SEEDING 10 GRAss N THE FALL.-A cor-
respondent writes This has recently be-
come customary and is practiced with sue
cess ia this quarter ii the seed is sown as
soon a the first OF September. Grass then
takes entire possession Of the land, aud a
heavy crop is cut q, early as the middle Of
July. Ii the seeding is postponed until No
yember, 50 late as not TO start until spring,
much of the seed does not grow, red top aud
clover especially, while weeds often get the
start Of the grass, aud the first crop is nearly
or quite lost Ground seeded for moving
the next year, should be seeded early to Sc
cure the best results, and then il seldom lis.

What our correspondent says, agrees en-
tirely with our own experience; aud we par
ucularly favor summer and early fall seeding
to grass, because grain crop not being
taken from the land, the grass gets the whole
benefit Of whatever manure is applied. Grass
Is our best crop aud it is bad policy TO rob
that for the benefit of a less profitable one

AlERiNo SHEEP Al rHE STATE FAIR
4 correspondent of the CoUnhy Gentleman,
writing of our recent State Fair, says As
might be expected in Vermont, Merinos were
out in large numbers, from the nocks Of
Perkins, Stickuey, Burrell, Boariman, STOW.
ell. Mead, Bolton, Fuller and other breeders
whose names are familiar wherever Merinos
are kept. There was considerable difference
in appearance aud style OF the sheep shown f.;
some being smooth with wool OF good
length, while others were well wrinkled and
with gummy heeces The Judges, in their
IMPORT, commented on this difference, and
gave it as their opinion that wool Of long
staple and free from oil in great degree
(what is called "dslaiue wool y is most in
demand at the present day, aud that breeders
would find it to their interest to breed that
style of wool Their opinion carries much
weight with it, as they were breeders Of note
themselves, George W. Campbell, of West
minister, being the chairmau) aud were quail
fled to speak int-lligently a. to the financial
aspects of the question: from personal ex-
perience. According 10 their report, the
necessary qualifications OF Meriuo are
good constitution, compact frame, smooth
skin Gree from wrinkles or rols) and a
fleece of long staple free from oil in a great
degree, compact and even over the whole sur
face. Some of the sheep shown filed these
requirements To gratifying extent.

blowing as follows " by experience and oh.

Christmas day services. On Christmas
Gay the services were we'll attended and
were impressive and interesting.
At the Methodist Church the festivi-
ties did not take place till Christmas
night, when the congregation and Sun
day School children had a sociable, at
which they all enjoyed themselves.
The statement Of the Argus that
there are forty three places in this city
where liquors are sold, is being general
ly copied by the papers of the State, to
the injury of the reputation of the city.
Without knowing whether that state
ment is true or not, as we have but lit
tie to do with saloons, we must say that
there is but little drunkenness in this
city. In this respect it will compare
favorably with any city in the State.
THIS morning two lads aged nine or
ten years, one son of DR.. Hawley and
the other Of Mr.. Me}ott, were coasting
down the hill near the Intersection of
Fourth and Pine streets, when their
sled ran into Mr.. Gustave johnson $
fence, and they were both severely hurt.
Young Melott had the flesh badly strip
ped from one of his legs, for distance
Of several inches, and young Hawley
was injured on the leg and received a
severe wound in his face.

MEssRs. S. T. LEAv1rT g. Co., Of
Milwaukee, have bought out the hard
ware stock and business of Mr.. Thos.
Wilkinson, on Main street south side,
between Plum and Bush, and intend to
continue the business in that locality.
These gentlemen come hither with ex-
cellent endorsements as enterprising
and careful business men, thoroughly
competent to manage successfully the
business of this old and popular estab-
lishment and maintain the high reputa-
ton it has SO long borne; and from what
we learn Of them, they will no doubt
be valuable acquisitions to the business
circles of this city.
To MASTERS OF ORANGES IN GooD.
HUE CoUNTY.-The necessary steps
have been taken to organize county or
Pomona Grange for this county; All
Masters and Past Masters with their
wives who are Matrons are entitled to
membership; each grange in addition
to this, can elect three delegates, who
who on presentation of certificate of
such election are entitled to all the
privileges Of the organization. It is
proposed to institute the grange as
near the middle of January as possible
and it will be necessary to elect the
delegates at the first meeting of each
grange, let it be done promptly, and
notify me of such election, with the
names of the delegates, and all others
who propose to unite at the organiza-
ton; due notice will be given of time
and place. Fraternally Yours,
W. S. GRow, Dep'y
The PArRoN's MUTUAL BENEFIT
Assoc1AT1oN.-At the last meeting of
the Goodhue County Council P. Of H.
the initiatory steps were taken toward
the formation of a Mutual Benefit As
ISOLATION, for the Patrons of this coun-
ty. The constitution provides for a
Vice President in every grange. The
fee for membership is 1910, and $1.l0
to be paid on the death of member.
1t is now proposed to complete this or.
ganization at the time of the formation
Of the Pomona or county grange, aobut,
the middle Of January. Let each
grange elect one Of its delegates to the
Pomana Grange Vice President and
each member of the order, who wishes
| to share the benefits of this benevolent
organization, send in his or her name
with the initiation fee by such Vice
President. This may be made most
useful organization with little effort
and let it not fail through neglect.

