ngs have nothing TO show what they are.
They are like the others i'm Boston:
strongly-built, roomy, light, and seemingly
with all the modern improvements, and
their ornamentation and trimming rich,
but very quiet and unostentatious. They
seem TO have been built as needs demanded
and wherever ground could be found for
them, so that there is no general plan, and
the grounds appear to be crowded with
them. They have Overfiowed the original
plat and mingled with the closely built
town of Cambridge, so that there is no
clear distinction anywhere between town
and gown
The grounds are well kept, with brightly
verdant, clOSe-shaven lawns and smooth
stone walks. The famous elms are a dis
tinct disappointment. SO much has been
written of the Cambridge elms that | ex-
pected something unusual in the way of
this majestically graceful tree. There can
be nothing finer in the tree line than one
of our fully-developed American elms, with
its grand umbelliferous top, which carries
out the Scriptural idea of giving shelter TO
the birds of the air and shade to the beasts
of the earth.
In this respect the American elm far ex-
GELS the British elm. which has nothing of
the long, graceful downward sweep of
branches.
But neither in the University grounds

BACK INTO BOSTON.
All streets in Boston lead to narrow,
winding but solidly superb Washington
Street. The thoroughfare is said to have
been originally marked out by the cows
of the thrifty Pilgrim Forefathers, in their
daily journeys from the early homes clus-
tered on Charles River, to their favorite
browsing ground on Boston Commons, and
back home in the evening with their mead
of milk. There is something in q cows
nature, like hens, which keeps her from
moving in straight line, or ever in the
way she should. Therefore, Washington
street runs to every point of the compass
in comparatively short distance, but this
has not prevented its becoming what has
been asserted to be the best built and rich
est street Of its length in the world, GER
tainly in this country.
The BOstonians are very proud of its
alterations, as they are Of everything else

with the city to reach any point easier than
is possible III the business section of any
other city.
So much for being raised that way.
Washington street is certainly fuller Of
history than any other American thorough
fare. On or near it are Faneuil Hall, the
old State House, the old South Church, and
scores of other places famous in our an
mails, and it debouches upon Boston Com
mons. The names on the signs are all good
old American ones, where riding up Broad
way and reading the signs makes one feel
as if in foreign land.
Washington street is now more generally
and handsomely decorated than any other
street in the city, showing that American
names means something, and this genera
ton has not forgotten their fathers.

It is possible that the opportuni-
ties for establishing a home in
North Dakota on small means are
not as favorable at the present
time as they were earlier in it's his
tory owing to the advance in the
price of land. But it must be re-
membered that other conditions are
in favor Of opening up and estab-
fishing homes more cheaply than
could be done decade ago owing
to the great reduction lin the in
terest rates, in the price of farm
machinery, and nearly every thing
that the farmer has to purchase.

FUNDS FOR CATTLE TEST.

Just now, Senators McCumber
and Hansbrough are in the liveliest
little fight they have had during
their senatorial experience. The
fight arises over the item inserted
by the senate in the agricultural
appropriation bill appropriating
$50, 900 for experiments to be con-
Quoted by rhe agricultural colleges
of the country in the breeding and
fattening of live stock. The under
standing is, that this appropriation
if retained IN the bill, IS to be used
for experiments in fattening cattle
in the so-called non-corn growing
states have never attempted to fat
ten their stock in that section.
After the cattle have been grazed,
they have been shipped to KANSAS,
Missouri, Iowa or Illinois and there
corn-fed, receiving the finishing
touches before they are thrown on
the market. This has resulted in
great loss to the cattle growers of
Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah
and the other Rocky Mountain
states, as grass.fed cattle command
a much less price than corn-fed.
Three-year-old steers are purchased
in Colorado and other western states
at from $25 to $35 per head, shipped
to Kansas, Iowa or Illinois, fed on
corn for two or three months and
then placed on the market at Chi
cago, bringing anywhere from $50
to 500 per head. The loss of the
stock growers in the Rocky Noun
tain states has been very great and
and the object Of the present ap-
preparation for experiments in fat
tening cattle is to demonstrate the
feasibility of finishing cattle for
market in the non-corn growing
states. F. Herald.

CREAMERIES AND CASH.

