FARMING IN DAKOTA.
‘‘Speaking of fanning,” said the
visitor from the West, *<we have son.o
farms out in Dakota that are quite
sizable. I’ve seen a man on one of our
big farms start out in the spring and
plow a straight furrow till fall. Th< n

"it is the usual thing to send young
married couples out to milk the cows.
Their children return with the milk.”
