Arbor Day Proclamation.

State of Minnesota, Executive De-
partment.
To The People Of the State Of Mn
nesOta:
The subject of forestry, or tree cul-
ture lie becoming recognized, not only
in our prairie states, but throughout
this country and in other lands, rs
of very great Importance. The pres
ence of trees, groves and forests avert
droughts, promotes productiyeness or
soil, lessons the extremes OF tempera-
ture, moderatss the severities OF cll-
mate and tends to make the season
euuable. Trees and forests beautify
the country; they make 1t tolerable
and fit for occupancy by civilized man
q scene TO delight his eye and n home
to satisfy his heart.
The United States encourages the
planting ottimber upon its vacant
prairie lands. Minnesota and other
states offer bouuties for the growth OF
trees. Agricultural Societies and
Forestry Associations award premi-
ums to those who on some one day,
called "Arbor Day." plant the most
trees. In some of the states, in two
at least Of those yet we'll wooded, the
Legislature has authorized or reques-
ted the Governor to designate one day
annually for the planting Of forest
trees and the general advancement of
the interests of forestry.
Minnesota has equal need Of abun-
daut and We'll distributed forests, and
will reap equal advantages with other
states from the adoption and practice
of the gro wing custom.
1 do therefore hereby appoint and
set apart Thursday, the twenty-third
day Of the present month to be OBJ
served as Arbor Day In Minnesota.
Aud recommend that the people
give that day to the planting OF trees
shrubery for ornamentation as we'll
as use, in commons and parks as well
as in their private premises, around
public buildings and on school
grounds, by the side Of the roads and
streets; and that using care i'll the Sc
lection of varieties, aud exchanging
views and distributing information on
the subject, they direct their efforts
towards intelligent and enduring re-
suits.
Ifthose who intend to plant some
trees some day, will make their in
tentions effectuaI by planting them
on that day, if it shall become n Gus
tom to devote annually one day to
starting trees for use or ornament,
even ten years will have added many
fold to the attractiveness and value
of our homes, whether in town or
country.
Given under my hand and the Great
Seal of the State, at the Capitol in
the City of st. Paul, this second day
of April, \. D. one thousand eight
hundred and eighty FIVE.
BY the GOVERNOR:
L. T. HUBBARD,
FRED VoN BAUMBACH,
Secretary of State.

Swift County Press: When you
hear man cursing the town and
country he lives in set him down i'm
mediately as the one to be blamed.
The custom is becoming altogether too
common among men who could never
succeed anywhere, to belittle, orstrive
to the advantages of their present To-
cation. AS men are no help to any
country, their statements should re-
ceive weight in proportion to their
personal usefulness.

Rats have great aversion to the
odor of the chloride of lime, and,
when mixed with water and poured
into the holes through which the rats
pass, they usually vacate their haunts.
This mixture is harmless, does not
kill the rats, but driYes them away
sometimes.

Draining is valuable for many things
beside carrying from land the surplus
moisture. Air enters the drained soil
and with this begins series of chemi-
cal changes by which the earth is
sweetened and made ready for grow
ing crops. The healthfulness Of a To-
cality is greatly improved by thorough
drainage. In many instances tiles
take the place of quinine and the
ditcher's bills those Of the family

survivors of that memorable march to

smiling valleys and peaceful homes,
where once the stern cry of the sentinel
rang out in challenge and the roar of
the cannon awoke the mountain echoes

GLENDALE.

Our farmers have about finished their fod-
der saving. Blade pullings have been the
order Of the day for the past week, but our
most thrifty farmers have abandoHed the old
topping and stripping plan and adopted the
cutting up.
Our popular tOwnsman, Henry d. Mack
lin, who has been at the point of death, is
better. DR.. Marshall has sanguine hopes of
his recovery.
Mr.. ]. A. Ellegood is quite sick.
DIR. George Prettyman came over from Mil
ton to attend Mrs. S. L. Reed, who is quite
i'll.
Our school managers have, by the recon-
mendation of Prof Carpenter engaged to
fill the place left vacant by Miss Hettie Ar
mold, Miss Trainer, ofWarwick, Maryland
She will take charge of the school this week
for term of ten months.
Our evaporators have about finished the
seasons work, which seems to have proven
very satisfactory.
Capt A. K Hail. of Milford, is improving
his building with a new roof and siding OH
his farm on the State road known as the old
lester Property"
The Railroad Company seems to be in an
unpleasant position over the land which they
claim and have held since the road was built,
as a gift of VIM. McCauley, of Wilmington.
Since his death, his heirs claim the land along
the track and demand rent. This week the
railroad officials in a special car with their
attorney, Jacob Moore, took in the situation
aud examined our citizens as witnesses.
There seems to be a great misunderstanding
among the parties.
Mr. Charles Jester, from near Bridgeville,
this week bought the peaches as they came
to the depot He gave $500 per basket and
shipped them.
Mr.. John Owens has been buying from or
chards at 65 cents per basket and hauling
them to Greenwood, a distance of thirteen
miles, and selling there for Sis per basket.
This paid him well for his trouble.
