visit to this city was to ascertain the
cost Of material needed to construct the
mill and machinery, select . location for
the works. and also to contract for their
erection. II the materials can be pur.
chased on this coast at the same figures
that they can be delivered here from the
East, the preference will be shown to
local dealers In the articles. The works
will DO In operation by the middle OF
August. The tailings and black sand
will be concentrated at the mines and
then be transported In large freight
wagons to the mill. where the gold will
DO extracted by an slectro-chemicai pro-
cess. The company does not intend TO
purchase either tailipgs or black sand,
but will haul them to the mill and
work them for . share Of the gold.

A Sensible Farmer In Blue Earth
County.

In reading the Mower County Mer'
curry, published In Grand Meadow,
we come across a statement by Its
editor, who has been looking over
some of their fields devastated by that
pest, the chinch bug, and he declares
that wheat raising must be abandon.
ed. Then he gives the following i'm
portant statement:
While at Mankato last winter we
met a forehanded farmer who lived
in Blue Earth county who remarked
that the grasshoppers had been an ad.
vantage to him. The remark struck
us In q way that excited our curiosity.
We asked him to explain to US how
that could be, as he must be an ex.
ceptiOn to the general rule. i will
tell YOU" said he +; "when the hop.
pers first visited Blue Earth county,
and my farm in particular, had In
one hundred and twenty-five acres of
wheat that was good for from twenty
to twenty-five bushels, II it had been
let alone. It was nicely headed out
and in the blossom. The 'hoppers
came, and in about three or four hours
not one head Of wheat was left stand.
ing. / had twenty acres of oats and
ten acres Of corn. saved some oats
and all the corn. The next year ]
sowed fifty acres Of wheat and put
in fifty acres of corn. The 'hoppers
took the wheat again and left me the
corn. The third year I sowed twenty
acres of wheat and one hundred acres
Of corn. The 'hoppers again took the
wheat, and, as usual, left the corn.
And now, my friend, I find that !
have fifty head Of cattle, one hundred
head of fat hogs to sell, and seven.
teen head of horses, and I thank the
grasshoppers for it; for If I had not
been obliged to abandon the growing
of wheat, I would, no doubt, be fol.
lowing the suicidal policy Of raising
it, to the exclusion Of corn, horses,
cattle and hogs" And he wound up
his remarks by saying to us, +" No
more wheat In mine, and don't you
forget i'll"
We pondered over the matter and
wondered II 1t was necessary for all
our farmers to pass through such adj.
versities before they would adopt the
better policy Of more corn, cattle,
horses and hogs, and . less number
of acres Of wheat. Twenty acres OF
wheat is enough and you can cut and
harvest that with a cradle, and save
the interest on from three to six hun.
dred dollars worth Of machinery.

Is this solution Of the difficulty:
II Mower county was entitled to a
Dunnell delegation he would have
been the nominee. II the anti.Dun.
nell delegates were entitled to Mower
county, then Mr.. Ward Is the regular
nominee. As 1t would make no diff.
ference which way the Jackson coun.
ty delegates stood 1t all hinged on the
Mower county delegation. We would
therefore suggest that Mower county
he now allowed to say whether Mr..

candidate, as this was the county that
would have decided the matter had
It sent an uncontested delegation.
