| farm development. The Alfalfa Farms
company has pledged $500 for a church
| at Miesse and each member of the colony
has purchased property in the town of
Miesse. Mr.. Hon viii return east in a
few DAYS and on his next excursion will
bring another colony of Dunkards who
, have options on a large tract of the
cOmpany's lands. In company with this
colony were u other farmers of Ohio,
Illinois and Indiana, all of whom bought
farms OF varying sizes in the vicinity

of wisdom and foresight, and when he
goes east to bring back good farmers he
has not the slightest difficulty in inter-
esting the best of them. All of the peo-
pie coming on the 10 large excursions
brought in by the Mimbres Alfalfa
Farms company have purchased farms
varying from 40 to $50 acres each.
