Mcpherson Fir, eman: Out of nine bun
dred bushels of wheat (this years crop,3
cleaned at mill in this city last week,
two hundred and fifty bushels of cheat
was taken out. Mr.. Hamilton also in
forms us that quantity of wheat has
been brought to them that was scarcely
worth fifteen cents per bushel.
Stafford Herald: Some little difficulty
has been experienced in this county on
account of the corn growing up and in
terfering with the telegraph wires, and
before the corn stops growing serious
trouble is feared. Farmers will either
have to quit planting corn under the
wiree, or the wires laid under the ground
Independence Kunsan: The late rains
have depressed the price of corn. Those
who have plenty of last years crop on
hand may not be able to- sell for fifty
cents, as they could have done when the
web worm scare was at its height. In
deed in some parts of this county seven
ty-fve cents and one dollar per bushes
were named as the going prices at that
time.
Osborne Times: And now comes the,
complaint that it will be impossible to
gather this years corn crop before next
years will demand attention. Some
farmers say their corn has three or four
tassels to each stalk, and that by the
time the ears are matured they will be
80 heavy as to break down the stalk
That will save the expense of buying
ladders to reach the ears.
Osborne Farmer: The Norway rat has
made its appearance during the past
year and is multiplying very fast
They are creating considerable havoc
among chickens, Mrs. Vague having had
more than 20 killed in one night. AZ
yet the rats are principally in the bar
vest fields, but will soon take up their
quarters for the winter in the houses
and stables.
Independence Kdnsan: The Wilson
County Citizen says that many farmers
are expecting to SOW wheat the coming
fall who have not planted any foa
several years, and other farmers Wis
seed an area greater than they have
usually been sowing. 1t is apparent
that, if the weather is favorable, the
wheat acreage will be materially increas-
ed. 1t is safe to say that the increase
will amount to fifty per cent.

During one season the trade will
amount to several million dollars. In

This is because they are larger and

from all sections of tho country come

The dealers have saying that the

the Hackensack cantelopcs arrive in

sweetest and most juicy in the world.
They will not appear until the latter
part of July this year. 1t Is not their

Caricature Of st. Paul and Min.
Mc0pOlis.

From the Chicago Herald.
"Never saw anything to equal the
jealousy between St. Paul and Mime
apolis," said a traveller from Minneso-
ia. II went up there several weeks
ago and was there during the recent
hot wave. I was looking for a placet
go into business. In all the hotels of
both towns they keep Thermometers
on ice to show the visitors. That may
fool some people, but it didn' 60 down
with me. Why, in St. Paul they have
little maps made on which the name
Minneapolis doesn't appear. On the
maps i'll use in Minneapolis no such
place as st. Paulis VISIBLE. The agent
who had charge of selling the life of
Grant in Minneapolis started his men
at work first in Minneapolis. When
they got through there they went
over to st. Paul and were given the
dead cut. Nobody would even look at
the book, because they had been to
Minneapolis first. Whenever any good
business men have any little scheme
to work they start in simultaneously
in both towns, same as the publishers
print books OH the same day both in
America and England, to get the adj
vantage of copywright in both coun.
tries. Out ut Lake Minnetonka
the children who play in the
sand are divided into two sets.
One is from st. Paul and the
other from Minneapolis. They do not
speak as they pass by. The girls turn
upthcir noses at each other and the
boys throw sand. A committee of
citizens is already at work i'll each
town getting up u scheme in view of
the coming census Of 1890 1t is not
known what direction their recon-.
mendation will take, though it is hint
ed that at the last census Minneapolis
counted chickens not Matched, while
st. Paul put each married man in as
three and each married woman as
two. The day before 1 left there q
man told me that there. would be no
social intercourse at all between the
two places if it were not for the mat.
rimonial schemes. Every St. Paul
boy is taught from infancy up that it
is his duty to this world to marry q
Minneapolis girl, thereby reducing the
population by one and increasing that
OF st. Paul at least as many. Every
young man of Minneapolis is given q
cook stove, parlor suit and a baby
cab on marrying St. Paul girl. If he
marries a Nlinneapolis'girl he gets moth
ing and has his wages cut down. On
account of this marrying, St. Paul and
Minneapolis are intimately related,
you see, and this relationship prevents
any actual outbreak of hostilities.
The relations OF the intermarried fami-
lies are sort of mothcr-il-law, don't
board-on-us kind, and to this day it
isn't safe for an unmarried man of one
town to be caught out after dark in
the other. I tell you, they area queer
