BILE things l ind are mosquitoes and
high winds.
Land is very easily cultivated
here; one man with team can tend
forty acres of corn that will produce
from 40 to 60 bushels per acre, or
twice that amount of land in grain !;
and can take care of 100 head of
cattle easy enough. The houses are
small here, as it costs very high for
lumber-s3O, to 60, per thousand,
but when the Des MOines railroad
is through to MIMI, lumber will be
much cheaper,and farmers will build
good houses and fence with boards,
instead of wire,as at present. Wild
game is plenty, especially chickens,
geese, ducks and sand.h cranes

There are some deer and elk; furred

The third day opened bright and

Der of people in attendance during
the day must have been about 5000.
Most Of the stock had been taken
from the grounds, and the principal
attraction Of the day was the races
which were to come off in the after.
noon. But this part of the pro-
gramme was failure, and the fair
ended in row between Ballard of
w. II. junction, and his frieds, and
the officers of the Society, in re-
gard to which We will state wha.
we believe to be the facts.
On the morning of the second day
the officers announced that no horse
could enter and trot for more than
one purse. The application of this
rule to the 800 race conflicts with
the announcement in the printed
programmes, which declares the
purse ''open to all horses, in or out
Of the State" without qualification
As to the prOpriety Of making this
rule after the fair had commenced
; We leave others to judge, mere
~ remarking that the Manager
: considered it necessary, to protec,
the interests of the owners of horse,
in the county. Billiard claimed the
right to enter and trOt Snow Flax,
for the money, anc the officers ruled
her out because she had already
taken one purse.

pearance in front of the Judge,
