MINNESOTA CROPS.

a. +. Nordin, State Commissioner Of
Statistics, sends Us the usual annual
tables showing the acreage and yield
of Minnesot" crops. From these we
gather that Minnesota produced in
1854, as follows:
Wheat, acres, 3,1G9, ,s74; bushels, So
1907; average, 1928. Increased
acreage in wheat in 1885. 7l,79
Corn, acres, 535, 1873; bushels, 1861.
49J: average, 1872 Increased acreage
in 1855, s0,s37. And yet people still
ask whether corn will grow in MINI.
Oats, acres. 1883, ,63S; bushels, &c.
07S, ,O79; average 50 SO. Increased acre
age in 1855, j,3Gl.
Barley. acres, 2S5 252; bushels, 7,00l,
5o6; average, 24.5l. Increased acreag.
in 1855, 1856.
Flax, acres, leg, G,S45; bushels, 1885,.
527. Increased acreage in 1855, lO2, ,86S.
The fix area has almost doubled III
one year. This year, therefore. Min.
nesota will produce nearly 100000
bushels of fl * seed. The bulk Of this
has been raised in the Southwestern
counties.
This crop alone represents about S3,'
OOO, 900 in cool cash to the farmers, and
the most of it will come to what was
once called 1.-The grasshOpper region
hut is now famous the world over as
the Blue Grass Region.

AYERS AMERICAN NEWSPAPER
ANNHAI

ANN UAL.
We have received this handsome and
complete publication for the year 1885.
Besides being complete newspaper
directory, it is valuable statistical
encyclopedia, and is, SO far as we know
the best newspaper directory published.
1t gives the location, county seat.
and population OF every county in the
United States.
From it you can learn the character
of the surface, the nature of the soil
and its adaptability to the growth of
the various agricultural staples of ev-
cry state, territory and county i'll the
United States, and of each of the Can
adian Provinces.
It enumerates the leading manufac-
lures of each state and county, and al
so gives the number of manufacturing
establishments, the amount of capital
invested, the number of hands employ
ed, and the value of annual products
in each state. territory and county.
compiled from the report Of the Uni
ted States census of 1880.
In it is given the population Of ev-
cry state. territory, county and coun-
ty-seat: of all the large cities and towns
and of almost every place in which a
newspaper Is published; also the color
ed population. by counties, in the
southern and southwestern states, and
the Chinese population on the Pacific
Slope.
1t also gives the political majority
of every state, territory and county,
and the number of votes polled by tile
Greenback and Prohibition parties at
the presidential election of 1884.
1t tells how many counties there are
in each state; in how many of these
newspapers are published; in how many
towns of each state papers exist, and
how many of these towns are county
seats.
It has u list of the towns, villages
and cities of the United States having
\ population of five thousand and up
ward, arranged in alphabetical order.
1t is unequalled in fullness, cerrect-
ness. oompactness of statement. variety
and value If contents, and freedom
from favoritism and prejudice.
Price $500 carriage paid.

These are all within six miles of
Worthineton and are nearly all to act.
ual settlers, who will build on and
farm the lands.
Real estate agent J. p. Mouiton has
sold during the season about 5,92l
acres within a radius Of ten miles of
Worthington, besides considerable
town property.
From other dealers we have not
been able to secure definite figures. We
are informed. however, that the Il. r.
Land Co. has sold 1850 acres to Prof.
Fogg. of st. Paul. who is putting the
lands on the market and selling them
to settlers. These are within six miles
Of Werthington.
Mr.. Barclay, of Sibley. agent for the
Iowa Land Co., has sold, we are in.
formed, from 1900 to 5000 acres in
this county.
Close Bros. have sold 1900 to 5000
acres within from seven to eight miles
Of Worthington.
From 5000 to 10000 acres have been
sold within ten or twelve miles of Wor.
thington during the dull or summer
season.
The fall and winter season is the
time to sell lands and this is now fair
ly ope led and opens briskly, as the
above arrivals and figures show.
The sales made, it will be seen, are
not in large tracts to spectators, but
are in small lots to sctual settlers. This
is exactly rs it should be, and promises
rapid development from this time on.
All land men anticipate more sales and
more development in the next FIVE
years than during the past ten or
twelve years.

1t may be said, without any dispar
agement of the land seeker, that he
scents Il good crop and follows it up as
unerringly as the grasshopper. Word
has gone out over the country that
Southwestern Minnesota has a large
crop this year and has had two abun-
dant crops in succession. The prairies
are covered with stacks and the farm
ers are enlarging their graneries.
The stream of land seekers, there
fore. has been setting this way and the
present fall and winter promise to be
one of the most active seasons in the
history of the Southwest.
Tie season having fairly set in, we
made the rounds Of our Worthington
hotels the other day and took from the
registers the names Of Il number Of re-
cent arrivals who came especially to
look for lands. The list below does

LAND SALES.
The summer season just closed has
not been Il very active one. In fact,
this season rarely is, as farmers in the
older states are busy with their crops.
Nevertheless il remarkable showing is
made in this vicinity.
W.. Aagaard, the local agent of Fred
ariksen Il Co., of Chicago, submitted
lis books to our inspection. from
which we take the following sales made
during the summer, mostly within the
last six weeks. These are all within a
radius of ten miles OF Worthington
aud are sold to actual settlers who will
develop their lands.

Aw0ke the land from dumb despair,
Who rose responsive to our needs
In answer to a EatiOn's prayer
Whose tluitful manhood, warm and true,
Through every act and in pulse ran,
Till foes whom war could o, SuhCus
Surrendered to the kindly man
0: master OF each stored field
Where mortal man with thee has strivell,
Till death itself was forced to yield
And fl before thy faith in heaven
When every battle flag is furleh,
And love HIS wiped away our tears,
When songs of peace shall thrill the world,
Thy life Shai: tower above the years
Like some calm noun tain-crowned Wit
SHOWS
Which DER the sEEs of summer sllnc--
From whose green heart a river flows,
And DER whose feet the myrtleS twine:
And Freedom s hand shall write thy name
t.mnng the few bright names Of Time,
That glow with i'll Il conQuerOr'S fame,
C;clou!ed by q cOnQueIor's crime.

BEWARE OF MERCURY AND POTASH.

BEWARE OF MERCURY AND POTASH.
Mercury is more destructive to hu-
man health and life than war, pesti-
lence and famine combined. So said u
distinguished writer many years age,
and it is as true today as then. The
poor victim of blood disease is drugged
with mercury to cure the malady, and
then dosed with iodldes to cure him of
the mercurial poisoning: but instead
of any relief, the first breaks down his
general health and makes him Grip
pie, and the other ruins his digestive
organs. Mercuey and potash are dan
gerous even when administered by di.
rections and under the eye of good
physician, and when put up in nos
trums, often by incompetent persons,
are apt to produce evil consequences.
BE careful of these poisonous mixtures
or you may regret it. Swift's Specific
is entirely vegetable preparation, and
should not be cOnfounded with the va
riOus limitations, non secret humbugs,
''Succus Alterans," etc., all of which
either contain mercury and potash, or
are composed of old remedies which
have long since been discarded as of no
value in the treatment of blood dis.
eases, and none of them contain sim
gle article which enters into the CON-
position of Swift's Specific. There is
only one Swift's Specific Is. s. S.) and
there is nothing in the world like it. Be
sure to get the genuine.
