herited the townsite of Concord, Dakota
territory, the county seat, arrives at that
place He visits Col. keever publisher of
the Blizzard and manager of the townsite
company, and learns oil plan of people of
Harmony, neighboring town, TO wrest
county seat from Concord at coming cleo
tion, leaving his land valueless, and he
agrees to secretly attend a meeting at Har-
mony to discover their plans. Animosity
between PEI pie of two towns is very bitter

CHAPTER vi.

Col. Keever was tremendously
wrought up. He was pacing the re-
stricted limits of his office and toss
ing his arms and talking to himself,
SO wrathfully oblivious of his sur
roundings that he did not notice the
entrace Of Guy and Sampson for sew
eral moments.
Occasionally the Colonel would
halt, glover at copy hook fastened
to the wall, shake his fist at it and
address it by such terms as infer
nal scoundrel,' Contemplate cur
and so on. Finally he jerked the
hook from the wall, cast it on the
floor and set his heel on the sheets,
that were strung upon it. 4

srUMr LAND IN wIscoNs1n.

A friend writing to us from Wash
burn county, Wis, tells us that there
are thousands Of acres of land in that
county which can be bought and clear.
ed up at price not to exceed SIG per
acre and that these lands will grow the
finest of clover and timothy. AS we
understand it, these lands are cut off
pine lands, and we do not see how
such land can be cleared in the sense
that the stumps are removed and the
land made fit for the pillow for any
such money. We suppose that the
clearing simply means the removal of
the timber growth and then. wait for
the stumps to rot out. Still, if the
tame grasses will grow, such land can
be pastured and reclaimed in very
few years. ~

THE MAN WHO SUCCEEDS.

We always like to see man so far
as he has opportunity make the most
Of the natural resources at his COM
mand. like to see him drain bog, re-
forest a bleak hillside with evergreens
or forest trees, turn the course of a
stream and irrigate his land. keep pure
bred animals and fowls and plant only
pure bred seed. Such man may not
cutsso big a splurge as some of the so
called big farmers which cover hun
dreds of acres. but he makes an intelli-
gent success of his calling and enjoxs
his work every day.

OLD AND NEW ways.

We have seen large field OF wheat
planted in England where man went
along with pointed stick or dibble in
each hand and made little holes in the,
ground six inches apart, two rows at al
time, and he was followed by a boy or
girl, who dropped a kernel Of wheat
in each hole, and then we saw farm
er in North Dakota, with six horses,
on sixteen foot drill, sowing forty
acres in a day in just as good shapeS
The English wheat crop was carefully
hoed and welded, cut with sickle byI
hand and yielded forty bushels per
acre. But then paupers were thicker
than the hair on a dog in that country
fifty years ago.
