Farming in Dakota.

Speaking of farming reminds me of
the Red River country, where we lin
gered day or two to take in this north
ern land Of Canaan, SO full Of mud and
money. The marvellous stories of this
rich valley are not exaggerations. Re-
suits show it to be the finest and most
productive wheat growing region in all
the west, and that is saying good deal.
Fargo, on the Northern Pacific is the
commercial center, and promises to be-
come city in a day. An hour with
Dalrymple, the great Goliah of Changers,
will make your eyes bulge and your
American heart swell with pride. The
figures are appalling; enough to make a
small-fsted farmer sick, Here they are
in brief: He cultivated this year 1900
acres, and harvested over 100000 BUSH
els Of grain, chiefly wheat, for which he
realized, net, "a cents bushel, market
ed in Buffalo. His average yield of
wheat was % bushels to the acre; oats,
60 bushels. To harvest this crop requir-
ed the services Of 400 or more men, as
many horses, 80 reapers and binders,
and ID steam threshing machines. His
shipments during the harvesting season
were as many cars daily as one engine
could draw. He chartered train each
and every day To provide for and
control such an army, to keep the ma
chinery in regular motion, to provide
for breakages and prevent delays, to at
tend to shipments and pay for freight
and labor, must call for generalship und
executive ability of the highest order
And yet Mr.. Dalrymple is a plain and
modest man, but close calculator, with
rare force and energy. He was born in
Warren, Pa, and taught school there
abouts, studied and practiced law in
Minnesota, and then turned farmer on
the grand scale known only in Dakota
The potatoes of the Red River valley
are the finest that ground ever grew. 1t
is strictly true that many were produced
this year weighing six pounds apiece
ten to the bushel; and not at all inferior
in quality by reason of their great size.
Dakota will be the next star in the gal
axy of States. The territory is rotten
with riches, and the world is finding it
out.-Dakota Letter to the Elmiru en-
~ Advertiser

The Best Cows.

An earnest farmer asks our opinion,
What is the best COW for a farmer to
keep" We unhesitatingly answer, the
short-horn. The mass Of the farmers
in Iowa are not dairymen. The farmer
wishes to make butter enough for his
own use, but his main business is, or
should be, to raise calves. Unless he
proposes to make butter speciality and
do it on scientific principles, it is use
less to make any more than for his own
table. The average price of farm but
ter cannot be over ten cents. The past
year it has not been so much. During
the season of the year when most is
made, it hardly pays to take it to the
market. Farmers then should keep
that class of cows that will produce
calves for beeves. This position is so
thoroughly established that we have no
hesitation in recommending it uncondi-
tionally. Get thoroughbred bull which
are cheap, and commence by breeding
for grades on the common cows, and as
he progresses raise the grade. 1t is not
necessary to raise full bloods for beef,
as high grades are about equal for that
purpose.-Rcgister.

Bacon Hogs.

The Prairie Farmer has often called
attention to the fact that light hogs in
good condition would outsell heavy
ones. They really ought to bring more
per pound, from the fact that the
frame, once made, the mere putting on
of additional fat is comparatively easy
While this is true, it is as true that the
difference in the price of hogs suitable
for bacon is out of proportion to that of
the heavy ones, or those suitable for
heavy side pork or the rendering tank
For hams for city use especially, and
for bacon, light class of hogs is dcsir-
able those not weighing over two hun
bred pounds. These also are not re-
CURED to be excessively fat; neverthe-
less the pig must not only be in good
condition, but meaty. This class of
hogs whatever the price of ordinary
hogs, will always command ready sale
and bring top prices.
The breeder and feeder of these
grades Of pork should select not only
swine which will come forward early,
but they must possess at the same time
plenty of meat. They should be kept
growing steadily from the time they are
pigs until ready to turn off. To do.
this they should have plenty of grazing
and be fed variety Of solid food
ground oats, barley, mill feed, such as
will conduce to muscular development.
Then they may be finished with corn or
cornmeal to produce the requisite fat
ness, and will thus bring the top price
at any time or market. This class of
hogs are well worthy the attention of
feeders especially now, when the de-
preston in the price of hogs has proba-
bly, not reached the lowest figure to
which it may 60. While the price Of
bacon hogs is always good, the demand
is limited, and for the reason that the
supply is so small and irregular that
onr packing firms are not warranted in
making special arrangements for pro-
ducing this class Of products. Hence
the offerings are taken principally by
city butchers. Prairie Farmer.

