There has been no marked in crease in The num-
Der of cattle in two years, for the that Da-
kota, Montana and Manitoba, have drawn heavi-
ly on our stock to supply al imperative demand
in those growing territories. We have also sup
piled many large contracts for the Indian trade
and army consumption.
1t is with just pride that we also note that all
the great breeds of cattle are fully estab-
hshed in Minnesota, and have
shown complete adaptation to our
soils and grasses. The Durhams, the Holsteins,
the Herefords, the Jerseys, the Polled Angus, ARE
all at home among the different skilled breeders,
who have devoted themselves, with high en-
thusiasm, to this noble pursuit. The successful
breeding of fine cattle is no longer an expert
ment in Minnesota
As to our products of the dairy, we have dem
onstrated our ability to do fully up to the high
est standard of any of the younger states. From
reliable sources of authority,I have prepared the
following table, showing our dairy products for

PECULIAR ADVANTAGES OF soUTAERN MINNESOTA.
Not alone because of loyalty to my own sec
| ton, but because of its real advantages, would
l say word for that noble belt of ag.icultu-
raj provinces called southern Minnesota Rail-
rays and others interested in extolling the
praises of lands beyond ours, have caused one of
the most highly favored regions of the North
west to be omitted from the lists of lands glori-
fed beyond measure. The world is flooded with
persuasive advertising literature as to the en-
chantment in lands beyond US in fields toward
| the setting sun. Hence the tide of emigration
has often surged past our doors. / would not
ungenerously depreciate Dakota nor the North
Pacific lands. Southern Minnesota can afford to
wait the reaction which is sure to come When
at college remember reading in Heroditus that
| Scion declared, ''No one country possessed all
advantages, or yields all the products of nature,
| but has one and lacks another; and that country
| should be held most fortunate that produces
most of those things necessary for the use and
| comfort of man 80
| The wisdom of Scion is as good now as it was
2 ,O0e years ago Judged by this rule, southern
Minnesota should be esteemed most fortunate
No other region is better adapted to those things
deemed most essential in general agriculture. 1t
is locality which peculiarly invites and will
richly reward mixed husbandry. We no long
| or have to inquire what we shall do when we
abandon the single crop of wheat. We can pro-
duce corn and hogs; blue grass, clover and fine
cattle; the whole range of dairy products invite
| us to more pleasant and profitable pursuit than
exclusive grain farming. We abound in lakes and
streams of pure water; we have great stretches
of shelter belts to protect us from the "pitiless
peltings of the storm" We have good roads in
winter and are well served with railways. As
you turn to the great Northwest beyond us, this
Is the last certain home of fruit, of clover, of
timethy and corn. We dislike man with but
a single idea; and region which can produce
but one crop is not an ideal one.
That have over-stated the peculiar adaptation
of this region to the protection of grasses and
the healthfulness of stock, let me summon a
competent witness: Mr.. G.. A. De Graft, near
GAINESVILLE, has 2,2O0 acre farm. Born and
raised in blue grass region in southern Ohio
He is now one of the most eminent breeders of
fine cattle in the West. Hear his testimony
given to the editor Ct the american Agricultural
Review. Says Mr.. De Graft: 81 was raised in
the blue grass country, and early became famil-
lar with the value of blue grass, and when be-
gan farming in Minnesota, seeing the near re-
semblance to that section in many particulars,

