INTERESTS NOT
DECLINING.

Washington, Nov. 49, Secre.
tary Morton, in his annual report,
which will shortly be made public,
will review the economical features
|of the administration and cite
figures to show that he has covered
back into the treasury $4,000, OOC
Of the appropriation for the ag.
ricultural department during the
four years, or 100000 each year.
This is in the neighborhood Of 20
per cent OF the appropriations fol-
the year. One of the principal
features will be lengthy refuta.
sion Of the claims Of what he calls
calamity howlers." He will
contend that agricultural interests
are not declining; that 70 per cent
IN the farms in the country are
without any circumference, whiie
the encumbrance on the remaining
,2S per cent was incurred in the
purchase and improvement Of the
lands. The report will state that
the greatest ratio of mortgages is
found in the North Atlantic states,
and that New Jersey shows
especially heavy encumbrances.
The secretary will decry the lavish
publications Of the government
and show a pruning down of the
literary output Of the department.

There wers two fires Id this cry
within u few hours, one starting at
about 10 o'clock Saturday night and
the other occurring ut about s
o'clock Sunday. morning.
The first was on Fifth street
northeast. The residence Of Lafayette
Perry was discovered on fire by
some Of the neighbOrs at about 10
O'Clock, and owing to the great
Roadway the fire had gained before
it was discovered and the building
being sitna ted out OF reach Of the
city water system, the building and
all the contents were entirely con
sumed.
The fire originated in the Interior
Of the building. but the cause Ia not
known, as the building was locked
at the time, all the family being
absent. 1t is likely the fire had
been burning for some time, for
those who were first ON the scene
directed their efforts towards saving
the contents, but were driven from
the doors and windows by the
flames that poured through them as
500" as they were opened, ana they
could accomplish nothing.
The building was small frame

$500. On the building there was an
insurance of $3.50. There was also
$3.50 insurance on the household
goods. and the greatest loss il on
them for they We're valued at over
$500. .S@ ~ ..,....
The second fire was without doubt
the work Of an incendiary. The
fire was started under the kitchen

bagnios on First avenue southeast.
The fire being on the outside of the
building was soon discOyered, and

exceed $50, and was partly caused

COUNTY WHEAT CROP.
Estimates by Local Dealers Az
Compared with Yield and
Prices Of 1895.

The Interstate Milling company III
this city, the leading wheat buyers
Of Morrison county. have completed
an estimate III the wheat crop 81
Morrison county for the year 1885.
and comparing the yield and prices
with the big crop oi 1895. the farm
ers OF Morrison county will be mucn
better shape than promised In the
outlook about harvesting time. .3
The entire crop Of wheat in MOrrI-
son county in 1895, was by u careful
estimate, placed at 100000. OF
this amount about 450,0OO bushels
were marketed at Little Falls, about
25O, 900 at ROyalton and the relnain-
der was shipped from small stations
like Belle Prairie. Ft. Ripley and
Swanville, and some manufactured
into -four by the several small mills
Of the county.
The price last year ranged from ~
TO AZ cents per bushel. hut on an
average the price was about A
cents.
The estimate for 1896, base ~on
reports from farmers from all sec
lions OF the county, places the
amount of wheat for market this
year at 45O, 900, or d per cent. OF last
years crop In this estimate the
eastern part of the county iscredlted
with the largest yield. anil the
grea test difference between the crop
OF 1895 and 1896 occurs in the western
part Of the county.
In some OF the towns west Of the
Mississippi, the yield in 1895 was
from 80 to 40 bushels per acre, and
this year the yield was from 10 90 Is,
or ebout one third Of the crop oi
1895. ....
In the eastern part of the county
in 1896 the yield was something over
20 bushels per acre, and this year It
was from IL to 16, or between two
thirds and three-foirths the yield Oi
1895. y.
The northwest part of the county
is estimated to have yielded about
two-thirds the amount this year 81
that of last year, and the north
eastern part, including the towns
of Fl. Ripley and Belle Prairie, MOI
much, If any over une-third.
or the estinlat ted yield OF this year
about one-ha has been marketed,
or something over 100000 bushels.
vi this amount about loo, 900 bushels
has been marketed here, $4,000
bushels ut Royalton and the remalH:
der shiLped from the small stations
and used by the country mills.
The bulk OF the wheat marketed
this year has brought between 60
and 20 cents per busheI, or about
one-third more than the prices OF
last year.
With the increase in the price OF
wheat, and the other farm products
that to some extent fluctuate with
wheat, and the good prospects Of a
future advance for the half crop now
| in the farmers hands. it will be seen
that, although they were short in
their yield this year, the amount 81
money they will receive will com
pare favorably with last season
when there was almost an un
precedented yield. a ~

DAIRY.

Let there be exact system in all move
ments about the dairy Do not delay
straining the milk until the cream has
begun to rise. If once broken up by
straining it rises again more slowly.
Sweet cream butter is quite popular
in certain quarters, and commands fancy
prices, out, as rule. butter from ripen-
ed cream finds most favor among those
who are after the gilt edge article.
The best way to drive oleomargeripe
out of the merket would be for every one
to make better butter. Dairymen who
make first class article do not much
fear substitutes. Nothing strange about
this.
Do not fill the swing churn more than
half full, Give the cream plenty of room
to swing backward and forward. that by
conclusion the envelope which contains
the butter fat may be broken.
A COW to each acre should be the aim
of the dairyman. Let it be the best
COW which can be had, that there may
be the largest profit from the enc COW
and the one acre.
Ia running creamery, the larger the
amount of milk worked the smaller the
proportionate amount of cost. In start
ing not less than 500 COWS should be
pledged, and 1000 will do better.
The farmer who makes the dairy his
main business, rather than an adjunct.
is the one who will turn out the best
product, and procure, also. the most
profit and satisfaction from it.
He who has an especially good butter
herd can not afford to furnish milk to
the cheese factory nor ship his product
to the city to be sold with low grade
milk. Know what you want before you
build your herd.

Again there was silence for a few
moments; and then, in a voice which
betrayed the intensity of her feeling,
Sarah said: "Girls, these are Lucy's
Thanksgiving gifts, and we must
help her carry them to the church,
and then we, too, must ransack our
attics, and our rag bags, and our
personal belongings and see how
much we can construct from nothing.
And we must be industrious, for
Christmas will soon be here, and bit
ter winter weather follows Christmas,
you know"
"But we ALWAYS have our own
Christmas work to do" said one or
two hesitatingly.
"If we cannot do both, we must do
this. This is the really kind thing,
and do it we must. We all have rag
bags, we all have cast-off and partly
worn clothing, we all have plenty of
time that we waste in one way and
another, we all have good eyes and
good fingers, and our Christmas work
can be put aside for this year if we
can't get the time for it,"
Only moments pause followed,
and then, though visions of the
tempting fancy work fitted through
each ones brain, Sarah's earnest APP
peal had its effect upon her COM
panions. With happy homes, with
happy futures stretching before
them, it was impossible not to see
the contrast, impossible not to see
that much could be made from their
nothing, and that they were the ones
to do it.
And so Sarah's proposition was re-
ceived With favor. During the weeks
that followed, not only the leisure
hours of the stormy days were de-
voted to the doing of kind things,
but many an hour was taken that
had been given to amusement; and
to such earnest faithful work did the
girls consecrate themselves, that, on
Christmas eve, each one could say to
herself: 81 have done the kind
thing; have tried to love my neigh