ORNAMENTAL HEDGEs.-For an or
namental hedge, the American arbor-
Vita is one of the most beautiful, as
well as suitable, as it is comparatively
easy to be transplanted, and bears
shearing in any form. The hemlock,
however makes handsome screen,
from its lively green, but the plants are
hard to procure, and more difficult to
transplant The buckthorn and privet
both form handsome deciduous hedges.
The privet forms more dense wall of
verdure, and will grow best under the
shade of trees. As single shrub, reg
ularly kept down by the shears, the
hemlock is extremely beautiful, nothing
indeed, can be more ornamental.

On large dairy farms in this country
the milking is of necessity done by
men; but on smaller ones it were better,
in many cases, that it should be done
by women. They seem to understand
how to do it almost intuitively. and
cows themselves prefer to be MIXED by
them 1t is said that they frequently
accommodate themselves to women milk
ers, while they refuse TO let down or
yield ready flow to men. 1t was form
erly the case, when the occupations of
the dairy-maid were considered among
the pleasantest duties which engaged
the attention of the daughters of our
well-to-do farmers. Milking COWS is
known to be one of the most healthful
of all rural employments. The aver
sion which girls of the present day
have to this branch of dairy work arises
in part from the unfavorahle conditions
under which they are frequently requir-
ed to perform the service-exposure to
storms, untimely hours, filthiness of the
stables or barn yards, long distances to
carry the milk, etc. These, where they
exist are valid objections, but they are
such as may readily be removed.
1t should be the business of the head
of the farm to see that the females who
attend to the milking are afforded prop
per helps and conveniences. They
should be provided with dry and clean
place to milk; the cows should be plac-
ed, and, where the distance is great. the
milk should be carried-everything, in
fact, but the actual milking and manip-
ulation of the milk, should be done by
boys or men,
Give the girls fair chance, and re-
store to them what fashion or pride has
for time taken from them-an occu-
patton or industry at once pleasant and
invigorating, and one which will give
bloom to their cheeks and strength and
health to their systems In Holland
the milk-maid is accompanied by boy.
The boy lows little boat along the ca
nal, and the maid with her full blue
petticoat and her pink jacket walks be-
side him. Arriving at the pasturage,
she brings from the boat her copper
lk-pails, as bright as gold, and with a
kindly greeting to her cows, sits down
her little stool on the grass and begins
to milk. The boy, having moored his
boat, stands beside her with the special
pail which is to hold the last pint from
each COW; the creamy pint, which comes
last, because it has risen to the top in
the udder. Not drop is left to turn
sour and fret the COW. The boy fetches
and carries the pals. The girl milks
the COW, and the boy does all else. The
services of the girl are brought into use
again in the dairy-room; but from the
lifting. and harder kinds of work

CoRNsTALK SUGAR-Some excellent
work has been done latterly by the
chemists of the department Of agri-
culture at Washington, and if DR.. Col
lier's experiments turn out as success
fully as they have begun they will give
the farmers an almost entirely new
source of wealth. He has been expert
menting upon the manufacture of a syrup
capable of being worked into crystalized
sugar The only mill at his disposal
was an old one, with rusty screws, but
even with this apparatus he succeeded
in expressing 2,773 pounds of juice from
II, 237 pound of cornstalks, and 1864
pounds of juice from 1858 pounds of
sorghum. With improved mills Dr. Col
her thinks nearly 80 per cent. more
might easily be added. Farmers will
now be able to utilize large portion
of the produce of their fields which was
previously worthless, and subsequent
experiments will no doubt augment the
value of corn stalks and sorghum as
much as the extraction upon an extern
sive scale, of sugar from beet at the
instance Of the first Napoleon did the

The cattle in large portion of Ben
gal are dying at the rate of hundreds a
day, and the streams are completely
choked with dead bodies. The de-
crease in the number and the deteriora-
ton in the quality of the agricultural
cattle all over British India is one of
the gravest features to be noted in con-
nection with the general condition of
the peasantry. In no respect have the
various famines produded more dan
gerous effect than in this direction.
There is no reason to doubt whether
either men or animals obtain suffi-
cient supply of food now even in ordi-
nary times. The consequence is that
both succumb with terrible facility to
the slightest scarcity or to the mildest
disease. Such a state Of things tends
to perpetuate itself. The quality of
the cultivation falls off with the char
acter of the bullocks employed in it.
Deep blowing becomes more and more
exceptional, while the cost of replacing
the dead animals by other beasts tends
still further to the impoverishment of
the people.
