ATTRACTIONS IN

NEW CROPS.
As many farmers in Breckenridge
and adjoining counties see that toDac-
co is no longer a profitable crop for
them and are turning their attention
TO sonnet hing else, Inquiries, OF
course, into other means OF making
money on the farm are being made.
The News is of the opinion that the
farmer would fare better than at
present if he would devote his time
and money to raising more hogs,
mules. poultry, ETC., for which there
is a growing demand and of which
there is no over production. Many
farmers, however, do not agree with
this idea or fear that they would be
unsuccessful In putting it into prac-
tice. Then there is another class who
realize the value of the idea and will
attempt this year to adopt 1t, but I'm
a small scale. This method. OF
course, is very good. Let the farmer
raise more poultry, mules, or hogs
this year than he did last, and still
more next year. Let him continue to
raise the same crops he has been, to-
pacco excepted, but decrease his
acreage proportionately as he increases
the size of his herd of live stock or
his flock of chickens and turkeys. Aud,
finally, let him raise Only enough
wheat, corn and other crops to supply
FOOD for his family and his stock.
For the farmer who wants to quit
raising tobacco. and still keep his
land in some KIND OF crop, other
crcIs are holding out attractions, end
some farmers are going to raise them
this year in certain sections of the
State Three of these crops are given
below
In one section of the Sta prepare
tions are being made to plant the en-
tire tobacco acreage in cotton this
spring, as the growers claim that
although the cotton crop IN Kentucky
is a partial failure, they will be able
to make more than they are by raising
tobacco.
A new crop to which the attention
of the farmers is being attracted is
broom corn. Delivered at the facto-
ries 1t brings about 5 and cents
pound, a figure which will pay much
better than tobacco. At this price it
is said that the returns per acre and
per hand will be very much more
than those from tobacco, the crop is
there is little or no chance Of failure
or a short crop, and altogether it.fur-
nishes many advantages as money
crop over tobacco, one of which is
that the planting season is about the
same and the marketing time from
one.to three months earlier. The far
mers of the county would do we'll to
investigate the matter and give broom
corn a trial
And then there are the canning
crops, such az tomatoes. sweet co IN
and peas. The J. 7. Polk company's
cannery in this city will use these
crops and Others this year and buy
them in Hancock, Perry and Brecken-
ridge counties. At different cities In
Kentucky and Indiana where canning
factories have been in operation fol
a number of years, farmers have rais-
ed nothing but canning crops, as they
know the price is fixed and the mar
ket certain when they raise them tor
cannery This fact alone attests to
the profitableness of raising canning
crops and should give the farmers OF
this section some valuable food for
thought.

fore the voters in more convincing
manner. John Lind deals in sledge-
hammer blows, driving his arguments
home in such a way as to create the i'm
preston that he is telling the absolute
truth, whether it be the truth or not.
Were John Lind to become R. G..
Dunn's opponent, even in this, presi-
Dental year, the Republicans should lose
no time in an attempt to belittle his
strength among the voters. His cam
paigns always have been marked by an
energy that was remarkable, and his
forceful arguments from the stump have
set even staunch Republicans to do some
guessing. 1t is to be hoped that Mr..
Lind will not reconsider his determine
ton not to be the Democratic party's
gubernatorial candidate. A weaker man
at the head of the enemy's ticket would
ensure the success of Mr. Dunn at the
polls in November.

WILL ARGUE THE POINT.
Suit to Determine the Legality Of {
Real Estate Deal.
From Wednesdays Daily.

rIOm WeuueSOayS OalIy.
Supplementary proceedings brought in
the district court in Blue Earth county
against 81. Pritchard of Lake Crystal,
dealer in farm machinery, by Attorney
Long in behalf of the Grand Detour
Plow company of Dickson, ILL.,, to recov-
er on judgment for $3.50, reveal cur
ious state of affairs. For some time past,
the plaintiffs attorney has been making
a search for some property of the defend
ant to satisfy the judgment. 1t appears
that some time ago Pritchard purchased
tract of land in Ransom county, North
Dakota, from E. G. Sprague of Lake
Crystal, giving in return his stock of
goods. It developed in the court pro-
ceedings that Pritchard had sold the land
back to Sprague, as he thought, but in
stead of executing new warranty deed for
the transfer of the land back to Sprague,
had simply handed back Sprague's deed
to him. The attorneys will argue the
question, whether such a transfer of
real estate can be held legal. 1t if can
not, the. land still belongs to Pritchard
and his hungry creditors will devour a
slice of it.

