Mr.. A. Cowen, who is extensively known
in this part oil the State, as dealer in farm
machinery, came to Wa1ena about a month
ago and, after spending several days here,
departed ostensibly tor Racine, Wis, but
has not since been seen or heard from. He
left team at the Wadena House stable,
which remained there unoalled for until
Monday last, when so11ae relatives called for
it and took it back to Fergus Falls. Some
parties claiming to have mortgage on the
team have since called for it, There are va
rious rumors afloat, as usual, as to the prob

heads significantly. Others say he has left
the country for the country's good. AT all

Stochrais;n9 IN Northern Minnesota

ED. N. p. FARMER: Having received two
letters from your county asking my opinion
us regards the best breed of swine for a farm
er to raise, l thought that would reply
through your paper, hoping that other breed
ers will reply through the same medium,
aud make your paper interesting to the
farmer and breeder.
My preference is the "Berkshire'' for. the
following reasons. l. They are free from
disease, generally speaking.) 81. They are
active and good feeders. Sd. They are
prolific breeders and make good mothers.
4th. They mature early and iatten readily
at any age, and make the best pork OF any
breed that l ever raised, and have raised
all except the Poland China.
In selecting breeders be sure to not get
them Of kin, and set those that keep easy,
and above all get none but the pure breed
that are entitled to registry. And here let
Inc advise your Numerous farmers and breed
ers not to go out Of the State to buy their
stock, as you can get as goAd if not he tier in
the State than outside. have bought from
breeders in sister States. and paid big prices
and did not get near as good stock l got of
e. A. De Graft, Importer of breeds of blooded
stock of all kinds, and of the best quality,
and what he ships will he as good if not bet
ter than he represents And right here let
me add that it will pay any farmer or breed
er to visit his stock farm at Janesvile, Wa
SEGA county, Minn., and look over his stock,
Our State is fortunate in having such IN ell
thusiastic breeder and gentleman as Mr. De-
Graft, who spends time and money in having
the best the country affords, and places his
stock in the market &C prices so low that
they are within the reach of all farmers.
