THE FARMS OF MINNESOTA.

L. G. Powers, chief statistician for
agriculture, has submitted his report
on the farms of Minnesota. According
to this report the farms of Minnesota
on June 1, 1900, numbered 1869, and
had value of s669,522,315. OF this
amount s11o,22o,415, or 16.5 per cent,
represents the value of buildings, and
s559,3o1,9 500, or S3.5 per cent, the value
Of land and improvements other than
buildings. On the same date the value
of farm implements and machinery was
$4,000, $50, and that of live stock $780,
063,097. These values, added to that of
farms, give $7SS,6S4,642, the total value
of farm property"

animals, poultry and bees, including

GOING INTO CANADA.

One Of the emigration movements
that is beginning to attract wide attell-
ton is the phenomenal Invasion of the
Canadian northwest by American
farmers and business men, Manitoba
and other nearby sections receiving
them. 1t is estimated by one careful
observer that fully 100000 people from
the United States will so into those
sections this year. Many of these emil
grants are farmers who have sold lands
81 good prices in Iowa and other vest
ern states receiving from SIS to SIS for
home places and have been attracted to
that section by the cheaper lands at Is
per acre and less. American companies
lave been buying tracts by the hun
Greds of thousands of acres, one syntii-
cate alone having acquired block of
Canadian territory comprising over Il
million of acres. These lands are NJ
luringly advertised in smaller tracts
and lead to extensive sales. The soil is
rich enough TO produce good wheat
crops, but The variety Of agricultural
products which may be success
fully raised that far north is not large.
Probably many of these emigrants will
not be contented to remain in that re-
gion all their lives, but hope that The
rise in lands and subsequent sales win
fully compensate them.
What effect the large increase in pop,
ulation may have politically and indI1s-
trially is beginning to attract The
attention of Canadians. Prominent
bankers and business men of Canada
are publishing interviews, calling Mt
tcntion to the trade situation that is
opening to Dominion cities, and The
press is beginning to arouse the people
to the business and political problems
that are bound to result
1t is safe TO say that very few Ameri-
cans who have gone into this north
western region have given much atten-
ton to the change in government with
which they will meet. With a mild
form of monarchy prevailing there they
have little to fear and yet the change
is doubtless repugnant to hosts of them.
for it is announced that very few are
taking out naturalization papers. This
is confirmatory of the belief that their
to that section is largely ex-
detrimental. The problems to be met
and solved will be as interesting to
Americans as to Canadians.

MEMORIAL DAY.

To a North Third street home the lit
tie boy who delivers milks to the fam
| lily came early this morning. In explain
alton of his early arrival he said Me
and Jim are going to LeGrand today to
decorate mammals grave. Jim must
work at the livery tomorrow and we
can't so on the real decoration day so
we got up early to go this morning.
The boys were starting on a drive of
twenty miles Or more to pay their tri-
butte of flowers and undergraduates at
that altar of memory sacred TO all hui
manity-a mothers grave.
To one whose recollection goes back
to the birth OF the holiday the tilial pill
grimage of these little boys was illus
trative of the growth of the pleasing
custom of memorial day and of the
hold that holiday has secured upon So
ciety. Originally confined to the decor
alton of graves of soldiers the custom
grew of its own beauty and sentiment
to cover every grave with the dewey fra
GRANGE of its floral offerings without
respect to class or condition. Tomor-
row no mound, however humble will he
without It's little tokens of floral remenl-
ORANGES. While the public exercises of
the day will properly be devoted TO tie
dead soldiers of the republic the trust
beauty of the present memorial day is
that memory is busy with all the dead
and that all are unforgotten.
To the soldiers and sailors who
served their country we'll the civic hon-
ors of the day belong by right of their
service and self sacrifice. On the Cali
the ocean in memory of the sailors who
sleep beneath its waves. Boats are
loaded with flowers and all who wish 10
take part are taken aboard. When the
shoreline is lost sight of approprl-
ate exercises are held and the flowers
cast upon the waters by women ard
children. 1t is all sentiment but very
beautiful sentiment.
No holiday comes so close to the uni
versal hearts of our people as memorial
day. 1t would be well to suspend all
business possible on May 80. 1t should
not degenerate into a day of sports Or
loud celebration, but remain devoted to
quiet and reE;retful remembrance.

| Breakfast Foods Factory.
We produce in largest quantities all
l. the great grains, corn, wheat, oats,
rye, and should be the home Of such

Broom Factory.
We raise the broom corn; finest quail

Stove Factory.
The success of Marshalltown's fur
mace industry demonstrates that our
field would suit the stove business.
The Dakotas, Minnesota, Nebraska

kept warm.
Machine Shops.
The two large shops here are full of
their own special work. We have a
good field for machine shop for
general commercial work.
Cattle Packing House.
Our immense pork packing industry
is flourishing and both Swift and the
Arrnours have established large poul-
try packing houses. The same adj

packing plant.
Tile Factory.
We have no tile factory here and our
field for this business is almost un-
limited. We have the clays.
Buggy Factories.
We already have the largest carriage
factory in the west. Other buggy
factories making different qualities
would here find great and profitable
market for their goods. The buggy
business is rapidly moving west Of
Chicago for the western and Pacific
trade, the greatest and richest mar
