REDWOOD FALLS MINNESOTA. THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 6 1875

| Col. Girart Hewitt, Of St. Paul, hal
written . very excellent letter setting
forth some Of the advantages Of Min.
nesota. 1t is too long for our column,
but We give the following extract.
The world should be told that We
have here in the centre Of the cont.
nent state with an estimated area Of
6fty.four million acres, of which less
than three million acres are under cul
tlvation, and that instead Of claiming
Of the world its charity, We have this
year raised thirty five million bushels
Of wheat-better wheat aud more to
the acre than any state or territory
ever has or can produce that our
crops Of oats, barley, rye and potatoes
are equally good that We are matur.
ing corn crop that entities US TO rank
proudly among the corn growing states
Of the west. Young as We are, We to-
day staod at the head Of the wheat
growing states of the union, and this
is proud historical contribution to
the centennial; not only ahead in
quantity, but far ahead in quality
quality that makes our wheat bring as
much in our fields as the wheat Of
some states brings when it reaches
eastern markets! Tell them that these
crops are raised on lands that are
boug ght at from one doller to twenty
dollars per acre, and men often clear
their entire farm and all expenses out
of the first crop; that farming here is
done with half the labor required in
New York and New England; that
such is the vigor men enjoy in this
climate that a man can d. as much
field labor here in one day as he can
in some states in two; that SO much
of our farming here is done by machin
cry that but little is left that is lrk-
some or forbidding in farm life that
We have market at our door, that
our bread rivers and our two thousand
miles of railroads traverse our entire
territory and give every section OF our
state q market; that We have eight
rival routes to the east, one by the way
Of our own lake port at Duluth, anoth-
er progressing toward Bayfield,, also on
Lake Superior, the great water route
Of the continent; that We have the
Mississippi river as an outlet to the
Gulf and eight competing lines Of rail-
road connecting Us with Chicago, St.
Louis and the east. Tell them that
We have climate uuequsled for CON-
fort and health the year round, that
our winters, upon the severity Of which
our rivals 50 much delight to dwell,
are by many preferred to our summers
pleasant as they are conceded to be ;
that We are above sad beyond the re.
gion in which malarial influences pre-
vail; that the health of oar people
when eontrasted with the middle, south
aud southwestern states, is alone sufi-
cient to determine thinking men. Tell
them Of these things aud that We have
here already seven hundred thousand
people that We can justly boast Of
possessing the most magnificent endow-
nent for educational purposes of any
state in the union that we have more
good land and at more reasonable pri-
ces THAI can be had elsewhere that
we have pine forests to furnish lum.
Der for ages, and in portions Of our
state mineral wealth that will tell upon
our future.

ABOUT SICK AN1MALs.-Nearly all
sick animals become so by improper
feeding. 10 the first place, Nine cases
out Of ten the digestion is wrong,
Charcoal is the most efficient and rap

Of cases if properly administered. An
example Of its uses: The hired man
came in with the Intelligence that one
of the finest cows was very sick, and a
kind peignbor proposed the usual
drugs aud poisons. The owner being
ill aud unable to examine the COW, con
clu led that trouble came from over
eating, and ordered a teaoupful Of pull
verized charcoal to be given in water
1t was mixed, plaoeo in a junk bottle,
the head turned upward, and the water
turned downward. In Eve minutes
improvement was visible, and IN few
hours the animal was in pasture quietly
grazing.
Another inztance Of equal success
occurred with young heifer which
had become badly bloated by eating
green apples after hard wind. The
bIoat was SO severe that the, side, were
almost as hard as q barrel. The old
remedy, salaratus, was tried for cor.
recting the acidity. But the attempts
to put it down always caused coughing
and it did lite good. Half a teacup-
full of fresh powdered charcoal was
given. Insix hours all the appearance
Of the bloat had gone, and the heifer

