Forty Years.

The fullness of the present crop
with continued favorable weather for
saving II, in our parts especially, can
but reanimate ones love for the pur-
suit that puts him face to face with
the munificent bounties of an ever
faithful soil. With all its hard work,
social isolation, ETC., there is not an
other pursuit amongst Us which places
the recompense, the sweet rewards OF
anxiety and toll. so directly and GER
tainly within our reach, as honest
farming; and but few persons with
sense and enetgy enough to fit them
for it, and stay on the farm until past
the period of youthful restlessness and
undue yearning for society and frolic,
but come to an abiding love for it.
But my ideal farmer must have a
fitness; he must understand the reason
of things; he should be philosopher
on general principles and gather in
knowledge from everywhere. from
everybody and in every way. Others,
| for one idea pursuits, can lit up with
technical education, and be pretty
sharp in their line, but it wont do
here where we are to deal with SO
many qualities and conditions of the
elements that surround US. I hope
the day will come when that knowl-
edge that pertains to plant and animal
growth will be a leading feature of all
our schools. especially the district
school, where our boys and girls of
the farm should get their very best
impressions. 1t would be very inter-
esting, and from it interest in the
practical application would go out
from the school room to the farm at
home. eDgendeEing love that might
solve the stale, but unsettled query, of
how to keep the young folks mot tine
boy merely ON the farm. But the
pencil again has rambled far away
from my forty year narrative.
Forty years ago there were no large
farms in Pierce and st. Croix counties
A few little beginnings here and there.
Judge Foster. Duncan McGregor, the
two Pomeroys, two Mapes', up the
creek; that was all. ] believe, just
about here. Nothing was done where
this city now stands. The Powell
brothers, Nathaniel and Oliver, and
their parents, lived in a small shanty
Up by the Wales mound, and the
young men (both single) put up the
first house here forty years ago this
fall. 1t was the old Pioneer Store, and
stood, think, where the bakery stood
that was burned lately.
We had to get all our flour, pork and
provisions generally from below then,
brought up by boats, and had to look
out that the barrel did not get too low
before ordering more. Mr.. Cox Uncle
Charley built the first grist mill in
these parts in lS5l-the old Clifton
mill. Though the builder has passed
away the fragments of this once
famous old mill still stand as a re,
miuder of the old times. God bless
the memory OF the one-aye, and the
other. s.

WORTHWHILE, Minn., Special, Sept.
25.--The yield of l ,l20 bushels of po-
tatoes from one acre of ground report.
ed in the Pioneer Press some weeks
ago has been the source of considera-
BILE comment. The owner of the
ground, G. Ii. Bullock, has exhibited a
few bushels of those potatoes, called
the Potentate, and their size causes
nearly as much surprise as did their
estimated yield. Such monsters had
never before been uncovered from
Minnesota earth. One of them, slight
ly larger than the average ones,
measured twenty-five and one-half by
fifteen inches in circumference, and
weighed nearly two pounds. The
others were only trifie smaller, and
Mr.. Bullock says that he has bushels
and bushels of these lsrged sized
tubers. From close calculation it will
take about twenty of these potatoes to
make bushel, AS against nearly $50
common ones.

first symptom is hoarseness; then the
