ELK TOWNSHIP, August II, 1871.
ED. ADVANCES: Very much has been
said concerning the quantity of sup
plies which will probably be needed 10y
the destitute in the southwest, but it
seems to me the quality should lie ta-
ken into consideration. OF course lux
uries will be out of the question, but is

flour, and if people must live almost
entirely upon bread, why not furnish
that which does the most good for the

that much of the sickness in this local.

never more wish to be without this
most necessary article Of food. Some,
who have already learned it's value,
grind the wheat themselves, in a coffee
mill. This operation is very slow and
laborlous, although a neighbor of mine
prepared some the other afternoon for

MINNESOTA FLOUR.

We have frequently: alluded to the
fact that the new process -four manu-
featured in Minnesota is leading the
markets of the country, and that -four
ing mills are multiplying rapidly
throughout the State. The Minneapolis
Tribune in a recent issue says:
The flour manufactured from MINES.
ota spring wheat by the new process,
peculiar TO our manufacturers, stands
1T the head of the market, commanding
from one to two dollars more per bar
rel in New York than any other flour.
OF course this fact is a very great in
ducement for millers to 60 into the bus
mess here, and consequently our capac-
ity for manufacturing has been nearly
doubled within a year.
One of the bess of these new process
mills is located right here in Worthing-
ton. A gentleman who recently arriv-
ed here from New York says that be
conyersed with the flour dealers in New
York who have been selling the best
brands from our Okabena Mills, and
they informed him that no better flour
was ever sold in the city. Their only
difficulty as to this brand Of flour was
that they could not get enough of it,
So the Sioux City -four merchants pro-
nouncc the Oklahoma brand the best ev-
CT seen in Sioux CITY.

We announced last week the arrival
of Mr.. NJ. W. Carlisle, from Chilli
cothe, Ohio, who is here looking with
reference to engaging in the Milling bu-
siness. Mr.. G. wishing to see some
thing of the wheat region tributary to
Worthington, a trip to Sioux Falls was
proposed and carried unanimously
Accordingly a party consisting Of Mr..
Carlisle, Mr.. G. Z. Sutton, Mr.. Cllas.
Dunning and the editor of the AD-
VANCE, set out on Monday with a good
team and a carriage from Shells
The weather was fine, the roads in good
condition, the country beautiful with
the harvest, and the trip was both
pleasant and profitable.
For five or six miles west of town we
saw beautiful fields of wheat in the
shock. From this on to the county
line, the ravages of the grasshoppers
were more apparent than OH any part
OF the route to Sioux Falls. In places
the corn was ca ten down almost to the
ground, and in others fields were strip
ped of blades.
At the Kanaranzi we noticed a guam.
THY of peat drying, and at the farm
houses beyond we saw the farmers were
using peat. A farmer near the county
line Informed us that the farmers in
that neighborhood were taking out peat
for their winter fuel. We made in.
quiry at Luverne and learned that a
great many farmers in Rock county ex'
pect to burn peat the coming winter
So the peat agitation has had good
effect and farmers are turning these
surface coal mines to account.

TIE GRAIN YIELD.

We are gratitied to learn that the
grain yield is turning out better than
expected. Captain Miner, Of the Ochee-
ia Farm of Miller, Humiston & Co.,
has been threshing during the past
week and the yield il remarkable for a
grasshopper year. On 49, acres Of oats
the yield was 65s bushels, or nearly 49
bushels to the acre. On % acres of
Hoosac wheat, the yield was 600 bush
els or about 214 bushels to the acre
The Hoosac weighs 81 pounds to the
bushel, and the Osaka GO.

CORRESPONDENCE.
FROM SEWARD.

SEWARD, August II, 1872.
EDITOR ADVANCE: Isaiah Williams
has harvested about thirty acres of
grain, and few others have harvested
from ten acres downward, averaging
all the way from four to twelve bushels
per acre. This of course is in conse-
quence of the grasshopper raids. For
this little crop it was hard to get hands
as about all were away harvesting in
other sections. So you see Seward men
are trying to ''help themselves" Hay
is going up fast. Provisions down to
the bottom shelf, but our spirits are as
good as ever. With 4 little good for
tune and our own muscle, Seward will
yet become the most noted township
for fine farms Of any III the State. You
may call this boasting, but time will
tell.

FROM LORdIX.


LoRA1N TOWNSHIP, Aug. 10, ~.
EDITOR ADVANCE: I wish to en-
courage people throughout this county,
to burn hay, for something of the kind
must be done. l am aware that many
do burn it, but there are many who
think they would rather leave than be
compelled to burn hay.
The reason for this is they do not I'M
derstand 4o,o to burn it. 1 will give
you my experience. Perhaps some may
profit by it. ''Drowning men will catch
at straws." We have something much
stronger and better to cling to, in hay,
as substitute for coal and wood and
which will bear us up on the waves and
land us safely through this dark hour.
''The darkest hour is just before day.
so let us hope for dawning into a
brighter future.
My experience is about as follows: l
began about one year ago. Have a
coal stove, which is best suited to burn
ing hay. Fed the stove in front with
loose bundles. Kept stirring and
punching. Had a terrible time of it. "
The consequence was the stove was
covered with ashes; yictuals were too
highly seasoned sometimes. After ex-
perimenting while began to make I'M
provements and soon found it Il COM
plete success. Will now tell you how
we managed it. At present we are just
rs we'll satisfied as though we had soft
wood: Take the long hay, good hand
full, mot upland twist it tight, by be-
ginning III the center and twisting and
joining together till ends meet; then
fasten. Twelve of these bundles will
cook a meal nicely; also bake beautiful
brown bread. Keep the fire place clean.
Do not stir it much. Keep the tlucs
clear in front. The hay will melt down
into a hot coal. Take off stove cover
when you feed. One should have a
building for the purpose III winter
Have a load or two always on hand !;
make the bundles there. by so doing
you will have 4 clean house anda peace
full home. u. +.

RANSOM, Aug. IS, ~.
EDITOR ADVANCE: The harvest has
passed and our people have commenced
blowing for next years crops. We
have been favored with one or two
soaking rains lately which put the
ground in good condition for blowing.
All in this neighborhoed are satisfied
with the result of this years labor,
and are thankful that they have been
permitted to gather enough grain to keep
the ''wolf'' from their doors until such
time as the God of the Universe shall
bless their labors with a bountiful har-
vest. Though their losses by the hop
per invasions are keenly felt, they raise
universal cry Of 'Never Despair - and
with brave hearts and eager hands will
battle Oh until success crowHs their
efforts. Even the women (bless
'em y say they will content themselves
with last years fashions, cook with hay
fires and wear brogans before they will
surrender their prairie homes to the de-
spoilers Of our crops! AS proof Of
their integrity to the interests of this

will put q much greater breadth of
