wear.

"wittlea," and anxlously implores his country
supporters to contribute to the support of his
family. by bringing in pumpkins on subscrip-

of safe crossing for himself and his
young squaws.
New York Examiner: John Stone re-
turned from Dakota this week and is
highly pleased with the country. He
travelled largely over the country. and
tells stories that seem increditable about
farmers raising thirty-five and forty
bushels of wheat per acre, and having
farms of two hundred or six hundred
acres. The climate, he says, cannot be
equaled for the same latitude. and the
soil is excelled by none. Mr.. Stone, with
twenty or thirty other families from this
place, will locate there in the spring.

come to talk about fertile soil. a farm
er planted small house, lOxl2 on his
quarter section, and the next year it
had grown into large and pleasant
farm house, with green blinds and YER

over its boundary and covered three
quarters of section. He had grown
from slim, dyspeptic person to an in
dividual OF over 200 pounds, and his
pocket book had grown so heavy he had
to invest in government bonds. Who
says Dakota soil is not productive?-Ex.
