The Cross, Girl.

The GAINESVILLE, Wisconsin,, Gazette
says: There was only q moderate
degree of interest on the fair ground
on Friday afternoon in regard to the
premium which Mr.. George w. Peck
offered to the "boss'' girl Of Rock
county. There we're several candi-
dates, and the friends Of each pretty
strongly set forth their qualifications
in letters to Mr.. Vankirk, secretary
Of the society. twas an exceedingly
happy hit which Mr.. Peck made
when his genius for wholesome fun
induced him to offer a sewing ma
chine to the "boss" girl. There was
not full attendance of the commit
tee, only three being present aud
three voting by proxy, and major
lty of these voted FOR Miss Maggie
Inman, of the town of Bra lford.
She is not girl of the period, so to
speak, but good housekeeper, in
dustrious, not particularly handsome,
but energetic, and in many ways ac-
complished. Several years ago she
gained quite reputation for captur-
ing den of wolves, and securing
their scalps, aud last summer she
went to D,kotl and entered quar-
ter section Of land. When the, vote
of the comm ttee was announced, the
sewing machine was placed on dry
goods box In tront Of one Of fthe build
inys, and then there was y treren-
,luus rush for the spot to see the
sboss girl" Mr.. Fethers made
very neat little speech in presenting
the sewing machine to the lucky
young lady, who stood III the crowd
in front Of the speaker. When her
name became known aud the pre-
sentation was mphte, Miss Inman
mounted the bax with as much con-
fidence as an old stager Al public
speaking and did herself muchacredit
in thanking the coma,itt-e for the
honor they conferred upon her, aud
remarked, in closing, tilxa II the cum.
mittee learned in after years that the
gift had not been worthily bestowed,
It was not the first time :nan Wa de-

Creanleries.

An industry which is now receiving the
attention of the farmers OF Iowa and Min
ncsota and which thc farmers Of Dakota
will do well to give thought to is the es-
tablishment of creameries and the manu-
facture of butter and cheese. No section
of our country offers better facilities for
the breeding and maintenance of cattle,
as the native grasses Of our prairie are
more nutritious and health sustaining than
those OF either of the above mentioned
states; and owing to the fact that all
kinds Of cattle prefer them, even during
the winter, when available, to al! other
feed, the cost of maintaining stock the
year round is much less than in any other
section.
Creameries, provided with the modern
appliances for butter making, are not only
source of profit to the owners. but to the
neighboring farmers as we'll, for the far
mers within radius of miles receive Il
better price for their cream, from tine
creamery, than they could if made into
butter and s,ld. In single town In
Iowa, over $4,000 month is paid out
for milk and cream to supply creameries.
The town has population OF about two
thousand. A few years ago, the farmers
were going into bankruptcy raising wheat !;
now they are getting rich on cream and
milk A creamery near Winnebago City,
Minn., pays the farmers who furnish it
with milk as high as fifteen cents pound
for butter without the making, and, as a
consequence the farmers in that section
are improving their stock and introducing
cows possessing superior milking proper
ties.
If our farmers, instead of devoting all
their energies to the raising Of wheat,
would establish few good cIcameres in
each county and introduce cows of good
milking qualities, the result would re-
dound to the general good.-Watertown

To Eastern Emigrants.

The following letter written by a
settler Of McCcok county is just as
applicable to Stutsman county and
Jamestown:
GENTLEMEN: You ask me how it
is in Dakota? I will gladly answer
YOU; because I have been all over
the United States and found no coun-
try that can surpass Dakota in farm
ing and stock raising. I have been
farming in timbered country where
have paid SIS an acre: $40 tor clear
ing it, and then I had nothing but
stumps and stones left on the land.
But at any rate I made my living by
working out elsewhere the first year
The second year made good liv-
ing by going six months into the
pinery Cutting logs and four months
on the river working the logs down
stream. The third year planted a
little mortgage on my farm and then
l was well fixed, you see; paying ten
per cent interest. But ! did not
want to give to up farming yet, in
Wis, so struggled on several years
longer and the mortgage increased,
and at last my creditors came and
took most all 1 had left. You see,
my friends, that's just what they will
do with you, by and by. Then !
took my bundle and came ito Salem,

How to Handle Money.

Large savings invariably originate
In small sums, just y money embar
rassments arises from little extrava-
gances. Very few'porsons of ordinary
honesty, deliberately set to work to
make large purchases which they can
not afford to, aud yet numbers spend
just as much in the long run in little
things that they think worthy notice.
tits vero difficult to fully realize the
value Of small sums. Little savings,
if made at all, must be made in per.
sonal expenditure. What is spent
over the household is generally needed
but the personal luxuries, which cost
% little are not And when any saw
ing is made in this way, the money
should be put away and saved, instead
Of being mixed with the spending fund,
and additions made to it as frequently
- possible: that will make you under
stand, as soon as anything, what shall
economics amount to. When money
Il set aside to saved, it should be put
in some place where it can't be direct
y got at the savings bank for in,
stante. Tho very fact that a little
trouble and formula has to DC gone
through before II can DO obtained
many q time prevents its being when
i certainly would have been had il
been close at hand.
