The first four nights engagement here
of the Marble combination was quite sat
isfactory, both to the manager and the
public. The hall was crowded every
night. and on the last one numbers were
turned away for :he lack of seats. Billy
Marble gives his audiences their moneys
worth every time in innocent and hearty
fun. especially when he takes the leading
comedy parts. His company Is said to
be rather better than some which have
heretofore supported hlm. yet their rem
dition of Uncle Toms Cabin showed them
in less favorable light than in the light
cr plays. We understand that the man
ager expressed himself we'll pleased with
his reception in Redwood, and We look to
see him again before the season is over.
From this place the company travels
southeast, touching at Sioux City and
points beyond, and travelling northcrly
from.thencc back into Minnesota again.

About Living In Glover.

Editors Free PreH:
You refer the question of a CORE
spOndent about sowing clover in Sep
TENDER to farmers who have "Lived
in Clover" People living on sandy
lands in northeastern Ohio, my old
home, lived in clover; and the almost
universal practice there, was to SOW
clover seed with spring grains, or OH
winter grains in early spring, the
earlier the better after the winter
SHOWS had gone. ~prefering "a light
snow to SOW the seed OH.
Knowing the value of clover and
plaster in keeping up, and even in
creasIng the fertility of sandy soils,
by frequently turning under clover,
and a judiciOus rotation of crops, /
brought clover seed to Minnesota in
SO to SOW on my place in Sand Prai-
RE three miles below MankatO. First
tried spring sowing; it summer killed
before the roots got deep enough to
resist the drOuth /; next tried fall
sewing with wheat Us a winter pro-
lection, both winter killed except in
the shelter Of "a fence, the clover
there maintaining IA feeble existence
for n time, but winters cold and sum-
mer's heat was too much for it Oh
that sometimes drifting sandy land.
Have not tried clover Oh my present
place, a rich clay soil, a it is
not needed rs a green crop, and timO-
thy Is more reliable for hay and
forage Oh such soils. You see my
experience with clover in Minnesota
is limited to one series of expert
ments on very sandy land, and l hope
others who have tried it, whether Oh
light or heavy lands, with favorable
| results or otherwise, will report
through your columns.
This excessively wet season makes
me think that if / should change my
location, l would seek more sandy
lands where l can live in clover again.

Minnesota State Fair.

The Minnesota State Fair opened
at Rochester on Monday last, and like
its rival attraction, the Minneapolis
Exposition, was confronted by a
driving rainstorm which will have to
pass for u autumnal equinOctical,
although its appearance is some three
weeks in advance Of the period as.
signed for its occurrence in the books.
The rain began to pour down at 10
a. M, and continued all day. All
available spaces In the different dep
artments were engaged and expecta.
ton ran high for the best exhibition
ever offered in the State. Tuesday
and Wednesday, day and night. the
rain came down with an almost inces'
SAINT pour, adding discomforts which
every one can comprehend who was
ever caught in a similar dilemma,
preventing the carrying out Of the
elaborate programme, and probably
staring the officers with glooming
forebodings Of a financial loss. AT
the hour Of going to press with our
paper, we have not sufficient data
upon which to speak of the final out.
come of this State Fair for which the
most elaborate preparations had been
made, with no ray Of sunshine to
smile upon the undertaking till Thurs.
day morning, when out shone the sun
with unwoEted splendor. We may
recur to the event In the next issue

WHETHER the present herculean
efforts being used to solve the prob.
lem Of there being an open polar sea
or not, is successful or otherwise,
another result 1t appears is pretty
SURF to follow, showing the progress
made in the multiplication Of Observ.
atories for the collection and spread
of meteorOlical knowledge. A journal
called Tile Nature, learns from a circu.
lar issued by the director Of the st.
Petersburg central physical observa.
tory that all the arctic meteorological
stations will soon be opened, and that
about the autumn Of 1882 we shall
have observations from these stations
for over a year. The following are
the stations to be established AT
Upernavik. by Denmark: in northern
Finnmarken, by Norway (; on the jar
Mayen island, and If possible on the
west coast of Greenland, by Norway

den on Nova Zembla (already Opel

conference to be held in st. Peters
burg will settle the methods Of Obser
walton to he adopted ut all these AM
other contemplated stations.

Minnesota Swamp Lands.

We all know what minnesota
Swamp Lands have suggested in tho
past, and unless the people Of the State
wake up to the significance of the
subject and take a decisive action in
the matter through the ballot box
this fall, we may expect only a con-
tinuance of the old regime.
Let US look ut the subject for a mo.
ment. Ex-Surveyor Gen. Baker says
that 5000, 900 acres of swamp lands
have already Injured to the State with.
in the surveys already made, and
estimates that about 4,OO0,0 900 acres
more will inure to the State when the
surveys are completed. TO these
enormus figures the State Auditor
yet presumes to place the estimate
still higher. and says that there are
about l,O0O,O 900 acres within the sur
veyed. limits besides the amounts re-
ferred to, to fill the above grants (al-
ready made) and that about half of
the lO,0O 900 acres of unsurveyed
lands will inure to the State rs swamp
lands.
The Supreme Court in a recent de.
cision. holds in effect that swamp
lands become the property Of the
State in which they are located, and
