Mr.. c.. D. Gilfillan.
And it is with peculiar pride for
the institution and a certain sense of
gratitude to the proprietor for its To-

GAZETTE points to it as an institution
that is bound to enhance the inter-
ests of the comfy. of the farmers and
business men.
1t was eight years ago that Mr.. c.
D. Gilfllan andl Capt. Sanders, both
of St. Paul, purchased what was then
known as the Turrell tract, Mr. Gil
fillan taking the northeasterly half,
and afterwards purchasing about 500
acres more in order to comply with
his idea of modern stock farming The

mer of 1885, but from that time up to
the present the hammer Of the car

the accompanying cut of some of the
buildings on the Gillian farm is the
granary which holds 10000 bushels of
oats and wheat in the straw. It is a
Box 22a structure with II foot posts
and at the present time is, with the
exception of an alley way filled to the
top with grain in the straw. As win
ter advances Mr.. Gilfillan, with the
view of having the same employees
about him constantly, will put the
latter to threshing in this granary,
which also contains small separator
for the purpose. To the left of this is
the feed mill DIX 36, which, aside from
holding 5000 bushels of grain, con-
tains feed mill and Monitor Roller
Mill These two machines grind all
of the feed of the farm and the Roller
grinds the graham and cracked wheat
for domestic use. Here also, are a
large number of tools of every descrip-
ton.
Just back Of the mill is the corn crib
and power house. an L shaped build
ing with poultry house attached. The
corn crib holds 5000 bushels of corn
and additional cribs on the farm swell
the total capacity up to 5000 bushels.

300 head per year, dividing them into
two lots, $50 of which he commences
to feed with all the corn and oil meal
they can eat about Sept. 10, turning
them off on the market about Feb. /.
The second lot he commences to feed
as above in January and has them
fattened for the market about the first
of MAY. The corn tables are kept full
continually. Mr.. Gilfillan allows one
hog to follow each steer and thus fat
tens the latter animal without any ex-
ira expense.
Mr. Gilfillan declares that the
Polled Angus is the best steer to fat
ten with Her ,fords a second. He di-
vides his immense herd into yards
and pastures according to their ages,
allowing not over $50 head in each
herd. He has several sorting pastures
on the farm where the steers are
changed from one pasture into anoth-
er, according to their age and condi-
ton. At the present time he has all
of his yearlings in one lot, his two
year olds in two lots, his three year
olds in one lot. and his mich COWS,
stock cows. and heifers in one lot, and
after the calves are weaned thew are
allowed to run in barn or a pasture
by themselves. He has been keeping
about 50 calves every year, but will
reduce that number from this time
on.

Il had $50 acres under cultivation
last year said Mr.. Gillian. in the
course Of a pleasant afternoon S chat
last Saturday, 'but simply forthe pur-
pose of preparing 500 acres for tame
grass next year. You see, originally
my pastures were all wild grass, and
without ploving or breaking l sowed
upon them mixture Of timothy, blue
grass and clover. Most of this caught
and ! secured a good stand. Where
the seed did not | broke the land up
and seeded the same down with a
second crop. and it has since come up
very nicely. When I SOW the 500
acres next year will have over 3,COO
acres Of tame grass for pasturage, and
as fast as the cattle get one pasture
pretty we'll eaten down they will be
turned into another. Next year l will
only have $50 acres of corn, and oats
and wheat
Mr. Gilfillan stated the farm re-
ouired 25,OOO bushels of corn every
year. of which it raises only from
5000 to 5000 bushels. The balance
must be purchased, and he prefers
purchasing it from Redwood county
farmers and is willing to pay them
the regular bulk market price. About
1000 bushels of other grain is annu-
ally consumed. as we'll as about 4OC
tons of oil meal and 100 tons of hay
the latter, however, being Gu,
on the farm.
The object of this farm said Mr.
Gilfillan, ''is merely to be an immense
beef and pork factory, whereat the
farmers of Redwood county. who have
three, four, or FIVE head of steers car
bring them here. receive the highest
market price, and we fatten and ship
the same for market. Whenever they
have surplus of rye, corn and barley
to ship, we will buy of them. pay
ing more than the elevators for the
same. Last year we imported 15,Ot
bushels of corn from Iowa and thi:
year we will import from 1000 t
5000 bushels. Our freight bills t.
and from the Siding have amounted
to nearly $1,000 a year and this vii
constantly increase as the years g
by"
Mr.. Gilfillan stated that in the neal
future he expected to feed about 50,
600 bushels of corn and ship abou
500 head of fat cattle each year
Nearly bll of the cattle are sold in thu
Chicago markets and started off a

He Teaches Canadians What Reciprocity
Really Means.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Saturday
afternoon President Harrison issued the
expected proclamation on the canal
question.
1t will be remembered that the Do
minion of Canada imposes toll amount
ing to about twenty cents ton on all
freight passing through the Welland
canal in transit TO port of the United
States, but the Canadian government re-
funds eighteen cents per ton Of this toll
to Canadian vessels, making no rebate
whatever to United States vessels.
BY act of congress President Harrison
was empowered to suspend free passage
of the st. Mary's Falls canal (known as
the "Soo'1 so far as Canadian craft are
concerned until tie Dominion govern
mont ceased discrimination against
United States vessels. The prOclaua-
ton is quite lengthy and concludes thus;
Now, therefore, !, Benjamin Har1l-
son, president of the United States of
America. by virtue of the power to that
end conferred upon ME by said act of
congress, approved July 26, 1899, do
hereby direct that from and after Sept.
/, 1852, until further notice, toll of
twenty cents per ton be levied, collected
and paid on all freight of whatever kind
or description passing through st.
Mary's Falls canal i'll transit to a&y port
of the Dominion OF Canada, whether
carried in vessels of the United States or
of other nations; and in that extent do
hereby suspend from and after date the
right of free passage through said st.
Mary's Falls canal of any and all cargOes
or portions of cargOes III transit to Cana
