Building prospects among our farmers
never promised as much as 1t does for the
coming spring. Every farmer you see going
out of town has his wagon loaded with stone,
intended to be used for foundation for a
residence or for the foundation of granarY
or barn, all Of which shows that our farmers
are in healthy state financially and are going
| to provide themselves and their stock with
more comfortable quarters Tor an
other winter. Certainly no one will
charge that the present weather is not Il suf-
! fcient reminder Of what Minnesota winter
can do, when put TO the test. All good men
/ will commend the wisdom Of the farmers in
making themselves and their stock com fort
| able with the proceeds Of their crop, rather
than invest It in adjoining lands for the pur-
pose Of speculation. Blue Earth county Is
solid financially, and she can thank the d.
ycrsided industry Of her farmers for all
| Of it.
