I'til go Republican: The success which has attended all who have gone into the business of stock breeding and raising proves that this is beyond cavil or (question a good stock farming country. The small fanner can do so on a small scale, at a small outlay of capital, just as well as those who have invested largely the business. If a man has imt his thousands to invest let him put in what he can. If he is ft quarter section farmer he ought in some way to get together a small bunch of heifers and cows, (ireat results hav(.- often been obtained from very small beginnings. The Republican calls to mind a settler in one of the counties in south Dakota, who came into the territory six years ago. with little or no money capital, lie drove iu from Iowa four cows homesteaded a claim and went to work. That man lias to-day a herd of sixty head of line cattle. He ha* during that time devoted him self also to the raising of hogs and they have been a source of great profit to him. He is now on the high road to wealth and prosperi ty, the possessor of a good home, a valuable farm, and the nucleus for a fortune in his live stock. If he had adopted the policy uursued by too many and devoted all these years to the raising of the one crop—wheat, he would probably by this time have been sold out by the sheriff to satisfy his creditors. In stock and diversi fied farming lies the salvation of the small fanners all over Dakota. If wise they will go into this kind of arming as soon and as rapidly as pos sible. The outlook for wheat is not such as to encourage any one to look for high prices. It would rather in dicate still lower prices. This being the case, it is time the resilient fann ers of this valley turn their-attention to ihe raising of such grain™ s can be profitably used for fattening hogs or feeding to horses and the rearing of stock. Jiy so doing they can make this the richest and grandest agricul tural section in the world. By stick ing to wheat they will bring poverty and ruin upon themselves and those dependent upon them. Railroad men are falling into the opinion that the new Fargo & South ern load, to be completed from Fargo to Ortonville this summer is merely a scheme of the Milwaukee company i for obtaining an entrance into North ern Facilic and Manitoba territory. "iiiiuecting at Ortouville with the I Fiii-go & Southern, the Milwaukee will I iinii*eutranee into Fargo, from whence lit wili penetrate North Dakota under the name of the new corporation, known as the Fargo. Lanmore k I Northern, to Portland, the principal town on the (loose river, crossing the nver and striking the old road bed of Ittie Casselton branch just north ol i ivville and thence to Larimore and I oil northwest into the Turtle Moun tain and Mouse river country. 1 tie i^selton branch makes May vibe two Vone-half IH n miles from Portland, its [vriiiinus. although the road is graded several miles bevond and ironed for a i short distance. This road bed was ,,t included in the sale by the Nort.i em Facilic of the Casselton branch to the Manitoba, but has lately Wn sold, the reputed purchaser being the Milwaukee road, which gives coloi to {he rumor that the Fargo. Larimore and Northern and the argo & South ern are to become a part of the great Milwaukee system.- lUtxnc's MONTHLY OF A LA Red field (Jazette. MAOAZISF. ror. Anm.
