on rainy or ''bad days" the neigh

or, if in winter, there would be sleigh
load of people to drop in and spend the
long winter evenings, consisting of all
ages and sizes, to say nothing of the
various nationalities in the gatherings.
There was no concerted plan of move
ment in these gatherings, but some one
of them wanted to goOr come, and the
team was stopped at other doors to see
if any one wanted togo along. and so on
until the sleigh-box could hold no more,
often the men walking to give room to
some other neighbours family to join
them in their evening visit and have a
good time.
must beg the editors indulgence for
the length of this article, my only plea
is the subject which has been so often
treated apparently, to me, in sneering
way by some of those who discuss the
subject, or write about it. Let them
come down from high flying words and
learn the home life of the whole farm
ing community, and not take one or
two samples to judge the rest by, and
then wander away from the entire sub

that could teach some of these high
flying writers more than they know
now. Mrs. MARTHA CRANDALI.

People Were Out of Doors Yes
terday Enjoying the Beautiful
Weather.
The mild south wind that prevailed
yesterday brought the first fragrant
breath of summer. 1t acted upon the
people like magic and brought them to
the streets in droves. The parks looked
clean, cool, inviting, and were filed
with pretty nurse girls and happy chill
dren. The clean benches in shady
spots were likewise loafers' paradise,
the workingman's treat and haven for
the social walking delegate and his fair
companion. One had great epportu-
nifty to study summer fashions, for they
were seen in all directions. Sum
init avenue was equivalent to
park and was crowded. all
day long. With the large shade
trees and beautiful residences, it gave a
splendid idea of the great beauty of st.
Paul. The bridges were crowded, and
many pleasant thought flowed onward
with the old Mississippi. Many private
conveyances were out, and quite early
in the day it was almost impossible to
secure one at livery stable. The
GLOBE tower and other points of
elevation were besieged with hundreds
of people anxious to see st. Paul and
the surrounding country almost in full
bloom. Children rOmped and played on
cool, refreshing lawns in every portion
of the city, and the base ball fiendS got
in their deadly work wherever there
was vacant lot. 1t was an ideal day,
just enough wind to make it pleasant,
not enough to raise the dust.

The Growing Wheat.

The May report of the government
agricultural department does not give
much encouragement for winter wheat.
The figures of April fall from 81 to 10.
The report says:
As compared with May, 1885, the prin-
cipal states returning a lower percent
age this year are New York, Ohio, Mich
igan and Indiana. Condition was much
worse in 1885 in Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Missouri and Kansas, and in the South
generally. The early sown wheat made
the best appearance in spring Much of
the late sown had insufficient root de-
velopment and deficient vitality, and
succumb the more easily to the effects
of freezing and thawing. The covering
Of snow was wanting most of the winter
over much the larger portion of the
area. The mid-winter storms, followed
by freezing, left in low places blanket
of ice, which proved a paralysis rather
than protection. On level lands the pro-
vision of surface drainage saved the
crop in many instances, while the lack
of it was the most serious disability of
the plant in large areas. 1t is said by
correspondents, not only in the central
wheat regions of the higher ATTITUDES,
but in Texas as well, that wheat was
vigorous in well-drained fields.

me FaVOraDie Experience Of the
President Of the Horticultural

President De Bell, of the Dakota
Horticultural society, in an article in

fruit in the territory, has this encour-
aging statement:
Facts can always conquer SUPPOSE
tl0ns.and theories, and the day is not far
distant when our fair territority will
to produce not only the finest grains,
vegetables and stock, but that
she will be able to at least supply the
wants of her own people with all
those fruits that can be grown
in corresponding ATTITUDES to the east of
us. We have been personally engaged
in the growing of fruit in Dakota for
fourteen years, and what we say in re-
gard to her capabilities as a fruit-pro-
ducing country is founded on the fact,
there is no section that can boast
of a soil better adapted to growing
fruit, and the great amount of sun
shine with which we are favored, i'm
parts to our fruits flavor and color that
cannot be excelled. Strawberries. rasp-
berries, currants, goOSeberries, grapes,
piums and few of the harder varie-
ties of apples and crabs are already pro-
duced throughout the southern
and older settled portions by the
hundreds of bushels, and many of
our towns are supplied during their
season with home grown fruits. Our
list of varieties of apples is limited to
few of the hardest, as yet, but by
the growing of seedlings and the in
PRODUCTION of varieties from the steppes
of Russia our list is being augmented,
and that we shall soon be able to
name good list of varieties of this
king of fruits that shall be successfully
grown in all parts of our territory does
not admit of a question of doubt. Fail
ures in the attempt to grow these diff
ferent varieties of fruit may be attrib-
uted to the purchasing of worthless
plants, and trees, unsuitable varieties,
and want of knowledge as to their
proper care, in any climate. BY means
of the Dakota Horticultural society, and
the experimental stations, there is to be
distributed information in regard to the
culture of trees, and fruits, that shall
result iii much better understanding
of these subjects, and we shall be able
to point with pride to fruit culture as
one of the industries of our great terri
