FROM SOUTH DAKOTA.

Wessington, S. D., May 15. Mr Babcock:—l have moved on Will Major’s farm, close to Wessington, and would like for you to send the paper to Wessingtou, S. D., instead of Miller. We have had a nice rain every Monday but one since I came here and everything is growing nicely. There has been a large acreage of wheat sown iu this sectiou of the country and farmers are now planting corn. The grass is good. (One can see more cattle, horses and sheep in a day’s ride in this | country than Jasper county owns. I think this is a fine country so far, but I don’t know how it will pan out in the droughty part of the season, and I think from what I can learn that the fall and early spring is tolerable blizzardy. I believe this is all at this time. Yours respectfully,

C. J. MARTIN.
