sees land for the landless, a home for the
homeless, and expects to secure for him
self and family their bread, meat, butter,
milk, eggs, vegetables, fruit and clothing,
The trouble with our settlement here has
been more in the homesteader trying to, or
wishing he could travel at the same pace
as the wealthy speculative farmer.
Then again, during the part two or three
years we have had double trouble"-very
low prices and very poor crops. Let this
cOHe upon any country and you will hear
complaint from all classes-those engaged
IN farming as a pastime. a side deal or q
livelihood: also those who live by furnish
ing the producer.
I have not changed my mind in regard
to the city Of Bismarck or the country sur
rounding. I believe that our people will
adapt themselves to the sltuatiOn-tO its
changes-and that out of this trying ordeal
will come a better understanding of how to
do and what to do and when to do, on the
farm. l have never lived IN a more healthy
climate; have never lived where l had bet
ter, purer air, better grain, better meat, bet
ter vegetables, more clear and pleasant days
or nights, than right here on the Missouri
river slope at Antelope Park. l firmly be-
!leve we will have good homes and good
living on the farm for the industrious home
farm for speculation it don't matter. The
lay OF the bonanza farmer is past and I'm
glad of it: 1t will give the small farmer a
better field.
What! do you intend to publish all we
have been talking about this afternoon ?
Why man, l don't want to advise or bother
anyone. l don't want to sell u or leave.
If did anything l would buy while almost
everything is at the bottom. l could start
IN now at lower prices than when l came
in 1882.
Thanking Mrs. Lawrence for two big
pieces of pie, two glasses of milk and her
pleasant reception coupled with an invita-
ton to come again, your special bid them
good bye. ~

I'll 1851 only ten acres was under cultiva-
tion-in a garden. Two years of that time
it was cultivated by an experienced gard
ner, Samuel English, whom early SET
tiers will remember as having brought in
very fine vegetables and as having dis
posed of them at fabulous prices. Sam
went west. Mr.. Quinlan then opened up
his quarter and began grain farming. He
has had several good crops and received
good prices, two large crops that brought
low prices and two poor crops-and one
full failure. He has in this year ninety
acres of wheat, forty of oats, eight of corn,
eight of millet and i've of potatoes and
vegetables. He attends to the farm per.
sonally, having n hired man.
II think the trouble has been that all the
early farmers have been living too high
when they got a good yield and big prices,
and when it came down to living like far
mers have to the world over they became
disappointed. Still we must all admit that
the two last years have been scorchers.
When we were all making money habits
were contracted that the tight times would
not justify. We all have got to begin over
again and build up from the bottom. / an
ticipate q good crop this year. The next
thought is about the price. I hope that
the crop indications will not lead to ex-
travagance or tempt our farmers to on
tract debts. We must "go slower and
learn to peddle."
MIR. Quinlan has served our county as
commissioner and in all his life here his
record is clean. and his word and note
good. He is interchangeable" yet, by the
way, and a mighty good "catch" he would
make.
JOHN BOYLE.
John Boyle, the grocer, came to Bis
marck in 1872. He secured the southwest
quarter of section 2-19O-8O, east of the peni-
tertiary. He begun work on a small
patch of potatoes first; did not know that
grain would grow here-no one did. 1t
had not been tried. "Along in 1880 I
branched out and since that time have
seeded most of the quarter. 1 have lost
but one crop-the year that frost cut the
wheat crop throughout the state. I raised
1900 bushels on one hundred acres and
sold 300 bushels for $1,000 and saved seed
for the next year. l also had oats for two
years and have some left yet, raised at that
time. Two crops / got even on by holding
for better price,. This year l have in one
hundred acres Of wheat, fifteen of oats and
two of potatoes. l have lived in New
York, Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota before
l came here; have seen failures elsewhere
and expect to see prices 60 up and down,
and the same with the yield. l hope we
will get a crop this year; it Will help the
boys out. A great many are in debt and
they need'good crops and great saving to
get even again. 1 think this is a good
place to live and am not thinking of chang

thick and of extra growth.
