When we read in certain news
papers the "booming' articles for
their respective counties-how every
body in the county is getting rich,
&C., and that it is the best county in
the state for settlers, and then make
a note of the fact that these same
newspapers contain from four to six
columns of "Notices of Mortgage
Foreclosure Sales,' we come to the
conclusion that the aforesaid news
papers do not at all times tell the
TRUTH

Minnesota Yield of Wheat.


At the request of the Commissioner
Of Statistics, the county auditors Of
many of the counties in the state
have made estimates of the acreage
and yield of the principal cereals, to-
gether with the flax crop of 1889. The
only county in this section of the
state that we have seen published is
Big Stone, which is as follows:
Wheat $4,000 acres, 1900 bushels;
oats, $500 acres, 297 800 bushels corn,
1000 acres, 10000 bushels; barley,
1000 acres, $1,000 bushels; flax, 300
acres, $500 bushels. We shall pub
lish the statistics of Stevens county
as soon as we can obtain them.
Since the above was in type we
have the State Commissioners esti-
mate OF the number of acres sown
and the amount of grain raised in all
the counties of the state. Stevens
county is set down as follows: Acres
Of wheat sown, 32,994; bushels raised,
55O, $685. average per acre, 1876. Acres
of oats sown, 1926; bushels raised,
Az, $50. Acres of corn planted, 1000;
bushels raised, 5000. Acres of bar
ley sown, 900; bushels raised, 1880.
Acres of flax sown, 1,105; bushels
raised, 11,050. We think the COM
missioner has estimated the average
yield of wheat in Stevens county too
low, as will be found when the real
facts are known,
It is estimated that 1921 ,437 acres
of wheat were sown in Minnesota
this year, the smallest wheat acreage
sown during tho past six years. Esti-
mated number of bushels of wheat
raised in the state this season, 49,
49s, ,205; average per acre, los. With
the exception of 1884 and 1885, this
years crop of wheat is the largest
ever raised in this state.
OF course the above amounts are
arrived at largely by estimation, but
still they undoubtedly approximate
quite near to the real facts. The
average yield per acre Is given as 1876
bushels, which was exceeded in 1886,
1884, 1877, 1874, 1873. 1872 and 1869.
The greatest average yield was in
1869, being IT. bushels, and the
smallest IN 1876, being only an aver
age of 0.6. The greatest total yield
was i'll 1884, when the North Star
state was credited with so, ,475, OFT
bushels.

We doubt if there is any crop which
III ordinary years can be grown with more
satisfaction than sweet potatoes. There
are surely but few vegetables so palatable,
yet many do not raise them in any guam
tity on account of the trouble of keeping
them through the winter. The potatoes
are usually dug with hoes, but in large
quantities may he dug in an easier mani
ner. As soon as heavy frost strikes the
vines, which is readily known by the
leaves, turning back cut off the vines
close to the ground; then, with a heavy
two horse pillow throw two potato rows
together; then follow, remove the tubers
carefully from the stem and lay them on
the soft soil between the rows to dry off,
which they will do in an hour or so.
They must be handled as carefully as
eggs, especially at this time, as the skin
is very tender and can be rubbed off by
the hand, nor should they ever be
thrown, but carefully laid down. This
is very important feature of safely
keeping them through the winter. 1t
may seem unnecessary trouble, yet if
sweet potatoes are expected to keep in
good condition they cannot be handled
too carefully. As soon as they are dried,
carefully rub off any adhering loan or
soil by turning each tuber around in
your hands couple of times, and then
place them in the baskets, barrels or
chests in which they are to be stored so
that they cannot be readily shaken about
when the packages are handled If in
tended for immediate shipment, they are
at once forwarded in well ventilated
barrels or boxes. Large strawberry crates
are excellent to pack in when intended
for keeping, as they are not so deep as
barrels. If intended for winter use or
sale, the packages should be stored in a
well ventilated place, free from damp
ness, where they can remain until cold
weather comes on, when they should be
removed to warm room. The packages
containing the potatoes should not be
moved more than is absolutely necessary,
as changing them from place to place is
apt to produce sweat and decay. One of
the very best places to keep sweet pota-
toes during winter is tight loft or room
over the kitchen, so constructed that the
heat from below can readily be utilized
in warming the loft or upper room, 1t
should be borne in mind that rats and
mice are very fond of ''sweets, and will
soon do considerable DAMAGE amona

A Barrel Crank's Invention.

