""'-â '"â ' Residence and Buildings on August Hoppe Farm, Alliance Township August Hoppe, oue of the promiuent farmers of Alliance township, is a na- tive of Germany. He emigrated to America and resided in Winona Coun- ty, Minnesota, going from there to South Dakota, where he engaged in farming for eight years. In 1894 Mr. Hoppe trekked 220 miles across coun- try, from near Aberdeen, with his family, bringing nine horses and twelve head of cattle. He purchased the home quarter section for' $ per acre and began to develop his farm. Mr. Hoppe now owns and op- erates a half section of fertile land and produces fine crops of corn, potatoes and grain each year. Part of Mr. Hoppe's buildings are shown in the accompanying illustration. Louis Miller, who now owns and farms the west half of section 1 in Holy Cross township, has had many years' experience as a farmer in Clay County. For many years he was fore- man on the Ptoehm farm near George- town and gained the reputation of be- ing one of the best farm managers in this part of the state. Later he con- ducted a butcher shop at Georgetown, and resided in Moorhead for a few years. The call of the farm, however, was too strong, and Mr. Miller again engaged in farming in the Sabin neigh- borhood. A few years later he bought his present farm and has improved it in many respects. He raises potatoes, other diversified crops, and has a well selected herd of cattle. Mr. Miller. Scene on the Louis Miller Farm, Holy Cross Township.
