Meet Itasca county is served principally by the Great Northern railroad line, connecting with Du- luth and Superior on the east, Grand Forks and the Dakota prairies to the west, and thereby with St. Paul and Minneapolis and all the markets reached from those cities. The train service is good and freight facilities are ample. Aeross the eastern side of the county runs the Duluth, Missabe & Northern, from Coleraine through the mining towns and thence to Duluth, Its local service is admirable. An extension to Grand Rapids is planned and is to be made before a great while. The range is also reached by the Great North- ern, connecting the main line at Gunn, just below Grand Rapids, with the range towns from Coler- aine to Keewatin, affording close traffic relations, Two hay crops on the meadow shown in the fore- ground paid for the clearing. —William Welte’s farm on Big Fork A morning’s fish ng on Little Trout; there are four hundred other lakes just as good.—Notice the pleasant expression on the Presbyter- ian minister’s face. and again by a line from the middle of the range to Swan River in the southeastern corner of the eounty. From Swan River, the Mississippi, Hill City & Western runs southwest through the southern tiers of the county into Aitkin adjoining. Of great importance to the development of the county is the Minneapolis & Rainy River railroad, heretofore a logging road owned by lumber inter- ests. It extends from Deer River north into Koo- chiching county with several branch lines and spurs. Lately this line has been managed more with a view to permanent business and its policy toward settlers will be materially affected there- by. In the northeastern corner of the county, there is access, though ‘by a rather long haul, to the Canadian Northern at Cook. And a small part of the southwestern corner is tributary to the Soo line passing through Cass county. There are 175 miles of railroad within the county, giving regular service within moderate hauling distance of the greater part of its area. River and Lake Navigation. Across Itasca county, through Deer River, Co- hasset and Grand Rapids, flows the Mississippi. Connecting with the river at Cohasset is Pokegama lake, one of the most beautiful in the state. The lake and the river for nearly one hun- dred miles above Pokegama dam are navigable for all sorts of small craft and for large steamboats, making the cheapest sort of transportation for the farmers who live along the shores. Pokegama, with a shore line of more than 300 miles skirted with stately native timber, its clear blue water fed by countless springs, is becoming widely famed- for fishing, camping and the out- door life. ; Nine Months Old Hogs Nine months old hogs on William Welte’s farm that average 350 pounds each. After they were weaned last summer they were enclosed in a patch that was partly cleared, which was seeded with bagas, carrots and turnips. The turnips grew large enough for their forage in short time and were enough till the other roots came in. During the winter they thrived on what was thrown out from the cook house, with a little oats on some days when the waste and leavings was not enough, but not any corn. Hogs do well. Two sows gave litters of twenty pigs, all living.
