The Sale of Harper's Ferry.

Harper's Ferry is to be sold. with the
famous little engine house where John
Brown made his final struggle, almost
the only building upon the property.
1t is said that Washington himself
selected the spot for II national ar
mory, and in 1874 the government
bought $40 acres there. added 80 more
TO this, and leased I;S95 acres more.
Shops were ut once built, and the max
ing of muskets began in 1896. The
manufacture of arms was continued
there until the rebellion broke out
when the cOnfederates captured it
without blow. 1t was soon after
taken by the Union forces, but the
machinery had been destroyed, and
'shen the war ended the village was a
total wreck. The waterpower is
thought by some to be the finest in the
world. An attempt was made to save
the engine-house and a small tract
around it, for the associations, but
Congress would not agree to it, and
the whole property will he sold October
Il, few days more than - years
since Brown made his raid.

How He Gained Fifteen Miu-
ll1eS.

A youthful member of Hon. w. =.
Dillingham's family was informed, the
other evening, that it was his bed
time, and that he must go up stairs
just as soon rs he had said his prayer.
The little fellow was very 10th to go,
and rs he knelt down, he asked, slyly,
Papa, can ask God to bless Just as
many people as want to ? "
why, certainly, my boy" was his
fathers reply. The rogue folded his
hands, and began 80 God, bless pa
pa, and bless mamma, and bless broth
er, and bless sister, and bless grandp =,
and bless grandma, and bless Aunt
Jane, and Aunt Mary, and Aunt Ju-
dith, and Aunt Helen, and bless Uncle
Fred, and Uncle Henry, and Uncle
James, and Uncle viii, and Uncle
John and o Lord, bless Mr.. Jones
and Mr.. Kemp, and Mrs. Jones, and
Mrs. Kemp, and bless Mr.. Wade, and
Mr.. Archibald"-and so the young
scamp kept it up for about fifteen min
utes, till, to avoid bursting with un-
seemly merriment, his father had to
tell him it was time to stop. The lit
tie fellow rounded off his catalogue,
and closed his prayer by saying
Snow, God, won't you have IL nice
time blessing all these people Amen"

She discussed it with her husband, who

Annie was dreaming, not of him, but

Golden Grain Notes

Willmar Republican,, of November 1, 1888,
publishes a thresher's report of Ala acres of
wheat aggregating S,66S bushels.
John Eggert, near Fort Abercrombie, Rich
land county, Dakota, 5000 bushels from 1850
acres, average some thirty-one bushels per
acre.
Peter Mcleod, of Pembina county, Dakota,
showing what good culture on a small field
will do, reports from twenty-five acres an
average of fifty bushels of wheat per acre,
and from his entire forty-acre field, an ag-
gregate OF 1, 800 bushels.
Mr.. McNally, of the great map publishing
firm of Rand, McNally 81 Co., of Chicago,
says: We publish more maps of Dakota
than we ever did of any other five states and
territories. 1 never saw anything like the
Dakota boom.
In May, 1879, the population of Walsh
county, Dakota, was but some 400, with but
1000 acres in crop. In May, 1883, popula-
ton had increased to 10000, with over
$4,000 acres under cultivation. During
these four years there has not been any fail
ure of crop.
Wheat area in Otter Tail county, Mimi,
for 1888, was 81 300 acres, an increase from
the year 1882 of 9, 100 acres.
The rapidty with which Minnesota's popu-
laton has increased is remarkable. When
admitted as a territory in 1S49, its population
was 4, $40; in 1850 it was 6,077; in 1860 it
was 172, 023; in 1870 it was 439, 407; in 1880
some $4,000; and at the close of
1888, 1t was not less than 100000.

