A Good Country for Settlers.

We recommend people who intend
going to the Northwest next spring
to settle to look carefully into the adj
ymtages offered by the region lying
west OF the Missouri river in Dakota.
on both sides of the Northern Pacific
line. The merits of this region may
fairly he summarized rs follows:
First-1t is all quite new and the
settler will therefore have the benefit
of the increase in values of lands and
the opportunities for establishing
business enterprises which come
from the influx of population to a
section just beginning to fill up.
Second-Thc soil is good. The few
settlers already in the country have
amply demonstrated by their farming
operations during the past season that
large yields of wheat, rye, oats, bar
ley and potatoes can be depended on.
and that remunerative crops of In
dian corn can be raised. Agriculture
is not a doubtful experiment but an
unquestioned success. For stock
raising the country affords special
advantages. the growth of the native
grasses being luXuriant and the nu-
merous buttes and hills breaking the
force of winter storms.
Third-ImmenSe quantities Of fer
tile Government land are open for
homestead claims and the railroad
land is offered at low prices and on
the very liberal terms of ten equal
annual payments. 4 settler with u
very moderate capital can exercise
his homestead and pre-emptlon rights
thus securing half section of Gov
ernnent land, and can buy the ad-
joining half section of the railroad
company and square his farm to hand
some proportions of an even mile
square. The cost of such an estate
would be only the s4O0 paid the gov
ernment for the pre-empted quarter
section and about Sl0o a year paid to
the railroad company. On section
farm settler can protitably combine
grain.growing and stock-raising.
There is no part of the United States
where section OF good land can be
had as easily and as cheaply as i'll
Western Dakota.
Fourth-The climate is not severe,
the winters being considerably milder
than in the same latitude in eastern
Dakota and Minnesota. The weather
from the middle of November to the
middle of March is cold. but the air
is dry and healthful and there are
few sudden changes of temperature.
The snowfall is not heavy and is so
dry that it blows off the slopes of the
hills SO that cattle can pick up Il liv
ing. Invigorating breezcs temper
the summer heats.
Fifth-The country is traversed by
the great continental trunk line of
the Northern Pacific. so that there is
i, direct Quite, to eastern markets tor

Taylor Correspondence.

The people of this vicinity are alive
to the advantages which would fol.
low the reduction in the price of gov.
ernment lands from $3.50 to sl.25 per
acre. A we'll attended meeting was
held here on Saturday, the 9th inst.
and permanent organization effect
ed with j. NJ. Tracey, chairman and
Geo. Patrick, secretary, the object be.
ing to keep this public land measure
before Congress until favorable ac.
tion be taken thereon. a petition to
Congress, praying for speedy pas
sage of the act to reduce the price
of government lands was numcrously
signed. at the same meeting COM
mittee was appointed to respectfully
request the Northern Pacific railroad
company to take measures towards
preventing the burning of the grass
along their line of road, by construct
ing a suitable tireguard. During the
past season thousands of acres of vail
liable pasture have been destroyed
by fire, caused by sparks from the
locomotives igniting the grass. 1t is
to be hoped that the settlers all along
the line will cooperate in this matter.
rs it is of vital Importance to us all
to prevent these annually recurring
prairie fires,
The present low prices of grain and
the high freight rates make the rails
ing of grain in this section losing
business. 1t is to he hoped that the
Northern Pacific r. r. CO., will come
to the relief of the farmers by reduc-
ing its freights, which are abnormal
ly high. This subject of high freight
rates is beginning to occupy prom
inent place in the thoughts and utter
ances of the people of the West Mis-
ouri country.
Mr.. Berry, the genial host of the
Taylor Hotel, ever mindful of the
happiness of the members of this
community, has announced his inten-
tion of giving supper and dance ut
his place on the evening of Decem-
bcr 25th, Christmas night. The sue
cess which attended former enter
lainment of this kind is a guarantee
that Mr. Berry knows how to conduct
such affairs. We hope to see the
town of Dickinson we'll represented
here the 25th. to he able to prove to
them that although Taylor is a little
place, yet is capable of doing big
things when the emergency requires
| it.

produce. Settlers need not go far
from the road to find lands that will
suit them. A number of little towns
have sprung up during the past year
OF two that afford the advantages of
stores, mechanical shops, schools and
churches. The settler is by no means
in the wilderness when he can drive
to railroad station and post office
and back in half a day.
The face of the country, we may
further explain, is rolling prairie,
diversified by many high, pyramidal
buttes, grassed nearly to the top and
crowned with caps of gray rock or
red scoria. The Heart. Knife, Green,
Sweet Briar and other small rivers
and their tributaries water the region.
There is no timber except along the
streams, but fuel for domestic pur.
poses exists in abundance in the nu.
merous veins of Ignite coal which
crop out from the sides of ravines 50
conveniently for mining that settlers
can easily provide themselves with
What they need. Spring opens in
April, and settlers will do we'll to go
early to get a choice of good claims
and put in sod crops-Northwest.
Mcthodical Seeding Of Wheat.
Professor Blount, of the Colorado
Agricultural College, states in late
paper that in 1878 he planted ~
pounds of hand picked wheat on an
exact square acre, in rows 1s inches
apart, and ut harvest threshed out
81 bushels. In 1880 he planted on 40
square rods 30 ounces of fine. selected
wheat. and the product was Is bush.
els OF nearly 72115 bushels per acre.
The same year, on IS square feet. he
planted IS kernels of extra fine seed,
weighing 45 grains, and the product
realized exactly lo15 pounds, nearly
at the rate of loo busnels per acre.
If the professor has made no mis-
take in this, it would seem that the
farmer can, IL he VIII. introduce Sucn
"reforns" into his business that his
revenue may he greatly increased
with actually less outlay. Does thin
seeding contain the secret of heavy
wheat fields! If it does, then the en-
couragement of the tillcring process
and OF cultivation necessarily gives
new vigor to the plant; consequently
the maturity of the plant is retarded,
and at the same time made better.
When thickly sown it makes few if
any tllers, and its tendency is to
ripen earlier, with shorter straw
shorter heads and fewer kernels
The greatest enemy to wheat is
wheat; it cannot bear to be crowded
