The above list does not include residents
OF the county dying at sea or away from

The year was not as remarkable as the
preceding one in the matter OF deaths Of
aged people. OF the total number OF 500
deaths, 120 had outlived their allotted
"three score years and ten"-a percentage
large enough to maintain Hancock
county's reputation for the longevity Of
its people. OF these sixty-one were
between the ages of seventy and eighty,
ffty-three were between eighty and
ninety, five were over ninety, and one
had passed the century mark. The
record Of deaths in 1896 included seven
over ninety years OF age, the oldest
being in the ninety fifth year The old
age record is held by 1895, with thirteen
over ninety years OF age, and one centen-
arian.
Following is a list Of nonagenarans
who died during the year just ended,
given in the order of their ages:

barely possible that We will be sup

manufacturers before long. The same
town reports having 700 head Of sheep,
the largest number of any town in the
county. The total number of sheep
in the county last year was 2,O78, and
the shearing resulted in 1871 pounds
of wool. Oharlestown made 1872 pounds
of cheese last year, Jacksonville go
pounds and Willow Lake 100 pounds,
total of 292 pounds for the county.
Homer, in which Fleischer's factory
is located, made no report, and it is
probable that the factory was deadened
by the creamery at this place.
An incorrect report is as to the num-
Der of bee hives in the county. Delhi
reports one hive, Homer seven, North
Hero three and Willow Lake three.
Homer reports 2OO pounds of honey
from its hives, North Hero Is pounds
and Willow Lake l2O pounds, making

The remozse of guilty stomach is what
. very large majority Of the people of this
nation are suffering with to-day. It is a
we'll known fact that dyspepsia is a charac-
teristic American disease and it is frequently
stated that " we are nation Of dyspeptics."
It is distressing ailment and because of
times it is the result of improper modes
and exhaustion; then again it may be sort Of
ment should be directed to the restoration of
the health, without special attention to the
stomach. In other instances, the disease is
evidently the result of Inflammation of the
stomach.
Anyone Of these conditions produce lack
Of vitality in the system, by causing the
blood to lose its DEMONSTRATING elements. The
blood is the vital element in our lives and
should be carefully nurtured. Restore the
blood to its proper condition, dyspepsia will
vanish and perfect health follow.

North Dakota, q few miles from Walhalla,
resides Mr.. Ernest Snider man of sterling
integrity, whose veracity cannot be doubted.
He was formerly a resident Of Lansdowne,

WHAT WE RAISED.
And our Average this YearAccord-
ing to Assessors.

ing to Assessors.
According to the agricultural state
ment, just compiled by the auditors
office, for the years 1897 aud 1883,
Redwood county had 10000 acres of
wheat last year. This acreage yielded
zoos, 4O6 bushels, making the average
yield of the county about ten bushels
per acre. Of oats the county had
28,76l acres, and this acreage yielded
665,O68 bushels. Our acreage of corn
was 27,2O9, yielding 553,554 bushels,
of barley 1914 acres yielding 1S9,O9l
bushels, of rye l56 acres Welding
1856 bushels, of buckwheat one acre
yielding ten bushels, of potatoes 1,O76
acres yielding 49,712 bushels, of beans
80 acres yielding 489 bushels, of sugar
cane two acres yielding I2O gallons of
sorghum. There we're 2,1OO acres of
cultivated hay in the county during
that year and this yielded 1869 tons
of hay. The fax seed raised was
1928 bushels off 7,649 acres, not
squite ten bushels per acre. There
were COL acres of miscellaneous pro-
ducts. The total acreage of the coun-
ty last year was 1920, with West
line the largest at II ,165 acres, Spring
dale second, Charlestown third, Brook
vile fourth, Willow Lake fifth and
Gales sixth, all of these latter town
ships having had over 10000 acres I'M
der cultivation. The other townships
lin the county had less.
There we're lob acres of wild hay
cut in the county last year, Brook
vile cutting the largest number of
tons, 5,6l5. Vail has an estimated
cut of 1000 tons, Charlestown cut
3,347 tons, and the other townships
are all under the 1900 mark, most of
them being under the 1000 mark. We
raised 381 bushels of timothy seed
and PIP bushels of clover seed last
year, only seven townships reporting
rthe threshing of timothy seed, and on
lily towns-Johnsonville and West
interpreting clover growth, the
former reporting twelve bushels and
tho latter 900 hushaIs.
The onward march of the county
towards raising fruit is slow one.
There we're 12,479 apple trees in the
county last year Ill of which we're
bearing, and only 81 bushels of ap-
piles reported. The failure of assessors
to make accurate returns is the fault
of this, as every one knows that Red
wood county raised more apples last
year, than reported. The city of Red
wood Falls alone raised over SO bu-
shells, and other townships, if accurate
ay reported, would have sent the
amount to oyer 100 bushels. Kintire
reported having raised seven bushels
of apples, Three Lakes nine and Will
low Lake FIVE, these three towns re-
porting the alleged total apple crop.
Charlestown reported that ~ grape
vines in that town bore 900 pounds of
grapes last year, and Kintire reported
al -.
several vines, but they we're not re-
ported last year.
Westline comes to the front this
year with whole lot of originality
about its report. For instance, it re-
ports having raised 200 pounds of to-
bacco. Presuming the report to be
correct, it is probably the first tobacco