"No. 1 Hard"

When all the rest of the agricultural world
has an excellent crop, the Red River valley
district has one far superior; and when crops
fail elsewhere, there is sure to be an abund-
ant harvest in this favored country. 1t is d
fact that a crop never yet failed in the Red
River valley. tbs as certain as the rising
and setting of the sun, and as unfailing as
the sequence of the seasons.
committee of experts, after thorough
examination of No. 1 hard Scotch Fife wheat
and its flour-making qualities reported sub
stantially as follows:
Only spring wheat is raised in the Red
River valley, and if is richer in gluten than
any other wheat yet grown in the world,
while the flour made from it excels all others.
Winter wheat is largely composed of starch
and is deficient in gluten.
The new process of milling operators to
the highest advantage only in spring wheat.
The matter may be summoned up as fol-
lows:
l. The best flour can be made only from
wheat rich in gluten
2. Southern grown winter wheat is def
cient in gluten.
3. Northern grown spring wheat abounds
in gluten.
4. The states east of the Red River valley,
in the same latitude, have too poor soil to
compete with US either in the quality or
quantity Of grain.
5. The tier of states to the south of us
cannot grow spring wheat to advantage.
6. The Middlings Purifier gives US all the
nutritive parts of our northern spring wheat.
z. Flour made by the Middlings Purifier
from Red River valley wheat commands 81
to 81 barrel more in the New York mar
ket than the finest southern brands
Thus We see that there are good reas-
ons why the central Minnesota and Red
River valley wheat is entitled to the high rep
utation it has achieved, and it must be re-
membered that not only Is the quality
superior, but that in no other part of the
world is SO large quantity raised to the acre.
Of course, the best wheat brings the best
prices, hence, of course, it is desirable TO
raise as much of it as possible. Counties in
Minnesota south of the valley, and counties
in Dakota west of it, are forced to be satisfied
with average yields varying from six to four
teen bushels per acre, while the acre, while
the average in this remarkable region is sell
dom less than twenty bushels.

Minnesota the Banner Wheat State of the
Union.
The department of agriculture has issued
its annual report, and it shows Minnesota to
be the greatest wheat state in the Union. Its
wheat crop il 1888 was 33, 773, 200 bushels,
and its acres in wheat $50, 1874. Only two
states Indiana and California; had so large
an acreage, while the yield in Indiana is 25
per cent below that of Minnesota and in Cal
ifornia the yield per acre was the same per
acre as in Minnesota, but as the quality of
the wheat was far inferior in albuminoid and
life sustaining qualities, Minncsota's right
to first place as wheat state is fairly estab-
lished. Her yield per acre was about Is per
cent. in excess of the average throughout
the United States. The report also shows the
results of large number of experiments in
London with wheat from Russia, India and
the United Stats, showing that those from
Minnesota and that section surpass India
and all parts of the United States in
quality.

North,cest Mfn1esotn.

Referring to northwest Minnesota, a well
known writer eff great experience and obser-
walton, recently said:
"a farm here is like no other on the foot
stool. 1t produces more wealth, is easier
managed and requires less to manage than
a farm in any other country on earth. There
are no rocks to clear away, as in the east;
no trees to fell, as in the middle states; no
bitches to dig, and no irrigation to plan, as
in some of the western states; no drought to
to fear, as in the southwest; no floods to
dread, as in the rich bottom lands of the Mis-
sissipp; no levees to build or fertilizers TO
buy, as in the older agricultural countries !;
and no past record Of failure to hover over
and alarm the man who plows and reaps in
the wheat garden of the universe. The land
that was put in crop eleven years ago is as
fertile to-day as then. Yearly, there is no
diminution in the productive qualities of this
unequaled land The promises of fortune
are always kept in this Mecca of the fortune
seeker. Had the searcher for marvellous
things in the old time, who boldly embarked
upon an unknown sea, and, having landed
upon an unknown coast, bravely pushed into
the forest to meet tickle Dame Fortune, who
always waits to be overtaken-had these bold
Bearchers penetrated to the imperial north
west, they would have considered their mis-
sion accomplished. There is no need to 90
beneath the surface for The gold, for it lies on
top. No great amount of labor is necessary
to accumulate great riches in a country where
the ground prepared and the seed placed be-
meath it, assures the harvest in due time.
Minnesota farms are the most profitable on
The sod, and are Il mine of wealth never fail
ing, to those who possess them"
