TO the Stock Raisers, Dairymen. and
Projectors of Creameries and Cheese
Factories in Minnesota: 1t is a matter
of great Importance to the dairy ana
stock raisers of Minnesota, that these IN
terests be fully represented at the " orlds
Exposition, to be held at New Orleans
the coming winter. Beyond question
this will be the greatest aggrandizatlon
Of peoples, industries and products ever
brought together in one place in the his
tory of the world. Not only are the ar
rangements made on the most magnificent
scale, but the interest awakened and the
cooperation OF Governments and peoples
of every nation in the world, and the col
lections already gathered establish the
statement that men have never seen the
like of this last and greatest OF the
Worlds Great Fairs.
There is special significance to Min
'nesota dairymen in this exposition, from
the fact that it is held in the South, and
near to the South American States and
Mexico. They are all non-produclng
countries, and with their 60, ZOO, 600 peo-
pie they furnish market near at hand,
with water communication from our doors
to theirs. One chief object of the ex-
position is to establish better commercial
relations between the Mississippi Valley
and the South American States. No class
of people are so directly interested in this
as our dairymen. because it ruts us into
direct contact with countries which not
only do not compete with us in dairy
products, but which must all the time
depend upon other countries for these
articles. We want Minnesota dairymen
to be equal to the opportunities Of this
great occasion. We must see to 1t that
our exhibit in this line shall not suffer in
comparison with that of other States. 1t
is true that the dairy interest is one of the
youngest in the State of Minnesota, but
it is also one of the most promising. 1t
is now demonstrated that the healthful-
ness of our climate for stock, the salu-
brity of our atmosphere, the purity of our
water the quality Of our soil, and of the
grasses which it produces-the blue grass
which makes Kentucky famous, growing
as to the manor born" besides 100 native
and all the cultivated varieties of grasses
and the abundant yield of all butter
producing grains, mark Minnesota as the
Banner State in this great industry. l
appeal, therefore, to you, whose pros
perity lies in this interest, to sustain by
yonr individual action and influence, the
effort to place Minnesota where she be-
longs in this gigantic competitive ex-
hibition.
The most liberal inducements are offer
ed to secure displays from private diaries,
as well as from creamerieS and cheese

$20, 900 GONE !-San Francisco, Cal. The Chronicle publishes in substance the follow. ing marvel. Captain W. F. Swasey, the old est pioneer of tho coast, makes statement ot the intense suffering of his friend Col. D. J. Williamson, an army officer of distinction and an Ex-U. s. Consul, who was attacked in the winter of 1861-2 with violent rheumatism. So great was his agony in after years, he be- came helpless cripple, and after trying num- berless remedies, the baths of other countries and spending fortune of $20, 1000, the dis ease seemed to assume a more virulent type.
 Finally, he was persuaded to try St. Jacobs Oil, the great conqueror of pain. It worked miracle of cure. In letter to the Chron- icle he confirms Capt. Swaseys statement and adds: ''I cheerfully give my unqualified at- testation to the truthfulness of the statement.
 because feel perfectly pertain that a knowl- edge of my cure by St. Jacobs Oil, will prove the means of relieving hundreds of sufferers. !"

THE Montreal people were unfortunate in the weather for their chosen week of carnival, but notwithstanding the city was thronged, and all went merry. Visitors were charmed with the novelty of the sports, with the ice pelace, brilliant at night with electric and colored lights, and with the warm welcome given them by the Canadians, who seemed to enjoy even the constantly falling snow. The carni- val is now an established "annual." Tc- bogganing, however, is what the peop' e from the states most enjoy. The fash-llke descent of the steep slopes is fascinatir g to the novice, who, once convinced that ii is not dangerous, can't get too much of it. The skating and games on ice are all novel, and the snow shoe races ludicrous. Nc doubt the toboggan sports at night, with the gaily illuminated courses, and gre tesquely costumed tobogganers were most enjoyed by visitors. The rink masquer. ades were, being with enclosures, enjoyed by fewer, but hugely enjoyed by as many as the buildings could hold. The street were continually lively with flying sleighc and pedestrians, going from one point o1 attraction to another.

