I'm his opening address before the
International Dairy Fair in New York,
Horatio Seymour gave the dairymen
an idea of their Importance by stating
that "our dairy product annually ex-
ceeds in value the $500, 000, 900 of
bank currency" and by showing how
"tbe foothoid of our butter aud cheese
exports in British and other markets
is to be made permanent by our cheap
and fertile lands and better methods
of manufacture" At this fair there
were 10000 packages of cheese, from
all parts of the world, aud one huge
pyramid consisting of ten tons of for
eign and domestic cheese OF d;fferen,
colors, and surmounted by the figure
of an Alderney COW. resting OH ten
cheeses which weighed three and a
half tons, Exchange.

HOW TO Bu11D4up 4 CITY.

A prominent citizen Of Fargo suggests,
through the Republican Of that place, that
. boulevard be laid out around that city
and suitably adorned; and further. By way
of advice, urges that if the citizens would
systematically and unitedly labor for the
adornment of the city, much could be &C.
complished towards making it desirable
place for residence as well as business.
The prominent citizen Of Fargo, whoever
he may be, is . wise and valuable fraction
of Fargo's population, and if his sugges-
lions are acted upon Fargo will have its
grand boulevard msrEined with elegant
residences. in q very few years. A. q next
step, It will set aparta few blocks Of ground
here and there for the purpose of public
parks, and these it will plant with trees
and shrubbery, and surround with q sub
stantial fence. 1t will go further and plant
rows of trees along the borders Of its side
walks, and before all these Improvements
are completed it will find its population
augmenting. and nearly every man. woman
and child Of the city will have caught the
spirit of improvement from the municipal
example and will be working each in his
own way to add to the attrac.iveness Of the
place. In Q very few years it will be known
a. one Of the most beautiful and desirable
cities in the west; families Of wealth and
refinement will Geek its shaded groves and
elegant mansions during the heated sea
SOM, and while enjoying is invigoratine
climate will lavishly scatter their abundan
ducats. An inducement will be given TO
fine schools and seminaries, and in tn
course Of . few years Fargo will learn tha
the "bread cast upon the waters in build
ing boulevards and Identifying their city
Will return an abundant reward.
Yankton has one of the finest situation
naturally, IN tie whole west. It occupi'
recommending site and with Q little energ.
q little public spirit, end . little none
could be made . little paradise. It b.
neither. boulevard or park-and but fs
shade trees. An outlay ofi few thousar
dollars In providing these would be wor
hundred thousand to the general purse
five years, and do as much to secure
Yankton q substantial growth and
the foundations of its prosperity Is q doz
railroads.
