There is Lying in Yellow Bank town
ship in Lac qui Parle county, the old
est married couple in the world. Dan
iel Salisbury is lob years old, having
just celebrated his birthday, and his
wife lacks but week of being 1O1. In
January they will have been married
eighty years. Until quite recently they
lived alone in comfortable log house
on the Yellow Bank river. There has
been no particular change in them the
past three years. At this great age
their natural force is not abated. A
year ago, on his birthday, Father Sal
isbury saw hawk attack hen; he
got his old fint-lock musket and shot
the hawk as it was flying away with its
prey, saving the hen and killing the
hawk. On his Tooth birthday he walked
seven miles to Bellingham and back
home again the same day. In some
respects they are wonderful couple
AS just stated, they lived by them
selves until recently, Mrs. Salisbury
doing the cooking and general house
work, while Mr.. Salisbury chopped
the wood and attended to the other
little chores about the home.

The Farmers' Future

The London Miller says: "Calcula-
tons have been made to show that by
January, 1890, the United States will
have population of 100000, which
will require in staple crops an area OF
100000 acres to be made to the cul-
tivated land in the interval, there
would be, by the time named deficit
of nearly 100000 acres, which, of
course, will make prices go upward at
a very rapid rate. If these calcula-
tons be correct, they show that Amer
lean farmers are about to enter on a
new era of prosperity, which also
means decrease in the quantity of
-four exported from the United States
on account of better home prices.
DR.. Peter Collier, director of the New
York Agricultural Station, said recent
ly: From 1896 to 1886 the area de-
voted to our leading crops increased
127 per cent, while our population in
creased during this period 50 per cent,
and while everything points to the fact
that our arabic land is largely occu-
pied-as witness the haste to possess
Oklahoma, and the efforts to reclaim
by irrigation the arid regions of the
West-there appears to be no evidence
that our population will not steadily
increase. At present, 80 per cent. of
our products are consumed at home,
or IS per cent, not including tobacco
and cotton. 1t scarcely appears as a
hazardous prediction that within five
years, and perhaps even sooner, the
home demand may fully equal the
supply of our agricultural products,
and then, if they are wise, the farmers
of the country will be the masters of
the situation, and words of Napoleon
that agriculture is the basis and
strength of all national prosperity
will be recognized as solid truth"

Midway News: In 1880, Minnesota
had eight cities of over 5000 popula-

day there are five. The population of

Mankato Free Press: The Farmers
alliance claimed to have elected thirty
five congressman on Nov. 4. But
twenty-seven of the thirty-five have

five will appear as alliance men in the
directory of the Fifty-second congress
The alliance in politics simply plays

St. Peter Herald Dem.): We un-
derstood that Gen. Baker will contest
Lind's election principally upon the
grounds of number of illegal votes
having been cast in Nicollet county
If this is the only ground for contest
he had better drop it. The illegal
votes which he has in mind are doubt
less those cast by some of the college
students which some hold are illegal
yet if that ward was thrown out Baker
would still lack over 800 votes of an
election. We were not particularly
anxious to see Lind elected nor were
we very enthusiastic over Baker. Still
we believe that Lind was fairly elect
ed and he ought to take his seat. A
majority of the people declared it sc
and their will should be respected.

The manu- acture Of automatic cans
for packing fruits is now a great in
dustry in California, the machine for
this purpose being a masterpiece of
ingenuity. The process is begun by a
SGT of steam scissors cutting piece of
tin 14x2O into four parts, which is
passed.to feeder, then fed by rosin
fux of oil; then, by means of clamps
on a revolving wheel, the can is formed,
carried through it's various processes
by means of steam tramways to the
finishing touch, hydraulic machine,
that is, which dips it into hot water
and subjects it to test pressure, last
ly depositing it in crates, perfect can
for fruit packing made without any
inside solder and free from acid.

