THE HARVEST.

Barley and oats are about harvested
and wheat harvest is beginning. Flax
is ripening fast in many places and
will soon be ready to cut. Owing to
the warm dry weather, harvest comes
q week or two earlier this season.
The reports during the past week are
very encouraging. Some farmers say
they have the best wheat they have
ever had. While it does not stand as
thick on the ground as usual, the
heads are we'll developed and the berry
is plump. We hear estimates of 20 and
even % bushels to the acre. Oats also
have come out beautifully, the heads
being well filed. The general report
as to flax is that all early sown flax,
where the ground was prepared. is do
ing well and will yield about an aver
age crop. The failure is in late sown
and sod flax.
Upland grass is short and the supply
of upland hay will therefore be short.
But farmers say that cattle are doing
unusually we'll, the grass seeming to
be more nutritious than heretofore.
Altogether the drouth has not been
so great as it appeared. In some re-
spects it has been an advantage and
observing farmers tell US that next
year after a drouth is sure to bring
large crops. Dry years are favorable
for destroying weeds and getting the
land in good condition.. This is also
an excellent year for making roads,
sinking wells, making bitches, putting
| in sewers and laYinC tile.

RANSOM.


Harvesting has already commenced.
Oats are rather thin on the ground but
we'll filled. There has been more hay
put up than usual at this time of the
year.
We have tried to have it rain but
failed until Sunday, when we had a
light shower. We have left stacks un-
topped and rain water barrels out of
place but all to no purpose until Sum
day; but the crops still continue to
grow.
Stock of all kinds is looking l}ne.
Mr.. Pascoe's large herd is looking very
fine. The neighbors seem to be we'll
pleased with the management of the
herd. They take quite an interest in
having them we'll handled.

it.-Spirit Lake Beacon.

The COUNTY PAPER.

had little to say about its circulation
or its business. The facts that the
ADVANCE is the county paper,-that
its success was long ago assured, and
that it was and is permanently estab-
lished; that, while men may come and
men may 60, the ADVANCE, like the
brook, ''goes on forever, ,''-these facts
had become so we'll understood among
the people of the county that very lit
tie allusion to circulation or business
seemed called for.
Recently, however, in taking some
advertisements, some of our patrons
have inquired as TO whether the AD-
VANCE was ''holding its own,' wheth-
er the circulation was general in both
ends of the county; whether our rates
were not little high compared with
other papers in the county.
10 these questions we have replied
as we do now in print, that the AD-
VANCE holds it's own and could hold
more subscribers, but does not desire
them unless they are good paying ones;
that our circulation is general over the
county, over the east end and the west
end, the north side and the south side,
and that it spills over into the sur
rounding counties to some extent;
that while our advertising rates are
the same il not less than the other pa
pers in the county, we lay their adver-
tisements before the ,rlo!e county, and
not before the people of merely one
part of t., Or before 4 particular class
or party. The ADVANCE is not i.
Worthington paper merely, it is 4
county paper, and speaks for the whole
county, does justice TO all parts of the
county, and gives the news Of the en-
tire county.
Ofcourse our principal list is through
the Worthington po5tonice, but we
have good lists, some Of them quite
large, at Adrian, Rushmore, Bigelow,
Brewster, kinbrae, Fulda, Edgerton.
Iona, Little Rock: Round Lake, Ellis
worth, and send small lists to about
all the postotfices in the surrounding
country. Our foreign list, of course,
is not large, but it is respectable.
Even these go to considerably over a
hundred postotfices, while our packages
go to about forty.
The ADVANCE claims no "big'' cir
culation, cannot claim or expect it in
a new county, sparsely settled compar-
ed to older counties. But it does
claim general circulation in the coun.
ty where it is printed; it does claim to
have the general public ear and to be
generally read by all classes, parties,
sexes, ages and conditions. When the
ADVANCE mentions name or bust.
ness it is seen and noted all over the
county and the ''suburbs." Therefore
the ADVANCE can charge for its space
with a good conscience. The space is
worth the money and much more than
is charged, compared with rates 10 old.
er communities. Therefore, too, the
ADVANCE can do and continually does
some of its worst enemies a great ia
vor by mentioning their names and
their business as matter of news.
Advertisers desiring to verify our
statements as to general and ''wide-
spread" circulation can do 80 at any
time.

And Poems are begotten and not made,

Which. fed and cultured, grows to It's own
Like developed and harmonious spirit.
