From the Washington Post.
The south corridor on the third floor

As the time approaches for holding
the Annual meeting of the State
Agricultural society, the question
suggests itself. Who shall serve as
its officers for the ensuing year? The
Leader takes pleasure in presenting
the name of Hon. H. w. Pratt Of
Fairibault for the!office of President of
the Society, and believes not only
that he would bring to that position
the many clear-sighted and practical
business qualifications that he so
eminently possesses, but that his
elevation to that office would meet
with hearty approval aud give general
satisfaction to the people of all Sec
tions of the state. Mr.. Pratt is we'll
known throughout the Northwest as
d thorough going, broad-gauged,
business man of the stamp that would
fit most admirably in the place re-
ferred to. He has repeatedly de-
monstrated his interest in agricul-
tural associations and fairs by liberal
contributions and support, q notable
instance of which is to be found in
his own county and should he be
chosen president of the State Agricul-
tural Society, the people who take so
lively an interest in it's present and
future prosperity would have 10 rea-
son to regret the choice.

TO Cleanse a Kerosene Barrel.

Take one head out of the kerosene
oil barrel, start a fire in the bottom,
and put bushel of dry straw or long
shavings in it; keep it burning long
enough to draw the kernsene out of
the wood; let it burn few minutes,
and just before the wood commences
to burn, turn the open end to the
ground and the flames will be smooth
cred. Use the barrel for water couple
of weeks, put the head in again, and
they are ready for cider or anything
else one chooses to put into them.
The barrels will be worth double the
the price of common ones. Of course
the other head should have similar
treatment.
