Even Railson, the bonanza farmer
OF Norway Lake, has tried an exper-
iment in tobacco raising. He informs
us that he planted half acre of tobac-
co last spring simply as an expert
ment and has now realized q crop of
1900 pounds. A couple of experts in
tobacco raising, Messrs. John Law
renee and Henry Tollefson ofStoughton
Wis, visited his farm and pronoun-
ced it the finest field OF tobacco they
ever saw. The planting was done
rather late in the season., but the rich
ness Of the soil gave it very rapid
growth. Mr.. Railson's experiment is
only one Of a number tried in differ
ent products by farmers in the state,
which shows that Minnesota can gain
a reputation in other lines than wheat
raising. .

of the evening. Misses Toulouse and

have such an appreciated audience as

IL VIII Put the Boers in n Better
Fiphting Humor.

ftbhttnH humOr.
New York. April LA dlspatch to the
Tribune from London says the wonder-
full run OF success which for so long
attended the movements OF the British
army in South Afrlcac was broken on
Saturday. when Colonel Broadwood's
,roops walked into Boer ambush east
Of Bloemlontein. The loss OF guns is NOS
in Itself very serious mat.ef,aui ind ed
the m.snap 10 not OF intrinsic military
Importance. but It's moral ene2t may be
considerable. Many Beers whJ mad be a
disheartenod by successive defeats will
now recover their spirits nd fight with
renewed vlgor.
OF course. the Beers may yet be pre-
vented from carrying off the captured
guns and wagons, but unless General Co
Vile can delay them, they viii make so d
their retreat. Owing, no doubt to o
iaat that tho action at Karee kloof, nort1
Of Glen, last Thursday was not Of great
Importance, the military censor has dealt
lightly with the copy OF the various war
correspondents describing II. General
Roberts evidently desired TO bring about
the surrender of the whole force of 30 rs,
the Hat country with all their guus and
wagons. on the whole It is doub ful
whether the results OF the operation was
commensurate with the loss OF life 1t en-
tailed.
Although the opinion is freely expires ed
In official circles that Matching is qui e
safe, the uncertainty as to the state OF th 3
food supply In the beleaguered town
causes great aniety here
