Tie latest concerning the indian war
Is that Crook and Terry have joined

who number from 3,O0Oto 1900 war
riors. The report of a great battle, it
seems, was not true, A number of the
Utes have deserted and gone over to
Sitting Bull, taking the arms furnished
by the government with them.
We have letters from other parts of
the State asking how a bounty from
the National government can be ap-
Piled to the determination of grasshop-

young ]'oppers by the bushel, or shall it
be for destroying eggs by the quart, or

Will our readers write us on this sub

Read the interesting letter published
elsewhere on Dairying. This. letter is
from farmer engaged in the business,
and may be relied OH. lie tells his
brother farmers, however, that it will
take 'energy' and ''hard work" Those
who go into dairying and attend well
to the business will win. His next let
