HONEST PHYSICIAN

1t is a mistake to assume that physi-

correct food and drink. A physician

"Hour after hour we looked anxious

to resort to the railroad snow fence for
fuel. We kept the engine alive with
snow fence boards until relief came.

mind was worse than the work.

she was in fine shape and ready for

get anything.
'We sent over to farm house to
try to buy something to eat. We got

he could eat the pickles himself, as l

were in the snow drift twenty two
hours before relief came.

Farmers living in the vicinity of Man
kato and other interested parties who
visit the city at 1890 p. m. on Thurs
day, March 2, will have an opportunity
of listening to lectures on agriculture at
the Milwaukee Great Western passen-
ger depot, where the Milwaukee seed
special will stop for that purpose. Pro-
fessors from the agricultural col
leges of Minnesota and South Dakota
will give talks for one hour on "The Sc
lection of Seed Grain"
The schedule of lectures at various
points of the Milwaukee road for that
day is as follows: Lecture at Wells,
9:45 a. M; leave Wells, l0:30 a. M; ar
rive Mapleton, ll:30 a. M; Mankato,

The professors of the agricultural
colleges of the states of Minnesota and
South Dakota have made a careful
study of seed grain production and
planting as well, and these lectures, by
the professors of the colleges in their
respective states, will be of inestimable
benefit to the agriculturists of Mime
sofa and North and South Dakota. A
day of two's work in making proper Sc
lection of seed will mean thousands of
bushels increased production. The lee
ture is free and all farmers are cordial
