About Stock Raising.

About Stock Raising.
OTTAWA. N. D., Feb. /, 1892.
To THE GR1GGs CoUR1ER!(or old pard.)
We don't here much from
this part of the county still we live and
are happy lot of farmers, all on &C.
count of the crop of 1891. Yield of
wheat from 25 to ~ bushels per acre;
rye 40 bushels; barley SO to 60 bushels
per acre; oats 40 to 80 bushels, and the
outlook for 1902 promises at present to
be fully as good. Other branches of
farming are prospecting fully as we'll
which l think is going to .be of great
value to our county, that is, stock rails
ing, which is not thought enough of at
present, still we are getting there.
About eleven months ago, rented q
half section farm to John Elson and
son for six years, I to furnish him 200
eve sheep and 80 milch cows. The
cows were all MIXED last summer and
the cream sold to the Cooperstown
creamery and brought US $500 and we
have 80 calves which are worth at least
$3.50, about as much rs tho COWS valued
year ago, and the Elson's family are
pleased with the result as they have al.
ready taken more cattle. They have
now over 100 head horned cattle to win
ter. The sheep annual increase l think
is safe to say will double annually.
The Elson family alone have put up
hay and cared for same with the excep.
ton they had one man ten days haying
and besides this they raised over 1000
bushels Of grain. Here on the Ottawa
farm we have wintered 4S horses and
colts, A sheep and a couple of dozen
horned cattle. Hammer & Con-
dy are wintering about 500 head of
sheep, horned cattle and horses, l don't
know tho number; Ellef Olson family
have about seventy-five head of cattle
and over 20 head horses; the Miller
family in Up. 1855 50 head of cattle
and several horses. Nest of the neig-
boris stock runs from rs to 100 head of
cattle. You may think this part is a
little slow but we are coming along TOO.
The next what to do with our stock so
as to get them into cash and lots of it.
Well we are going to raise feed and
give it to them, barley, rye and other
feed and feed them, make our year

This morning an unusual sight was
seen on Brenhams streets. It was a
horse1nan gayly decorated with ribbons
Of every hue of the rainbow. These rib
bons were hung in clusters and festoons
all over the rider and horse. The horses
ears and forehead were covered with q
sort Of cap in which were stuck feathers
of bright colors, surrounded with rosettes
and knots Of ribbons.
The rider was Fritz Wiesepappe, and
questions about his startling decorations

Things I Can't Answer.


Why forty minutes Is SO much longer
to the man listening to a sermon than
to the one playing a game of fiddle.
Why some men will neglect their fam
illes and feed their neighbors pigs
Perhaps it is because the pigs are
blind.
Why man is not just as strong and
fearless after he is elected to Office rs
when he was candidate.
Why minister only asks tue atten.
ton of his audience for shert time
when he intends to talk fortY-tive min
utes.
Why it takes from one to four quarts
OF whiskey to cure cold when it used
to be done with dose of blue mass or
castor oil.
Why blind man must stand upon
the street and beg for y trifle while a
blind pig is sought out and literally
patronized.
Why the railroad company are SO
poor they have to cut the pay of all
their employees when freight is so high
that our merchants have to sell their
wares two hundred per cent above
eastern prices.
Why man with common sized neck
needs u collar box twenty inches in

Why most men arc sure the country
is misgoverned because they don't gov

A Re1lli1liscensc.

On the Fourth day of February, 1861,
Ythe first so-called Confederate congress
assembled ut Montgomery, Alabama.
Thirty one years ago! 1t is not long
time to those of us who were in the war
and yet Il generation of active, hustling
energetic business men have grown up
since, and are making history in the de.
velopments possible in time of peace
fully as great a history as their father
made in 1S8l.65. The tremendous
events of that time, when rs great
armies rs any the Old World ever saw,
were marshalled against each other on
American soil, are fast becoming rem.
inescences, and so many they are like a
tale that is told-thsy seem almost un-
real. The Americans of the younger
generation, to realizs what that strug.
gle was, should visit some of tho South
ern battle fields in their pleasure tours,
and this can be easily and cheaply done
by taking advantage of the winter ex-
curtion rates offered by the Burlington,
which with direct lines of its linos of it's
own to both Chicago aud St. Louis, is
the favorlte Of southbcund travellers.

little too popular. The demand for them is
growing so rapidly that the publishers, A.

ttaat the American ladies are now buying their
Journals to such an extent that most OF the

fifth OF the month. As all the plates are
made in Paris by the best artists. the pub
fishers claim that il requires considerable
time to csaeh up with such an increased de-
mand. We agree with our lady friends that
these are superior fashion Journals. We sug-
gest to them to become regular subscribers,
