Ties from Straw.

A Washington man has struck a
rich idea at least, 1t will make him
rich If things pan out as he expects.
There are about 20.O00.O00 railroad ties
used in the United States in a year.
and each tie costs the road about 75
cents. Iron and stone cannot be
used, as they have no elasticity. so
wood has remained as the only thing
available. Now the Washingtonian
comes forward with a machine which
will make ties from straw, the cheap
est material in the world, and the ties
will be firm. but elastic. They are
made by secret, but very cheap
process.

Strawberries.

The principal object striven for by
growers of strawberries in Minnesota,
is late ripening of the crop, which

berries havo become scarce. In this
respect northern Minnesota presents q
distinct advantage. The main crop of
Strawberries on the experiment farm
has always been picked after the 4th
OF July, and as late as the 10th or 18th.
With most farmers the desire is SIM

use. With proper methods, this may
be done with very little labor. Straw
berries to succeed need moisture and
fertility. They do best on fairly moist
soil not too easily dried out. It is best
to manure the bed heavily and plow

In Justice Court.

Frank White, county attorney of
Sherburne county, was up last Satur-
day to represent John Thorneuist, de-
fendant in the action brought by T. H.
Galley for restitution of the premises
at present occupied by defendant as a
saloon. The case was heard before
Justice Chadbourne. Thornquist had
leased the premises for term of one
year with the privilege of a renewal of
lease for an additional term of two years
from the first day of February of last
year. At the expiration of the years
lease no arrangements were made for a
renewal of the lease and it was claimed
that defendant was after that time
merely a tenant at will. Mr.. Galley
served notice on Thornquist on the
eleventh day of last February
that he wished to have possess
sion of the premises on the first day of
April, but defendant refused to vacate
and it is claimed by the defendants
counsel that under the terms of the
lease the notice was not properly
given. Justice Chadbourne found for
the plaintiff. The case will be ap-
pealed. Mr.. White drove up from Elk
River Tuesday to make out the neces-
sary bonds, etc.

o % o WITH FARMERS

Abel Peterson is one of the farmers
near Princeton who is regular patron
OF the creamery here. He lives about
three miles from town, on section nine,
and has an 80-acre farm which he pur-
chased in the, fall of 1898, and is grad
ually making himself good farm of
the land as nature left it. He has been
breaking seven or eight acres of land
on which he will plant fodder corn.
MIR. Peterson will not plant much small
grain this year and will devote a good
deal of his land that is under cultiva-
tion to corn and potatoes. He will also
raise few onions. Mr.. Peterson says
that in his vicinity potatoes for some
reason or another were a poor crop
last year, and there were many places
where they failed TO come up at all.
This year he proposes to try only two
or three acres.
Gus Thoma who belongs to the COL
ony of successful farmers in the vicin-
lty OF Germany, does not intend to let
the potato craze run away with him.
He has farm of eighty acres and pro-
poses to pin his faith to varied sys-
tenn of agriculture. He will devote
most of his land this season to wheat,
oats and corn, but will raise a few po-
tatoes, and will try four acres of Early
Ohios.
W. II. Thompson and his neighbor
Alex. Belair were at the creamery
Monday morning with their regular
supply of milk. Mr.. Thompson is at
present milking eight COWS. He re-
ports his COWS as doing we'll in milk
yield but says he sees to it that they
are fed plenty of good succulent and
nutritious food, which alone goes
long ways toward making COW a good
mixer. Pedigree alone will never
suffice. Good feed and good treatment
is an awful lot in the handling of
COW. Mr.. Belair who halls from Can
ada, the land of expert stockmen and
good beef feeders and butter makers,
thought farmers in the west did not
pay enough attention to this phase of
the stock business. The COW is pretty
much what the farmer makes her, in
large sense at least Mr. Belair is
milking eight COWS at the present
time. He is an all-round farmer and
believes in getting everything possible
out of the soil. He will plant about
five acres of potatoes, two of which he
will plant to Early Ohios.
