We have had an unprecedented harvest
Grain has been cut and gathered in good
condition. Threshing is progress
ing rapidly. Some farmers report 80 bush
els of No. hard wheat per acre. The
average will overrun Is bushels. Oats are
a heavy crop. Corn is doing well. Hay
is abundant, of good quality and condition.
Thanksgiving should be glad, welcome
day this year. Trade. of course. is rather
dull in harvest time. Even politics are at
low ebb-but the tide may rise.
Parson Huntress, of Sauk Centre, preach

lectured last night. He is man of more
than ordinary talent and tact to entertain
an audience. He gave lecture on prohi-
bition last night. This question is
now looming up heaven high, above ordi-
nary polical issues, and is flashing the
light of temperance and Gospel truth over
the land. The position taken by Kansas
and Iowa is attracting attention, and ex-
cites courage, hope and effort in the same
direction, among many states of the Union

Advantage of Having a Creamery. c

The following is clipped from the Sid
ney Union and is commended to all our
readers for careful perusal:
The following statements as to how it
pays to sell cream to creamery, are taken
from the books of Holt & Hall of Osceola,
Iowa, who have had II creamery in sue
cessful opera ion for a number of years
Thislrm annually pay out from $40, 900 to
$50 600 to its patrons. The people of
Clark county would not have the creamery
taken from them for an equivalent to that.

THE ADNAN rAGES.

The advantage TO the farmers of this
system over the old way OF selling the
milk to cheese and butter factories may be
readily seen.
1st. The saving of labor of man and
team in hauling milk to the factory.
End. Having the skinned milk left on
the farm for feeding purposes.
3rd. The skinned milk being sweet is
worth at least s. per year more for each
COW
4th. The advantage over making the
butter on the farm is still greater, as all
the labor of churning, working butter etc,
is saved, besides getting from 25 to 80 per
cent more for the cream than can be got
for the butter after it is made

One Of Our Drawbacks.
n. D. Times.D Democrat, Dec. l6.

II may be illustrated by a
brief and v~eracious narrative of
fact.
Some months ago, two young
mon of means came from the
West to Louisiana upon a pros
Meeting tour. They had money
to invest and were looking for
4 satisfactory location. In the
course of their peregrinations
thew visited st. Landry parish.
Here they were at once struck
Nv the beauty of the country,
its advantages as an agricultu-
ral district, it's facilities with re-
ference to market and its lavish
abundance of wood and water.
The graceful undulations Of the
soil. the delicious climate-all
these things impressed them to
such an extent that they paused
On their journey in order to
live to that region a closer and
more thorough investigation
than they had so far felt inclin-
ed to give to any Of the neigh
borhoods included in the tour.
Inquiry only confirmed their IA
vorable prepossesSions, and at
last they realized that st. Lam
dry fulfilled all their desires and
expectations. If there was a
spot in the world suited to their
tastes and ideas it was here.
Here, then, they would make
their home and begin the battle
for independence and fortune.
In q week or two they had Sc
leeted q tract of some hundreds
Of acres, which met their views
both as to natural advantages
and to price, and negotiations
we're about to be c~onsummated,
when a chance remark caused
them to inquire with profound
surprise if it was possible that
80 magnificent a farming coun-
try had no stock law. They
were answeredin the affirmative.
II was not only possible, but
true that the farmers Of Louisi-
ana are not protected by stock
laws; that the settler, in this
State, after purchasing and
equipping his place, blowing and
putting in his crop, has to go to
the enormous expense of sur
rounding it with a fence in or
der to save it from destruction
BIZ bis neighbors' cattle. That
was enough for our young pros
pectors. They packed their bags
next day and went to look for
some community where immi-
grafton and capital were invited
5by civilized customs andenlight-
'ened legislation.
And this-although a great
many people may not know it
is one of our drawbacks, and a
serious one at that.

"reminiscences of Mardi Gras

from the stories related by those
who remember the "good old

the grand parade on Mafdi Gras

rugged and manned ship, from
