The Singer Sewing Machine.

Though peculiarly and wholly
American in its birth and boyhood
is now in the ripe manhood of its
usefulness, COSMOPOLITAN in it's
broadcast sense, for it is indeed found
everywhere and used in most every
family.
The editor tries to hunt up
facts and bring to the notice of his
readers things that are useful.
During the few years the Singer
manufacturing company has been at
work, three million Of their machines
have been made and sold for cash.
Not one of these failed to work as
buyers wished. Bad as the times
have been, nearly three hundred
thousand Singer machines were sold
last year. And we learn, too, that
with several immense factories at
work in our own and other countries,
turning out about six thousand ma
chimes weekly, the company is una
bic to supply the increasing demand,
and that Geo. r. Mckenzie, the
general mansger has sailed for Eu-
rope to make arrangements there for
a larger supply of the foreign de-
mand.
The history of this vast industry
reads like fairy tale, yet all is
strictly true. The secret of all is
net in pushing, in advertising &C.,
but in the inherent value of the arti-
Gle itself, and its admitted superiori-
ty over all others.
We are in no wise interested, own
no stock, the Co. don't even adver-
'tise in our columns, but for the benz
fit Of our readers we are bound to
state facts as they are verified to us.

Raising Colts.

There is a crude notion prevailing
that hardships make young stock
hardy. A colt that is weaned in the
fall, which is commonly the case,
should not be allowed to become
poor in the first winter. 1t is true
that it will often improve SO rapid in
spring that its wetched condition in
the winter will seem really to have
been an advantage to it, but this is a
very grave mistake.
IF the same condition were i'm
posed during the whole period of
growth the effect would be very per-
ceptible. Although the summer
may in some degree remove the ef-
feet of winter, no animal 50 treated
ever becomes what it might have
been in size, symmetry of form, and
usefulness by generous treatment.
There is a profit in breeding nice
carriage and draft horses. As gen.
eral rule it costs no more to raise a
good colt than poor one, while the
former will bring two or three times
as much as the latter. A dark stable
is very poor place to keep colt

Not even the COW should receive

Kindness is always well repaid by

Fruit Trees.

Apples to be hardy should be
grown in the climate where it is in
tended for them to remain. Hun
dreds of thousands Of trees brought
to this state from New York, Ohio,
and Wisconsin have only given dis
appointment to the planter, and it
was not until Minnesota men began
at the foundation and raised their
trees from the seed and graft up that
success began to crown the efforts of
the Minnesota fruit grower. o. F.
Brand of the Faribault Nursery was
one of the first men to embark in the
enterprise, and to-day large bearing
orchards bought from his nursery
can be found in all parts of the state
from La Crosse up to Fergus Falls.
Many fine orchards are to be found
in the counties of Pope Douglass
and Meeker. He is now Offering to
the people of Redwood and the sur
rounding country a large assortment
of the hardest trees to be found in
the world, including crab apples,
sweet and sour, summer fall and
winter, Minnesota Seeding apples,
sixty-five varieties of Russian apples,
evergreens, grapes, roses, strawber.

(CONINUNICArED.)

There is not an empty house in
the Village of Redwood Falls, there
is now and will be growing de-
mand for tenement houses. Some
one with capital will do we'll to look
into the matter here.
Every train that arrives brings
some one in search of business loca.
ton. The Village Of Redwood
Falls, has many attractions and one
cannot pass along any of the princi-
pal streets without meeting and see-
ing strange faces on every hand.
and tAe cry is ''still they come"
We know there are many young
men in this village who earnestly
hope for warm weather and unless
this Wish is gratitied the GAZETTE
will be called upon to chronicle the
death of more than one promising
young man if the man who manu-
features hair mattresses should hap
pen to visit this town and foreclose
his mortgage on the burnsides of
some of these young gentlemen du-
ring this c;ld spell of weather. Sad
would be the result; those burnsides
would compare favorably with down
on a gosling.
Let us have a change! This
mania is becoming a nui-
sance. What practical benefit is it
to the world whether man or wom-
an can walk q million
miles in a million
seconds, or three miles in an honest
hour. We will suggest that we
have a change. Suppose a wood
contest be arranged between
q couple of these ambitious athletics,
our wood pile is ready at any time for
such a contest. If a man can saw
q cord of wood in All hour it lie some
thing worth talking. There is util-
ity as well as fame in such an &C
complishment. Let us have 3
change of this character. Remem-
Der our wood pile is always open to
contests.
