Mower County transcript. [volume] (Lansing, Minn.) 1868-1915, 1871-10-05

We learn that certain parties are
perambulating the county with the
view of shaping the nominations soon
to be made By the county convention !;
and that the principal fusleman is
an iii ncrant Insurance Agent,
who is temporarily absent from
his home in Iowa. and for a little d.
version is imagining himself candidate
for the honorable Office ofState Senator.
1t is the general impression that lie is
the instrument of a former faction of
the Republican party for the accom-
plishment of design which could not
but be odious, if it were boldly an
nounced by those in whose interest,
and under whose direction it is being
prosecuted. 1t is the purpose Of the
disaffected ones to start candidate at
any point where there is any probabili-
ty Of gaining a little local support; not
that they expect to nominate any
one of these, but by means Of their
candidacy to so embroil the members
of the party as to make their agreement
upon any one, difficult and dangerous,
also, on account Of the disappointment
Of the many who must necessarily be
unsuc cessful.
The advances Of those who profess
entire disinterestcdness and q reluctant
willingness to be nominated for the
sake of harmony, and the good of
the party-as they should
be met at the Threshold and
strongly repulsed. They are but
the agents of a close political corpora
ton whose charter is MT satisfactory
10 the people, and whose record is not
such as to recommend it to their con-
fidence.
Theory for harmony comes mainly
from those who will have union of action,
only upon the basis of their former
record. Can the honest men of the
county hurmonixe there? Can they
harmonize upon men who have lived
here for years, and taken no interest in
the war which has been waging? Such
are too letharsic to be relied upon in
an emergency which may require the
vigorous and rapid movements of the
most able and energetic men.
Can they unite in the pursuit
of any purpose which can ultimate
only in division, disruption and inglor.
ious defeat?
We have only to say, Republicans
stand together, ~orh together, ignore
the oAcious interference of all who
labor but to subserve their own pur
poses; keep your own counsel beware
Of those who protfer aid when they
have nothing to bestow. Their remote
paternal ancestor was engaged in the
same business 1900 years ago. Give
notice of the primary meetings; at
tend them, select men Of character tc
represent you and then see that the
ticket gets the full vote of the party

Now that the farming season for
the years is about over, it is to be
hoped that every farmer will see that
his implements, such as reaper, mower,
harrow, cultivator, hoe, and everything
OF kindred character, are safely housed
where either the frost or snow Of win
ter, or the rain of spring or summer
can reach it. Large sums Of money arc
lost every year by leaving agricultural
utensils out in the fields, barn yard and
by.placcs. They should by all means
be under cover, and that, too, at all
seasons and all periods, only when out
for use on the ia rm.

The St0Ie Fair.

We were on the Fair Grounds about
five hours of Friday last. The crowd
numbered fully 10000, in tho latter
part Of tho day. The exhibition was
fur superior to any former one, given in
the State. There were not SO many
fine cattle to be seen as might have
been reasonably expected, although the
show was very respectable in this par
ticular. The absence of eighteen Of
the finest members Of Colonel Kings
herd made material difference in the
appearance Of this department.
The number Of horses exhibited was
not great; but we saw some that
were very fine indeed. There were
four draft horses weighing an average
Of about 1850 lbs. all jet black, and
otherwise looking very much alike.
They were in many respects ,0onderful,
no description will do them justice.
They must be seen to be appreciated.
OF horses Of medium size, and for all
purposes, there was creditable display,
and among them, some which were very
beautiful indeed, and few which were
the admiration Of all beholders.
The different kinds of swine were
fairly represented although we think
but little effort was made in behalf Of
this division.
The same may be said concerning
the sheep. There were but few on
exhibition-yet what We saw were very
fine, representatives Of the respective
classes. There were few South
Downs, and a few Mcrino's, which we
have never seen excelled.
The display Of farm Implements was
magnificent. Every labor saving device
which the genius of man has lately pro-
duced, was to be seen there, Reapers
and Mowers, of all kinds, Threshing
Machines, Self Rakes, Horse Forks,
Gang Flows, Wagons and Carriages,
Cutters and Sleighs in every conceiva-
bic variety, and thousand other things
of wonderfully perfect mechanism, and
beauty of finish. Stoves Of every kind
for every conceivable purpose. Furna-
ces tor houses, for public buildings, and
for cooking food for stock. Washing
Machines, Churns, Meat Cutters, Egg

r. s. Cramer, of New Boston, ILL.,, has
recently lost number of cattle from some
disease of which very little seems to bt
known. The animals live but few
hours after they are attacked with the
disease, and We believe in every instance
it has proved fatal Mr.. Cramer lest
twenty three head, all in the space OF
three or four days.
A citizen of Elizabeth, Ill, one of ths
most strictly reliable men in the village,
while at Mt. Carroll, heard that Mr..
Shirk, who lived but one mile from the
city, had cow which had just had five
calves at one birth. The gentleman, not
crediting the report, walked out to the
farm to satisfy himself, and ON arriving
there actually saw four Of the calves,
which weighed 81 peunos each. He
could not ascertain the weight of the
fifth, as it had been carried away by
hogs, and torn to pieces. All the calves
have since died. This can be relied on
as strictly true.

There are few stables SO perfect in every
particular that some Improvement cannot

the horses consume an extra quantity OF

Some have not sufficient veptilation, 50
that he horse is compelled to breathe
over again the Initiated air which has
been expelled from their lungs. Many
stables have not sufficient light, which,
in itself, is serious defect, as the want
