DAKOTA STOCK ALL RIGHT

T. F. Marshall recently received a
letter fross tie Breeders Gazette a
portion df which was as follows:
Dear Sir; The los lambs and 276
hogs that you recently sold on the
Chicago market must have been very
superior lots to have brought S4.3i.
and S3,22aa respectivel y, and this be-
ing the case we beg to solicit from
you full statement as to their
breeding, ages, weights at different
periods, gains, and any particulars
concerning their management that
would likely be of interest to the
farming community. We should
particularly like to know just how
they were fed and handled, kind of
feed stuffs used and as to length of
time on full feed. If you are SO dis
posed we should also be glad to
have you state whether Or not they
made YOU a profit and if so how
much7"
Mr.. Marshall states that the lambs
referred to were some which he
bought Of G. NJ Baker of Ludden
and that they never had a mcuthful
of grain but were fattened entirely
on our natural grasses. 1t certainly
speaks volumes for Dakota as a
sheep country when grass fattened
lambs will command the highest
price on the I (hicago market. The
bogs were some which he had bought
from different parties and had been
fattened on barley.

fury on Thursday and Friday of
last week spent it's fury and came to
an end Friday night. Saturday was
clear but very cold and the tempera-
ture remained SO until this Thursday
morning when the mercury reached
Is above. Prior to yesterday it
ranged from % below in the morn
ing to zero zero in the warmest
part of the day. The stock
throughout the country and
many of the citizens sutfere | severe.
ly as no one was prepared for such
severe weather.
The snow is piled in immense
drifts about every building and hay
stack in the country making the
work Of the farmers who have stock
to care for very hard.
No trains reached this place either
Thursday or Friday nights, but by
Saturday night the old reliable
North Western pulled through pre-
ceded by a snow plow. This road
has been running trains on time
since then. No train arrived over
the 500 until last Tuesday, when ii
rotary was sent through from. Hank
inson to Kuhn. Nothing but ro-
tary could have opened this line
as some of the drifts were 10 ft. deep
and half mile long. The North
ern Pacific is the slowest OF all in
reaching us, No tram has yet put in
appearance although one has been
promised every day for some lime
past. The towns wh ch are depend
ent on this road alone are suffering
severely, as most Of them are out OF
fuel aud in some, provisions are be-
coming scarce. The past week l.,
one which will long be remembered

THE DEAF MUTE BALI.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
An article appeared in your columns
fthe 4th inst. entitled mo Such Socie-
ty'' by Julius l.. Reiger, which is so
erroneous in several of his statements
that / have thought it fit to set the
matter in it's true colors before the
public.
The article treats of the ball to be
given by the deaf mutes of New Haven
at Warner hall Tuesday evening, April
T. Mr.. Reiger makes this statement:
THE alleged society turns out to be
one or two irresponsible chaps. tran
sients in town, who have acted upon
this sympathetic dodge to hoodwink
and fleece the gullible for the sole
benefit of their own sweet selves.
The truth is that the ball is not in
the hands of lone or two irresponsible
chaps" but is managed by a commit
tee of arrangements composed of the
following deaf mutes: Messrs. Baxter,
Taplin, Ward and Mackerille. and of
the speaking members, Messrs. Lieut..
Arthur Smith, Read, Daniels and
Schmidt.
The object of the ball is to secure a
fund whereby they may be able to de-
fray the expenses of lecturers who will
come here from time to time to lecture
in the sign language.