want cattle for beef, that 8 different thing.
We learn from the statistician at Washington
that in 1881 the long horns of Texas shipped East
averaged 1854, while Northern blooded beeves
averaged 500 GO, or one short horn was equal to
six Texans.
The difference between good cow and poor
one is the difference between success and fail
ure. I incline myself to the short horn grades
for milk. The great dairies which supply Lon
don with milk use short horn grades. SO also
do the Shakers at Union Village, in Ohio.
want no cow on the premises which I can't
readily turn off for beef when / am done with
her for other purposes.
THE PROFITS OF THE BARRY AND ITS FUTURE
No strictly grain-growing community ever yet
became rich. They sell their farms away by the
bushel. On the contrary a stock and dairying
community are always well-to-do. No other
agricultural interest can measure balances with
the dairy and stock business. American dairy
ing represents capital of more than S12, 600 000
| The value of these products in the state of New
York are now annually more than $50, e00, 600.
Take the single locality of Elgin, Ill. They
organized their dairy board of trade in 1872,
and their sales that year were only SS1 900; but
| in 1881, they were s2,219,600. Their sales have
| averaged over S1,000,000 per annum, for the
eleven years they have been in operation. At
Utica n. Y, the sales of cheese during the past
season amounted to 81 ,523, 59S. The highest
price paid at Utica was thirteen cents, a. Elgn.
eleven and one-half cents. The average price
of cheese for this year in the Urited States was
ten cents, for butter twenty cents. This data is
| given upon the authority of x. n. Willard, the
best statistican we have on dairy products. In
addition to these products it must be noted that
all refuse milk not consumed in their manufac-
ture, goes to the calves and pigs, and thus, in
new direction, adds to the abundance of the
gnneral results. Not only is the per cent. full
of rewards for this industry, but the future is
full of hope. In 1890 we shall have CO. co., 900 of
people. The demand for these products will in
crease. But the territories peculiarly adapted
to these pursuits will not increase. What has
been done at Utica and Elgin can be repeated at
Mankato, Rochester or Albert Lea and other like
places in our state. Happy and prosperous will
be the men who avail themselves of chosen spots
and with abiding faith shall hold steadily to an
avocation which will bring assured reward.
BUTTER VERSUS oLEoMARGARINE.
Butter, like all other things of genuine, orig
inal merit, hasits imitators. The great artif-
cial competitor of true butter, is oleomargarine.
1t originated in France, in 1859, bya French
savan, named M. Mege, and was made by ex-
tracing the oil from common fats, at low tenn
perature and converting this, by churning into
so-called butter. II has been called oleomargar-
me, then margarine. and finally butterine Il is

p0rThe Hagerstown Mlsk. gives
the following true picture Of Mr.. Hol-
Ton, the Radical candidate for Gov
ornor:
THE Republican party seems TO be
run mad for Holton. A frenzy has
seized upon it. and nothing but Hol-
ton will do. And who is Mr.. Holton?
lie has no record as a public man
but taat as a Senator from Howard
county. when DR.. Maclin was turned
outagainst all right and decency to put
him in, and then the little record he
made is bad enough. His whole bnt
short public life is the disagreeable
revival of the scandals and wrongs of
Republican power in this State dur
ing the war. This gentleman has no
power as a speaker, no position as a
political thinker, nor any known
aptitude for the charge and conduct
Of public affairs. He is said to be
rich. and clever, and joviai, and
without any practical political know
ledge. It is said further that being
rich, he will use much money toward
his election. If this be true and
money is to take the place of merit
and Of principle, upon what times
have we fallen2 Are we to have
opened out upon the whole State
what it is said was witnessed in the
last congressional contest in his dis
triot, and which went far toward Sc
curing his eleotion--the sluices of
corruption? The greatest evil now
upon our American politics is the cor
rupt use of money in our elections.
1t is the sapper and miner of free in
stitntions and OF. republican govern
ment. It was to be hoped that in the
canvass for Governor there would
be a public sentiment against X that
would make itself felt, and that wouit.
TO a great extent be respected by both
political parties. All good men should
set their faces against the corrupt use of
money. But if the rumors be true
that hoat,around the nomination Of
Mr.. Holton, it is to be practicea upon
a scale never before known in this
State.

TARRIEG A RAT.-Rats are wonder
fully clean animals, and they dislike
tar more, perhaps, than anything
else, for il it once gets on their jack
cts, they find it most difficult to re-
move it. Now had heard it men
toned that pouring tar down at the
entrance of their holds was a good
remedy, also placing broken pieces of
glass by their holes was another rem
edy. But these remedies are not eff.
fectiye. The rats may leave their old
holes and make fresh ones in other
parts of the house; they don't, how
ever, leave the premises for good. |

fortune which had so suddenly befal-
