A half century ago, a waterpower was

pioneers from New England saw at a

Nearly if not all Of the manufacturers
Of farm machinery have established de-
pots here. for the distribution of their
goods, while a large number have seen
the advantage of locating their fac
tories here, and thus being able to
distribute their product direct from
factory to user. Thus have been es-
tablished plants for turning out thresh-
ing machines, plows, harrows, wagons,
many other implements. In this line
Of manufacturing Minneapolis offers
splendid opportunities. The material
for the machinery necessary upon the
farms Of the northwest can be found
here, or brought here more cheaply in
the raw state, while nineteen lines of
railway radiates from the city in every
direction, affording excellent facilities
for the distribution of the manufac-
tured articles.
Metal w Jerking.
Metal working has become an impor-
tant factor in the industrial life Of
the city. Numerous foundries and ma
chine shops, boiler works, engine plants,
structural-iron works, fence factories
and other plants for the manufacture of
goods from iron, steel and brass are
being operated successfully. The Min
neapolis Steel g. Machinery company
recently stabished here, is filing con
tracts turnout the west and employing
locally about 800 men. ~.

dustry which would be Of the greatest
benefit to the northwest Most of the
readers Of this paper know that these
exhibitions have been conducted with
great success and that there have been
large sales of cattle each year at the
fair. But actual results are not gener-
ally known. ~
AS a matter Of fact where few breed
ers Of pure bred cattle could be found
in the state five years ago, there are
now. scores who have established fine
herds, while hundreds Of farmers have
laid the foundation for herds, which
will be source of wealth to them in
future years. The secretary Of the
National Shorthorn association after
! travelling thru Minnesota this summer
expressed his surprise that there were
so many breeders in the state, who had
so far built up their herds as to have
stock to sell. Much of the list of cat
tie for sale at the Shorthorn auction
this year will be from Minnesota farms

two mills located about the falls, and
the annual product approximates 49,

Within recent years Minneapolis has
also become the leading city. Of the

tlaxseed were received at Minneapolis,
the greater part of which was trans
formed by local millers into linseed
oil and oilcake, producing l4S,796
barrels Of the former and 1850 tons
of the latter.
The manufacture of flour at the
falls called for the production of
barrels and bags, and the manufac-
ture Of these articles has grown to
great Importance, as has also the manu-
facture of cereal foods.
Varied Industries.
The receipt annually at Minneapolis
of over S5,000,OOO bushels of grain and
the manufacture Of the larger part into
flour by her mills makes the city a
suitable place For the manuf acture of
mill machinery, betting, elevator buck
cts and other mill and elevator fittings.
Some development is apparent along
these lines, but additional plants would
find local market for their products
at considerable advantage in the
matter of freights between raw mate
rial and finished goods.
But Minneapolis has become more
than city with one, or even two,
leading manufacturing lines AS the
city became market for grain and
other products of%the surrounding ter
ritory, it became naturally the supply
point for agricultural implements.

The statistics gathered by the United

only a continuance of growth in manu-

ries of this city are in operation almost
continuously turnout the year; that
they have fewer shut-downs than have
those of almost any other city of the
country. This gratifying condition, as
well as the uniform success Of the man
ufacturing plants of Minneapolis, is
