Daksta's Great Premise as q GrazisG
Csuntrv.

Before taking leave Of Dakota lot me say q
parting word. We have travelled on this ex-
petition from 0 point ct the centre to Its
western boundary, over 300 miles, In marches
ranging from Ave to twenty miles day. We
have had an opportunity to sec pretty thor
oughly the belt Of country over which we
have passed Ia the most favorable season Of
the year. The features Of particular sections
have been described In previous letters. ]
only wish TO append few remarks In regard
to the general character Of the country. Ga
its brosd, open plains, between the Missouri
and the Bad Lands, there Is generally hne
growth Of the prairie grasses, varying In
kind and quality, but rich enough to make
home for thousands Of cattle.
On our march we practically tested the
value Of this region for stock. We brought
from Fort Rice q cattle-herd OF $50 head.
Most of them were bought In Mlnn0sota aud
driven two or three hundred miles to Fort
Rice, from which after few DAYS rest, they
wore pushed on with The expedition. Except
few lame ones, wehaye not lost single steer,
and the herd rs whole weighs much more
now than when 1t started. There Is nothing
fner for cattle than this short buffalo grass,
which grows so abundanlly on the pains. II
does not kill In the winter, but Is valuable for
pasturage the whole year round. There Is also
4 tall variety Of CANA Of which cattle are
IOnu.H WIN rye, OAps anu Wneut BfuW hote
very abundantly, and with very little to rec
ommend them. Bunch grass thrives on a
considerable area. r--
For agricultural purposes this section Of
Dakota can offer no satisfactory induce
ments. The farmer, unless he Is prepared
for successive failures, had better seek
another home. From the reports made OF
the southeastern part Of the state, the only
settled portion, agriculture Is q success. The
valley Of the Red river Of the North Ii said
to be rich and fertile. In this section, how
ever. the country as an agricultural district
10 Of Q very doubtful character. The soil IL
dry, sandy, with large proportion OF clay
and alkali, aud, rs q general thing, entirely
devoid OF that rich vegetable mold which dis
tinguishcs the prairie soil Of Minnesota. In
the bottom lands, along the streams, tho soil
IL richer.
It IL possible that In the more fertile areas
wheat could be grown with success. 1t u
doubtful II Indian corn would rpen, except
the small variety OF red corn. The shortness
Of the summer and the scarcity OF water, ant
the high winds which sweep over the plair
Ike hurricanes, would imperil the life OF an,
crop. The future settlers, should the railwa,
open the country, must be prepared to under
take farming only Is an experiment and on
very likely 20 be disastrous. For severa
years past there has been an excessive drouth
There Is some evidence, however, that this !
not the general rule. This year, through
June and July, the rainfall hos been abund
