EDITOR ADVANCE: The grasshop-

days ago and have made sad work for
Us. On The morning Of the 18th the
crops were looking fine and every one
was anticipating a fair harvest. But
about 10 o'clock the air became alive
with grasshoppers, and they settled
down in numbers past telling. Then
began the work of destruction. Corn,
potatoes, garden truck, all disappeared
like frost before the sun. There was
no driving them away. They did not
seem to work on the wheat 50 much

but everything else is a total wreck
They ate corn that was two inches in
diameter at the base close off to the

Col. II. H. Taylor, in an essay read
before the Hennepin County Council,
published in the Farmers Union, says:
My experience in sheep raising indu-
e &c me to say that sheep raising in this
state Will pay better than any other
STOCK IN proportion to the capital inves-
Ieu, anu Tor these reasons, the drier the
climate the better it is for sheep, and as
all STOCK must necessarily he housed
mere III winter, none pay so we'll for
that attentl0n as sheep. A few per-
sons are OF the opinion that nature has
provided ample protection to the sheep
IN the fleece, but more mistaken no.
ton does not exist: for while no stock
pays SO well, II proper attention is CIV
Ell to it, none is so utterly worthless and
unp1ofitable, if neglected, and suffered
TO be exposed to the inclemency Of the
weather. In this county, to its remo-
test bounds, sheep for mutton alone,
for the supply of the Minneapolis and
st. Paul markets, would amply repay
any investments. Of course l do not
mean to say, or convey the idea, that
pure blood Soutlldown, the finest NUT
ton sheep in the world, or pure Cots
Wol'ls or I.eicesters, at present prices
pay, for mutton. But I do mean to say,
that any farmer who tries the expert
ment did, will find more money in a
grade such as l have mentioned, than
IN any other stock in proportion to the
amount invested. Had the means to
begin again, | would soon convince the
SSkeptlcal of the truth of my opinion,

EDITOR ADvANCE:-From the abund-

The time has come when the fact that
there are many families in this locality
who are actually in want Of the nee
essaries of life can no longer he con-
cealed from the general public. The
necessity for aid is becoming so urgent,
that further attempt to conceal the
facts would be suicidal to our own in
terests. Many of us lost our crops last
year and also this, and the boat that
held us above water so far is abont to
sink, and then it will become neccess-
airy to swim or die. Life boats have
already been sent us. but as many as
can swim alone, grapple for and snatch
them up, there will not he enough to 90
around. l would therefore recommend,
urge and request those whose duty it
is. or may become, to distribute any
aid, to exclude such as can swim or are

''murky'' day Of the season. The real

Summer before last we had two weeks

beautiful Indian Summer weather as

we had some quite hot days in August
but they were SO intersperscd with
cooler ones and with cool refreshing
