right good lot Of it has been planted
Now let the farmers see that it is well cared
for, and they will not be under tho necessity

.! Eastern markets this season is becoming a
matter Of general remark to neople down

production, says ''Thc amount coming for
ward for shipment over the La Crosse road
to Milwaukee, is perfectly surprising. AT
the close Of navigation the array Of figures
which will be footed up will cause people to
open their eyes ard wonder whore undc,
the heavens it was raised, and where the
money to pay for it came from"
| BEGINSING TO FIND IT OuT.-We notice
! it has Just been found out that the good
things our Minnesota ladies have been send
ing to the sick and wouniel in the hospitals,
never reached those for whom they were
intended This is Just what we warned
those dear Christian ladies' all the time, ard
advised them to bestow their gifts on the
families Of the soldiers. The waters, the
employees, the stewards Of the hospitals,
obtain the good things, while the patients
are required to live upon broth and such
other articles as arc furnished by Uncle Sam.
Probably nine tenths Of all the Injuries and
dc'icasies sent to our sick and wounded
! Minnesota soldiers by those charitable ladies
has beea deyoured by great stout lazy fell
lows whose stomache could dssect lime
stone.-Gzeacoe Reg.
