Corn and Pork.

1t has been found from carefully conduct
ed experiments by different persons, that
one bushel of corn viii make little over
104 pounds of pork, gross. Taking the re-
suit as basis, the following deductions are
made. When corn is worth 12I cents per
bushel, pork viii cost the producer l Il cents
per pound. When corn is worth II cents
per bushel, pork viii cost the producer 2
cents per pound. Wen corn is worth 25
cents per bushel, pork costs the producer 21l
cents per pound. When corn is worth "a
cents per bushel, pork will cost the producer
cents per pound. When corn is worth so
cents per bushel, pork viii cost the producer
5 cents per pound. The above statements
show what the farmer realizes on his own
corn when in the form of pork, and they
also demonstrate the fact that there is money
in corn at % cents per bushel. when fed to
hogs at 8 cents per pound.

south, extending from the western boundary
of Lake county to and beyond the Jim river.
Last autumn, the eastern portion of the coun-
| ty having become the more rapidly settled by
reason of its railway facilities, its residents
were numerous enough to bring the county
! seat, by vote, to the east side. This resulted
I in division of the territory into two coun-
ties by act of the legislature, the eastern por-
ton retaining the original name, Miner, and
constituting a section of the choicest farm
land in Dakota, twenty-four miles from east to
west and the same from north to south. 1t has
| become common and accepted proposition
that. mo matter what is planted in Miner
county soil, il grows One instance in
point will serve to ILLUSTRATED On the gath of
August a farmer Of that county brought 10
the Lake County mills the first new wheat of
the season, which yielded thirty bushels and
one peck per acre, testing 81 pounds to the
measured bushel-and his crop is no excep-
ton to those of neighbors surrounding. Corn,
oats barley, flax and buckwheat are not one
whit behind in point of proportionate yield.
The county is not without its waterforces
and supply, and is one of the best watered
counties in the northwest. It is noticeable
that the stock farms of Miner county, already
opened and in successful operation, are only
rivalcd by those of the neighboring county
Of Lake throughout the territory, and as be-
tween the two neither can, in point of fact,
claim an advantage not also possessed in
common by the other.

WHIT 1. ne Unson For

The building of a metropolis such as is
st. Paul with its broad avenues, its splendid
buildings, its refined society, its educational,
rural and art institutions, and IFS thousand
other attractions, is due chiefly to the Iber-
atty and culture Of the business men from
whom is obtained the money to carry to
completion all material improvements It
Is true that many professional
men give literally to aid great
works, but it viii be found, if traced back
sufficiently. that this money was earned By
them, directly or indirectly. from the business
men. If we think of The wares of the mer-
chants, and also of the productive and com
mercial agencies employed 10 place them at

grant that the shops of q great city are among
the most suggestive subjects for reflection

The first thing sought after here in the way
of land claims are trse claims, of which the
government allows one out of every section
OF land. As result, in short space of
time We shall have ten acres Of timber grow
ing on every section of land in Dakota. Add
10 these the shade and lawn trees, and fruit
orchards that will be set about the farm
houses, and this now hmitless prairie will
then present the hsudsomest landscape views
that mortal eye ever rested upon. The soil
of Dakota pratries grows nearly all varieties
Of forest trees with astonishing rapidity. Soft
maple, cottonwood, ash, Lombariy poplar,
English or stake willow, aud the like all do
Splendidly on this prairie soil, and five years
from setting are large enough for fuel aud
many useful purposes. This has been thor
oughly proven through Minnesota and the
southern part of Dakota, as every observing
traveller can testify.

prominent character
The Jobbers' Union has been formed to
protect the interests of the trade of the north
west in every way; it is intended to be OF
mutual advantage to the iobbers of the me-
tropolis and the country distributors of goods.
st. Paul is the natural point for the
merchants of the northwest to procure their
goods, and the jobbers at this metropolis are
rs much interested in protecting their neigh
bors and friends of the tributary country as
they are in protecting themselves. They are
the stewards of the smaller dealers, and il
they are not capable of fully attending to the
wants of the northwest they want to know
why. They make every customer throughout
this rich domain honorary members of their
Union, and share with them the benefits that
may accrue. The motto, 'In Union is
strength applies forcibly to this organiza-
ton.
The object of these excursions is to allow
the jobbers to become personally acquainted
with the character and resources of the coun-
try they supply, and to meet at their own
homes the men with whom they have deal
ings. 1t is hoped that the visits may prove
mutually pleasant and profitable, and thai
they may cement the close relations already
existing between the city and the country
| merchants.

The HIM GrOn.

We hear great deal about the big corn
and grain and vegetables of Dakota, but the
grass crop is not receiving the notice which it
merits. The prairie all over is covered with
a luxuriant growth of grass, superior for
grazing and hay to any of the tame grasses
which are grown east. A heavy cut OF hay
may be taken from any place in the whole
country, and it has fattening properties
equal to the common grasses of other sec
tons with grain added. If the grass of Da-
kota could be turned into beef it would sup
ply the markets Of the world for the next
twelve months. This crop is as good as gold,
and the day is not far distant when not a
single speer will be allowed to go to waste

Next to the Grocery business this is the
heaviest in st. Paul and last year the sales
amounted to the enormous sum of nearly
SIC, 100000, and from present indications
this amount will he increased fully twenty
per cent. There is no city of its size in the
world that has larger or more substantial
wholesale Dry Goods houses than st. Paul

ture and wealth, and the monotonous expanse
of prairie will be broken at every point by the
vari-colored verdure of waving crops of ce-
reals. The fact is a pronounced one that of
the eleven hundred thousand acres in Brown
county there are not three sections all told of
waste land, save such as is by the few beau
tiful lakes and streams of sparkling waters.
We wish to call especial attention right
here to the fact that all of this immense tract
is government land, pure-for the settler,
for homestead, presumption and timber cul-
ture entry-that although this portion of the
valley is gridironed with railway lines, there
are neither railroad grants nor will there
ever be any railroad bonds to Cypress the

THE COUNTY SEAT OF MOODY COUNTY.
The first settlement of what is now Elan
dreau, was made by Mr.. f. W. Pettigrew
about ten years ago. The village is situated
on the banks of the Big Sioux river, which
affords one of the very finest water-powers in
southeastern Dakota, and presents magni-
ficent opening for the establishment of pro-
ductive manufacturing enterprises
There are five churches; Methodist, Pres
byterian, Catholic, and two Indian. An ex-
cellent graded school is established here.
The streets are well laid out. Sidewalks are
built all over the village. 1t has excellent
hotels, street lamps, and presents the ap-
pearance of an eastern village. Society is as
good as can be found in any place in the
east. The citizens are of an enterprising
and generous class.
&he following figures give some idea OF
the business transacted during the year 1883
One hundred and thirty thousand bushels
of wheat were marketed at this point.
There were also marketed IL, 600 bushels of
oats, 1850 bushels of barley, and 10000
bushels of flax.
The banks have sold eastern drafts to the
business men during the last year, to the
amount of $40, 600.

those of Schmidt & Co. are CLOSELY ssti-
mated at $4,000; insurance, $1,000.
The names of the companies are not yet
