COMPLETED THEIR LABORS.
Surveyors for Milwaukee Road Run
Line to Amboy.

From Fridays Daily.
The surveyors OH the Milwaukee line
from Good Thunder to this place finish
ed their work last Saturday, says The
Amboy Herald. They did not 60 beyond
here. Their orders were to survey to
Amboy and quit. The line as run
strikes the Omaha track about forty
rods north of the depot. Up to this
point no village property was crossed
The distance between the two places
is eleven miles by the survey and quite
level. No positive information could
be obtained as to the plans of the com
pany. One rumor is that the grading
will be done to this place this fall
There are various opinions as to the
would have on this place. Should a
station be put in between here and
Good Thunder and another in the town
ship of Pleasant Mounds which un-
doubtedly would be the case much bus
mess would be lost to this place. The
distance to Mankato by the way of
Good Thunder, is about four miles
shorter than by the way of Lake Crys-
tai and the Milwaukee line from Man
kato to ST. Paul is shorter than the
Omaha, hence passenger travel here
would take the shorter route, eth
er in going to Mankato or st. Paul The
particular danger to Amboy lies in los
ing the trade west of the river if the
road is built. The Herald is of the
opinion that the building of the road
would be damage to Amboy.

Crops that Pay Best.

Small farms can be made to combine
many advantages. Some poultrymen
grow plums in the poultry yards and al
so keep bees. Others grow early vege-
tables under glass and also grow two
or three crops in the open ground. One
gardener near Philadelphia makes a
large profit on four acres, on which he
grows only lima beans. Another makes
peas speciality, following the peas with
late cabbage. To attempt to ''farm'
four acres in the usual way, with wheat
corn, oats, ETC., would cause bankruptcy
The crops that pay best are those that
require the most hand labor.
