Spend your money for insurance instead

With the farmer spring fashions never
change. The chief color is green, and the

As an instance of how productive a sim
gle tree may be, it is stated that a seed
ling orange tree in Glen county, Califor-
flnia, has yielded over 1,O00 oranges, and
having been planted twenty-five years
ago 1t has made crop every year for the
past seventeen years.
With some kinds of farm work it is bet
ter to be ahead of time than to be behind
time. Early potatoes ought to be planted
early, and late ones planted late. Man
ure is better hauled early and out of the
way than too late, and have it in the way
all the time.
w. II. Ketzeback, Wells, Mimi: 'There
seems to be no material change in the
flour market in the week We are run
ming along as usual. The demand for feed
keeps up and is greater than the supply.
Wheat IS moving quite freely"

wick counties. He employs from sixty to
seventy-fiVe men all the year round. Mr..
Butler began in 1882 with 100 acres.

'ldent The cattle were all standing by a
wire fence, which was struck by light

off as it ran along the wire and killing
the steers.
Sackett & Fay, st. Peter, Minn:-"We
found the -four trade somewhat dull dur.
Ing the past week. Foreign offers are too
low to accept. and domestic BUYERS are
holding back for lower prices. We are
running steadily, but mostly on orders
booked some time ago. Shipping instruc-
tons come in slowly. The demand for
feed is good and at very satisfactory
prices"
Crown Milling Co, Faribault, MINI.
I'VE have plenty Of business Orders
have come in freely, but at prices that
would not permit of acceptance were 1t
not for our extremely favorable position
for obtaining wheat. It /. got denied in
the milling trade that fON prices all
through are about 20 cents pee barrel too
low. The extraordinary demand and the
advance in feed of all kinds has been as
gratifying as it was unexpected"
no time to lose in getting the garden
ready for its sass" This is one kind of
sass I can stand. can stand other
kinds if I am compelled to, but garden
sass is my preference. Chickens and
garden truck get mixed up occasionally
TO the discomfort of the gardner, but the
wise man knows how to prevent this
mixture
