lest farmers Of st. Joseph county, In
diana, visited the Buchheit Bros. last
week and became SO infatuated with
our soil that he declared his intention
to straightway induce his sons to locate
in Griggs county. He says if no more
work was put on the land down in his
region than the farmers allOt to their
fields here they wouldn't be able to raise
white beans.
A Peoria girl planted lot of feath-
ers with the hope that they would bring
forth an early crop of spring chickens.
She is closely related to the young lady
who wouldn't eat veal because she
thought she never afterward could look
a COW in the face. The latter young
lady is sister to the Coopersrown gent
who told DR.. Newell he conld not look
a hog in the back because he had been
eating SO much ham at Merrill's.
T. A. Olmstead, chief inspector of
wheat at Duluth. having heard rumors
of light crop in Dakota feared his bus
mess OF inspecting at 25 cts. per car load
might suffer tins fail and therefore came
out to see about it. He gazed upon the
fields of grain that surround Coopers-
town and went home rejoicing. feeling
sanguine that the inspection of Griggs
county wheat alone would keep the
traditional wolf from his door. 1t might
be added that the Board of Grain In.
spectors of Dakota have adopted his
rules verbatim to govern the inspection
and grading of grain in Dakota Territory
for the year ending August LIST, 1884.
Dakota girls are the universal news
paper topic, not only of western plpers
but OF journals throughout the width and
breadth of the land There are man,
distinct traits possessed by the Dakota
girl that entities her to all the attention
she is receiving. These modern femin
ines are not afraid to sleep alone once uI
twice a month on their claims, notwitll
standing the wolves may howl aro.nlo
the door and the gophers play hide ant
seek about the shanty like SO man,
mice. Then again the Dakota girl ism
backward about admitting her age to b,
at least q, and even swearing that sllt
is, for that is the price of l6O acres o1
good land, to her. The Dakota girl takes
the ball Of wax, and no mistake.
