THE COUNTY FAIR

A communication in another
columnreminds us that the county fail
is near at hand. 1t promises to be the
best yet held. Four townships that
have never before exhibited have call
ed for space. The exhibits in every
line promise to be unusually full.
w. S. Hammond will give the ora
tion.
The last day, Sept. Goth, will be
Mankato day, and basket picnic
will be held. Committees have been
appointed.
There will be horse and bicycle
races.
The officers are making every effort
to make this fair surpass all others.
The farmers all over the county
should endeavor to make exhibits.
They have been blessed with excel
lent corps of every nature, and full
display would be great advertise
ment for the county. Nothing should
be sighted. Our own citizens should
take an interest in it and do theil
share towards making it success.

Experiments in Electr0culture.

In last weeks issue experiments in
applying electricity to agriculture and
horticulture by means of batteries and
electric lamps were detailed at length.
A French priest known as Brother Paul
in has also been conducting experiments
near Montbrison, France, in the follow
ing manner: He planted a TesinOus
wood pole twenty eight feet high in field
of potato plants. The pole supported a
galvanized iron rod on porcelain insu-
lators. The top of the rod terminated in
five upturne1 copper points, and the bot
tom was connected With asystem of wires
buried in the earth covering an area of
siXty'fve feet five inches radius. The
result of the experiment showed thet
the area Influenced by the wire pro
duced los pounds of potatoes, willie an
equal area produced 124 pounds of pota-
toes cultivated naturally. The theory OF
the pole was that the wire points col
lected electricity from the air during
storms, etc, and by means tf the cor =
ne ting wires distributed it in the
g'O1nd. BY thes anne means in Ardechc,
France, spinach and celery were grown
to Az unusually large size anil developed
in mn1h shorter period than by the
usual method of cultivation. -Manufact-

advantage. The following hints may be Of
service Asparagus is most desirable in
the market in one-tbird bushel baskets
and evenly cut. 1t should be about
seven and one-half inches long as to
stalks. The box may contain eighteen
to twenty punches. Cabbage should be
packed with sufficient leaves to protect
the head and in crates holding forty to
sixty heads. CauliflOwer can be packed
in boxes holding dozen a )iece wi b
heads up. Celery can be st mt in we'll
ventilated boxes holding twelve to fitteen
dozen lunches. Smooth, medium sized
cucumbers are preferable for shipping.
They should be packed in medium-sized
barrels. Do not pick tomatoes too ripe
nor too green. When coming from long
distances they ought to be packed when
they begin to color, and when nearer to
market they should be ripe. Pack
closely in onethird bushel boxes. New
beets should be four or five in bunch.
They should be clean, sound, even size.
They should be sent in one bushel Cl ates,
and later on III barrels, the latter to be
well ventilated. String beans should be
gathered as soon as the bean is about to
form in the pod, before it is hardly per-
ceptible. 1t is also advisable to see that
they go into packages cool and dry land
when expedient to spread them out for q
short time, do so. The first shipment of
green peas from long distances should be
in one. third bushel boxes. Asthe ship
ments increase then bushel boxes should
be used. 1t is necessary that the pack
ages are we'll ventilated. Only medium
sized young and tender onions are want
ed. The onion part should be clean and
white, with the first outer coating care,
fully removed. The tops should remain
on unless trimmed few inches from
the top. They should he carefully tied
in punches of foul or f,e onions in a
bunch. Boxes of one busht l-same
size as "A quart berry case-are the best
to USE. Exchange.

Railroad Commissioners.

