J. B. GR1NNELI, for whom the town Of
Grinnell, Iowa, was named, says: GIN
Grinnell there are no saloons, and no one
has been sent to Jail, to the poor house,
or to the penitentiary, for twenty-five
years. We can stand cyclone Occa-
sionally if you will keep whiskey away"
Yes, indeed. Austin could better have
a cyclone every year, than the saloons
within her borders. $4,000, our yearly
cost for liquors, would furnish material
for quite breeze to play upon, and we
do not believe that Grinnc]l or Rochester,
furnished the victims for their cyclones
that Austin furnishes every year through
whiskey. And the sorrow, the hopeless
agony of the mothers, wives and children,
cannot compare. We cannot build our
selves retreat Of masonry to save us
from its wrath. What shall we do? What
can we do to protect ourselves from the
fury of this cyclone, whose fiery breath
polutes our sons, destroys our husbands
and fathers, disgraces and humiliates our
children, and breaks the hearts of so
many of our wives and mothers. Who
can tell us the way of escape? X.

THE TAOPI FARM,
Fifty-Six Hundred Acres Under One Man
aE0ment.

People often hear of the great Taopi
farm in Southern Minnesota, but there are
comparatively few who know it's extent
or that it is more than great grain field
on the Dalrymple plan. The fact is, that
it is farm devoted.tO the usual diversity
of interests, but on scale of such magni-
tude as to margin the fabulous.
The Yaopl farm is made up of $500
acres. all under fine stage of cultivation.
1t is located in the town of Lodi, Mower
county, about 90 miles southeast of Aus
tin, on the Chicago, Milwaukee s. St, Paul
railroad. The land lies handsomely and
is mostly rolling prairie, just ehoug h of
it being low to permit of excellent pastur
age during the dryest seasons. It is own:
ed by the Taopi Farming Co., made up of
John w. Wood; MIR. Wood being the gen
eral superintendent, AID David Wood,
his brother, assistant.
The number of acres in grain this year
are 1854, as follows: corn, 400 acres;
wheat $50 acres; barley, 400 acres; oats,
700 acres; flax, 200 acres; buckwheat, so
acres; potatoes, 80 acres; turnips, 20 acres.
There are 1900 acres devoted to meadow,
and 1900 tons Of hay, mostly timothy
and clover, have been cut and secured
this season; three tame grass pastures,
one OF 100 acres and two of $50 acres each.
There are 600 acres of wild grass pasture,
all well fenced. There are three hog past
ures; one Of 40 acres, one of 80 acres, and
one of 60 acres.
There are 1900 sheep and $50 lambs on
the farm, also 500 cattle, 200 mich COWS,
of which 80 are registered short horns,
the balance are young cattle. But 100 of
the cows are in the dairy, the others having
their calves running with them. Last
spring $9,9SO worth of cattle were sold
off the farm. There is full equipped
cheese factory on the place, in which the
dairy product is well worked up and sent
to the St. Paul market. There are 200
work and young horses on the farm, and
800 hogs.
The farm has $4,000 worth of farm
buildings, all in elegant repair, including
two large, we'll equipped farm houses,
| residences for superintendent and board
ing houses for the men, of whom so are
| employed. 1t is seventeen miles around
the farm and it requires days for stranger
to look it over and take in it's details.
The raising of wheat on this great farm
is but trit1e of its entire industry, and
should any particular crop fail, its loss
would hardly be noticed in the general
result. The plan upon which this farm
is managed, with its cattle, horses, sheep,
hogs. wheat, oats, corn. flax and other
grain and vegetables, is the true plan,
and the Taopi farm, which was compare
lively failure as an exclusive wheat
field, is now great and growing success.
Under the same management the same
company has another little farm of 800
acres at Blooming Prairie, Steele county,
forty or fifty miles north on the same
railroad. On this farm which has $1,000
worth of farm buildings, everything is
conducted on the same plan as at Taopi,
and everything is successful. -Fdir6ault
Democrat, Aug. 81.

ORAL AND WRITTEN SPELLING
The Advant ages of Each Expresse,

The practice of oral spelling is useful
in cultivating habits of attention and ord
er, and especially in giving CORRECTNESS, of
pronunciation. The following rules to
be observed in oral spelling have been
found by actual practice to be very help
full:
|. The teacher should assign definite
lessons; at first short, and increasing in
difficulty with the proficiency of the pu-
pill. -a. TIL
2. The. teacher should be careful to pro-
nounce correctly and accent properly,
and not misspronounce word to favor q
pupil-thus, hemi-sphere.
g. T he teacher should adopt rigid sys-
tenn of marking the work of spelling, thus
showing that correct spelling is regarded
as a matter of vital Importance.
4. The teacher should not require pu-
pills to commit to memory in order the
words of a spelling lesson.
5. The teacher should require pupils in
oral spelling occasionally to define words,
and construct sentences showing the
meaning and use of the words.
6. A list of words, difficult of spelling,
should be constantly kept on the black
board, 50 that they can be frequently re-
ferred to and spelled until mastered.
7. The element of emulation may be
iudici0usly employed in choosing sides,
''gOlng above, etc.
8. The pupils should be permitted to
try aoord bit once. The object is to gain
positive knowledge, and not ingenuity
at guessing.
8. When word misspelled has been
spelled correctly, those misspelling it
should be required to spell it.
10. Every letter in syllable should be
uttered with the same degree of strength.
II. Frequent short oral exercises, aside
from and in addition to the regular SPELL
ing lesson. should be given.
The advantages OF torstte'a spelling may
be summed up in the following:
/. The child's spelling in the way, and
almost the only aoay, that he will be requir-
ed TO spell as an adult.
2. Instead Of spelling one word or two,
as in oral spelling, each pupil does all the
,oork.
8. The handwriting may be cultivated.
4. The hand learns cunning by early
written practice in spelling, and moves
almost intuitively, without the mind s
stopping scarcely to think of what letters
are to form the word.
5. The mental picture is more keenly
impressed by writing the word than by
oral spelling alone.
Use capital letters in written spelling
