Capt. James Edwards, of Superior
City, Wisconsin-A Jolly Excur-
sion on his Steamer the Stillman
Wltt-Superior VS.. Duluth.

From The Brainerd Tribune.
While in Duluth, last week, we
had the pleasure of an introduction
to Capt. James Edw ards, Of Supe-
rior City, Wisconsin, a jolly, whole
hearted man, such as we seldom
meet in this cold, selfish world, and
it does one good 10 get acquainted
with, as it helps hun to forget the
rough, untrelIng side Of things gen
orally, and sharpcns the tender feel
ings blunted by contact with the
heartleSsnesS and cruelty of human
lty in general.
We were very kindly invited by
the Captain, IN company with Bro.
VI. G. Russell, late Of the Duluth
Herald, to take little excursion on
his trim httle steamer, the "Stilman
WITT which OF all things else we
most desired al that time as the day
was tiue and we had a peculiar sort
of longing to be ''out at sea, like
Accordingly at one o'clock p. NJ g,
sharp, we-that i, Bro. Russell,
wife aud family, and we ditto, were
"alI aboard" and away We steamed
across the bay to Superior CITY, a
distance of seven miles. Here We
made a halt OF an hour to view /, e
city. We went with the Captain
to his residence, where we met Mrs
Edwards, a lady of the Captains

Duluth is taxed or his cabin and

The worst feature of Superior
City, at present, is the fact that
most OF the land in and about the
city is owned by non-rc>idcnt>, who,
Knowing what its future is sure to
be, refuse to sell land or lots at any
reasonable rates, but hold them at
fabulous figures, thus retarding the
settling up of the place and the
business to which she is even now
entitled, and we have no doubt tend
ing to delay the final cons ummation
OF her greatness.

a section Or64O acres. About three
fourths of it is meadow, balance
prairie and timber. The meadow
is the best natura one | have ever
seen, and yields luxurlant growth
of the blue joint and red TOP
grasses. They have put up over
800 tons of hay, which they intend
to bale and ship to the Lake mar
ket. We found them buSily en-
gagged in getting on to their ground
a large Perpetual Ballng Press,
made by Dederlck, Of Albany, N.
Y. The Railroad Company, appre-
eating the magnitude Of this en-
terprise of Messrs. Hayes and Bar
don, are putting in a side track for
them opposite their land, so that
they can conviently ship their hay.
They will ship about 40 car loads
Of hay-qulte an item of business
for the road. Another year they
expect to make 1000 tons.
There are yet many choice tracts
of land in the neighborhood Of Wa
dena and at other points along the
line which can be secured by home
stead or presumption or at low rates
from the Railroad Company by using
bonds. Settlers are filing up the
vacant lands along the road quite
rapidly; those who came two or
three years ago have now good
improvements, some stock and are
in most cases comfortable. In the
neighborhood of Wadena the grass
hoppers have never done any dam
age, they appearing to shun a
country having timber. They
visited the country further west, but
without very serious effect.

I at first intended, but after seeing

An Interesting Description of that
Section and of what Some of Our
Superiorites are Doing.
SUPERIOR, Sept. 8, 1875.

Railroad, it has occurred to me thai
a few items regarding the country
may not be unlnteresting to your
readers. Despite the drought ii
the early part aud middle Of the
season, and the grasshoppers, crops
of all kinds look well. The wheat
crop, where it was saved before the
recent rains, though not quiet up
with average in quantity, will exceed
it in quality. 1t is to be regretted
that much wheat, both standing and
cut, has been damaged by the late
rains. Oats and other grains prom
Use WE'LL. and the potato crop is
large. The hay crop is not heavy
but the quality is very good, rem
dered especially SO by the dry
weather which extended all through
the haying season.
Stock raising is beginning to as,
sumo considerable proportions along
the line. Already stock markets
are established at several points,
and cattle are shipped east to sup
ply our mines and west for the gov
ernment forts and Indian Agencies.

can Lake, south Of Detroit, have

The following paragraphs will show
how one newspaper publisher deals
with this subject:
We long ago adopted the plan of
charging our regular reading notice
price for all editorial announcements
of entertainments to which an Admis-
sion fee is affixed. We make no eX-
ception to this rule, however deserving
the cause or beneficial the charity. In
all these cases, where n subscription
appeal is made to our neighbors, we are
vely glad to subscribe our fair proper
ton, m~an-fashion, in cash, for the
cause but we must, so far as our col
umns are concerned, use all parties
alike. In this position we find our
selves in harmony with the practice
of every sensible publisher in this
country.
In the way of news topics, we freely
and gladly insert sketches of all enter
/ tainments after they have become mat
tiers of history. 1t is only the prelim.
mary work, looking to the drawing out
Of increased patronage from the pub
lie, for which we expect compensation.

Use of Fertilizers.

The Department of Agriculture, in
sending out its March circulars of in
quiry to the 1912 counties in which 1t
now has correspondents, added to the
| usual list of questions three II four on
the use and dissemination of CONNER
cial fertilizers. The answers received
are interesting in several respects. We
give the following extract from the
published report:
1.-THE mi of farm animals is
seen to be the main reliance for sus-
\ tanning fertility. Commercial f%ertiliz-
| ers-organic and mineral-are some
| what in use in New England, especial
/ ~ in Maine and Massachusetts,, includ-
\ ing quantities of fish refuse and sea-
| weed. They are also used sparingly in
| the Middle States but the cheaper
minerals, lime and plaster, and still
cheaper green-manuring, monopolize a
large proportion of the percentages
credited to other fertilizers The South
Atlantic States from Maryland to
Georgia, inclusive, use not only the
largest proportion of manipulated fer
tilizers, but the largest quantity in
comparison with other sections. The
cost of such material amounts to mill
tilizing matter is applied TO the soil
from Alabama westward, with the sim
gle exception of such quantities of cot
ton seed as are not required for seeding
and for a few oil-mills. In the eastern
portion of the Ohio Valley experiments
are tried with commercial fertilizers by
a few progressive farmers, and the use
of clover as a fertilizer is considerably
practiced there by immigrants from
Maryland and Pennsylvania. The re-
mainder of the country has heretofore
practiced the draining of farm-yard
manures into creeks and rivers, or the
lent accumulations or, if they all have
not literally adopted this practice, they
have not indicated much faith in the
necessity of manuring. And yet these
L TttuIuS SnOW TIA tnt ldiltS vi lOWu
and Minnesota, and even of Illinois,
are made to bear an increase of twenty
to thirty per cent. by a single expert
ment in green-manuring."
The opinion is expressed that al
though gradual progress is taking place
in the appreciation and employment OF
manure and commercial fertilizers,
there are nevertheless one-half the
counties of the United States in which
agriculture is carried on "almost liter
ally without fertilizers of any sort and
another fourth with the casual aid of
green manuring, or alittle lime, or plas-
ter, or cotton seed, or a 'cow-penned''
lot, or some trifing saving of farm
yard manure" The conclusions reach
ed are these:
"First, the use of fertilizers is becom-
ing more general and more discrimi-
mating; second, few, if fanny, soils in the
country are so rich that they cannot be
made more productive by judicious fer
tilization third, farm-yard manures
are the best for general use; green ma
nuring is the cheapest means of soil
renovation, and commercial fertilizers
are useful for quick results and for spe-
cific purposes"