A SINGULAR RIVERA New York
Herald correspondent, writing from
the Black His, ssys: "a most re-.
markable stream vas discovered and
appropriately named Amphibious creek
Its waters sink into and rise from tho
earth many times in their journey from
their original spring to the south fork
Of the Cheyenne. A we'll worn bed
extends all the way, showing that 10
the wet season = torrent flows on tho
surface: but at the present time not .
vestige Of the current may be sesu for
miles after it disappears, until it sud-
denly bubbles up again from the rocks
and rolls onward to the next point Of
descent into its subterranean channel.
Streams of this character are 50 com.
mon on the great plains that they ars
not thought remarkable, but theY are
rarely found among mountains, for tho
reason that the substrata is usually
composed Of solid rock lying not far
below the surface, and affordiog no
room for a subpassage through the sand
if that should happen to compose the

Stick to the Farm.

We can number half dozen Of ou
farmer acquaintance who have, within
the last year or two, been luyed t
financial destruction by the glamour o
speculation. And going back ten year.
and carefully looking up the history o.
the men We know, who have left the
farm to engage in trade, We find thai
not one in ten has succeeded.
A recent case has come to our know
cd &c that is full of instruction to those
who are tempted to leave the farm
By his own exertions alone this farmer
had accumulated . handsome compe.
tence, aud At the age Of fifty could
look with pride over his broad acres OF
rich land, his 6ae herds and focks, and
comfortable building8 He was out Of
debt, and had : handsome surplus in
the bank. Two years ago, in an evil
hour, he vas induced to invest in a
dry goods store. Last Fall his farm
aud stock were sold for debt, and he is
reduced to the necessity Of day labor
to support his large and yet dependent
family. All the accumulation of over
thirty years Of hard toil-many of them
years Of privatiou, hardships, and the
closest economy-swept away 10 few
short months by this demon. specula-
tion.
And this is not a solitary case.
Every reader can count similar ones in
his own list of acqusintances. They
all teach one great lesson-stick to
your legitimate business, the business
in which you have succeeded. "Let
we'll enough alone" 4 man who has
lived all his life on a farm stands but
little chance to compete successfully
with the men who have been educated
and trained for speculative pursuits
The two occupations are extremes
honest toll At one end, and the tricks
Of trade at the other. If you have =
good farm, keep it, improve it, adorn
it, be proud OF it, and when you are
done with it, hand it down to your
children the best inheritance, with a
good name and education, that you
could leave them.-[Ohio Farmer.

WHAT more acceptable New Years
gift could be given to Il distant friend,
who formerly resided in Andrew
county, than to send him a copy of the

him equal to a weekly letter from home!
More than that, for no letter would con

TN MEMORIAM.

On the 18th day Of january, 1875. at
her residence, one mile east of Savan-
nah, Andrew county, Missouri, Mrs.
Frances Earls departed this life-aged
IS years, 8 months and / days.
She was born and raised in Boone
county, Kentucky, and removed with
her husband, Johnathar Earls, to Clay
county, Mo, in the fall of 1888. and re-
manned during the winter; then removed
to Andrew county, Mo-, i'll the spring of
1899, and located on the present farm,
where she lived for 30 years. She
has been a kind and affectionate moth
er, and leaves Il family of eight children,
who deeply mourn her loss.
For many years this aged mother
sought to love and follow Jesus. She
protested faith in Christ and united with
the Baptist Church in Boon county,
kentucky, and has been a faithful men,
Der of the same branch of Christ's
church, until death. Very suddenly and
Unexpectedly her spirit was summoned
from the body, without a struggle. In
her sudden death, we are reminded OF
the uncertainty of human life, and the
Importance of being in a state of readi-
ness. While her sudden departure is a
source of sorrow to her friends, how
much better for her than to linger, suffer
and pine away.
No sickness, or sorrow, or pain,
Shall ever disquiet her now;
For death to her spirit was gain,
Since Christ was her life here below.
Her soul has now taken its flight
To mansions OF glory above,
To mingle with angels of hight.
And dwell in the kingdom of love.
o! what a transition! from a world Of
care, tears and affection, to the land that
knows no clouds, no Affections, and no
tears.