To the casual observer, says the
correspondent of an Iowa paper, a
creamery don't seem to be much of
an institution in town. But it is.
You. see only a few farmers at a
time around the institution, and
you don't realize that they are re-
ceiving more than 5000 a month
for their cream-enough above the
S., 900 to make the total for the
yeariover $75,0OO-and this in cash
at top-notch prices. This, too, be-
side the fresh, sweet milk upon
which some calves are raised. Yes,
a creamery is a mighty good thing
for a town and for the farmers in
the country round about.
Suppose that the farmers in the
neighborhood of a live creamery
went back on the faithful dairy
GOWN other works, quit milking
and the creamery was forced to
close its doors. What would be the
efect2 It would be something of
this nature
The bankers of the town where
this particular creamery had been
located, will tell you that they had
not hearty as much money on de-
posit as they had during the years
when the creamery was in opera
ton. The merchant would say that
old conditions we're again prevail
ing wherein the farmer asks for
credit-something unusual when the
cream checks come in regularly.
The farmer will miss his checks
the every day money, the handy
cash, the ribbon money, the sugar
and coffee money. It is the money
that meets the general expenses all
through the year; and when the
yearly crop of grain and live stock
is sold, then the mortgage is lifted
or the new barn is built. But it is
the, old COW that furnishes the cash
to save the loan and render unnec-
essary the long account with the
merchant, which too often, when
made, is never paid.

16O acres and he could get returns
from his land necessitated quite an
outlay of money. Under the old
plan OF opening upa wheat farm,
the settler had to be on the land in
the spring. He would break his
land and back-set it, that is, plow
il the second time, but could raise
no crop until the next year. and
would not get returns from that
until in the fall; therefore it would
be year and a half from the time
he established himself in Dakota
before he could get any returns
from his land. So, to break up
100 acres, plow it a year and a half,
get the machinery to seed and har-
vest 100 acres required some cap
ital.

EASY TO GET A START.
Many settlers with small means
made the mistake of undertaking
too much and got in debt, so that
if the crop proved not to be very
profitable one, they become in
volved. But now that they are
raising flax, they can break the
land the first spring, SOW fax the
same season, and get pretty fair
crop, the income of which enables
the settler to go for seeding the
next spring'to other grain. This
practice of seeding flax on newly
broken land has been quite an at
tractive feature to the new settlers
in the northwest for the last few
years.
Settlers in North Dakota should
go into stock as early as possible.
They should 60 into mixed farm
ing ana not depend entirely upon
grain, and therefore not break up
all of the farm, even if they can do
so, but retain a part of it for pas
turage and stock purposes. 1 feel
confident that on plan similar to
this, good, thrifty, enterprising,
economical young farmer can, un-
der ordinary circumstances, sue
ceed in ashort time in establishing
comfortable home in North Da-
kota.
The atmosphere is dry and de:
void of any humidity during the
winter months, and, therefore, it
never penetrates and chills as does
the damp atmosphere of the At
lantic states. It is fact, borne
out by the assertions of all the
state, hailing, as they do, from all
sections of the United States, that
the winters of North Dakota are
no more severe and cause less suff-
ering and inconvenience than the
winters of the New England or
western states. The thermometer
occasionally register very low
temperature, and probably this is
the cause of much inexcnsable mis-
conception in regard to our climate;
but the reader is assured that a
temperature of 40 degrees below
zero, an exceptionally cold day of
the winter, has no more terrors for
a North Dakotan than has the
''norther" of Texas, or the daily
snow storms of New England for
the residents of those latitudes.
The AUTUMN L1NGERs.
The autumn is a delightful sea-
son, and is generally prolonged far
into December: set cold weather
rarely comes until after the holl-
days. The sudden breaking up of
the winter is a very noticeable fea-
ture of North Dakota weather.
There is none of that intermittent
warfare between Boreas and the
sun, resulting ina prolonged Wis.,
itation of rain and wind, alternate
freezing and thawing, SO common
in the eastern states, and dreaded
always as the most disagreeable
season of the year.
The winter breaks in March, us
ually, and is followed Immediately
by the warm. sunny days of sum-
mer. Seeding and farm operations
generally begin in the latter part
of March, or early in April, and are
seldom interrupted by the return
of frost or snow.
