Another View OF the West.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, September "a, 1888

OF IAuL mlnH, september "a 1855.
Mr. Editor Il read with much interest the
article in your last issue, giving such glowing
accounts Of the mammoth wheat fields of Min
nesota. Though all that, and even more, is
true, there is another side to prairie life that Is
seldom mentioned by those who paint such en-
ticing pictures of the vast resources of the
West, that tempt the young, energetic and GO
ahead people from New England When the
busy season is over and the winter comes on
which is of about equal duration with those of
Vermont and much colder on an average, they
don't tell how many of the laborers, who were
so busy in harvest time, must be idle; neither
OF the privations and sufferings endured the
first few years a newcomer is on his farm till
town springs up near him. And though the
growth of some of these western cities is al
most fabulous those from the East, who have
been accustomed to social privileges of re-
timing nature will miss them sorely. The poor
man in Vermont, if he o,onS a little home of ten
acres of land, or even less, will have more real
comforts, though inexpensive, than will be
found in the homes of prairie farmers, who
own what would be called large farms at the
East IL something could be done to quicken
the pulses OF Vermonters, and open their eyes
to the resources Of what is about them, they
would have as long and varied list as any
northwestern state can show. Its numerous
streams might furnish power for all kinds of
manufacturing purposes. 1t has still some
valuable TIMBER though sad havoc has been
made with the forests that once covered its
hills and mountains. Its numerous quarries of
marble, granite and slatestone, as well as mines
that have been worked to some extent are val
liable. As to the farming interest, as much
can be, and is raised per acre by the skllfu
farmer as here, and he can get higher price
for what he does raise. Vermont has one ad-
vantage over northern Minnesota. 1t can pro-
duce quite variety Of apples while | have
not seen an apple tree, except varieties of the
crab, since came here And then for beauti-
full scenery, an ADLER pen than mine is needed
to paint its beauties.
