The Stone Cruslier.

Mr.. J. Il. Beatty has been running the
new stone crusher at his quarry for a
number of days now, and brief visit
to the spot this week, watching its work,
convinced us fully of its perfect utility
for macademizing our streets and alleys.
1t is run by l4-horse power engine,
although one Of horse power is suf-
ficient for all practical purposes.
About fifteen men are required to keep
the hopper of the machine full when it
is running at its full capacity. 1t brushes
now about 40 cubic yards of stone day,
and as there are 81 cubic feet in cubic
yard, and the weight of a cubic foot of
crushed stone being about $50 pounds,
it is easy to figure that each days work
of the machine grinds up l62, 900 pounds
of stone. The machine can be easily
regulated to crush the rock to various
grades of fneness, SO that if one desired
to make walk around his premises or
use it for any other purpose they could
be accommodated. All Of the surround
ing towns that annually expend hundreds
of dollars toward repairing their streets,
could, by purchasing few car loads OF
crushed stone of Mr.. Beatty, soon make
their roads durable for years at half the
usual expense. Ifthc Milwaukee railroad
company would ballast their track from
here to Wells, and from Wells west, they
would soon have the finest rOadbed in
the western country. There are SO
many ways in which this product Can
be used advantageously that we predict
Mr.. Beatty will be enabled to keep the
crusher running all the year around.

Our County Fair.


Although it may seem little prema
ture to take any decided action regard
ing our county fair, for the coming
fall, yet it is none too early to begin
talking about it, for thorough discus
sion of any question invariably brings
to light now ideas and new features
which prove oftentimes of incalculable
value. Too much talk cannot be in
dulged in relative to county fair, if,
when the proper time arrives, prompt
action be taken to put the various theo-
ries into practical shape. And there is
no one thing directly connected with
agriculture which is of so much benefit
or which should enlist the interests of
every farmer to such an extent as a sue
cessful county fair. How to attain
success in this particular is the query
Of many, yet it is apparently an easy
question of solution, for all it needs is
the hearty cooperation of each individu-
al farmer, and if this main element he
obtained, the other elements will surely
follow, while without tins individual
interest and consequent unanimity of
feeling, nothing but failure can be
expected. Blue Earth County is rich in
resources and could and should have
one of the most successful exhibitions
of stock and farm produce of any county
in the state. TO make such q society
successful, its management must be in
the hands of those who can gain the
of the people; the latter must
know whether a society, apparently in
for their benefit, will be
conducted upon a basis of honesty and
fair dealing, or whether it will be run
in the interests Of privileged few.
The various committees on awards
should be chosen for their special fitness,
and all awards made upon the merit of
the article exhibited instead of favOrit-
ism. The policy of every county society
should he to instruct rather than to
amuse the multitudes who annually at
tend its meetings. All "side shows :"
ought to be excluded, and in fact every
thing which has tendency to detract
from the interest of the main feature the
society has in view. BY observing these
things which are of the utmost practical
value, an important influence in the
education and interchange of in.
formation among the farmers of the
whole county will soon be observable.
We would like to see such an interest
taken in the fair to be held at Garden
City this fall as would establish pcrma-
nently series of successful fairs in the
future, in our grand and growing County
of Blue Earth.

Social Event mt the Ope, House.

Last Monday evening the Mankato
Singing Society "Liedertafel," gave a
very interesting entertainment at the
Opera House, consisting of instrumental
and vocal music, speeches and theatre
Gals. The entertainment was first
inaugurated for the purpose of present
ing the society with beautiful flag,
purchased by the lady friends Of the
Society. j. NJ. Broome, editor of the
Beobachter, delivered speech in the
German language, and judging from
the applause which greeted him at the
close, it must have been well received.
He was followed by Mr.. Muff, German
lawyer, lately coming here, who spoke
in English, after which Mrs. Westphal
appeared upon the stage bearing alofl
the new banner, and in behalf of hel
lady friends presented it to the society
in neat speech, which was responded
to by Mr.. Karl Kuehne. The banner
is beautiful one, made of fine silk, ant
is feet long and feet wide, and bear
upon one side in gilt letters "Mankatt
Singing Society, 'Liedertafel,' Organ
lied February 90, $780," After TIN
presentation the Society gave one o
their best theatricals, Astounding il
mirth and pleasure, followed by
social hop. Quite respectable audi
encc was out and enjoyed themselve
to the utmost. One of the principa
features of the entertainment was til
excellent singing by the choir, whicI
] consisted of twelve male voices.

prove not only profitable to their owners,
but to the farmer as well, tor those
farmers within the radius of several
miles to well established creamery
receive Il much better price for their
milk from the creamery than they pos
sibly could if made into butter and then
sold. The creamery near Winnebago
City pays the farmers who furnish it
with milk the same as fifteen cents a

The consequence is that farmers IN that
immediate vicinity are improving their
stock and introducing cows possessing
superior milking properties.

