5000 tons of hay for Forts Keough and Gus
ter, the contract price being 1913 per ton.

coed $18. Thus himself and partners realize
a profit of 100000.
Pennington Dakota county, Press, Sept.
25: A Lakeville correspondent reports: AS
the sweating process is supposed to be over,
threshlng has commenced again in good
earnest, but with very varied results, the
yield of wheat ranging from four to twenty
five bushels per acre.
the town of Nunda, threshed his wheat from
TWENTY-FIVE acres, last week, and it yielded
twenty bushels to the acre, weighing sixty
pounds to the bushel. It was of the Fife
variety. Mr.. Foster, his next neighbor, only
got about five bushels to the acre, his wheat
being the Lost Nation.
Sank Center (Stearns county, Herald !.
Mr.. @. Truman threshed his wheat last week,
and got CTS bushels from 80 acres-a yield
of little over 81 bushels to the acre. Owing
to the lodged and tangled condition of the
grain, great deal was wasted in harvesting,
and Mr.. Truman estimates that tie yield
would have been fully twenty-five bushels, if
it had been all saved.
GAINESVILLE (Waseca county, Argus, Get /:
Very little wheat is coming in yet. Not
enough to keep the Banner and Reliance
mills running. Farmers are not in hurry
to thresh this season, and many are in no
haste to sell at present prices even when the
grain is threshed. Gosper and Hosmer are
pushing the sorghum making and are doing
good work. The amber cane makes beauti-
full syrup this year, and we believe consider
able sugar will be made.
Little Falls Morrison county Transcript,
Sept. 26: Last week the wheat buyers in this
place got to bidding against each other, and
IAN the price up to 81 cents per bushel,
which price was paid by Houde on Thurs
day. The buyers are still paying st. Paul

They now ship their wheat t, the East via
Duluth, and are thereby enabled to pay sew
eral cents bushel more than they could by
sending to the Minneapolis mills.

2: Mr.. Henry Hoover, of Cannon City, has
brought into our office some corn of the
kind known as Compton's Early, which was
planted on the Goth day of June, and yet
ripened nicely. Last year Mr.. FL. planted
one pound of Burbank Seeding potatoes
from which he harvested 1876 pounds of
choice potatoes. This year, from one and
one-half bushels of seed he raised fifty
bushels. Considerable wheat is being mark
eted in Dundas, the price paid ranging from
SO to 80 cents for new and $1.OO for old.
New Ulm Brown county, Herald, Sept.
81: No. wheat will yield within one
pound as much flour as last years No. 1,
and the flour is allowed to be particularly
good. That is the difference in point Of
yield between the two grades is only a frac-
ton over per cent. But the difference in
the money which mills and elevators Offer
for the two grades is still nearly per cent.
after the recent revision of prices by the
Millers' association. How is this? Farm
ers ought to be able to get more yet for their
No. 3 wheat.

wheat in seven hours. Lars Nelson, of Lake
Andrew, raised 424 bushels of wheat from
fourteen acres, or nearly thirty and one third
bushels to the acre. The receipts of wheat
here are not very heavy as yet, probably not
averaging more than 1000 bushels day
Threshing has been very much DELAYED
farmers being SO far behind with their hay
ing that it has been almost impossible to gel
sufficient help to run the machines.
Madelia (Watonwan county, z'snaes, Sept.
81: We learn that an acre of amber cane.
raised by Geo. Ash, will yield about SOC
gallons of syrup. IF he receives half tina,
quantity of syrup after paying for making, al
SO cents per galloi:, will return him SIS
pretty good sum from one acre. From ou1
observations, we judge that the price between
grades of wheat will be lessened, as it proves
there is not as much difference in the grades
in the yield of -four. One gentleman in
formed us that he took some wheat to ou1
mill for which in New Ulm he could gel
offered but "a pounds in -four so low was The
grade by weight, and he received about 81
pounds per bushel here.