Our Legislators have now twice de-
cided adversely to the existence of a
State board of railroa1 commissioners
and if theexperience We have had under
one board counts for anything their
action is not devoid of wisdom.
This matter-like very many others
has two sides TO it, and those who SEE
one side only are not quite as we'll quail
flied to hand in an intelligent verdict as
others may lie. There is no need to
gain-say but what there are many cases
of abuse or extortionate charges on the
part CT the railroads. Now as to the
proper course Of remedy-if there be
remedy within reach-there is much
onhlct of opinion and as yet hardly any
c-earIy defined ground upon which to
found a solid and equitable opinion
having general bearing.
Special cases might be said to call for
special treatment and then We come
across that vexatious snag-a resort to
the courts upon the merits OF each case
because of it's peculiar and distinctive
features. AS farmer, and for years
an earnest advocate for a railroa COM
mission, I now consider the matter
as one of doubtful service to the people,
viewed in its most practical outcome.
Filst-t cost to the people is pretty
large sum. Second-the possibility of
railroad influence dom mating over the
commission is very considerable.
rhird-the occasional or perhaps fire.
quent resort to the courts for final de-
cisions-.the expenses incurred by so do
ing, land the precedents already establish
ed are no small Arguments and tend
rather against than for the creation of
railroad commissioner.
.Fourth-the nicely of the question
10 private or corporate rights to fix their
own charges, and the public or State to
do that which will interpose the arm {
law to prevent their so doing largely has
not yet been generally determined, and
tits thought by many good citizens that
the less interference Of the State the
better for all concerned; for when once
the S ate un iertakes t. adjust such
matters there can be no known stop
ing pl ice as to its Interference Herewith.
AS to the rene iy, if such there is, this
point of inquiry is not readily determin-
able as yet.
r llro DIS are yet compa' atively new
feature in the way Of transportation and
exclusive rights and privileges and
therefore we can only reason thereon in
a problematic manner. Free competi-
ton ought to be regarded as the best
remedy, unless through certain conces-
sions by granting OF exclusive rights and
privileges free competition is inadmis-
stable, in all such css's the State has
simply sold its birthright for a mess of
pOttage, and the mex best step is diff
cult to see at pres emit. The call for a
abroad commissi n is not to be de-
nounced nor in any way c ndemued ;but
i must also be setforth that such line
of State action is of doubtful utility and
questionable wisdom
While some few may think this leads
us right up to the State or National
government ownership Of The railroads it
is not so designed in this article nor is
it the logical Inference. am sill more

enjoy the hospitality of DIR. and Mrs.

publlc know, u matter of con njecture,
but friendship Of NJ, de Freycinet is be-
lieved to have been put to Industrious
use by Herr in his peculiar operations.
1t is stated that there is no evidence
of actual corruption on the part of
de freycinct, and that nothing more
can be shown against him than COM
plaisance toward others who were cor

have been terribly shocked by the state
ments from America regarding the an
tecedents of Herr, whom he professed
to consider a person of high probity
and excellent character
De Freycinets friends cite on this
subject the fact that, previous to the
recent exposure, the record of Herr at
the Chancellcrie of rhe legion Of honor
was not only creditable, but brilliant,
and that de Freycinet had no better op.
portunities than the chancelerie for
knowing the real history of the adj

EXPELLED FROM FRANCE.
'''"''s's halse a Row Over the Treat
ment of Nihilisss


ment of Nihilisis.
PARIS, Jan. lL-lmmediately after
the opening of the chamber Monday.
W. Lazy, socialist deputy for the Seine,
lhterpellated the government as to the
expulsion of four nihlists from France
on January Is, at the instance of Baron
Mohrenheim, Russian ambassadors
what had these four men done. he
asked, that tine right of living in free
country should be denied them? He
ana ms colleagues were anxious to learn
whether they lived under popular rov-
ernment, or under government which,
while ostensibly free. had allied itself
with the institutions of medieval des-
potism.
NJ Ribot replied at length to the in
terpellation. Since the discovery of a
mhilist bomb factory in Paris, he said,
the police had watched with unremit.
ting vigilance all dangerous persons.
France would never permit foreigners
to intrigue on her soil against other
powers. The government would not
hesitate to eNpel persons who came to
the country for the purpose of plotting
there the overthrow of other govern
ments tcries of "Oho. Ohio" from the
socialistic deputies
Antoine Jourde, socialist deputy for
the Giroade, moved, amid much con.
fusion, that the discussion of the ex.
pulsion be allowed to proceed, as vital
interests were at stake. If the govern
ment had the right to eXpcl al who
disagreed with its opinions in domestic
or foreign politics, he said, it might as
we'll proclaim despotism at once.
An uproar followed this statement,
the socialists cheering and the rest of
the Misunderstanding their disapproval.
On the vote, Deputy Jourde's motion
was lost by 352 to a.
