A Paradise for Lazy Farmers.

Our friend Nelson, who turns a deaf
ear to the idle gossip of the world, but
forms his opinions and impressions, from
practical standpoint, has been soiourning,
for a season, in the far-off Northwestern
regions of Dakota, on the line of the North
ern Pacific railroad. He likes the salubri-
Gus Summer climate of that region, but
detests its large mosquitoes and hyperbore-
an winters. He maintains, however, that
it is very paradise for lazy farmers. When
Spring opens they get their ground ready
for sowing, which is as deep and rich as
any of the prairies of Illinois. This done
the crop of wheat is put in, corn and po-
tatoes planted: and little attention is re-
quired till the crop is ready for the harvest.
Then an abundant crop of the best wheat
in the world is sure to reward his industry
and patience. He thrashes the grain mar
kets what he can spare, and eats the rest
with the vegetables which the bounteous
earth has yielded to his touch. In the
meantime he has moved and stacked as
uucu prairie nay dS Will w Ills Sloch, anu
built straw shed for their shelter from
the storms of Winter. The cattle have free
access to the stacks of hay, and travel back
and forth from the straw rooted shelter to
the hay stacks, without troubling the
farmer to feed them twice a day: who left
to his leisure, sleeps and eats by turns,
through the long Winter, and lounges and
basks through large portion of the Sum-
mer lie lives rough and easy; bountiful
nature yielding him abundance of food for
little exertion.

like fox-hunting, only lacking the fox ele-

the country in chase of horseman who is
given ten minutes start. and whose track
is marked out by bits Of cut paper which
his motion scatters out of couple of huge
bags with which he is laden. The "bush''

A careful examination Of the increase Of aalaFlss
