| acre farm III Vrauu MEADOW township.
He has 400 acres of it into crops this year
100 acres in corn, and 800 in small
grains. The balance Of the farm is seed
ed down. Mr.. Hand has just completed
his threshing, and the following is the
thresher's record-being the yield from
the 300 acres:

We call it splendid record. It will be
noticed that wheat was not his largest
crop as heretofore. Farmers can readily
make money on other crops, but wheat
will have to be abandoned in Mower
county. A total grain yield Of nearly
10000 bushels on 800 acres is good enough.
&C. NJ. Fernaand L. G. Wheeler Of
this city, have gone to St. Paul and form
ed partnership in business. They have
purchased of Hezekiah Hall, 341 Jackson
street, a large stock of furniture, and the
new firm of 'Fernald & Wheeler" com
menced business in their new location on
the 4th. Mr.. Fernald is we'll known as
the pioneer furniture dealer of Austin,
having been engaged in that business in
this city for the past fifteen years. He
thoroughly understands every part of the
business, and this knowledge will be of
great value to him in his larger field.
Mr. FerGhld is reliable and trustworthy,
and has the respect and regard of very
many friends in Austin, who wish him
abundant success. The same can truth
fully be said of Mr.. Wheeler, except as to
his experience in that particular line of
business, which is limited to his present
venture. We understand large build
ing is to be built for them next spring, to
be 50x130, stories.

We have given these Treasures of
the Poetic World" hasty glance, and
we find among them, many cherished
friends, and also, as Ruskin says, fairy
palaces of beautiful thoughts, bright fan
| cies, satisfied memories, noble histories,
faithful sayings, treasures of precious
| and restful thoughts, houses built with
out hands for our souls to live in. Mrs.
NJ. c. Moe, of Rochester, is now in the
city, soliciting subscriptions for this
book. We find her lady of culture, and
| cheerfully introduce her to the ladies of
our city. Read the following testimon-
ials:
After some examination of Prof
McAlpine's Treasures from the Poetic

Carleton College, Mortified, addressed
the Congregational church audience last
Sunday morning. The weather was
rainy, and the attendance consequently
slim. However, those present responded
very literally to Rev. Fisk's appeal for
aid for the college. The sum asked for was
800, with which to furnish one of the
| rooms in the new ladies' hall. Harlan
W. Page offered to give $50, if the mem
| bers of the church would make mp the
other $50. Pledges were passed around,
and $1,000 were raised. making, with Mr..
! Pages contribution, a total sum of $780,
| 80. One of the members of the church
remarked, after hearing the result, that it
| was fortunate for the church that this
! contribution did not come in a dry day,
or it would have cleaned them out. Rev.
Fisk was very much pleased with the re-
| suit, and is a firm believer in the Austin
church. He says church so bountiful
| as this will have no difficulty in their
own financial affairs. Mr.. Fisk reports
Carleton College as very prosperous.
There are about $50 students in atten-
dance this term, which is about 80 more
than have attended any other term.
