ANOTHER APRIL S.yOW.STORM
The terrible snow-storm which swept
over Kansas and Northern Missouri in
the middle of last April will be remem-
bered by every newspaper reader. a
! large number Of persons and many
thousand head of stock persisted. An
other April snow-storm visited the
States south Of us On tie 5th, Sunday
last. Ten inches Of snow fell in Chica-
go, and a foot us far south as Washing
ton. Wehave not had during the whole
winter and spring day us 'lncomfort-
able and forbitlding as that which kept
the Chicago people from church on East
er Sunday.
The more we see Of the climate of
Southwestern Minnesota, the more we
are satisfied that, all things considered,
it is unsurpassed. We are out
Of the reach Of the cold, damp
winds Of the lake region, south Of
the severe winters Of the extreme north
ern portion Of the country, and north
of the ague districts of tie west. We
are not subject to as severe storms il,
the spring as Kansas and the States
south Of us, and our autuml,s are the
perfection Of lovely, Indian Summer
weather, continuing sometimes for two
months with scarcely i cloud by day or
night. The States along the line of the
Union Pacific are evidently subject to
Il set of storms which never reach Min
nesota. Those storms Which originate
in the Rocky Mountain region crossed
by the Union Pacific, blow over Kan
sas, and portions of Nebraska and Mis-
souri,, but do not reach us, while the
storms which originate in the North
West and sweep over us, also reach to
Nebraska and Kansas. We have not
had Il severe storm in South Western
Minnesota since January 7th, 1873.

Prairie fires now illuminate the hori-

ed off, we suppose, for the purpose Of
destroying any young tree which may
be growing, and also to prevent the
grasshoppers from being burned up
when they hatch out.
