industry and energy he has raised
himself to good easy circumstances,
although he began with nothing.
Mr.. Gratzek farms considerable land
and keeps good deal of stock. |
asked him his method of raising
stock, and remarked that it must re-
qulre much work to take care of so
many cattle, but he replied, Esthey
take care of themselves" On his
farm the cattle go about as they
please IN winter. He has stables for
them, but SO constructed that the
cattle can go out and in just as they
like, and in the big straw stacks
which stand here and there on his
farm they get their feed all winter
through. He uses very little hay in
comparison to the large number of
cattle kept. Feed is given to the
mich COWS, but the others have to
take care of themselves, and his stock
was in very fair condition. It is won
derful what freedom can do, even for
cattle. The feed and care given to
the cattle would be wholly insuffi-
cient if they did not have their liber
ty. When visited Mr.. ,Gratzek all
his children were to school, but if one
comes there when they are all at
home one will find a ceaseless activity
seldom found on a farm. All the
members of the family, large and
small, have each their duty to per-
form. ldleness and inactivity seem
to be entirel y. unknown on the Grat-
eek farm. Com

ART,

Your Foldahl correspondent has
not been very active this winter. But
the thing is simply this: there has
been nothing to write about. It has
happened, of course, that one or an
other Ole Olson has been to Argyle,
or some Lars Larson or Hans Olson
have been to Warren, or that one
Mrs. Olson has visited Mrs. Ander-
son, or that some farmer has hauled
rails for new fence, but of such
news there is plenty in the SHEAF,
and have consequently not written.
Another and more important cause is
that your correspondent stays inside
like the bear in his winter quarters,
and hence can gather few news. But
it happens that sometimes he has to
get out. Thus recently he made a
trip north to town of Wright, to at
tend to some business at the town
clerks office, and thus got the oppor-
tunity to have chat with the genial
and hospitable town clerk, Mr.. Grat-
EEK, who is pioneer not only in the
town management, but is a leader
who has taken part in the hardest
work for the development Of his town
in all ways. He is a hard worker,
and has-reared a large family. By

Stars cleaned in their orbits, was he damaged

He veeredto the east, he veered to the west,
He veered wherever his feet thought best;
Amazement stared on beholding such skill,
While Accident chuckled there would be some

Little cared this snake, and his spirit was high,
Till his skate found a crack and he found he

He lit not as wont to the birds of the air,
But he lit on quarter most used on chair.
Off came the skates in painful haste, ..

Snow going fast today. "
There was quite a turnout from
this town last week, all for Warren.
G. j. and G.. E. Anderson, Erik
Erickson, Geo. w. Elliott, D. D.
Johnson, Mrs. r. Barnum and some
others, all took in the HUB, and part
of them to attend court. Your cores
pondent was at the new court house,
and it is daisy. Sheriff Green and
his deputies were full of business.
We must say we are proud of the
Marshall county court house. No
northern county of the state can show
better one or better set of county
officers than this county can. We
should re-elect the whole batch of
them, and probably they will be.
We also think we have as good a
judge as any district in the whole
state. ~ "..
Most of the lumber mills have
pulled up now; one left at Klondyke
and one near Slab City are yet doing
business.
L. P. Brandstrom is still doing
business at the old stand. He made
us pleasant call to-day on his way
out to his shingle mill. Z
sAdurctt si.,e.
The weather is nice now.
All are in hopes we. shall get an
early spring.
There seems to be lots of talk of
railroad being built through this
part of the county this summer, and,
of course, most all think it will go
through their land. AS for us, we do
not wish to have it nearer than three
to five miles, as we might loaf around
town too much if it was any nearer :;
then again, we won't worry very
much about it yet, as it will be time
enough after it is built; we hardly
think it will be built yet for while.
Well, it seems as though the Eng
lish have got the Beers about
whipped. Wonder if they will give
the Beers $20,000,000! We guess
not - it is not their way of doing
business. They wish to wipe out all
republics, especially if they are small
ones. She tried this one twice, but
failed. Now she don't like to try us
again, but takes in all small ones she
can get hoh Of. She calls on all
other colonies to furnish men to help
her whip the Beers; we,suppose if
she should get into war with Can
ada the Beers will have to turn out
to help subdue them, same as the
Canadians are now doing with the
Beers. If England sees a dollar any
where she is bound to have it if in
her power to get it. No matter in
what way, is the way we see it, or it
is no matter how many lives are lost,
SO she gets the dollar.
Great prosperity has struck this
country, or at least the dailies say so,
but they don't say much about that
small lot Of 10000 laborers in Chica-
go who are on strike to get wages
that they can make decent living on
for themselves and their families, or
the many farmers who are now pay
ing from SO to 200 per cent more for
all kinds Of goods they have to buv
than they did year ago, and are
getting no more for their produce
han they did a year ago, except flax,
md but very small per cent Of the
:armers raise any flax in the Red
River Valley, SO all farmers in this
part OF Minnesota cannot see where
'ur prosperity comes in. Surely, not
or farmers. All the papers in the
United States can't make the people
1ere believe that prosperity has

