wool interests Of the state by dogs, and Al mr.
gent r. quest is made for legislation which will
protect the sheep farmer. The treeless condi'
lion Of the northern, western and southern por.
tions OF the state is the subject Of considerable
comment and arguemeAt. the result OF which

Strong recommendations were made in favo1
! Of the state and comfy forestry, &c.
A long and informal conversational discus
! sion was had oa the sctioa Of III meeting Of
Minnesota and Wisconsin wheat dealers =
Minneapolis, Dec. Is, 1881, when they agreed
to establish uniform grade. Of wheat, with &

The d scussion on this subject brought ou

| which the state should protect tho farmer BY
sufficient and efectual legislation as soon Il
Ir. cticable. I, vas thought that sooner OF
later tbs farmers OF the state would ul'ite to &c
