below zero, there Is no contemplation OF
spring openings. Barring the little jog of
weather last week-s cold blast from the re-
motest part of the north pole-the weather
around and about Dodge has resumed its
normal condition. The weather for few
days has been decidedly pleasant and being
thawed out, go tospeak, We have given some
thought to the spring boom. There will be
considerable building going on the coming
season. Town lots are advancing in value,
and We hear of some contracts for business
lots at fabulous prices. The prices however
are in perfect keeping with the prospects be-
fore us and these wholesome figures will be
maintained.
The railroad company will give the inn
petus 10 the progressive boom in building.
About March 1st the company will conn.,

round houses to be built of eighteen stalls
each, and number of other machine build
ings, heretofore mentioned in this paper.
Workmen are engaged now in putting down
idetracks 10 the coal chutes, and other prep
aratious for tracklaying are beng made.
Material for the new buildings is coming
every day, and during the balmy days We
can contemplate the approach of spring and
the activity spring will bring US. Dodge is
going to make big stride the present year.

The demand for tillable land for small
farms is breaking up some of the large
ranches in California. containing from 80, 600
to 10000 acres each. Colonies Of small
proprietors are beginning to settle upon
them, the owners of the great tracts, it il
said, showing a disposition to meet the de-
mand by subdividing their property. The
American idea is 160 acres to each farmer,

March II, 1883 (
Editors lake Charles Echo:
i noticed in an issue Of your paper
not long ago, you invited communi.
cations from the country, etc. ac-
cept the invention and send yon few
points from here.
Our farmers are all busy plowlng
and planting, and although alittle be-
hind on account of the cold and back
ward spring, have strong hopes Of
raising good crops this year. We are
beginning to realize that the old prac-
tiee Of planting four Or five acres in
corn and cbopping and hauling logs
the balance of the year, don't pay.
We viii farm more this year, and in
the future, aud chop aud haul fewer
logs. There is money in well com
Quoted farm, and plenty of it. And
then again, we are beginning to find
out that there is money in raising
stock, even if we are only able &c raise
few. Horses, COWS, steers, yearlings
snd hogs aIe worth 60 much ready
cash, in any market We can raise the
feed for the stock with very little ex-
ertion. Our seasons are becoming
more regular, and almost anything we
plant viii grow, aud ripen in due sea
son. Then we can gather our crops,
fatten our stock, and sell il easily for
good prices. Stock should be better
taken care Of than some Of my neigh
bors do with theirs. Good shelters
should be provided for the winter, and
not turn ont the poor dumb animals
loose in the woods to root hog Or
die" Some farmers sell their stock
as winter approaches, but this is
wrong, unless you are ready TO sell.
II we have raised feed for them, as we
should have done, it will pay us as
well to keep them through the winter
as it will anyone else. Here is what
it will cost to keep one cow year:
Two acres Of oats or some other kind
Of grain for pasturage, the seed for
which will cost $l50. Two days
blowing to plant the seed, at dollar
per day, 5000 Dry feed to the
amount of $500, making $3.50. The
COW will yield US one quart Of milk
daBj worth 10 cents quart, for se5
days, which amounts to $1,000. Then
the calf is worth $1,000 more.
These are only a few loose thoughts.
If we will iptelligently direct our la
bors, count up losses and gains every
week or every month, work more and
grpmble less, we will be more happy,
contented and richer. That is the pro
granme for the future Of yours, re
specially, Put.
