Dakota.

Grass is king Of Dakota, the proposed

broad valley Of the Missouri and that OF
tho Red River Of the North. The Black

reaching after her abundant grain crops.
Bcsldes gold aud silver, coal Is found la
tho northern and western districts, anu
petroleum springs from tho rocks in many
places. Tho climate presents less that is
Objectionable to tho Eastern emigrant
than either of the adjoining States. Ita
winters arc mildcr and its atmosphere Is Of
tho most remarkable salubrity. Tue soil
is a rich vegetable mould, ranging from
tho most fcrtlle alluvlum IN tue bottom
lands-of which thore are many thousands
of acres along The Missouri and It's tribu-
taries--to the more compact upland prairie,
thoroughly well adapted to tho production
of wheat and other grains. Oats, peas,
barley, and such small grains attain tho
ripest perfection; but the great and crown
ing wealth of Dakota, outranking gold,
wheat, corn and all else, Is her incompar-
able crop of grass. Thousands OF square
miles Of her bottom lands yield two tons
or more per acre per year at single cut :,
ting, viii away north, in the Red River
valley, four tons per year are secured by
two cuttings. For stock raising, wool
growing, and tho production of root crops,
Dakota possesses unsurpassed advantages.
