Steck-raising, it is good to notice, is
receiving proper attention at the hands of
Emmons County farmers. The increase
is perfectly surprising, while in the mat
ter of sheep the result is no less astonish-
ing. VIM. McCrory, Donald Stevenson,
Badger Il Lilly, Isaiah Wescott, John
Mellandcr. Jacob Hauser and Louis Agard
as cattle-raisers, and Peter Shire, w. A.
Harmon, G. W. East, McCrory s. Childs
and Campbell & Son as wool growers.
have done much to give Emmons County
quite reputation as stock country.
Their ranches extend along the Missouri
river principally. AS one of the evi-
dences of the advance made in utilizing
the product of mich cows, and in addi-
ton to the large quantity of butter made
on farms, Peter Shire and D. G. Kennedy
have established factories in which, on
an outfit investment OF $4,637, they
turned out last year nearly SIS, 900 worth
of butter, and paid out 81 $50 in hired
labor in its manufacture. 1t is such man
ifestations of growth as Emmons County
makes that give Dakota the enviable
reputation it justly enjoys of being the
paradise of farmers and of herdsmen 1t
is also safe to predict great future for
Emmons.

A Beautiful Work of Art.

known art publishers, a magnificent full.
length steel engraving Of General Grant.
1t is after Anderson's celebrated photo
graph, which was made while the Gen.
eral was still in full vigor and represents
him in his sturdy, manly strength, as the
people wish to remember him. 1t is, un.
doubtedly, the best portrait ever made of
the General Messrs. Stinson s. Co. are

popular, new publications, and offer in.

When to Water Horses.

An agricultural exchange says that the
best time to water horse is an hour be-
fore or an hour and half after eating.
If, watered Immediately before eating, the
temperature OF the stomach is lowered
beyond the digestive point, and the food
is not acted upon until the temperature
gets back TO where it ought to be. Sup.
pose his master takes him to the watering
trough immediately after eating, when
his stomach is full of food, and he drinks
a pailful or two pallfuls Of water. The
consequence is that u portion of the food
is forced out of the stomach and is swept
along into the larger intestines without
assimilation. In France, several years
ago, some horses that were to be killed
were fed coarse beans, and Immediately
after they were allowdcd to drink all the
water they wanted They were then
killed and dissected, and some of these
beans were found twenty.six inches dis
tant from the stomach itself, in tue intes-
tines

The Jail.

A couple of days ago the scribe went
out to look at the work on the new iail,
the walls of which are rapidly approach
ing completion. The home sandstone,
which has been used for the first time, is
fulfilling every expectation. Even where
it was slightly soft at first, few days
exposure to the air renders it as hard, ap-
parently, as granite. Mr.. John Dixon, in
Charge Of the work, informs us that he
has seen no stone native to the North
west~-cven atSt. Paul and Minneapolis
which equals for building purposes the
material found near Williamsport,

What is the population of Williams
port?
Owing to the lack of railroads, there is
as yet no postoffice IN the county which
has outgrown village proportions.
What is the population of Emmons
County,
BY the last census (June, 1850 it was
1,O46.
What is the quality Of soil?
There is no better land in Dakota.
What is the quality of water7
Almost universally good. A few wells,
when first used, furnished water having a
slightly suphurous taste. but this flavor
was not permanent. There are no wells
tainted with alkall around Williamsport,
and we know of none in the county.
Have you plenty Of timber7
There is plenty of timber on the Mis-
souri,, fifteen miles from Williamsport
there is ash and oak wood for fuel pur-
poses in the coulees (ravines)a a few miles
from town, and Ignite coal cropping out
all through the county. Owing to new
ness of settlement, our people having
so much other work to do IN consequence,
and free wood being obtainable, no min
ing has yet been done. Our farmers
hauling grain to Bismarck frequently
bring back Ignite, boughtat s.. so per ton.
They consider it cheaper, at this price,
than cutting and hauling wood.
Have you building.stonc?
Unlimited quantities. The new EN-
mons County Jail, now being built at
Williamsport, is of stone procured short
distance from town.
Have you coal2
Answered above.
What is the lay Of the land7
Part grazing, but the most of it suitable
for farming. Williamsport is in the CEN
ter of a large area of almost level land,
with deep soil, Which has raised splendid
crops during the two years it has been
cultivated.
How deep are the wells2
From 20 to 80 feet.
Have you railroad or the prospect of
one, and from what point?
No railroads at present But, as this
county ia near to and southeast of Bis
marck, all railroads from that direction
to the Capital must pass through our
borders The Chicago, Milwaukee g. St.
Paul Railway will undoubtedly build this
way next season.
Have you good schoolsy
There are four frame schoolhouses
Costing from $1,000 to S1,500) within a
radius of six miles from Wiiliamsport.
Is there much immigration to your
county now7
A good, healthful tide but no boom,
so far. In 1880 there We're but thirty eight
people In the county; in June of this
year there were 1,046.

FOSG'S FERRY.

The audience at the Opera House yester-
day afternoon WAS of more than average size
FOR matinee performance and those present
received a real treat in the bright and pretty
"Fogg's Ferry" as presented by the Lizzie
Evans Comedy company.
The piece is u light comedy but it offers
rare possibilities for coy and cunning acting
and rollicking and dashing manners as well
as for AN effective vein of emotion.
LIZZIE Evans, as "Chip," is the bright star
# the cast, though the balance of the char
acters are well sustained by better than the
average talent.
The star does not posses really pleasant
voice nor is her laughing or weeping free
from suggestions of the stage, yet she is
bright, cute and winning to an eminent de-
gree and cnlists the sympathy and commands
the enthusiasm of he- auditors.
The steamboat scene was realistic to a high
degree and made a pretty and inviting pic
ture, Will "Still Biz convulsed the audience
with his drolery and lis song o. My Moth

The piece was highly enjoyed and Was
doubtless one of the best of the season.
