
yields largely. Prairie soil, although of
ten growing larger crops. is not as good
all seasons taken together, for the growth
of grass, as the soil M the woods. Clo-
yer flourishes finely. No country can
surpass this in the quantity and quality
of potatoes produced. This crop seldom
fails is uniformly large, and is of the
yory best quality Broom corn aud
Sorghum arc raised here, although some.
times cut off before maturing. Buck
wheat also grows well, the Same rs other
