R. Rowland. Sr., returned from
Adams county, Iowa, a !
few days ago, where he spent the win
ter with his children. He reports
times very hard there farm work hard
ly commenced and mud nearly two

than our nutritious prairie grasses.
Mr.. Y. also has nice bunch of cattle
and contemplates going INTO sheep by
