mostly that property adjoining the

The taxes ON the land under the

wer.. not paid. The next year. 1893.
the assessment and taxation was
about the same. The taxes for the
two years are now back. and the
property owner will attempt to
prove in court that the asses sment
should be reduced. With the taxes
and penalties for the two years the
amount due IL now nearly 5000.
Very little Of this property has been

les, as Well as Varied
Crops Bring Good
Returns.

State Auditor Dunn says that the
series III state land sales was the
hest rlrld iii southern Minnesota.
and II many counties the last tracts
of state land were cleared up at
good prices. The farmers there are
nearly all In good shape financially.
One cause he believes tends to make
them so is that 1t in an old settled
country. and the thriftlpss and I'M
successful settlers have been crowd
ell out by q better class, aud u large
part Of the present farmers have
taken the plac" OF men who made
failures of the business before And
one reason the present ones aremOre
sucl essful. Mr.. Dunn believes. is that
they practice diversified farming in
reality. They not only raise many
crops besides wheat. bat they en-
gage in other lines uf farming than
growing grain and vegetables.
trenme are numerous, and farm
trs all have cows, and a steady in
come Is 0htHined from the milk sold.
Some stock il grown every year for
the market, and a fair sized herd is
to be found ON almost every farm.
Hog raising is another important
Industry, and TO make this pay the
corn crop is, Of course. large. They
raise some wheat, hut only Il small
percentage of their income comes,
from that. =. .,-.- . -
He has visited, during the present
land sales, many OF the southern
counties. and his business brought
him in direct ccL tact with the farm
ers. AS rule they were getting
along well. One thing to their ad-
vantage was that they had in years
past got out Of debt, owned their
land now free from incumbrance,
and the low price of grain did not ef-
feet them 10 seriously as it does
those who must make payments ON
land Or other debts. While the
climate may be.a trifle less severe in
southern Minnesota for stock, the
northern part possesses one decided
advantage for stOck-raisers in the
abundant good wild hay meadows.
Each section has some superior nat
ural features. hut with the large
timber supply and the excellent
meadows On the side Of the northern
section, Mr.. Dunn sees mo- reason
why the same good judgment in
farming would not bring fully as
good results in this part of the state
as it has accomplished elsewhere in
Minnesota. He cites the capture by
Mile Laos county of the first county
premium ut the state fair as a proof
that crops attain their greatest ex-
cellence in this part of the state.
