n Few Words to Now cr Count Y Farmers.

\ Few Words to Now cr County Farmers.
Talk up your county, friends; show up
our advantages to- strangers. Mower is
considered throughout the sta te one of its
best counties, and good words can be
,ruthtully said Of 1t. The times have
been very hard for farmers the past three
years, we know, but where are they better
in Minnesota? Our farmers are now ut
the critical period IN thei; history, when
they must change their mode Of farming,
or go to the wall. 1t seems hard TO leave
off raising VIII eat, but the time is sure to
come to all those who bravely "change
their course" when they will "blrss their
stars" that Providence compelled them
to adopt a course which will! prove e ,e-
ticiai and profitable. Mower county is
specially adapted for diversified farming,
the mode Of all others which pays best
in the long run. If any portion of the
state is good for raising stock, corn,
grass, &C., Mower county is included in
that portion.
If half Of the grum bling of the poor
unfortunate farmers OF Mower county was
turned to planning for the future, whereby
the mistakes of the past could be correct
ed, they would very soon be in better con-
di,lor, both IN mind and purse, and the
coun'y's reputation improved. Do not
sit down and repine, friends. Grid on
the armor, and wordsworth for better
plans, better crops and better times-and
the Lord Will bless you. The Lord al.
ways blesses the laborer-the lazy, brain.
less sloven, never We know very many
well-meaning, honest, hard working farm.
ers in Mower have seemingly laoored IN
vain-and all seems dark before them
But these men, tn csc honest, faithful men,
will surely win the prize in the end
Don't give up. II your farm has gone
from you, you can rent somebody elses
farm. There are plenty Of them for rent
and you can dictate terms. For once you
have the landlord at an advantage, the
supply 81 largely exceeding the demand
on account Of the poor crops. Change
your mode of farming. Raise stock,
grass, corn, oats, barley, flax, potatoes,
beans, sugar cane,-any thing and every.
thing, except wheat. Wheat, for staple
CROP, is doomed in Southern Minnesota
and our farmers must understand it. 1t
is foolish, to whine over it, 1t is the part
Of wisdom 10 accept the situation.
