HERON LAKE FARMING.

The Thompson-Kenda1l Farm-The Sue
cessfui Use of PulverIzers for Raising
Crops the First Season.
The Thompson-Kendall farm is situated
four to seven miles north of Heron Lake, in
Cottonwood county, near the Des Moines
river. The old breaking is this year, besides
corn and root crops, divided as follows:
Wheat, 1920 acres; oats, 410 acres; barley,
$50 acres; and fax, 1,071 acres, The mana
ger, Mr.. J. j. Kendall, is this season running
nine three-horse breaking teams, with pull
verizers following each pillow. his
purpose being to continue extensively
the experiments which proved successful
last year of raising various
crops on the new breaking. Among other
trials of sod cropping he will, on late May
breaking, plant corn, sugar cane, onions and
beans, and SOW oats. Concerning sod crops
in that section and his experiments, Mr..
Kendall writes as follows, under date of the
22d, to Mr.. G. w. Slayton, of this city:
"Broken in the morning, sown in the
afternoon and the crop up in five days-is
the way we are treating the productive and
responsive sod of southwestern Minnesota
to day, with hope, born of the experiences
or Inc paSG, IuaG We buaIl reap uhFVoSt 6uuQ-
cient to pay the entire cost of
the labor and money expended, the
first cost of the land and a
handsome profit besides. The above aston
ishing results were accomplished during the
past season by parties securing from six and
half to thirteen bushels of flax per acre
from sod broken the same season. 1t seems
to be fact as we'll established as wheat grow
ing that this sod can be utilized the first sea-
son for a number of crops, with certainty
of success, such as flax, oats, potatoes, In

depending mainly upon the energy and tho
roughness of the planter.

The owners of this great farm have also
started in the stock business and have this
spring begun sheep raising with flock of
four hundred sheep.

The Answer of the A. o. U. w.

Mr.. j. B. Brisbin has received the an
swer to the complaint in the case of Wilhel-
nina McQuillan against the United Order
of Ancient workmen, in which suit was
brought for $4,000 damages. The answer
sets forth that at the time the policy vas is-
sued, the society was not incorporated, but
was an association of individuals acting un-
der the instructions of the grand lodge of
Pennsylvania. 1t is also alleged that the de-
ceased husband of plaintiff was admitted to
membership in the society upon the strength
of false representations. That he represen-
ted his physical condition as sound, whereas,
he was afflicted with an incursble disease
from the effects of which he died. The an
swer claims that the society is not liable for
the reason that it was not in existence, as a
corporation, at the time of the application,
and that the deceased was admitted through
fraud.

THE POT ROLLING.

The political pot is beginning to boil at
Chicago. Each train brings to the city
scores of politicians and their helpers, some
in the interest of one candidate aud some in
the interest of another. There are rumors
of all sorts of combinations; each manager
of each different machine makes different
predictions and different calculations as to
the relative strength OF his favorite and bis
rivals; each differs from the other as to the
best mode of procedure. There appears to
be no community of feeling between the re-
spective candidates and their friends, and
each accuses the other of treachery, fraud
and doubIe-dealing. It is difficult to see
how, out of such chaos order can be re-
stored. Yet without somo sort of reconcil-
iation between the factions there can
not be the slightest hope of success.
The situation varies with every hour.
Each accession of recruits for each of the
factions jnspirNa them with renewed hope
and courage. One train may bring large
Blaine delegation with fresh reports from
this or that section of the country, and i'm
mediately the spirits of his sdherents rise to
fever heat. An hour afterwards a large
Grant or Sherman delegation may arrive,
and the Blaine men become respondent and
spprehensive. So it goes, Ikea lettering
board, now up, again down. The only party
that seems to preserve its equilibrium is the
Grant cabal. The leaders from the first have
presented bold front, claiming everything
and conceding nothing. The very audacity
they display has tremendous moral effect,
for people instinctively admire pluck wher-
ever they find it. 1t Is natural, too, for the
undecided to be drawn into the ranks of the
party that shows the greatest confidence of
success-the boldest front. 1t is partly a
knowledge of this quality in human nature
that has induced the Grant men to employ
these tactics. They look for large &C
oessicns from the ranks of the
uninstructed, confident that they will desire
to be on the winning side, even though
thereby they should sink their own individ-
uality. 1t is esteemed an homer, too, by
many weak minded men to be associated
with such men of eminence as are managing
the Grant canvass. They fancy themselves
their associates; in reality they are but their
servants, doing their bidding with slacrity.
It must be confessed that Grant has an
immense advantage in this respect. Even
If it should be true that be has yet minor
ity of the delegates. as his opponents claim,
enough will be secured from the ranks of
the uninstructed and wagering before the
meeting of the convention to carry the day.
The other candidates acknowledge them
selves TO be in the minority. Grant claims
9 majority at the start, and seems to have

ing. Bondholders were scattered all over the
country, and steps might be taken to bring
about a general conference.
Awell-known railroad lawyer said to the re-
porter that the bill appeared to be designed to
enable any holder of Obligations OF any State
to proceed for their collection in the name
of the State Of New York. Under it, said
he, there will be business enough for half
dozen attorney generals, as it will inevitably
lead to making the State of New York
general plaintiff in all the suits that may be
brought against defaulting States of the
Union. The lawyer thought there were no
constitutional objections against the bill, but
he believed there might be legal objections
of good deal of force. By the terms of
the new law every State was affected that
had ever defaulted since 1t came into the
Union.