The Northwestern railroad company
are pursuing altogether the wrong
course to gain the good wishes Of our
people. In many particulars their
actions appear exceedingly small, for
30 great corporation. Mankato has
no desire to retard any improvement
which the above company may wish to
make, but on the other hand, would
undoubtedly extend to its officers many
accommodations if a proper spirit were
shown in their requests. Last week
that company requested permission
from our city council to extend one OF
its side tracks across certain territory
belonging to the city, but before max.
ing the request, the company had
already occupied the grounds. This
seems TO he an assumption of power
that our authorities cannot justly over
look, and the sooner corporations o
whatever kind, learn that city of thi
size possesses rights they are bound t
respect, the sooner IN amicable under
standing will be had between the cit,
and the corporations.

Panoramic View OF MankatO.

If there be any one thing in the
surroundings Of Mankato sufficient to
attract the imagination and delight OF
a stranger, and to progresses him with
the beauty and grandeur Of our scenery,
it is by taking him to the top OF
Beatty's bluff on clear day and allow
him in silence to teas: his eyes upon
the City as it spreads out before him,
and contemplate the immense natural
advantages which abound upon every
side, only awaiting development to
become powerful factor in the future
growth and prosperity of the City. At
his feet, as it were, he gazes up Front
street, street without peer we believe,
in our broad State, for fully mile,
fanked upon both sides with substan-
tial mercantile houses, and the inter-
vening space alive with teams and
pedestrians to the right, he observes
busy workmen quarrying stone and
burning lime, while just beyond lie
our three grist mills, one of which,
the Msnkato mill, is the equal of any
in the State in point of excellence of
its product; then the six brick yards
teeming with active workmen and busy
industry the Northwestern railroad
winding around the bluff the big grain
elevator, and the river csursing its way
in a semi-circle, and fringed upon either
bank with the dense green foliage OF
trees. Upon the left hand, he sees the
Wooden Mill, the steeples of fourteen
church buildings, the City School edi'
fees, and further on the imposing struc.
lures Of the State Normal and Catholic
School buildings, while beyond all

A Farmers Experience.

A farmer in the south western part of
this state who survived the plague of
the grasShoppers To find himself desti-
tute of every thing but experience,
tells us that wheat raising is past
and that the prosperous farmer is he
who goes into stock. He said that
the whole southwestern portion of
Minnesota is fast becoming an immense
stock farm and dairy. And the farmers
in that section have acquired many of
the advantages within few years past,
which required those in the eastern part
of the state years of hard labor to ac-
quire, while depending on wheat alone.

DR.. Yarnall, ST., of Minneapolis, Is in

his care for the cure of the ills that flesh
is heir to, and to show how they are
fixed in Minneapolis, we quote from the
Pioneer Press of late date, as follows
The entire second story of the hand.
some Gluck block has been pressed into
their service. The front is a large re-
ception or lecture room for ladies, run
ming back about twO-thirds the length of
the building, and is by all odds the
finest and most comfortably furnished
reception room ever seen in this part of
the world. The rear rooms are used for
consultations, pharmacy, etc, where the
medicines most used are prepared under
the personal direction OF Yarnall Bros,
thus ensuring freshness and purity. The
walls throughout are hung with the
finest collection of anatomical charts IN
America, all new and representing every
part and function of the complicated
human system in health and disease.
These artistically cOlOred charts are
about twice life size and marvelOusly
correct in their representation. They
are by no means new to the MinneapO-
lis or Minnesota public, but have been
practiclng throughout this section for
some time, and have performed some
wonderful cures in difficult cases. Drs.
Yarnall belong to family of successful
physicians with regular and thorough
education in all the schools. They treat
chronic diseases of every character, and
have been thus successfully engaged fol
thirty years. In addition to large
Office business, they also carry on large
correspondence with patients out Of the
city, promptly answering all letters OF
inquiry, and send medicines, ETC., any.
where by express. THIS often proves {
very economical and satisfactory way
for country patients to find relief with
out the expense of a visit to the city
The confidence these gentlemanly prac
titioncrs have shown in the develop
ment of the northwest and their determ
ination to make this quarter their field
for life, should lead our suffering people
so seek their acquaintance and profit b,
their skill.
