The fine spring weather we have been having came to a very sudden end Monday, when one would think it Was just about time to don their summer underclothing. The clouds began to gather about eight o’clock and by noon it had begun to rain.

NORTH DAKOTA LETTER.

Sheldon, N. D„ April 29. Editor Babcock, Dear Sir: —As I have been reading some of the letters which were written to you and published in The Democrat, I thought I would write a few lines. We have been having splendid weather and most everyone is through seeding. Of course there are always a few to be the last. We finished up April 24; then we thought it was so early that we plowed 35 acres more and sowed it to wheat, of which we had intended to “summer foller.” Wheat is looking fine and the grass is making godd headway for pasture. We had a fine rain some two weeks ago, when it rained two days straight. We also had a little snow storm, just as fine for the ground as a light rain. There was about from 3 to 4 inches of snow, but the sun came out bright again and it was soon melted away. I noticed one letter in your columns from Devil's Lake that stated there was five feet of snow there in some places. We have 540 acres of crqps in now. And we are putting in forty acres of, corn besides. There is going to be lots of com planted in North Dakota this spring. We are running this section with 12 head of horses. Can two men farm a section in Indiana with 12 horses? I guess they would go some If they did. Grain isn’t as high in price as we thought it would be last fall. Our crop was very light, but it w»6 fair- in other sections. I will send you the Lisbon markets: ‘

Xo. 1 hard wheat, 87c; No. 2 hard wheat, 85c; No. 2 velvet chaff. 83c; No. 3 or C Wheat, 79c; No. 1 Durham, 74c; No. 2 Durham, 72c; No. 1 flax, $2.48; barley, 84c; oats, 30c; rye, 79c; eggs, 12 %c; butter, 25c; beef. 4-sc; pork, sc; veal, sc; flour, $3,50 per cwt. Well, if you think this worth publishing and have room for same, you may do so. Yours truly,

TO FRIENDS OF THE DEMOCRAT.

PERT PARAGRAPHS. fpHE trouble with some of our struggling fellow creatures is they are always trying to get a square deal for themselves while being utterly indifferent about the other fellow.