THE PERILS OF ISOLATION

Progressive Age: Every calling in
life has its peculiar besetments. The
merchant has his, the minister his, and
the farmer is exposed to his peculiar
temptation. We have been among the
farmers a great deal for the last three
months, and have concluded that the
farmer is tempted to mental lassitude
in the winter months. The average
farmers home is lacking in amuse-
ment. He and his family read too lit
tie. They visit and receive visits too
little. No farmer should be 1ithout
several papers in his home. They af-
ford entertainment and thus break the
weary monotony of the winter months,
and broaden and keep warm the mind
and heart of the family. To the sterl-
ing honesty and admirable simplicity
of the farmer and his family, should
be added the good cheer of vitalizing
thought of the worlds great interests.
Eighty acres or a quarter section
should never bound the vision of a
sturdy farmer. If he can feel the throb-
bling of the worlds great heart, he will
love humanity more, have more faith
in the Great Father, and thus be bet
ter prepared to love bis own Preside
and it's sacred circle. We need moth
ing so much to-day in America, as the
mutual respect and love that come
from better acquaintance with each
other. The misanthrope is as blind
as cave fish to the generous, God
urging impulses that influence hui
mainly in it's uplifting moments. The
farmer is tempted by his isolation, to
take mistaken views of the race of
which he is a unit, and especially is
this true, when his home is not warmed
by the enkindling fires of great mems
thoughts. Do not fear too many pa.
pers and periodicals.. Fear rather that
you have too few of them. Your boy
and your girl will bless you for the op
portunities of intelligence. That car
not get away. The dollars you give
them, may. Especially is their danger
if they lack the wisdom which the pa
per and magazine nurture. Brighter
the home by admitting the warming
rays of a worlds intelligence to ente
it, and life will take on an importance
otherwise impossible.

Prof. Dodge, U. S. statistician, as
serts with convincing force that in this
country, with an average per capita
consumption of us pounds of cotton,
8.5 of wool and large quantity of silk,
linen and other fibers, the claim of SUI
periority in supply of clothing cannot
well be disputed. Thus twentieth
of the population of the world con-
sumes nearly fourth of the wool
product of the world. If the people of
Europe should demand an equally lib
eral supply the earth might be secured
in vain for the requirements of such a
consumption. AS they do not, it may
be supposed that larger proportion
of cotton would be needed, but a con-
sumption equal to that of this coun-
try would not leave pound for North
or South America, Asia, Australasia or
Oceanica. Indeed, it would not suffice
for more than supply of Is pounds
per head to Europe alone.

The bad Indians appear to be max
ing a special effort to get themselves
killed off as fast as possible this winter.
Realizing that successful resistance is
hopeless, the desperate reds in Big
Foot's band chose death rather than
submission last Monday, and after be-
ing surrounded and requested to de-
liver up their arms, delivered a MUIR
derous fire from their Winchesters in
stead, killing and wounding about
thirty soldiers. The soldiers returned
the fire, and almost exterminated the
Indians.

Last weeks issue of the Northwest
ern Miller, Minneapolis, contained an
interesting review of the -four business
of that city the past year. On the crop
year, ended Aug. 81, the output was
1,O41, 600 barrels greater than the year
before. For the last quarter the pro-
duction was 100000 ahead of the same
period for two years back. For the
eleven months ended Nov. 80, the
wheat receipts were 80, IA, 40 bushels
and at the same rate as shown for the
first week in December, will reach
about 100000 bushels for the year
or 100000 bushels more than in 1899
The total elevator capacity of the city
is now 16,SO7 900 bushels, against 49,
$4,000 bushels last year, and the
cooper shops made $4,000 more bar,
rels during the present crop year than
in the preceding year.
The figures in the annual report OIL
the Dairy Commission show that in
1890 there were 994,774 COWS in the
State, an increase of 63O931 in the
past four years. The number of cream
cries in the same time has grown from
80 to 235 and the number of cheese
factories from A to 131. The butter
production of 1880 was 44,71S,574
pounds, valued. at S6,71S,674; the
quantity of cheese produced was
$685., $50 pounds, valued at 1906 ,O65.9O
The COWS, at an average of S1S each
are worth S17,796,292. This makes
tho aggregate value of the COWS, with
the butter and cheese produced il
1890, S25, 621, 031SO. While the Com