Parents, if you will do the best you can to educate your children, buy them the latest edition of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary to use at home, and either the "High School" Academic" or "Count ing House" edition for daily use in the in termedlate and grammar school depart ments. If you cannot furnish both give them at least the "High School edition none smaller. advised the scholars il the grammar department the first of the present term to procure the text book. A few have it. If the books are not furnish ed, your children will suffer great neglect I will not argue the question. "A proph ct IS not without honor save ill his OWL country" President Porter of Yale col lege says, ''It is acknowledged by all tc be very desirable that every school and every scholar should be furnished with the best English dictionary. No one doubts that it is we'll that the large dictionary should lie upon the teachers table, and that some one of the smaller dictionaries should be in the hands of every scholar. , The following article clipped from the School Journal of Feb 9th indicates briefly the use of the book:
 USE OF THE DICTIONARY.
 All textbooks are but tools, most of which pass quickly from use. The dictionary, usu- ally the biggest tool of any student, stays in use the longest. Strange to say it is often the tool he uses least skillfully. Upon the dic- tionary of our language the pupil deserves in struction; it will repay study, Many school rooms have no dictionaries, and few teachers know how to use them: few, indeed, know their highest uses.
 Pupils should be encouraged to write in a notebook for future investigation all words OF expressions about whose spelling, pronuncia- tion, or correctness they may have doubts, which they cannot solve at once. CD. Mean ings (2). pronunciation (3). syllabication of words, and in advanced classes (4). their synonyms can be found in this book. There are some 2,000 words in English as to the pro- nunciation of which there are important differ ences, and great many of accepted varying orthography. Preference, therefore, must be given by teachers for the best usage and for the simpler forms. This requires only indus try and attention.
 Drills on SOUNDS and the MARKS indicating them will be needed, but these are necessary to the skillful use of the dictionary. Definite drill on sounds with chart will familiarize pu- pills by eye and ear at once with the marks and the sounds they indicate.
 Attention should be systematically called to the reading matter at the beginning and end of the book. Pupils are in danger of missing these laboratories of learning unless made acc quainted with them in school. Faithful teach CTS will not omit the appendices, both for what is curious and useful to the pupils and them selves.
 Daniel Webster studied the dictionary daily for ten years to gain command of language. Your children need similar cul- ture. 'A word to the wise is sufficient. !"

Strawberries on the Farm.

Tho catalogues are confusing with their
many varieties, old and new. For homo
use, no new or untried kinds are worth taxi
ing ss gift; what we want is fruit aud
plenty Of it. Charles Downing, Bidwell,
and Sharpless are among the reliable kinds
that have been tested and may be planted
with confidence. Having ordered the
plants, prepare place for them. The size
ofthe bed will Of course depend upon ths
number Of plants, which are to be two feet
apart each way from one another, and two
feet from the margins of the bed. Make
the sill rich with old, decomposed manure
and ashes, to be worked in 8 deep as posi-
BILE by spading. When the plants come,
their roots should be shortened or cut back
10 two.thIrds or one-half their former
length, and all the dead leaves removed.
In planting, open wide hole with the
hand, and spreading the roots in all direc-
tions, separating those that are matted,
carefully work the earth in among them,
and having coyered them with earth press

1t is probable that clusters Of flower buds
will appear in the center of some OF the
plants, if SO, pinch them offs soon as they
are seen, as we now wish TO raise plants

Teach the Bows to Use Tools.

Last year friend of mine, who has
three boys, selected Chest Of Tools rs a
premium for collecting clubs for an agri-
cultural paper, and surprised an delighted
the lads with it. They went TO work and
fitted themselves up a workshop in the loft
over the wagon shed, and there they con-
trive 10 spend many an hour pleasantly
and proftablv. My friend said to me, al
am surprised TO see how proficient the boys
are becoming in the use of their tools.
Why, they have made us many little ar
ticles for use about the house and barn, TO
more than pay for the cost Of the tools, If
keep on thus, a carpenter will be unnec
cessary here" This experience can be re-
peated in any family where there are boys
to the satisfaction ard benefit of all con-
cerned. Giye the boys chance to show
what they can do. A set of tools will keep
them busy on rainy days and odd SPELLS,
and out OF mischief. Every success will
encourage them in larger undertakings, q nd
quite unconsciously they will develop a
knowledge of mechanics which will be
practical aud useful to themselves and
others oil their lives, and almost every day,
the year round, on the farm, about the
house, anywhere. and everywhere. The
cost ofa SET Of tools good enough for them
to experiment with, is small, and cannot be
invested to better account. II you can not
spare the money, encourage them to get up
club for paper giving premium chests OF
tools. If thev do not quite succeed, help
by contributing little cash for the differ
ence. The Investment will come back be
fore you know it. Most farmers having
more expensive tools, do not like TO have
boys use them for fear oi possible damages,
and they grow up almost entirely ignorant
Of saw, and plane, and chisel. Let the m
have tools Of their own, and show then
how to take proper care of them. Teach
them all you know about them, and set
them at little easy jobs. When they do
these we'll, let them know their work is ar
preciated, and they will become ambitious
to do still better work, and take pride in III
so will you, when you come to see that they
a:e able to do what you have heretofore de-
pended on outside labor for. One of the
most convenient things about the house oil
farm, is a man who can use tools.-EBKN

Saving the Road Wash.

Every road not on dead level has more
or less debris which has fertilizing value
washed off upon its side. The water itself
is valuable, and will make grass wherever
it spreads. In a billy country or one Of
gentle grades, nearly all this water, and
the fertIlizing matter it carries, may be
turned of at frequent intervals upon the
sdjoin ing pastures and meadows. The
dust and debris OF the highway consists Of
finely pulverized soil and stone ,Whi con-
tains more or less lime, potash and ether
valuable material so minutely DIVIDED that
water makes il Immediately available IoI
