their stationary, ETC., printed, should
bear in mind that it is not patronizing
home industries, the very thing that
they are SO strongly advocating.

James Bennett, prominent real
estate broker of Brooklyn, New York,
owner of considerable of land in this
section of the State, reads The Ga
zErTE, and says that he wanted it dur
ing the past year for the local and
crop news for the summer of 1894.
"You haye furnished that in good
shape" concludes Mr.. Bennett.
1t has been discovered that the base
of the Birch Coulie monument, which
is in two sections, was placed wrong,
so that there is a bad break in the in
scription. The matter has been called
to the attention of the commission and
the money claimed under the contract
is tied up in consequence. 1t is quite
likely that the matter will also come
before the next legislature. When
the monument is taken down for re-
placement, which must of necessity
be done, it may be removed to point
remote from where it now stands.
The general summary of the wealth
er7crop bulletin for the week ending
Sept. rs, says that the rainfall for the
week averaged for the entire State less
than the seasonable quantity. Heavy
showers occurred in the southern Sec
ton and in portions of the Red River
valley. The forest area between Min
neapolis and Duluth, extending west
to the Mississippi river, experienced
light showers Friday, which were
heavy enough to put out many of the
fires in that section. The central por-
ton of the State, west of the Missis-
sippi has had from very little rain to
none at all in the extreme west prairie
portion, where the drouth, with dried
up pastures is as bad as ever. Forest
fires continue in Stearns and Todd
counties, which have in many cases
spread to meadows and much hay has
been in this way burned up. The loss
Of SO much hay will be very severely
felt, as the crop was light at the best
and the poor pasturage has made the
demand greater than it otherwise
would have been. It will be difficult
for the numbering industry to readily
obtain feed for their animals during
the coming winter. Considerable in
jury has been done to late vegetables
by frosts, but the staple crops, except,
late fax and buckwheat, ME. ..,,:red be-
fore any harm from tbs cause could
occur and the FAX and buckwheat
have been hardy enough to so far es-
cape with but slight damage. The
soil where the rainfall was greatest, is
now in good condition for blowing
and the seeding of winter grain and
this work is being advanced as fast as
possible. Threshing has been delayed
somewhat by high winds, but very lit
tie now remains to be completed and
another week or two will see II fin
ished. Many farmers are now busy
husking corn and digging potatoes.
The yields in both cases are light,
but they are better than were antici-
pated and it is wonderful consider
ing the severity of the late drought,
that such fairly good yields have been
obtained. Pasturage has been revived
in most places and stock are able to
get sufficient feed without being
