this. section of the country which 1wish

your kind permission. :. - -, j
Land here is worth from SIS to $500.
Plenty of government land in the
mountains and near the valley, but it
is worthless, or nearly SO. I know Of
no good land that could be bought
for less than about 800 per acre. A
good improved farm cannot be bought
here for less than $50 per acre, know
of no farm for rent. There has been
considerable inquiring for lands to
rent by new corners. A newcomer
should not buy land here until
he has been here at least a year,
unless he can trust some one to judge
for him, as much worthless land looks
good to one just from the East.
Horses are worth from nothing up to
500. A. good farm team can be
bought for from 500 to $500. Cows
are worth from So to $50, nice beef
cattle sold a few weeks ago for about
one cent per lb. Farming implements
are high, wagons, 8 inch, $85: and all
hardware in proportion, nails, 15c
per pound; lumber, rough, $6 to So,
dressed, SD. One thousand dollars
would indeed be very little for one to
begin with here, even with small
family. Many buy only ten acres,
others 20, some buy 40, some so &c.

The report that L. r. Hunt is Z
candidate for State Auditor Is well
founded. Bro. Hunt never sleeps he
Is up early, and stays late.

The Blue Earth City Post says
SECRETARY Of State +. P Brown war
in the city few days last week, and
in answer to the direct question, put
to him by the editor Of the Post, "Mr'
Brown, do you intend to be candi-
date before the coming Republican
state convention for renomination''
he answered in his ever-frank and
straightforward manner, "Yes."
The ADVANCE would like to see E.
c. Huntington, the talented and loyal
editor Of the Window Reporter re.
ceive the nomination for secretary Of
state. If there is a man in the state
better qualified for the position let
his name be mentioned-we don't who
he is.
The Slayton Gazette voices the
sentiment of the ADVANCE when it
SAYS: Joel Heatwole is reported as
saying that he is not out of politics.
We are glad to hear as his able pen
will be needed in the coming campaign.
Joel made a valiant fight in an over
whelmingly Democratic district in the
last campaign and for his able services
ought to receive some substantial re-
copnition at the hands of the party
THO year. a..
Bob. Dunn, the fiery-headed editor
of the Princeton Union, is trying to
fall into the office of State Auditor
because he tooka hand in smoking out
the present auditor. Bierman would
have smoked himself out in time.
We have information that the
friends of H. j. Miller are going to
make an effort to give him the nomina-
ton for senator from this district. If
Mr.. Miller is given the nomination
there will be no question as to his
election. He is much stronger than
he was four years ago, besides this
is going to be a mighty poor year for
democrats. Miller would make slen-
did record in the state house.
Congressman McCleary will be re-
by reclamation, and cleo
ted unanimously. That's what the
people think of Mr.. McCleary.
Ex-Gov. Merriam is credited with a
desire to see Gov. Nelson succeed
Senator Washburn.

Babcock butter Fat r..,

The Babcock butter fat test does no,
show the number of pounds of butter
in the milk. The test is designed To
show the butter fat only, and as butter
contains from Is to 20 per cent. of other
matter sach as water. curd and salt.
1t is OF course likely that the yield OF
butter will be considerably more than
the test shows. This excess NAV be-
from 10 to as much as % per cent. moro
than the test in accordance with tho
method used and the manner in which
the butter is worked. OF course the
more water and salt that is In
corporased with the butter the greater
excess can be obtained. When q
separation is used and the cream is
handled in an intelligent way the loss
OF fat should be very slight On the
average I think the yield of butter ex.
ceeds the test by about Is per cent II
could not exceed it as much as Is Der
