This issue of TIE GAZETTE COM
mences the thirty third year of the
existence Of the paper, dating back
to the first publication Of the Red
wood Falls Mail, founded by the
late Virgil G. Seward; Of which
paper The GAZETTE is the successor.
As far back as 1868 a paper was
issued for.the little settlement then
at Redwood Falls. It was the Red
wood Falls Patriot. The proprietor
was Thomas M. Perry of St. Peter,
where the paper was printed, and
its editor was Col. Sam. McPhail,
the founder of Redwood Falls, who
possessed a quaint, frontier style Of
originality that was ever pleasing.
The price of the paper wac 81 per
year,ibut it was only published a
couple of times, when the Colonel.
concluded that newspaper work
and subscription collection was not
the easiest thing on earth, and the
publication was aband
It was in August of 1869, however,
| that Mr.. Seward, who afterwards
conducted the Saltwater Messenger,
established the Redwood Falls Mail,
bringing an entire newspaper plant
| to this toWn-a plant which at that
time was considered far ahead of
the town. Mr. Seward started IN
with a seven column folio, two
pages of which were printed in ST.
Paul He was given "a liberal ad
IYertising patronage, and gave such
news as life on the frontier war

the cellar or basement floor of MIR.

How the Queen Manages Her
Farm.

Notwithstanding the fierce light
which beats upon the throne
many people seem to have been
surprised TO learn of Her Majesty s
great success at the Birmingham
cattle show, tor few of us are
accustome TO think of our
sovereign as "Uictoria, Queen and
| farmer"
Sixty years ago Prince Albert
became member of the Snithfeld
Club, and every year since that
time Her Majesty's farms have
been represented at the leadiLp
agricultural and fat stock shows.
while the Queens personal Interest
in farming and agriculture has
increased rather than diminished
IS years have gone by.
When the court is at Winds ,r, is
at Windsor, it rarely happens that
more than day or two 'elapses
without the sovereign paying a
long and detailed visit to- her two
farms. Further, the Queen is
most kind in allowing strangers to
90 over them, and both the Shaw
farm and the Flemish farm have
been. visited by all the leading
agriculurists of this country and
of the continent. 1t is at the
Shaw farm that Cicely, the
Shorthorn heifer who has just
won the three challenge cups of a
hundred guineas each, was bred,
her progress from infancy being
watched by the Queen with the
greatest interest. Here also, in
the home farm, 10 give 1T it's
second name are kept some curious
cattle, including the Zulu COW.
was a present from Jetewayo's
brother.
As is natural, the sovereign
devotes more attention to what
may be called the dairy side OF
farming than to that which simply
consists of the production of fat
stock. Till comparatively recently
the Queen, accompanied by some
of her daughters and grand
children was fond of walking
. n the early morning to the dairy
farm, there to partake of new-laid
eggs, delicious butter, and sill
labubs. The dairy, which was
erected in the twenty-frst year OF
the Queen reign, is charming
building, lined with Minton tiles.
the windows being filled in with
stained glass, Of which the design
includes roses, shamrocks, thistles
and harebells. Some fifty COWS
are MIXED each day and even in
winter upward of thirty pounds of
butter is made daily, special
little churn being set apart for the
production of that served at the
Queens breakfast. All the dairy
tables are of solid marble, and
below, extending to the full length
of each, is a reservoir through
which a staeam of water can: when
desired, be kept flowing. At each
end of the dairy stands a majolica
fountain, while a third fountain,
consisting of an exquisite water
nymph pouring water from a jar
ornaments another side of the
royal dairy. At one time the
Queen was fond of going regularly
into the cow houses, and even now
she often makes inquiries as to
the milking record of favorite
Alderney.
