Dakota Farmers Eye Mixed Farming for Prosperity
In Dakota with about 1800 inhabitants, farmers consider stock raising as a future path, starting small with sheep or hogs. Mixed farming is hard work but steady, and a diversified output including horses, cattle, hogs, dairy, wheat, and vegetables could yield prosperity. Observations note rising farm produce values compared with inputs, excluding machinery. A rapid anecdote about a tramp and a girl adds local flavor. Bucklen’s Arnica Salve is advertised as the best for a range of skin ailments with a money-back guarantee.
