The Premium Wheat at the State
FAIR.

rdlF.
The premium wheat at the state fair Just
held at O Hatonna was raised by Jacob
Hurley of Ortonville, in Big Stone county,
the hard Scotch Fife. weighing sixty-three
pounds to the bushel, and produced the
enormous quantity o: three bushels from a
single quart. 1t was exhibited in both
grain and straw, and attracted more atten-
ton than any other one thing on the ground.
The sizs Of the kernels; the bright
stiff straw, the Length Of the heads and its
enormous productiveness called forth *
pressions of snrpr1se from all who saw it.
Col. John 81. Stevens, the veteran agricul:
turist, was particularly struck with it, and
pronounced it the finest half bushel of
wheat he had ever seen exhibited at our
fairs. 1t was the kind called the Sasket.
chewan Fife, a pure variety of the old
Scotch Fife, brought down from the Saskat-
chewan Valley, in Manitoba, six years ago,
and acc'imated to our state. The original
seed has been much improved by careful &c.
lection and cultivation, and it is now I'M
questionably the most productive and lest
milling wheat in the world.
TIE Pioneer Press Company Of st. Paul,
anxious to increase their subscription list,
and at the same time dissent ate so valu.
able a variety of seed, have purchased q
large quantity OF it direct from the propa-
gators, and now offer it as a premium on
their weekly. Any one sending in q new
name at the regular price, accompanied by
the cash, viz, 81 is fora years subscrip-
ton, will be entitled to a quart of the
wheat, which will be sent to any address, put
up in astfong canvass sack, and delivered at
'he exlress office in Minneapolis express
charges prepaid. AS it sold last year at q
dollar a quart, this offer is exceedingly lib
eral, and will doubtless lead to a very large
accession to their subscription list.

animated session, which finally termin.
ated in the usual way-cigars and tears
madam said she would buy her own
present, and mopsiear might suit him
s.lf. The next morning however re-
pentance seized both parties, though
still sulking with each other; and the
gentleman, hoping to s'make up" with
bis better half, selected on his way
down town a gorgeous cut-glass Jug,
writing his wife's best wishes ona card
and dispatching ito the ~expectant bride.
An hour later, out sailed the wife only
intent on buying what should please her
spouse, and thus heap GOALS Of fire on
his recalcitrant head. The result was
a costly old-lined silver salad bowl, ac-
companied by the best wishes, &c.,
written On the gentleman's visiting
pasteboard, which was duly forwarded to
the same address as that of the cut glass
jug. At night nothing was said of this
joint maneuvre, each one wishing tn
surprise the other by showing the note
Of acknowledgement when it should ar
rive. 1t came in due course of time,
but it came not alone! The postman
brought two notes, which 40 bewildered
and mystifed the receivers thatthey in
dulged in another debate that ended
even more disastrously than the first.
The lady declares she will never again
make concessions, or wedding presents,
for that matter. and the gentleman takes
refuge in saying, SIT was just like a
woman!"

A certain married pair were discuss

present., the other evening, and, as
might happen in the be~stregulated fam
lilies, failed to agree as to the object and
price. The lady desired to send a cut
glass pitcher; the gentleman, soothing at
this idea, declared that nothing but sill
yer would satisfy his taste. After a very
