!; 4 THE TERN ANA CONDA.
It is now confidently reported TIN
the Northwestern has secured contrt
of the st. Paul & Sioux City lines. ~
Sioux City Journal says that the carr
ports of the St. Paul line are now mad
out on Northwestern blanks and seq
to Chicago instead Of st. Paul and t
machine shops at Sioux City also repoa
to the Northwestern. The change
is said, includes the absorption of til
Sioux City & Pacific. = -
We rather hope the rumor is true an
that the two great Aaron's rods whioa
are swallowing down the small CARTE
snakes will begin to compete" wit
each o, her for the business Of this couE
. try and give us the long-looked-for bes
eft of competition. If we could no'
induce the Milwaukee to'run a branc
into Worthington, we should all be 4
happy as railroads could make us. !
Weunderstand that the lands throus1
here are not included in any of the r
cent transfers, the consolidation 1nclua
ing only the lines of road. At frs
glance, it looks as though this would 8
unfayorable to the development of OF
lands, but we hope that the policy I
the old companies will be to settle tA
lands rather than to hold them fon
rise.

WESTSIDE.

The farmers are hard at work putting
their wheat i'll. Others will finish this
week. The weather has been rather
stormy and cold, some rain and snow.
That is just what the soil needs this
time of the year for good crop. Last
year our wheat lay in the ground till a.
bout the 10th Of May and the weeds got
the start Of it. The farmers are not
running all to wheat this year as usual,
but are dividing up their crop.
The big farm company are building a
boarding house and stabling for Is or 20
teams at Drake Station. They have a.
bout l goo acres Of land to put into crop
near Drake.
l saw slur in the ADVANCE and
Journal about Miss Blackman for Or
dering contest on some mans claim.
1 only wish there were more Miss Black
mans that would order contest on spec
mlation claims. According to law no
man can hold claim without living on
it. Uncle Sam gives his land to those
that vii! go and live on it and make q
home of it, and not live in a railroad
town and speculate us a MERCHANT. 1t
is about time this was played out.

r. CANE 'S6hh ~
EDITOR ADVANCE: Knowing yJ1a
readiness to publish anything that will
interest your agricultural readers, Of
fer few suggestions on the very i'm
portant branch of farming, the cultiva-
ton of the ''Early Minnesota Amber
Sugar Cane" an industry now assum-
ing, in this and adjoining States. large
proportions. The experience Of large
and constantly increasing number of
farmers in this State, has conclusively
proved that the cultivation Of sugar
cane is a success, and that it may he
profitably cultivated. The last season,
1870, thousands Of gal.ons-I think
may say barrelS-Of superior syrup,
and Il very considerable quantity of su-
gar have been manufactured in this
State. [ have seen a sample of sugar
manufactured by. Hon. Seth II. Kenney
Of this State. the pioneer in the cultiva-
ton OF Gambler cane" and it's manufac-
tHre, who has made u large number Of
barrels of the sugar uurelined. 1t is a
light yellow, very dry. with graEules
like the refined granuiated sugar. This
is crop that is sure. Grasshoppers do
not modest it, as easily cultivated as
corn, aud producing probably, four
times as much in value to the acre.
Every farmer should cultivate, at least
enough for the use of his family. The
home consumption of syrup is large,
and already one large Refinery for max
ing the product into sugar and refined
syrups has been built, whit h will make
a market for syrup, and others will be
erected us soon as their is u supply OF
syrup produced. Experience shows that
very fine quality of syrup can be man
!ltactured, and those using it know that
it is pure, not composed of "old rags
and poison drugs.''
Hitherto the query has arisen in the
mind OF the farmer, IF raise sugar
cane, where can get it made into syr-
up and sngar?'' Tat is no longer Il
question, us mills will he erected in
every nelghborhood. 1t is the purpose
Of the writer TO erect il large Mill. and
put in the most approved Eyaporator on
his farm section s., Worthington. this
season. have given considerable at
tention to this matter, and am convin,-
ed that the best results May be obtain
ed by taking the Minnesota grown seed
south and growing it then bringing the
seed back and planting it here. r. ma
lures earlier and gives q larger yield.
Last year used the southern grown
seed, with excellent results, and intend
to do so this year, and by purchasing in
large quantities, it may be bought
cheaper. Farmers in this vicinity unit
ing with, meas Z propos e to. get the
southern grown sseed-7mny avail them
selves Of this saving and besure Of good
seed which. is Of great Importance to
cane growing. This is a cropf that we
may raise without fear of losing our
labor. S<.<'* ~ r. II <.s. s = -@S'@

