This country is fast becoming a stock country, aud the wheat acreage is de. creasing each year. Every spring brings in lots of emigrants, who, I think, are wise in locating here, Old settlers, who have been here twenty five years, say they never had an en- tire failure of crops, aud only two or three bad years.
