Dear Sir: I like tbo country very much so far; have teen a great number of farmert from the ttates and every ona seen so far says tlioy have dono welt and like It hero far better than whero they came from, nnd alt claim it to be tho best country for a poor man that they wero ever In, nnd with good crops this season I predict a great ruih. Thera aro tomo nlco claims to be bad yet, but will not last tho aummcr through, I do not find It any colder than In Iowa and am feeling much better than when I left thero March 1st. I think this a great country for thoso who are suffering suf-fering with throat and lung troubles. I havo seen men that bad aa high aa ClVi bushela wheat per aero and near 100 bushela oats, but they weigh from 45 to 51 pounds per bushel, but the general run Is 25 to CO wheat, CO to 75 oats, and atock looking fine; aome I cattle running out were nearly In mar- I ket Uesh. I expect to return to the I ttates late this fall for itock, etc.; will 1 writs you when I want to go. Thank- I Ing you all for past favors, I remain, 1 moit respectfully yourt, M (Signed) Dr. I). E.