would rather locate in an up-to-date
city than they would in one that is be-
hind the times, or one that does not
keep pace with towns of like size and
Importance. Mankato merchants recog
nize the good that will result from paw
ing, and they are in favor of the coun-
cil's action.
When the move was made to pave
Broad street property owners on Front
entered no protest, but many of those on
Broad street stated that if the council
had ordered the pavement of Front
street first there could have been no ex-
cuse for litigation because the Front
street property was producing something
for the owners benefit This appeared
to be reasonable argument, but a
number of Front street property own
ers who are deriving handsome revenue
from their buildings are laying every
obstacle possible in the way of street
improvement. The Free Press is glad
to state, however, that other property
owners are urging the improvement and
endorse the councils firm stand in favor
of civic progress.
The board of trade several weeks ago
endorsed the action of the council. In
order to place itself on record as being in
favor of progress the Business Mems as
ISOLATION should follow the boards
example.

MRS. HAMMETT DEAD.
Well Knewn Lady Passes Away at
Twelve O'clock Today.

from wednesdays DAILY.
Mrs. Sarah Hammett, one of the best
known ladies in Mankato, died at twelve
o'clock today at the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs j. W. Wilcox, 2l0 Willard
street Mrs. Hammett's death was not
wholly unexpected as she had been in
i'll health for some time, caused no doubt
by advanced years.
Mrs. Hammett was born in Virginia
nearly seventyseven years ago. She
moved with her parents to Illinois, and
for number of years lived near Peoria.
Here she married Richard Hammett. The
couple moved to Minnesota in 1858, and
settled on claim in Hebron, Nicollet
county. There they resided until 1862
when they were forced to leave by the
savages who were devastating the coun-
try Mr. and Mrs. Hammett came to
Mankato and made their home. Mr..
Hammett died number of years ago.
Mrs. Hammett's maiden name was Sarah
Parker.
Mrs. Hammett was the mother of five
daughters and one son, as follows: Mrs.
j. w. Wilcox, Mrs. Robert Girvin, Mrs.
Fred Prowse of Mankato; Mrs. A. j..
Streeter, Minneapolis; Mrs. Wilfred
Shaw of Lacon, ILL.,, and W. r Hammett
of this city.
Mrs. Hammett was a devout member
of the Methodist Episcopal church and
an active worker up to but short
time ago in the Ladies' Aid society. She
was a most excellent woman, who dis
pensed charity with liberal hand. Her
death will be felt among large cir
Gle of friends.
The funeral arrangements are not
yet completed.

most entirely disappeared and at the
present rate of change it will not be
many years before practically every
public highway in the city will be paved
with asphalt.
''The paving of Fifth avenue in Gen
eral Collis' term as commissioner of
public works seems to have turned the
scales in favor of asphalt in thorough
fares where traffic is heaviest. The test
was most severe inasmuch as the
smoothness of the new pavement rem
dered Fifth avenue more popular than
ever with the drivers of all kinds of
vehicles from the victoria to the four
horse truck with its many ton load.
The result is that traffic has increased
to such an extent that the roadway is
choked from morning to night. Still
the pavement bears up well under the
strain and there is no indication of any
desire to go back to the rough and noisy
blocks of stone"

How ST. Cloud Got lt-"In the Neck

How ST. Cloud Got It-"ln the Neck"
The st. Cloud Journal Press tells lit
tie story of how that city "got it in the
neck" 1t was ever thus in politics, but
we can't say that we can extend great
amount of sympathy to Judge Searle:
"St. Cloud did not fare any better at
the Republican state convention than it
did at the Democratic convention. Judge
Collins was defeated for the nomination
for governor by the unseating of over
hundred delegates elected in his interest
A movement started some time ago to
make Judge D. B. Searle candidate for
supreme justice-which movement was
started by the Dunn men to handicap
Judge Collins promised at one time to
succeed. After the outrage on Hen
nepin county had been administered, and
it became apparent that Judge Collins
nomination was impossible, Dunn and
his managers, in full control of the con-

Searle. With this understanding he per-
mitted his name to go before the con-
vention, and was defeated. A study
of the votes by counties discloses that
the Dunn forces had evidently
made the same promise to Judge Jag
gard of st. Paul. The latter gentle
man, having the backing of Ramsey
county, with its 81 votes, won. Judge
Searle's friends would have been pleas
ed to have seen him nominated, and he
would have been had the Dunn managers
kept their promises. AS it is st. Cloud
received the double cross-and while not
exactly jubilant will take their medicine
with the best grace possible"