apparelled and sustained their parts
well, and the sailors added handsome
feature to the party. The circus men
were hardly in commendable taste, for
as nudity is not a mask, the approaches
to it are just that much removed from
true masquerading attire. It may be
true that "beauty unadorned is adorned
the most" but this does not hold good
of maskers at fancy ball.
The lady maskers were equally well
attired as the gentlemen, and several of
the dresses worn were both rich and
beautiful. The gipsey was well acted,
but she sat down on the floor amazing
ly like boy, and one of the "young
ladies" had uncommon big hands for a
girl.
The supper was served in the dining
hall, in the basement of the building,
by Mr.. F. Diffenbach and Was excellent.
It comprised great variety Of dishes,
cooked in the best manner and served
with excellent taste, and was evidently
highly enjoyed by the crowd that par
took Of it. The oysters served were a
very choice article and the coffee and
tea were excellent.
Altogether the ball and supper were
successful in every respect, and conduct
ed in a very orderly and happy manner.
The only "drawbacks" present were
those worn by the ladies, and the only
"tig hts' those of the "circus men"
maskers.

DR.. H. 5. HUMPHREYS, Of Eau Claire,
Wis.,, the famous specialist for chronic
diseases and surgical deformities, pro-
poses to spend the 18th Gay of every
month during the coming year in this
city, making his headquarters at the
St. James Hotel. The doctor is reg
ular graduate of the Royal College of
Physicians and Surgeons of London,
from which institution he received his
diploma, and he has had extensive prac-
tice in the treatment of the diseases to
which he especially devotes his atten-
ton. Our readers who happen to be
afflicted with ailments of this charac.
ter may rely on his skill and integrity,
for he is endorsed by several of the
ablest physicians and most worthy citi-
zens of Wisconsin and this State, and
will not encourage treatment unless
there is good reason to believe that
cure will follow. The doctor is now
erecting in Eau Claire building eighty
by fifty-eight feet and three stories high,
for the reception Of patients afflicted
with chronic complaints and deformities
which surgery is competent to remedy,
where he may be able to treat them
with greater convenience and surer
prospects of success. The establish
ment will be ready early in July next,
and be furnished and supplied with
nurses, assistants and appliances espec-
Tally for this humane purpose, and there
is no doubt but that it will become a
means Of bene6ting many sufferers who
have almost abandoned hope. Let such
call On him when he comes to Red
Wing, as the consultation will cost them
nothing more than the trouble of making
the visit.

The NATIONALS D1NNER.-t'Talk-

Of ours, @'Field, Of the National, got up
one Of the best things of the kind it has
been my luck to sit down to, on last
Saturday. The table was set-well
you know how Fields table is set. If
his is frame house Of the olden time,
there's nothing in the big hotel line in
this country that can beat his table.
His ordinary style is equal to the holi.
day style of most hotels, and you may
imagine that his holiday style is-let's
see, what do you call it?''
"Recherche p we suggested.
No, chef d enure, ne plus ultra, regu-
lar Delmonico. Why, sir, there We're
three kinds of soup, three sorts of fish,
four dishes of boiled and twelve of roast
meats, eight Of game, twenty-one Of

eighteen Of vegetables, fourteen of past

dessert. One hundred and twenty nine
different articles of fare!"
"And at hotel table %
"Aye, at a hotel table! One hundred
and twenty-nine different substantials
and luxuries, and all cooked in the very
best manner and served in a style that
can hardly be surpassed. Then in the
Wine Department there were twenty
two varieties of wines and liquors!'
This was the rapturous encomium
pronounced by one Of the diners at the
National Hotel on Christmas day, on
the dinner he had eaten, and other less
enthusiastic partakers of that meal soy
that the dinner was not over-praised.
That it was really famous dinner.
