ind. A majority of them have ro-
alvod nothing but anHossmont certi-

wan hold hero to-day , at which it was
decided that hereafter shippers should
bo charged S2 per car for loading i-rain
at city elevators in addition to the
regular freight eharcos , and that the
men bo not furnished to load the cars
at the packing hounea and stock yards
at Bririgopoit. This the roads have
been doing for two ycara , but they
now maintain it is too heavy a tax mi
them. Thia now rule , which will go

A aorio3 of pupora on "Tho Now
Northwest , by E. V. Smalley , opens
riipliicnlly in The August Century ,
ivitli a description of the Dakota
tvheat region , and facts , like the fol
lowing , of great interest to persons
looking now homes in the west :
Nowhuro else in the United States ,
iinlcsa it bo in the distant and little
mown valleys of eastern Oregon and
Washington territory , are such largo
argo cropa of wheat raised with such
unall expense and auch certainty of
iticcess year after year. The grain is
lown lute in the spring , as soon as the
lot suns of the northern latitude have
Iriod the soaked lands , and grows
vith marvelous rapidity. By August
t ia fully mature and ready for reap-
ng. All the farm work ia done by
nachinory , The plowman ridea upon
he aulky plow ; the grain is sown
vith a drill or a broad-caster ; the
Raping machines bind the sheaves as
hey move ever the ground ,
uul the threshers do their work in
lie fielda driven by portableateam -
iiigincH that burn the utraw for fuel.
[ 'lie grain is hauled at once to eleva-
era at the nearest railway station ,
ind then the whole farm equipment
if apparatus is left standing in the
iolda until needed the next year.
Except on the big "bonan/a farma , "
iwned and operated by capitalists , it
t rare to find any shoda for implo-
iionta , or , indeed , any farm-buildings
nvo a little b.iro box of a dwellinga ,
.lid u rude stable of boards , aod and
traw , to shelter the horses from the
rinter blizzards. The rod barns of
ho bonanzi farms nmko a great show
pen the wild , vacant prairie , but
liey are not much larger than thrifty
'onnaylvania farmers , who till a hun-
red acres , build to house their cropa
nd stock.
Ic is within bounds to say that , tak-
ng ono year with another , a profit of
un dollars an ucro ia inudo on the Rod
liver wheat-landa , after paying all ex-
muses of sued , eultivntion , and mar-
: eting. The great merit of this mag-
lificent grain-field does not lie wholly
n Ha richness , however. Its struc-
uro is peculiarly favorable for the
runaportation of its product to the
.eaboard , Two hundred and fifty
nilt'fl of rail transit bringa the lied
liver wheat to Duluth at the head of
uako Superior , from whence there ia
vater-carriago all the way to New
fork harbor , Dakota seems to havn
jeen fitted by nuturo for u vast , per- ,
naiient wheat field , ' ' 'ho conditions
if climate and soil exist for producing
ho best grade of wheat and the larg-
iat average crops harvested for a
uccesaion of years in the United
itatee , except , perhaps , Washington
Territory ,
