THE CHANCES IN THE DA-
KOTAS.

We are in receipt of inquiries from
the east by young men who wish to
know just what chances the Dakotas
offer for young man to make his way
in the world. 1t will do no harm to
state the exact truth about this coun-
try, which is not always done in the
literature of the land boomers and the
railway companies. The eastern part
of both these states Is good agricultur-
al land, fine SOIL productive of good
crops of all the cereals and grasses
common to the northern latitude. Bor-
dering these agricultural lands on the
west lies a strip of territory running to
the Missouri river, where a deficient
rainfall makes the growing of farm
crops more or less risky business;
beyond the Missouri it is too dry to
try to run a farm in the ordinary way.
Throughout the whole of this scantily
watered region where lands are cheap
the growing of stock can be made an
exceedingly profitable business, for,
feeding and care of the stock in the
winter, in time of deep SHOWS and
storms, it is still the rule that the
snowfall is very light and that stock
will secure a good part of their living
from the nutritious native grasses even
in the coolest weather. We regard this
part of the Dakotas as the ideal sheep
country of America, and believe that
if a young man is willing to rough it,
and knows how to properly care for
his flock, he can make himself indie
pendent in a few years with a flock of
sheep. What is true of sheep is also
true of cattle; the range is large and
the grass very nutritious and stock of
all kinds is remarkably free from dis
ease. The arabic part of the Dakotas
is Just as fine as the lands of Minnesota
and Iowa, which they join, and while
now to be bought at from SIS to S25
per acre. are sure to advance in price
in the near future to $40 and $50 per
acre. In the stock belt lands are much
cheaper. Hundreds of young and in
dustrious men are making money
there, and there is plenty of room for
more In many respects it would be
better for 4 man to remain single if he
went into the stock business as it is a
pretty lonesome country for an educat-
ed and refined woman. 1t is indispen-
sable, if the stock business is gone into,
to look after proper water supply
and have a small cash capital with
which to stock up The safest thing to
do is for the young man to go there
and work year or so for some stock
man and get the run of the business
and the lay of the land before invest
ing his money. There is plenty of
money there for the men who know
how to manage right.

THE NOS pnIsnNrn

Nearly every community suffers soon
er or later from the work Of this fell
low, and his work is universally CON
demned, while the culprit himself Is
rarely ever identified. Inasmuch as
all mean things have some sort of an
excuse for an existence, it is of interest
to find out why the dog poisoner is
everywhere found. We do not need TO
look very long or very far. We will
pass the serious phase of the dog ques-
ton as manifested in occasional hydro
phobia or the biting and manning Of
persons and class the dog as any other
domestic animal allowed to run at
large. In a general way he is an Of
Tense to common decency and an I'M
mitigated nuisance. We saw grocer
not long since put on his delivery wag-
on basket Of potatoes which he had
set down for short time In front of
his store. The dogs had passed by,
and the family which used those pota-
toes ate them happy in their ignorance.
The yagrant pup which tears up your
tlowerbeds, kills your hens and robs
you of sleep while he bowls at the
moon; the snarly pug which snaps at
your heels when you so to call on your
friend and other still worse traits of
dog life which cannot be referred to
here beget the dog poisoner. 1t is
some man who has become desperate
and is bound to rid himself of the nui-
sance and relieve the community. He
might of course start out and shoot
the trespassers, but what man could
live in a town or community should he
do business In this honorable and
above board way? So he tries the
I lrgia plan and kills lot of respect
able CANNES while he ribs the town Of
a lot of worthless ones. 1t may be de-
pended upon that there will always be
dog prisoners just as long as there are
dogs

DIED POOR.

He died and was buried last week.
He went at 60 and had a big funeral.
He had always been a farmer and
commenced life as a hired hand on an
Indiana farm without a cent. He re-
solved to accumulate money at all haz-
ards and early schooled himself to self
denying, economical habits, which gave
him a good start by the time he was
35. He was shrewd enough to see the
possibilities connected with cheap west
ern lands and added acre to acre, so
that the probate court will have some
LOO acres to divide among his heirs.
His wife died when he was 80, vic
tim to his insatiate greed for land His
boys would not stay with him, and his
daughters married and left the old
home without single regret. His
home was never anything more than
Just a place to eat and sleep in. Find
ing himself left alone, he married a
smart, scheming widow who kept
house for him during his last few years
of life. The smart widow gets one
third of the estate, and the children
get at iuSl part u Will luey uelpeu
him to accumulate. While the neigh
bors all turned out to the funeral, it
was noticeable that no comment was
made on this mans life save that he
had got lot of land and made a pile
of money. The parson had a tough job
to preach the funeral sermon. He pro-
vided in his will that q monument to
cost $1,000 should be erected over his
grave, just as though anybody who had
known him while he lived would ever
forget him. The widow wore a whole
lot of Grape and made a great deal of
FUSS but, so far as one could"see, no
body shed single tear of regret that
he was gone, The local paper gave
him as good a send off as it could and
used the whitewash brush literally
said that he was good and industri-
Gus man and had accumulated lot Of
land and money. You knew him, did
you? Well, do not go and be a fool
like him, for his life, measured by a
true standard, was a most miserable
failurp

The good living which most Amerl
cans enjoy will not improve them phys
ically. On the contrary, it may be said
that the liberal bill of fare provided
for them will have a deteriorating eff
feet. The average American eats too
much rich food and is either bilious,
dyspeptic or nervous and victim of
the patent medicine habit. In Ireland
and Scotland a fine race of men have
been bred raised on praties, oatmeal
and bonnyclabber, with cake, pie and
meats as unattainable luXuries. What
sort of people can you raise on ration
of meat and hot biscuits three times a
day, with unlimited cake and pie, save
a race of bilious, surfeited, physical
imbeciles? Reform your bill of fare,
use more oatmeal, milk, vegetables,
fruit and brown bread, get rid of the
frying pan and the baking powder can
and sleep with the bedroom window

Here and there we come across some
township which has done away with
the Old road district system and is now
operating its highway machinery with
tire township, and we just wish to note
the fact that wherever this reform has
been introduced 1t gives entire satisfac-
ton and secures better and more
economical highway service than ever
was possible under the old system.

A very pleasing Improvement is no.
ticeable in the efforts being made to
decorate the depot grounds along the
lines of railways through the west,
1t is a pleasure when the train pulls
bit of well kept lawn and some nice
flowers instead of the pile of empty
beer kegs, the little fool girl who meets
the trains, the chronic depot loafer
and a rackety old bus or two.

THE BEST BERRY.

These are the strawberry days
days when the wise man and the far
seeing one can go out into his garden
and pick a six quart pan heaping full
of the best fruit in the world. The
human race meets more tremendously
on the strawberry than on any other
thing. 1t is almost impossible to diff
fer as to its merits. We have always
felt grateful that strawberries do not
grow on the tops of tall trees like CO.
coanuts or in Dogs like cranberries or
underground like sweet potatoes, and
that they do not have to be nursed like
some dollhouse plant or have off years
in frulting like apples. but with the
coming of the June days just bloom
and blush In their tangle of greenery,
every berry bearing eloquent testi-
mony to the kind intentions of the
Creator. True, some folks are salts
fed with two boxes of mushed and
sandy berries for a quarter, but these
do not live up to their opportunities.
There is no set and proper way to eat
the strawberry. With cream and sug-
ar or without them, it is all right, and
much satisfaction may be obtained by
simply lying down by the side of the
strawberry bed and just filling up.
WIN you plant bed next year?

be mass of royal tropical foliage, and
