J. Newhart has sold his farm near
Gibbon for SO, 100. Considering what
property is bringing in that vicinity at

i In another column will be found an
advertisement of the celebrated Wheel
er & Wilson sewing machine The pro-
auctions OF this company have a world

The Mankato Review has an item in
regard to the New Ulm Basket Works,
| In which 1t says that it has been poor
investment for New Ulm. Our contem-
porary need not worry itself on that
score. The works, to be sure, have
been sold, but are in good hands now
and running to full capacity. The
people here have no fears but that it
will be good thing for the town.
The agricultural Society of Brown
County held their quarterly meeting at
Turner Hall, Saturday afternoon, and
among other business. decided to hold
the next fair on the grounds in this
city. September 10, 20, and 81. It is now
dnown long enough before as to when

successful in the history of the So
ciety. A special meeting of the society

The examination of the scholars of
the Turnvelein for division into class
es at Turner Hall last Sunday evening
was an interesting sight Over a hum
dred boys and girls were on the floor at
the same and at different times, and to

ments from the gallery above afforded
not only amusement, but admiration
for the training which enabled them to
execute the commands of the teacher.
For sight of q lot of well trained and
muscular children, visitor should at

Here is little incident which shows
the way some of the commission houses
of St. Paul do business. A certain par.
ty in Town shipped two different lots Of
of eggs to different houses in the Saint
: " city. The eggs We're shipped the
same day and arrived at their destina
! ton at the same time. One of the hous
: es reported ut once and allowed Il
cents q dozen. Tie other house failee
to report until they had been notified
several times and then reported only
: II cents or difference of 5 cents ,
dozen on eggs received the same day
If that is the way they generally d.
business, it is not strange that frequently
there is SO little. money in eggs.
The farmers of this vicinity are sow
ing soft wheat to great extent and the
, fact is, whether they realize it or not
that the production of this staple is de.
/ teriorating. This is evidenced in the
difference in the grade of flour. and in
consequence the mills of this city have
} been forced to place premium on hard
wheat. At present they are paying
, three cents more for hard Fife, than TO,
] the Blue Stem, and of course the far.
mer, who expects 20 reap the advantage,
is The enc who raises chiefly hard grain.
The mills are forced to do this to keen

J results will be for the best to the far
mer as well. The example VIII be fol.
loved all along the line and hard wheat
] will be in demand. The farmers had
better bear this in mind therefore, and
4 in the spring SOW only the best grades
of grain.
