The Riceville Recorder admits that
there was too much in the letter of A.
r. McCook for it to reply to success
fully by saying there was more in any
one of its questions than in the entire
speech OF E. j. Dean. The Plain
Dealer accepts it's statement as truth
aud will not sneer at the ignorance of
the Recorder man.
Peckinovsky Brothers of Protovln
are operating and own one of the
most complete threshing outfits in the
country and are giving the best of
satisfaction with its work. 1t is a
complete Minnesota Chief outfit, six
teen horsepower with swing stacker.
They will compete with any machine
in the field for quality and quantity
OF work. Michael Kovarik says he
has used many kinds OF threshing
machines and gives it as his honest
convection that the Minnesota Chief
has no superior in the field and
doubts it having an equal.
1 The large barn on the John Mullen
farm in New Oregon was burned to
the ground Friday night last. At the
time it contained $50 large loads of
hay worth about $400. The barn cost
some $1,000, on which was $500 in
surance with $3.50 insurance on the
hay. The farm was conducted by
Geo. Morris on shares. The chores
at the barn had all been done at the
, usual hour and the COWS after milking
| had been turned out. At about the
hour for bedtime Mrs. Morris looked
out and the flames were issuing forth
from the roof. Morris went to the
barn turned the horses out and go
everything from the lower part of the
barn that was movable out, the neigh
| bors from mile away getting there
!, before there was any fire in any par
of the barn except at the top. From
this it would seem that the fire origi
mated in the hay at the top of tn
a NOV whether by spontaneous com
bustion or from some other unknowl
cause is not known.
. 1t is remarkable how the fros
y holds off, now the 18th of Septembe
y and the tenderest varieties of vege
tables as fresh and green as in July
Corn the great staple for hogs an
q cattle is thoroughly ripened and ther
Il will be prodigious yield and ye
J. there is no oyerproduction. The SUI
d plus product OF the farm, the dairy
the workshop is what measures th
4 wages of the farmer, the dairy ma
a or the manufacturer. If the pcopl
a are unable to use, consume and pa
q for the product OF either from an
cause the price is low and the wage
or profit of the producer is small. Th
/ way to stimulate and make profitabl
!, the industries of the conntry, is
q make better prices for its products
y Before the suspension OF silver coli
age it always took dollar to buy
h bushels of oats, now 50-cent pie.
l. BUYS 5 bushels of oats. This is nj
II for the benefit of the farmer nor {
the printer, the mechanic the me
chant, because at such prices tt
farmer is unable to profitably patrol
Is ize either. Such prices only bcnel
at the monied class.