1t is all very well to laugh at a man
who does foolish thing as a crank, says
Alfred Trumble in the New York Daily
Ne'rS, but there is crank now making
a show of himself in the dime museums
of this country who has an idea that will,
with certain notifications, be found of
value some day, am sure This is Car
Isle d. Graham, the Buffalo cooper, who
navigated Niagara in a cask, or says he
did. Graham, / may premise, is man
who, in spite of a defective education,
possesses decided intelligence, and is far
superior in character and station to others
who claim to have outrivaled his fool
hardy and useless feats. He has invented
species of barrel-shaped lifeboat in
which | can, as an old boat sailor, dis
cover many merits. 1t is constructed
upon a sound scientific plan, and is well
worthy of much more consideration than
it at present gets, or perhaps ever will.
should advise persons interested in
maritime matters to hunt Graham up,
and give his neat and comprehensive lit
tie model some serious attention
Stranger things have happened than that
such an idea should come to something
and the problem of life saving at sea i.
too far from being yet satisfactorily
solved to permit of any chance of solving
it being neglected.

CARE OF CALVES,

The Maine Farmer truly says there is
much bad management with calves in the
colder months of the year. If confined
to the pasture where they have run dur
ing the summer, without additional food,
they are sure to grow thin in flesh and
lose ground when they ought to be grow
ing right along. On the other hand, if
turned into a run of extremely fresh grass
they are quite liable to scour, and many
times this difficulty will follow so long as
the grass lasts. Later on they are left
out exposed to the cold storms and frosty
nights of late autumn and compelled to
live as best they are able on only frosted
grass. As result of all this they come
to winter quarters reduced in condition
and actually less in weight than at time
two or three months previous.
Now, what has been gained from the
feed they have consumed during the time
and from the time that has passed with
out grain? This has all been lost, and
more than lost, for it will take some time
and good feed to turn the tide and start
them again into thrift. A good practice
is to house them nights and give extra
feed of some kind. We have secured
very satisfactory results from feed of
good hay each night at the barn. OF
course more rapid growth can be made
by adding wheat bran, crushed oats or
linseed meal. At any rate they should
be kept thrifty growing, and to do it
must have something good to eat beside
what they can get in pasture at this sea
son Of the year.

rand Swimming Fish.

It is understood that for short dis
tances the salmon is the swiftest of fishes.
II has been estimated that its speed, at
high pressure, or under chase, is from
twenty to twenty-five miles an hour For
long distances the shark is believed to be
the most rapid swimmer. Goldsmith,
referring to it in his Natural History
says: "He outstrips the swiftest ships Gn
those days., plays round them, darts out
before them, returns, seems to gaze at the
passengers, and all this while does not
seem to exhibit the smallest effort to pro-
ceed." 1t is calculated that sharks are
capable of keeping up speed of from
seventeen to twenty miles an hour. The
whale, when hard pressed, can make
about fifteen miles an hour, though its
usual speed seldom exceeds five. =.

EARN AND GARDEN NorEs


Hog cholera is often a proof of bad
feeding.
Did you select and secure your corn be-
fore the frost?
How much land do you astc in fenc-
ing your farml
Plenty of salt is as good for hogs as
for the COWS, especially if the hogs are in
pasture.
If the cows are to do good service next
winter, they must receive proper care and
attention now.
If the frost cut the tomato vines before
the fruit was mature il may pay to pick it
for the hogs or cows. We feed ours to
the cows.
It is said that sorrel horses are less
sensible to heat than horses of other col
ors, and that they have more endurance
than others.
Farmers are becoming more and more
of the opinion that it is the early plow-
ing and not so much the early sowing that
brings the best wheat.
Have as few fences on the farm as pos
sible. They are one of the biggest taxes
the farmer has, and he should cut them
down as much as possible.
In many cases it viii be found a good
plan to apply good dressing of well
rotted manure around the strawberry
plants in the fall before mulching.
Now is the time to remember that it
rarely pays to keep summer pigs over the
winter-crowd them so that they can be
ready for market by the holidays at least,
Milk that is quickly and without agi-
tation cooled to forty-fve degrees or

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
Hint TO CELERY GROWERS.

We all know of the trouble and delay
Of gathering the stalks Of celery plants
together before the earth is drawn about
it if each one has to be tied up or held
separately. For three years, says |. V.
Shank, in HusbaRdmdn, have
adopted the following plan, which
ut first was an experiment, the
results of which has proved entirely
satisfactory; dug trench about nine
inches in width. Set the plants about
five inches apart directly along the centre
of trench. Before drawing in earth |
crowd the space between the bank and
the plants with straw, which elfectually
prevents the soil from coming in contact
with the celery, and so continues to the
required height; after which cover the
top with straw to the depth of four
inches, and finally cover all with earth
to depth sufficient to protect from
freezing if left out over winter.
