COUNTY FAIR.

It is contemplated by some Of our citizens
to get up driving track-a sort Of incip-
lent race course-and We think it Is 4
good time to consider the matter Of organ
izing an agricultural Society and institute
ing county fairs.
Hwould Re ofvery great advantage to the
county, both in the way Of business and
reputation to hold county Fairs regularly
We are well aware Of the difficulties and la
Dor attending the beginning Of all sucl,
things, but many Of the objections that
will be urged are only partly real. 1t is
true that this is new county, that this
present year we have suffered some from
the visits Of the grasshoppers, that altogeth-
er the year is discouraging one and the
people will have little or nothing to exhibit
and will not have much heart to go into il
&c. All Of which is true. But is is fact
that counties younger than Redwood have
had Fairs that were creditably successful
as exhibitions and Of very great pecuniary
benefit.
And it is not true that there will lie
nothing to bring to fair. There are scores
Of articles ordinarily exhibited in county
fairs that can be produced just as favorably
this fall by this county as at any other
time or by any other county. The best
bushel Of Potatoes, best bushel Of wheat,
oats or corn, or the largest yield Of any OF
them per acre or on any number Of acres
the hest pound of butter or the largest
quantity per week or month made from
any one COW; the hest calf, yearling tw"
or three years old, the finest COW, best yoke
Of cattle, the best draft or driving horse or
span Of horses and so on AID ISrISIrrM.
There is no good reason why Redwood
county cannot hold, ''this fall" a credita-
Die and profitable Fair. There is probably
no stock equal to some that may lie found
in other places but there are good cattle
and hogs and we venture the assertion that
if Fairs should begin this fall, our stock of
all kinds, will he 50 per cent better three
years hence that if we do not have fairs.
OF course, very little would he expected
in the way Of premiums, in most cases
nothing more than certificate or its equiv
alent. The great difficulty about any such
thing is in making an actual beginning and
this part of any new undertaking, is espec-
tally discouraging in this place. Any per-
son who has ever attempted to get up 18th.
of July celebration or any other general en-
tertainment or enterprise understands this
fully.
But it can be done, The First fair, -"
whether held this year or next year or five
years hence, will probably be a moderate
affair. After that the thing will lie in
running order and We have our hands in.
A half a dozen men determined to see
this through can do SO successfully, and it
is time Redwood county would commence
that sort Of thing.

Mr.. Dolvin is making good progress with
the county building. Will probably "raise
this week." and have It entirely completed
BY September first.
Mr.. D., is not under obligations to have
it done before about the middle Of October,
but by hurrying the matter somewhat and
having it ready for use in time for the ses-
sion of court, he expects to save the county
in various ways, us or sl0O.; which is q
very creditable purpose in Mr.. Dolvin, and
one that the people will appreciate. If any
one wishes to know, whether or not the
work is satisfactorily done he can go and zee
for himself. We don't apprehend that Mr..
D. will retire from business on the profits Of
this job, If he completes it as he has begun.
We have no doubt however, that he viii

STATE NEWS,

Gov. Austin has received copies of
approved selections Of land for the ben
le6t Of railroads as follows:
In the Duluth land district, 125, O64
acres, for the Lake Superior 4 Mis-
sissirpi Railroad Company.
In the Litchfeid and New Ulm dis
tricts, l10,942 acres, for the Wiaona
l. St. Peter Railroad Company.
In the Oak Lake district, !, 920 acre
for the St Pau! and Pacific Railroad
Company, on account of the St. Vim.
cent extention.
Also s, 1929 acres of swamp and over.
flowed lands in the Litchfeld district,
for the benefit of the State.
The Winona Il St. Peter Railroad
Company are compelled to run several
extra trains every day to transact its
rapidly accumulating business
Rochester has voted bonus Of S25
900 to TIE proposed extension Of the
Lake Pepin Il Green Bay Railroad
from Wabashaw to that point. The
majority in its favor was 90 in a total
vote of 2O2.
t55 Loads Of wheat were delivered
at Red Wing in one day. The A,yx$
in speaking Of the fact, goes into the
following calculation Allowing thirty
bushels to the load, low estimate, the
955 loads would amount to 1860
bushels.
Some Eve or six hundred head Of
cattle and horses have been driven
from the town Of Quincy, 0lmstesd
county. this spring. to the unoccupied
prairies in Mower county and North.
ern Iowa, to be herded and fed during
the Summer.
The survey for the extention Of the
Southern Minuescta Railroad to the

quietly but rapidly. The new line

McCormick's Impreved Advance.

McCOrmfck's Inpreved Advance.
VERY IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS
Among several advantages that on,
new Advance will possess, are the FOL-
lowing:
The driving wheels have been en-
largcd as we'll as the driving pinions,
which, though giving the same speed
to the sickle and knife as heretofore,
lessons the draft immensely.
The new arrange ment for varying
the height of cutting while in motion.
is by means Of crank at the opera.
tors right hand and front edge Of the
platform can be tilted up and down
while in motion. When getting into a
patch Of down grain, the cutting edg,
can be suddenly depressed, the same
movement throwing the reel fans and
rake we'll forward so SO that ever,
head Of lodged grain can be picked uI
and saved; and then emerging into
easier cutting, they can as easily be
brought into their former relative pos.
ition; and all done by turning a crank
without leaving the seat or stopping
the team.
We consider these improvements
have added fully fifty per cent to tn.
inherent value Of our machines.
These improvements we're fully test
ed last harvest on hundreds of fields,
so there is no sort Of experiment about
them
The Advance is a combined mach.
inc and the only combined machine 10
use which reaps, rakes, and mows, equ-
ally we'll
The cutter is serrated edge sickle,
which will cut an entire season with
out grinding. As mower it cuts fou,
feet wide with a separate cutter bar
When ready for moving, it is identical
with the Prize Mower with which the
farming community throughout the
Northwest is so we'll acquainted.
