the county know what he has to offer.
Watch the TRIBUNE closely fer his
announcements from week to week.
Some farmers are reasoning thus
eff thresh now / Will have to sell
nv wheat at once, at the market price,
to pay store bills, if wait awhile UNI
til prices advance, and then thresh, l
will make money" Therefore many
machines are idle and the hands dis
charged. Every effort now should be
to hold the wheat until the last posi-
BILE moment. Prices may go down for
time yet but they are sure to be
better this fall.-Browns Valley Re-
portefi
The Harvest Festival given in the
roller rink last Friday evening, i'll
spite of threatening weather, was very
successful and pleasant. The rink
was tastefully decorated with pictures
flags, flowers, grasses and the pro-
duets of the held, and being well
lighted, presented an unusually at
tractive appearance. There was q
large attendance, fine music and an
ABUNDANCE of delicious things to eat
and the entire evening was spent in a
most delightful way:
In the grove upon Charles Winter
mute's farm are large number OF
plum trees and as usual they are
heavily loaded with plums. With
characteristic generosity Mr.. Winter
mutes authorizes the TRIBUNE to in.
yite any who wish, to Sisit the place
and enjoy the fruit. There are bHt
few people owning plum groves who
have the goodness to allow everybody
to help themselves, but MI: Winter
mute is one of the few. Whenever he
has anything desirable, he never fail:
to pass 1t round.
Well-to-do farmers, who can AFFORD
the expense, make it point to 60 t.
, the state fair, and to exhibit there
This is commendable, provided sucl
farmers do not entirely ignore tn
county, or other local fairs. The loca
fairs really do more for the improve
ment of agriculture than do the larg
!, state fairs. TO make them useful, al
y the farmers should exhibit at them
and Of their best. The good done q
:" these fairs, where the majority Of Wis
itors know one another, through thei
social Observation-Disclosures farmer
and their wives to meet one anoth el
and talk oyer matters Of mutual II
e terest, is incalculable. BY all mean
# go to the local fair, and exhibit th
