THE STANDARD.
TIL TUESDAY,. MAY 80, 1879
From Wisconsin.

TREMPEALEAN, May l6, 1879.
Since l wrote last it has been very dry
and cool, freezing several nights in sue
cession. Many farmers in the uplapds
had become considerably discouraged
from the poor stand of wheat Bot
good and refreshing rain came few days
since raising the rivers to full banks, and
all classes are stimulated with hope and
expectation. The fruit crop is reported
from many localities as having been
greatly damaged by the late frosts Corn
plan ting is about through and there is
kind of quietus among the farmers The
foliage will soon be full, and the bluffs
and streaked valleys in their green yes
ture present one of the most lovely views
and picturesque scenes on the Mississippi
Financial matters remain dull and close.
but good and steady market for wheat
Should there be an abundant crop and
fair price this fall, the country will be
greatly restored from its PROSTATE condi-
tion and all kinds of business will be
readily and successfully resumed.
go west young man." is being re-
sponded to by thousands of emigraDts
who are availing themselves of the ia,
vorable opportunities offered to secure
good and cheap farms. The emigration
through this part of Wisconsin has been
for the last few weeks greater than ever
was known. Now is the time for US
young men to emigrate. Many who are
rushing to professions expecting to at
tain honor and fame, and who have to
contend against many natural disadvan
tages would make far better success of
life by accepting some of the western op
portunities.
The most necessary requisites after
locating are energy and willingness to
display muscle. These are absolutely
necessary Many of the most wealthy
farmers in this vicinity came here from
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and some of the
farther eastern States with only yoke
of oxen for team, hauling their entire
wealth Oh a cart. This is only illustra
tive of what thousands OF young men
could do for themselves in the future
The west is large country and is invit-
ing you to come.
Those in the latitude of southern Ohio
we would not advise to go far north as
Minnesota and Dakota, as we fear the
cold and piercing winds of winter would
prove too severe.
1t is cold up here; no joke about it.
The chances in Kansas and Nebraska are
just as promising, if not surprising those,
in the more northern latitudes. There
will be many inconvenients you will meet
with in the west which you do not find
in the older sections of our country; but
these, you must take into consideration
before coming. But none greater than
our fathers and grandfathers had to meet.
A few years ago where they hauled their
produce from so to $50 miles, they have
railroads running through their farms.

Chicago) on Friday, 9 A. M. the same
week issued. Soon or perhaps sooner
than some within the county.
One great burden to the western farm
ers has been the introduction of too
taking the old fashioned cradle and
scythe into the harvest. Sulky plans are
being introduced nd are proving sue
cess on the prairies. Many selfbinders
were used last season in this State and
Minnesota. They do good and fast work
The only objection is the wire band; but
that is being superseded by water proof
paper which is strong and durable, and
| stands the test of wet seasons but more
of fs rming hereafter.
We see the Standard is the same firm
Republican paper as ever, coming out in
the Lass issue with his "amicably obsti-
late chicken from Ohio firmly and res
olutely endorsing the veto act The
Presidents position has met hearty ap-
proval flom all the Republicans in the
north west. Many Democrats tremble,
and fear their prospects for 1880 are be-
ing blighted by the present session of
Congress. Some are heaping vitupera-
tions upon the President, others are per-
fectly reticent waiting to hear from head
quarters. There seems to be no possible
chance for them but to adopt the craw-
fish movement and openly confess the
Presidents Back bone" is one solid YER
libra. Respectfully,
