MINOR ARRTV4LN


The ADVANCE feature Of "Minor Ar
rivals" seems to have stirred up the pa
pers in other places to make note of
this interesting and agreeable method
Of securing settlers. The Winona Re
publican, Of July 1st, has an extended
article upon the subject which opens as
follows:
This is a great summer for babies in
Winona. Three ton Founders were
ushered into this breathing world SIM
ultaneously OH Sunday night, while the
late arrivals of lesser calibre NAV be

Said u gentleman to this reporter, yes

son-the most prolific, in fact, I have
ever known. Why, l can stand here at
my gate and throw stones into the

come to light within four days. I tell
you business is brisk ; the city is on the
high road to prosperity, and we are pre-
pairing to astonish the next taker of
the census. MI; opinion is that the
Board of Education Ought to make az
rangements for building another new
school house right away. 1t will he
needed" The reporter looked him in the
eye and saw that he was man of truth.
Presently he had auricular proof, that
what had just been impaired to him by
the man of family was not all fable,
for, through the open doors and win
dows of the seven stonable dwellings
there came to his ear the unmistakable
music of infantile humanity. The
newly arrived immortals were evident
~ trying to out-squall each other, and
when the twins lifted their lusty voices
in concord and chimed in with the cho-
rus, the chain Of evidence was com
plete. Fancy this prosperous state of
things to prevail throughout the CITY
as we are assured that it does-and the
dullest immagination may conceive
what IN lst he the immediate and re-
mote consequences of this unpreceden-
ted fecundity.
We wish to repeat what we said week
before last to our eastern friends, that
if they want health, wealth and the
sum of all other: blessings, plump and
rosy children, let them come to Mime
sofa.

EMPLOYMENT FOR THE DESTITUTE.
A farmer writes to the St. Paul Press,
from Albert-I.ca, Freedom county, that
500 men can find permanent employ
mcnt in Freeborn county alone during
the next three months, and perhaps
constantly, and that fifty girls can find
tirst-class places in the village Of AL
bertLea to do houscwork.
Hon. Ebenczer Ayers writes from
Cottage Grove to the Pioneer that men
wanting work during harvest can Sc.
cure it there, and if they will bring
their wives with them that fifty mar
ried women could find good quarters,
kind treatment and good wages for at
least six weeks from the first of August,
in that vicinity alone" Here is an op.
portunity for those who need work.
Many of the sufferers from the grass
hoppers in this section might avail
themselves of this and similar offers, if
all arrangement could he made with
the railroad Company to carry them.

trains, Including mail and express
earnings have been, for those months,
"a $40 cents per train mile, and the ex-
pense of those trains (including only
ordinary expenses) have been "a 1-1O
cents per train mile.
If taxes, insurance, and Illinois Gen.
trail rent were added, our Iowa l,assen-
gers carried during those months, have
actually cost us about 6 cents per pass
enger mile.
Our passenger trains are first-class
trains, run at over twenty miles All
hour, make all desirable connections
and run at such hours of the day as
will best accommodate the people all
along the line of the road, and the To-
cal fare is five cents per mile.
We cannot run these trains any
cheaper than they have been run, nor
have we any money in reserve to pay
expenses not earned. We cannot re.
duce the fare to four cents per mile and
keep these trains running.
Without desiring to invite any con-
troversy with the people along our line,
whose convenience we are trying to &C.
comodate, and whose goodwill we es.
pecially desire to retain, we propose to
continue these trains on their present
time, and at the present rates of fare.
If it shall appear that the people, or
any considerable number of them are
unwilling to pay this price for this kind
of accommodation these trains will be

We shall esteem it q favor if the sew

FARMERS DEPARTMENT.
WHEN TO CUT GRASS.


The Ohio Farmer says: In New York
and the New England States, the ex-
perience of farmers goes to prove that
hay made from grass cut while in tie
most succulent state, even before it has
s eeaae &c.,, ma Makes Hottor h s;,;e especially
growth, while III Ohio the greater por-
tion of the farmers find that grass
should stand until in bloom at least,
many advocating that it should not be
cut until the seed has formed. But
one point is generally agreed to, and
that is, when the meadow gets into the
right condition for cutting, it should
be mown and gathered as speedily rs
possible.
WHEN TO CUT GRAIN.
The Rural World says: 1t is now
generally conceded that the proper
time to cut grain is when the earliest
part of the crop has passed from the
milky into the dough state. When
much harvesting is to be done with a
limited amount Of help, if the weather
is favorable, it is safe to commence
cutting wheat when the straw, as seen
from distance, appears green, but
closely examined is found to he ap-
proximating to yellow, and the grain
itself on being separated from the
chat, is pulpy and soft but not in the
milky stage.
Wheat must not be cut too soon. If
cut in the milky state,-that is as soon
as the juice of the kernel begins to
whiten,-it will cause the grain to
shrink 80 much that the loss from this
source will be equally as great if not
greater, than where it has been cut so
late that from one to two bushels per
acre are lost by Smelling out when cut.
