MANY house-owners in Washington
have tastefully decorated their house
fronts BY growing vines of various
kinds. The Virginia creeper, one of the
most popular plants for this purpose, is
usually selected, owing to its bright
green colors in summer and its scarlet
leaves i'll the fall. This is a harmless as
well as beautiful plant. A lack of
botanical knowledge, however, seems
TO be shown bymany citizens who have
selected the similar but very poisonous
plant known as the poison ivy for this
ornamental purpose.

viaduct Of tho Manitoba railroad company
across the Mississippi river at Minneapolis.
This work is ono Of tho triumphs of modern
engineering skill. When James ]. Hill called
for estimates BY engineers of the cost of such
astructure, he was informed by several of the
most skillful In the country that, owing to the
velocity of the current below tho falls, it could
not 10 built. But Mr.. Hill replied that the
bridge was needed, and must be built Final--
ly, Col. Smith, the chief engineer Of the Mani
toba road, submitted plans and estimates for
the work, and work was begun In 1882 under
bis personal supervision. The structure was
completed in less than two years, at cost of
$3.50, COOLIES than $1,000 from the estimate.
Mr.. Hill said TO the writer soon after the work
was inaugurated: II saw the necessity for
the viaduet, not only for the convenience OF
tho Manitoba company, but for all other com
panes whose lines run into the city, and de-
terminsd that it should be built. was moi at

We can raise rye to good advantage, which is
recognized as prime feed for hogs in the stalls.
No, there isn't any reason in Dakota farmers
buying their hog products. Every farmer can
raise enough for home consumption from the
refuse about the house and the farm, Just a.
he could cattle and chicken products. Where
these luxuries are now indulged in, they come
from wheat production at comparatively un-
profitable price. But little attention has been
given to hogs yet, but il is ono Of tho diversi-

Every ono interested In the material welfare
OF tho Territory will watch the legislative pro-
seedings Of the coming session with unusual
interest. The preponderence Of the agrculu-

to all Others, centres combined interest in

OF dislike toward every barrier that impedes
their progress. just a. tho farmer is made
the victim OF extortionate rates of tranporta

to submit to arbitrary regulations and exsc
tions that diminish the receipts of his sales, in

wlde spread conviction and general recogn-

dainty svinced by tho unanimty of sentiment
that seems to spontaneously burst forth from
every quarter Of the Territory where wheat is
raised and sold. Apparently all that was re-

the light Of open expression in this city, and
from which now comes tangible proof that the

The present low price OF Dakota's chief pro-
duct Is having tendency to ineite few nerve-
loss individuals to complain Of the country in
consequence Of the seasons labor not being az
renunerative a. anticipated. While we'll
knowing that prices are low and that w arc
paying heavy tribute to exacting monopslies,
yet brief survey of our surroundings makes
the lot of the Dakota farmer consoing and
hopeful in comparison with others. EngIsl,
farmers are bitterly complaining. Intelligent
persons sonversant with the situation, and but
recently from there, say that large tracts will
now remain uncultivatod, that few years ago
brought good rents. Grain growers in the
Eastern and Southern States, on lands that are
valuable are not receiving near the cost Of pro-

Wheat at the present price in Dakota may with
many farmers, no moro than cover its actual
cost. But contrasting the position Of the farm
or here with his ce-laborer in older sections Of
tho country, and comparing prices, we must
not ignore the great difference in labor and
expense between growing an acre hero and in

ures, leaves them at IS cents or 81 per bushol,
no better paid than our farmers are at the
price now ruling. The limited means that the
majority Of Dakota farmers begin with would
dsbar them from farming on their own occount
unless as renters, in almost any other place.
But here they have homes that are their own
and an abundance Of all the actual necessities
of life, in the way Of food for themselves and
food for their stock. In the natural order Of
things, the unprecedented figures Of the pres
ent will the sooner result in reaction, and
with the most fertile soil under the sun, and
nothing but fair cultivation required for con-
tInuous crops, the future is hopeful. And we
are not quite certain, but il the present de-
pressed price diverts Dakota farmers to stock
raiEng and dairying, along with grain grow
ing, what we complain Of now may after all
prove blessing in disguise. We must expect
ssme failures, especially where men rushed
psl-mel, without practical knowledge, into
wheat raising. Some went rschsssly into
debt others had acquired habits in other call
ings too luxurious for beginners on farm,
and there are always some who would be hard
up if wheat were S. per bushel. The wedding
