THE GOOD 1T WILL Do.

In commenting upon the represen-
tatives of English, Scottish and Irish
agriculturists who have recently Wis
tied the northwest, and the report
they will make to their friends at
home of what they saw in Minnesota,
the Minneapolis Penny Press says:
The good which must come from
such personal inspection and personal
reports is incalculable. 1t is far greater
than can be accomplished by tons of
literature or score of professional
lecturers. These men have the con-
fidence Of the people among whom
they live, and their report will be
taken as a true index of the farming
opportunities there is open for thou
sands of settlers in Minnesota.
The growth of Minnesota has been
rapid, but there is still much land to
be laid under cultivation. Thousands
OF homes await the weary pilgrims
from foreign shores, and backed by
hardy hands and stout hearts the i'm
migrants within our territories will
find almost boundless opportunities
awaiting them.
1t is true that, in many districts,
the farmers have had hard shedding
OF late years. Destroyed crops and
low prices have reduced many to a
position OF almost absolute starvation,
but in far too many instances investi-
CATION has demonstrated that the
farmers are largely to blame. In the
first instance they have committed
the suicidal policy of placing all their
eggs in one baSket-they have relied
solely on the wheat crop. 1t has been
shown, again and again, that the
farmer to be on the safe side and to
make a comfortable living, must devote
his energies to diversified farming.
The British delegates will have found
in their trip to the southeastern part
of the state, where diversified farm
ing has reached it's highest state, that
the farmers and their families are
even in these hard times-in very
comfortable and easy financial condi-
ton. 1t is a fact which has been
specially noteworthy, that the recent
months when many thousands have
walked idle in the streets of the large
cities, that many districts of the
southern one-half of Minnesota have
not known there was such a bugabOO
as hard times, beyond reading about
the general condition of the country
in the city dalies.

NOTWITHSTANDING the extreme hot
and dry weather which we have had
for several weeks back, crops have
come forward much better than was
expected. When the hot spell started
in it was feared that if it continued
any length of time, it would prove
fatal to all crop prospects, but while
some fields are reported badly dam
aged and a few are totally ruined, yet
on the whole many of the farmers
claim that wheat will average very
fair crop. The worst results from the
drOuth just at present, seems to be in
the matter of pasturage. Pastures
have dried up so that in many, if not
the great majority of cases, stock has
to be fed. If the weather of the past
thirty-siX hours extends to any great
length, it will undoubtedly seriously
effect the corn crop, which has not
suffered as yet to the extent of the
other crops. The fact that
southern Minnesota has never yet had
total crop failure, and that it has in
the worst seasons raised very fair
corn crop, gives the farmers much
hope in this direction.

heat more than others.
But physicians positively declare
that where the strength is carefully
kept up, and every possibility of con-
tagion removed by using "a splendid
nutriment" as doctors call lactated
food, the mere presence of high tenn
perature can do no harm. For, at the
bottom, cholera infantum is the re-
suit of a condition of things that fol-
lows improper feeding.
During hot weather the slightest
signs of indigestion or diarrhea should
receive immediate attention, and be
met with a close scrutiny of the diet.
Babies and young children who do
not eat with relish, who are weak and
debilitated, ''pick up" marvelously
when they are put on diet Of lactat-
ed food even for few weeks. Lactat-
ed food is taken with relish when all
other nutriment is refused.
Every element of pure mothers
milk is met IN lactated food
Keep baby upon lactated and it will
escape cholera infantum and danger
Gus summer illness
No household with little children
in it should feel safe during these hot
days and nights unless they know
lactated food is at hand for emergen-
cies.
1t is the FOOD upon which hundreds
of happy mothershave nOurished their
little ones. Says Mrs. III. Il. Chapman
of Newton Centre, Mass, whose baby
is shown above, in letter to the
makers of the food.
Il wish to tell you about our baby.
We tried food at first that baby did
not seem to like, as he always left
half in his bottle. Finally he was
taken very sick and the doctor ad-
vised us to use lactated food, which
we did at once, and from that time
until this he has cried for it every two
hours, and although we always give
him one and one. half cupfulls, he has
never left any in his bottle. He is
now one year old, and has grown to
to be such fat, healthy boy"
Every mother should try lactated
food. Any druggist will sell for 25
cents a package large enough to
make 10 pints Of nourishing food,
and in large packages it is even less
expensive.

THE New York Herald is afraid thu

THE New York Herald is afraid that
the different elements in New York
city, opposed to Tammany, will unite
and elect Republican as mayor, and
says it will be simply change from a
Tammany boss to Republican boss.
From the reports of the LeXow in
vestigating committee, it would seem
that the change would be most oe-
sirable one, but of course the Herald
would be dissatisfied, as it would not
be in it. However, the taxpayers
would not grumble over a change that
would put a stop to Tammany
methods.

Winnebago City Press News:

WLnnebagO Clty PreSS NeWS:
Abraham Ljhcoln's first speech on
the tariff question was short and to
the point. He said that he did not
pretend to be learned in political
economy, but he thought that he knew
that +" when an American paid twenty
dollars for steel to an English manu-
facturer, America had the steel and
England had the twenty dollars.
But when he paid twenty dollars for
steel to an American manufacturer,
America had both the steel and the
twenty dollars" That was the sum
and substance Of the tariff question
as he viewed it.

Wabasha County Herald:
An exchange condemns President
Cleveland for calling out troops, to
put down the right of assemblage
and free speech" We thought the
things to be put down were free fires,
free pillage, free stone throwing and
free license to beat men away from
work and tie up the commerce OF a

many of us have been.
