4 correspondent in n recent issue
of the Country Gentisman. in speak.
ing of mixed farming, says:
The more ! see of mixed farming,
the more become convinced of its
advantages over special systems of
culture, where either may be en-
ployed to the best advantage. The
one-crop system has serious RISKS to
run on account Of the variations of
the seasons and the markets.
There is no doubt but mixed farm
ing pays better than the one-crop
system, but. says the correspondent,
it pays from the start, us it embraces
the various products grown, including
the special branches, all, or part of
which. may be employed, or some
products grown more largely, as cir.
cumstances may govern, reaping thus
what benefit there is, which is sure
to occur in ut least some of the pro.
duets, usually with proper attention
in most of them, and sometimes in
ali, according as they are influenced
by climate, moist or dry seasons, and
the nature of the soil. Some Sec
tons or farms are more suited to
grazing. some to grain, some to par
ticular grains. There are also local..
ties more favorable to fruit, or to
some other special product. These
are exceptional, and require the pro.
ducts adapted to them.
We do long to see the day coming
in Minnesota. when every farmer will
raise mixed crops. We want to see
wheat, oats, corn, barley, rye and
potatoes produced on the farm. We
want % see horses. cattle. sheep and
hogs. occupying the same farm.
Then we shall know that prosperity
will reign on every farm in the State.

Col. James, who claims TO have the

try, has sent Us an extract saying, that
he will use every effort 10 have all users
of the drive well, pay their royalty
peaeably, but if he fails in this direction
he will push the matter vigorously. He
is now in 81. Paul looking after several
suits.
We don't know why Col. James should

Normal school Items,

The examinations tor the present
term, instead of being held at the close
of each month, are To occur ut the mid
die and at the close of the term. Two
examinations are to be held in the
chapel, to occupy more than the usual
time, and to be based ON printed ques-
tons.
The health of the students continues
good. No case of severe illness has &C
CURED thus lar during the term, absen-
ces have been comparatively few.
Six new copies of Webster's Una
bridged Dictionary have been ordered
from the publishers for use in the
school, the old ones being so worn as to
be nearly useless. 4 material addition
To the library is soon to be made, some
books having been already ordered.
Book keeping is taught In the school
for the first time this term, both the
preparatory and G classes receiving in
struction in it. One hundred copies Of
Bryants Manual Of Book Keeping were
required for both classes. They are in
structed by Mr. Carson and are making
good progress.
The Mankato Normal School now
ranks second only to Winona in mum
Der of students, having fully fifty more
than the ST. Cloud school. Next year
will bring IN enrolment of ut least 100
more than the present year. The spa
cious building will accommodate them
and the great and rich country tribu-
,ary to the school will furnish them.
Mark the prediction.
The members of \ and Is classes are
already beginning to mediate the qucs-
ton of topics for the orations and essays
of graduating time.
The new furnaces are working salts
i;actorily; ali parts OF the building be-
ing comfortably warmed by them. The
ventilation of two rooms was improved
during the recent vacation, but the large
size Of some of the Classes still makes
necessary the use of the more primitive
means ef doors and windows.

High school Items.

Some time ago the high school was
resolved into class organization, each
class choosing its own officers. These
classes have selected notices rs follows:
The \ class, "FriniS ropus covonat,'
the end crowns the work. The b class,
Non coniectum sed coeptum," not fin
ished but begun. The c class, "Dcns
ct dextra,' God and my right hand
ID class, "Thc cross before the crown"
The ID class has placed its motto and
the year in which the class graduates
in gilt letters, together with the charac-
tiers of the motto, upon ii beautiful shield
of satin which now adOrns the walls OF
the high school.
The designs of the other classes will
soon be ready, and it is the desire of
both teachers and pupils to make the
schoolroom in which they spend so
much OF their time as pleasant and at
tractive as home.
The astronomy class has calculated,
from data furnished by Prof. Lockyer,
that it would require II, 440, $40, 400.-
000, 100000 tons of coal to be burnt per
hour to represent the suns heat, and
that man weighing one hundred and
fifty pounds here on earth would weigh
some 1880, 900 on the sun.
Two of the lady teachers of the Nor.
NAL schoo! and Judge Brown paid a
visit to the high school last week. and
quite number Of visitors attended the
meeting of the Philalcthian Society,
held on Friday afternoon. The meet
ings of this society are open to the pub.
lie and its members would be very much
pleased if more would attend them.
Hereafter the programme will be pub
lishcd week in advance, so that the
public may know what the exercises
will be.
One of the high school boys while re-
turning home from school last week
lost his "mind." Any person finding
the same will please leave it at the
above school, for which Kindness he
will be amply rewarded.

Valentines at Titlany's.


The legislative committee delegated
10 visit the Normal School of this city,
arrived here last Friday noon, and were
met at the depot by Hon. o. o. Pitcher,
Maj. II. ii. Rose, John A. Willard, ID.
G. Evans. and others, who escorted them
to the imposing stru cturc where they
encountered Prof. Soaring and Bech-
doldt Prof. Soaring welcomed them
with short but appropriate speech,
and gave the party the freedom of the
school rooms.
They were much interested in the cx-
ercises given by Prof. Bechdolt ON
civil government as well AS the musical
exercises by Miss Pitcher.
Prof. Soaring gave the committee a
statement OF the number of pupils en-
rolled in each class which is as fol-
lows
In the Normal Department-Class A. II;
Glass Is. English, Is; Class u. Latin, 10; Class
c. So; preparatory, f3.
In the Model Observation-Disclosures
q: primary, %.
Glasses A and English Il are the graduating
classes. In addition To the twcnty-seven en-.
rolled there are four more who will take ex-
aminafions, and II they pass will graduate i'm
the spring from the Normal.
The committee then adjourned to the
Mankato House where they partook of
bountiful repast that only mine Host
Burt knows how to spread, when they
were driven to the depot to take the 3
o'clock train to st. Paul.
The visiting statesmen were--Sena-
tors White, Schallcr, and Buck.
Representatives - Glossner, Harber-
ger, Kohlmicr, McCrackcn, Churchill,
Henry, Roberts, Stewart, Collins, Rose
brock, Donahuc, Baker, Wagner, Peter
son, Flom, Smith, Hall, and Burger.
They all speak in the highest terms
of the management Of the Normal
School under the able SUPPLEMENTARY
of Prof. Soaring, and the increased
looks Of the building since its new i'm.
provements have been added.

We wish to say to the people of Man

our books, but will continue our bust
ness from the above date strictly for
cash, and will make prices that no time

cash will be positively adhered to. To
those who have so literally patronized
us in the past we feel extremely grateful
and will try in the future to make it to
their advantage to continue their pat

\ Chance for Manisaio.

Now is chance for Mankato to bid
for the Canton Car Works. This COM
pany has been induced Ia look at the
facilities at Hollah, small town on the
Southern Minnesota road, near the Mis-
sissippi river, as suitable place TO cs-
tab.ish branch shop. Why can't Man
kato take steps now to have the officers
look at our facilities. They far surpass
Hokah OF any other town in Southern
Minnesota. and such a firm would en-
ploy 400 or 800 men. We could afford
TO olier the company cxtravagant terms
to locate here.