DUN'S REVIEW OF A

NEW YORK, January 19.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Whether the new year will surpass or
keep pace with The old is the question
which gives especial Interest to every
weeks returns. Comparing now with bus
mess by far the largest and most pros
porous ever known year ago, more thar
40 per cent. larger man in January. 1888,
which in its turn had shown heavier bus
mess than in any year preceding it cannot
be expected that such a gain will be re-
peated. But the decrease of 9.6 per cent.
in payments through c~isaring houses is
wholly due to great speculative activity in
New York last year. with sales IL, 031, $50
shares against 6,51S,sA to the same date
this year, for payments outside this city
have been 4.3 per cent. greater than a year
ago, M greater than in the same part of
any other month.
This week one contract of 10000 tons for
a western road and two for bridges re-
curing HOO tons, are HE only large trans
actions reported in lion products, but
heavy business was secured by concessions
for plates at Pittsburg going materially
below s2.2 and for bars at Philadelphia be-
low 1920, the price OF the association.
Sheets are also lower al the east, but at

pig at reduced prices INCLUDE two for 10000
tons, and No. l Lehign is quoted at $2f.
but Ressemer and grey forge at Pittsburg
are held unchanged, tholgh without sales.

CHICAGO, January 19.-The cessa-
ton of liquidation was the main factor
in a quiet but firm wheat market to-
day with the steadiness of Liverpool
and frost damage to the French crop
contributary influences, May closing Ac
over yesterday. Corn closed Ac and
oats B@Hc lower. Provisions closed
unchanged to 71ac lower.
With Liverpool firm and Northwest
receipts moderate, wheat opened firm a
shade over yesterday, May at 65h9
e5ssc. The weakness Of cor and oats
made itself felt shortly afterward and
May sold off to 65A @65%c. Additional
reports of damages to the French crop
bv frost caused exporters to cover
shorts later and as a slight improve
ment in local and in the cash demands
met with rather light offerings the mar
ket reacted, carrying May TO 65Bc.
Trade was moderately active and the
advance was steadily maintained, May
closing firm Ac over yesterday at 65%c.
Primary receipts were $4,000 bushels,
compared with 677, 1000 bushels last
wear. Minneapolis and Duluth report
ed 327 cars, against 1874 last week, and
504 a year ago. Local receipts were "a
cars. none of which was graded con-
tract. New York reported "a loads
taken for export. Atlantic port clear
ances in wheat and -four were equal to
265, 900 bushels.
Corn was easy, influenced largely by
the assertion that the government re-
port expected to be bullish would be
issued Saturday. and being in contra
diction OF a previous report that it would
not be published this month. Trade
was quiet. There was no increase In
country offerings and receipts here were
275 cars, but the shipping demand was
also poor. May ranged from 1850 to
$685. @33kc, and closed Ac under yes
terday at 33Ac.
The easiness of corn, combined with
the expectation Of the issuance Satur-
day of a government report discourag-
