OUTLOOK NEVER BETTER.

w. r. B. Smyth states that the out
look for small grain that is now above
ground was never better. AS regards
flax, if the rain is general he considers
it safe. Grass does not promise to be
a good crop, owing to the dryness of
the sod, which makes it quite hard,
from lack of snow during the winter.
Mr.. Smyth has returned from trip
through the counties east of the city,
and reports the tame grass as largely
winter-killed.
The outlook for wheat is now ex-
cellent. the cool weather having al
lowed the roots to sink well into the
ground. The grain can now stand a
little forcing, and there is moisture
enough to last for several weeks.

SOUTHERN MINNIE sofa.
Man Says Good Words
for it,

Supt. Dawson Moreland, of the
Brads treet agency, at ST. Paul, has
completed an interesting compilation
of reports made to that company by
it's representatives in North Dakota
and Minnesota. 1t is very accurate
and conservative. In the course of
an interview with the Pioneer Press,
he said:
"When we come to the counties of
Southern Minnesota, to the counties
where diversified farming has been
tried for some years, the improvement
is very manifest. 1t would be diff
cult-and might perhaps seem odious
to compare the condition of the
farmer here with that of his brother
in the northwestern counties, where
exclusive wheat growing has been so
persiStently adhered to. The cOndi-
tions are hardly to be compared; if So,
that of the farmer in the south is
opulence itself. Those most CONVEX
SAINT with the facts confidently assert
that, in some of the counties, eXclu-
sive of the public funds, the farmers
hold 65 per cent. of the bank deposits
some even venturing to say IS per
cent. In this part of the state hog
and cattle raising is becoming COM
mon and dairy farming grows in
favor. One creamery in Albert Lea
is reported to have paid S2,469. 30 to
the farmers during the month of
January, 1895.
Throughout Southern Minnesota
the farmers have finished seeding,
with the exception of flax and barley,
and prospects are considered most
favorable. The amount of wheat
sown will be much less than was SOWn
in 1894: that in 1894 was less than in
1898. The farmers find the growing Of
oats, fax and barley more profitable.
Corn has done well of late years. Seed
was never put into soil in better con-
dition to receive it. The recent rains
have been most beneficial. Barring
the unforeseen, there should be as good
a harvest as was ever known in this
part of the country"

A WISE CHANGE.
New Course of Study and Shorter
Sessions at the Normal.

Sessions at the normal.
Director Clark and President Scar
ing returned from st. Paul Saturday
night, where they attended the meet
ing of the State Normal board. The
board adopted the new course of
study, which has long been in pre-
paration, and which adds another
year to the course.
One important change, which will
take effect next fall, will be the clos
ing of the session twenty minutes
earlier than now. The close will oc-
cur at 12:40 p. M, which will allow
students and teachers to be at dinner
by one o'clock at the latest. This
will be change very acceptable to
all, and especially to those who take
Normal boarders. 1t will also lessen
the strain on those attending the
school.
1t was decided the fall term shall
begin Sept. Sd, and that the next
school year shall be divided into three
quarters of twelve weeks each, allow
ing a. two weeks vacation at the
Christmas holidays.
A one-story addition is to be built
on the rear of the building with a
portion of the appropriation granted
by the legislature.

THE OTHER SIDE.
Mrs. McGrath Tells About Miss
SimOnSOn.

Last week we published an article
taken from the Mankato FREE PRESS,
says the St. Peter Journal, which stat
ed that Mrs. E. Simons, of ST. Peter,
had unfolded tale of woe to the po-
lice officers regarding her young
daughter. 1t seems that only one
side of the case was heard, however,
as Mrs. Ed. McGrath, of Lake Emily,
the lady who is keeping the girl, call
ed on us Saturday and explained the
situation of existing affairs. The
woman who has become so interested
in her daughters welfare, is named
Mrs. E. Simonson. For some time
the girl has refused to stay at home
for reasons the little lady modestly
stated to her benefactress, Mrs. Nc
Grath. With only the purest and
kindest motives, Mrs. McGrath shell
tered the girl, gave her employment
and eXerted herself in the moral
training of Alma Simonson. The girl
fully appreciated all this and was
more than satisfied with her new sur
roundingS. But the mother grew
fearful of the daughters welfare and
demanded her return. The child re-
fused and the McGraths, who consti-
tute one of the best families in LIE
Sueur county, would not force her
back. The mother became indignant
and resorted to extremes, but the
girl stood firm as a rock. Mrs. Simon
son went to Mankato in the hopes of
finding the girl, while in reality the
latter was at her Lake Emily home.
Mrs. McGrath says that Alma Simon
son is pretty girl of 13 years and a
girl who is inclined to be good, vlr-
tuous and ladylike. She also says
that the girl is afraid to return home
and that under no condition will she
allow the child to be forced back.

TWO CREAr1ERiES.
Creamery Men Give Some of Their
Experience.

Experience.
From one of the Judson creamery
men we learn that the daily receipts
of milk are 5000 pounds. The separ-
ator takes out about half pail full of
dirt from this quantity, and it has the
appearance of OLD putty. including
everything that is foul that can get
into milk.
Gilbert GuttersOn, Of the Lake
Shore creamery, states that the daily
receipts OF milk there are 5000
pounds, but he says that no such
quantity of dirt is found in the milk
there.
An experienced creamery man
states the amount of dirt found in the
milk by the use of the separator
varies with the care taken in milking
the COWS. The elements composing
the refuse show this, being largely
hair, manure, blood, etc. When the
milking of large number of COWS is
left to hired men, often there is not
that care taken in cleaning the COWS
before milking that ought to be done.
From the surprising amount of dirt
taken from the milk, it seems as
though the butter ought to be about
as clean as it is possible to make it,.
Still, care ought to be taken, and peo-
pie who bring dirty milk to the
creameries ought to be turned away.

A New System of inspection Goes
Into Operation.

n
Into Operation.
Mayor Weaver has started a new
system of sidewalk inspection. Here
tofore Z. w. Halstead has done this
work, besides overseeing the other
street work, and this has been found
to be too much for him. Mayor Wea-
yer has divided the city into three
districts and given one to each of
three men. Joe Meyers has been
given the First and Second wards,
Gus Niebel the Third and Fourth,
Alex. Knapp the Fifth and Sixth
and Cummings addition. The first
two parties named have been in the
employ of the city for long time,
and are well posted on their duties.
The three inspectors will keep the
walks in good condition, and report to
the board of public works when new
walks are needed. They will receive
80 a day, and will work steadily.
Mr.. Halstead will be entirely re-
lieved of work connected with the
sidewalks, and will be assigned to
work in the water department of the
city.
The change will take place May
1st, and is expected to result in more
efficiency by division of the work.
