A farmer was heard to complain
last Saturday of a lack of hitching
places in this city, to which another
farmer remarked, "'tis not because
Mineral Point has less hitching
places than other towns, but because
more farmers come here to hitch
than are found at any other town in
this part OF the country" That's a
significant straw in favor of Mineral
Point as a trading point for the farm
ing community.
The Eastern star Chapter gave
a reception for Rev. and Mrs. T.
Kent Wednesday evening, May I'd,
at the Masonic Temple, to express
the esteem of the order for these
worthy members preceding their de-
parture for new field of usefulness.
There was an entertainment of music
| and speaking and a banquet of good
things prepared and served by the
| fraters. This, with other evidences,
must convince Mr.. and Mrs. Kent
that they have in Mineral Point a
host OF friends who hope all good for
them in their new home, and will
give them "A hearty welcome when
ever they return.

Farmers Of this locality will
soon begin steering their sheep, and
1t is matter of Importance to know
that the tleeces should be tied with a
hard solid Irvine that will not give
off any fibres when it comes in con-
tact with the wool. Wool tied with
Sisal grass or binder Irvine, is not
worth as much on the market as
wool tied with wool Irvine for the
| reason that, with the exercise of the
utmost care in its removal, some of
the tibres adhere to the wool, and re-
| main with it through the various
| processes without discovery until
the goods are dyed when every
strand shows plainly on the surface.
| Manufacturers are the sufferers and
as Il consequence they will not pay
as high prices for wool tied with
binder Irvine as they will for wool
| tied with regular wool Irvine. 1t is
10 the interest of all wool growers to
give this matter their attention.