The Chicago Tribune of recent dad

The editors and publishers of wesl

GODSPEED IT,


Rev. Joseph Cook closed his fifth lei
ture on Spiritualism, in these-re6T1s
If modern science can lift fQ "a the
curtain behind which we n.y. '..er in
clear light the expla.8s..e.eIF6f witch
craft, sorctry, ->octhsaying, magic, and
pagaI<~nC1es. If under the microscope
and the scalpel we are to have uncov-
cred the forces which account for the
power many false religions have had
for one, [ say God speed the lifting Of the
yell and our progress into this undis-
covered country. The advanced plo-
neers of thought are undoubtedly NOV
ing into strange territory; but zee must
not fear exploration.
Bravo! Mr.. Cook. You have the
thanks of honest men everywhere for
daring to tell the clergy and their un-
intelligent followers that all occult sci
ence must be investigated. Weknow,
as tens Of thousands Of others do, that
Spiritualism is the key which explains
and unlocks.;lll the mysteries OF all oc-
cnltism. Spiritualisn is the one science
ofwlic|' magic, sorcery, witcllcraft,
llinL0o j]gglery, ETC., are but so many
branches.
The Devil and his angels, if there
are any such beings, must be brought
under the microscope, explored by
the. telescope, put into the cruel.
bic, subjected to chemical tests. The
great Burgaboo of the ages cannot es-
cape :mpch longer. Science is after him
and he must submit, just as God has al
ways submitted, and delighted to sub
NIT. to the microscope, the crucible, the
rotor, and the other appliances for
finding him out. He invites it, encour-
ages it, blesses it, draws us on and on
forever i'll the delightful search. Only
the wretched priests, who profess his
name and belle his character, have in
all ages resisted investigation and put
men to the rack for discovering Truth
and procl;.iming it.
Why, even here in far away Worth
ington, the ignorant and misled bigots,
consulted together Il few years ago as
to whether or not they should throw
oar type into the street, because we
were investigating Spiritualism.

The Baltimore Il Ohio, since Lord assum-
ed sway of the passenger department, has
most emphatically come to the front in TAX
ing, and at the same time elegant, advertising
matter. Recognizing the elevation Of taste
in matters of an advertising character, and
the demand as well for something Of more
value than the mere setting forth Of the nd
yantages of the road, the b. IL .. has just
issued what it terms the Red Book" IL is
beyond all comparison the cleyerest thing of
the kind ever issued By a railroad company
aud not only this but as y specimen of typo
graphical ar! it is II perfect gem. The cover
desi gned and engraved by the American
Bank Note company, and the book itself
from the press Of Knight IL Leonard, of this
city, very many persons will keep it for its
beauty alone. But while the artistic has been
the aim in the external appearance the con-
tents of the little work will be found of the
utmost value from now until the close of the
preseutp political struggle. Without preten-
tons, and simply setting forth facts, tho b. "
o. "Red Book is beyond all comparison the
handiest and most compact political text
book of the campaign. Compiled, results
reached and arranged by an old journalist of
many years experience in political statistics,
the states are so placed, and the detail 20
carefully attended to- that at glance one
comprehends the situation in each state.
First, the vote of each party for president in
1876 sgiven. with the total vote Of the state,
tho majority and the electoral vote. Next
come tho details of the latest election for
state officers, followed by the political com
plexion of the legislature, with the fact noted
thata United States senator is to be elected
this winter, if such be the case. Then comes
the result in each congressional district, with
loot-notes so clear and concise that the stu.
alton in the different districts is at once sppa.
rent. Finally, the population Of the state in
1870 is noted followed by the vote for presi-
dent in 1872, with the ratio of votes that
year to the population Of two years before.
This is made the basis of calculation of the
totol vote Of each state this year, the Figures
given Of the population, 1880, being from
the latest obtainable information from the
census bureau. AS these statistics cover
every state in the union, and the book so
indexed MS to permit OF instant reference, the
great value of the little work may readily be
appreciated. 1t is not on sale, nor will not
DO distributed without regard to use All
wishing copy have but TO dropa note or
postal to c, X. Lord, Baltimore, Md, and it
will be promptly mailed to the address given.
