Registers and Rsesivsrso Of q. 8. Land Omees:
GENTLEMEN I'll have to call your
attention to the following act of Con-
gress, approved March, 3, 1873, amen.
datory Of the act of June 9, 1872:
AN ACT to amend an act entitled
IAN act to enable Aonorably
discharged soldiers and sailors,
their widows and orphan children,
to acquire homesteads on the public
lands of the United Sates," and the
amendments thereto.
Be It enacted by the Seaate and
House Of Representatives o the Unit-
ed States IL Congress assembled,
That section two Of the act entitled
IAN act to amend an act relating to
soldiers homestea4s," approved June
eight, eighteen hundred and seventy
two, be amended SO as to read as fol.
lows: That any person entitled under
the provisions ofthe foregoing sections
to enter . homestead, who may have
heretofore entered under the home
stead laws quantity Of land less than
one hundred and sixty acres, shall be
permitted to enter 50 much land as,
when added to the quantity previously
entered, shall not exceed one hundred
and sixty acres.
1t will be perceived that the above
act merely abrogates that provision Of
the act Of June 8, 1872, which required
the tract, or tracts, embraced in an en-
try of additional land to be contiguous
to the original homestead.
Hereafter, therefore, you will permit
entries Of this class, by duly qualified
applicants under the following regula.
tions, upon any public lands in your
district subject to pre- emption and
homestead entry:
Where persons entitled to the priv.
ilege shall apply to enter additional
land by virtue of the second Of the act
Of June 9, 1872, or the amendatory
act Of March 3, 1873, you will, in
case the party had previously made f.
nal proof upon his original homestead
entry, isope to the applicant, upon the
proper proof Of military service, final
certificate Of the current number and
date, referring thereon to the number
Of the original entry, and the previous
final certificate.
In case the party has not made
proof on his original homestead entry
when he applies for additional land,
you will allow him to make the addi-
tional entry, and forward the applica.
tion and other papers, giving them
the current number of homestead en-
tries, referring thereon to the original
entry !; then, when the party makes
proof on the original entry, you will
issue one final ccrtia ;ate embracing the
tracts in both entries, referring there.
on to the additional as we'll as the
original entry, SO that one patent may
issue for the lands in both entries.

When it is stated that Minnesota is
the best wheat growing state in the
Union there are a great many persons,
especially in the other. western states,
Who characterize it as a piece Of Min
nesota bluster, and even attempt to con
trovert the statement.
But figures will more than confirm
it and should be known. The statis-
tics gathered by the State Board Of
equalization ought to be largely circu-
lated.
According to the census Of 1860,
the entire wheat product Of New Eng
land was sufficient to feed her own peo-
pie three weeks that of New York
sufficient for her own consumption six
months; that of Pennsylvania, after
feeding her own people, afforded NO
surplus; while the surplus ef Ohio " as
but 100000 bushels For that year,
and for the past six years her wheat
crop has fallen below her own consum-
tion. In the ten years ending in 1860
the wheat crop of these States decreas-
ed 6,50O,O0O bushels.
In the light Of these facts the at
chievements of Minnesota in whea-
growing, as we'll as her untaxed capac-
ity for its continued and increased pro-
ductions, assume a proud pre-emi-
nence. Her crop in 1869 was 1S,50O-
900 bushels, and her surplus not less
than 100000. Both IN the aver
age per acre, and in the relative mag
nitude Of operations, she leads the
sisterhood Of States. From 1859, in
which year wheat occupied 81 per
cent Of the whole cultivated breadth,
there has been constant absorption of
area by that grain, so that 1868 wit
nesses its occupancy Of 81 sc per cent
Of the total breadth cultivated.
The following statement shows the
total production of wheat and the aver
age per acre for the years designated {:

A Coop WORD FOR LOCAL PA.
PERs.-The New York Times says
that you might nearly as we'll forget
your churches, your academies and
school houses Is to forget your local
papers. It speaks to ten times the
audience that your local minister does.
It is read eagerly each week from be-
ginning to end. It reaches you all,
and if it has a lower spirit and less
wisdom than . sermon, it has . thou
sand times = better chance to you.
Laying, as it does, on every table, in
almost every house, you oye it to your
selves to rally literally to its support,
and exact from it as able, high toned
: character as you do from an educa-
tor in your midst. It is in no sense
beneath notice and care, for it is your
representative. Indeed, in its charac.
ter it is the san,harization Of the i'm.
portance, interest and welfare Of you
all. It is the aggregate Of your own
consequence, and you cannot ignore
it without niaerably depreciatiug
yourselves.

THE CAMPAIGN.

For somc weeks our exchanges have
been discussing the chances Of the va
rious candidates for the different State
Offices, particularly that Of the Cover
nor ship.
The Minneapolis Tribune is uucom-
promisiugly devoted to the interests Of
w. D. Washburn the St. Paul Dis-
catch to those Of G. X. Davis and the
Rochester papers to Mr.. Armstrong.
Occasionally another paper Wheels into
line, but very few Of them seem to
have either persorsl preferences suff-
ciently strong or material interest at
stake of sufficient importance to make
them decided for any particular one !;
ir :act good many seem to think that
It is not their funeral and are waiting
till the interested localities fight it out.
If the people Of this county have any
preference it has not found expression
(At the date Of this writing the county
convention has not been held, that
may enlighten us.) The general feel.
inss appears to be that it will be put
up job, and that We are too entirely on
the frontier to make our wishes avail
It is not probable that the nomination
Of any one of the above will either
cause serious detection ip the party
vote or induce very enthusiastic cam
paigu. Mr.. Washburn has been iden-
titled With many of the leading State
enterprises, is successful business
man, and is working hard for the nom.
nation, with the best backing that
Minneapolis can give. Mr. Armstrong
is brought out and warmly supported
by a constituency that have known
him long and we'll and whose general
interest cannot be materially different
from our own.
c. R. Davis, We know to be nan
of ability and integrity and are sur
prised that, at his age and with his
professional prospects he would cousid.
er accepting the nomination.
The only other name that, through
probable contingencies, is likely to be
brought before the convention is that
of Gov. Austin. His discharge Of off
.cial duties receives the approval Of q
considerable portion Of the people
throughout the state, and he has
strength with them. We shall soon
see what ne shall see.

have contained accounts Of the closing

various accounts are very gratifying to
all who are interested in the educa-

Learn q Trade.

=
The prospect for wealth and posi-
ton to day is brighter to any young
man Of ability and ambition, who will
learn we'll and thoroughly good trade
than for any one who attempts to
crowd into the professions. The
country is sadly in want Of mechanics
who combine skill with intelligence.
Not a workshop or manufactury can
be found to-day where they arc not
needed. Nor a manufacturing or me.
chanical establishment exists in the
country which is not deficient, some
way or other, in skilled assistance. It
is the skillful, intelligent mechanic who
is most in demand, and hence none Of
them are to be found who are not
profitably employed. Wealth is rap
idly accumulated by such men, who
devote themselves to the various me.
chanical pursuits, or to the production
of articles which are regarded in the
sense Of necessities by the community:
The pressing demand Of the day is not
for mere ornament, but for those who
by the labor of hand aud brain com.
bined, are able to make capital PRO.
ductive. Our advice to young men is
to earnestly apply themselves to the
acquisition Of sqsh knowledge as will
enable them to supply the ever-iu.
creasing demand for skilled labor,
thereby not only laying the foundation
for future personal prosperity. but at
the same time rendering high and
permanent benefit to the community
