AROUND THE COUNTY. :
Items Of Interest Taken from the
Country Papers.

The bondsmen for the Mayer Bros.
iron works at Mankato have offered
to let the plant continue in opera
ton under the management Of trus-
tees, which action is hailed with
approval by the Mankato business
men.
GAINESVILLE Argus: A. A. Wilson
recently fitted up a split drag and
leveled the roads the whole length
of the farm and as a result they are
as level as floor. Now, if each
farmer in the country would do the
same thing it would solve the good
road problem.
Lyon County Reporter: Saturday
the county treasury was relieved of
S131.50 for wolf bounty. Chas.
Snapp received $46.5O IF this for
bringing in one full grown wolf and
twenty-one cubs. In spite of the
fact that the county has been settled
up fast each year, the wolves have
been on the increase each year.
The lakes in the vicinity of Man
kato will be cleaned of carp in the
near future. This will be done un-
der the supervision of officials from
the state game and fish commission.
1t would be we'll for parties inter-
ested in game fish in this city to
seek a like clearing of the lakes in
this vicinity, but the job will not be
an easy one.
Fairfax Standard: The base ball
season was opened on the local
grounds with a game between the
Fairfax Maroons and the Redwood
Falls team Sunday. If several OBJ
stacles had been removed Fairfax
might have won. The biggest OBJ
stacle which doomed up before them
was in the shape of one Francois,
the visitors gunner. Dutch" is
said to have an assortment Of curves
that would make an old maid green
with envy. He was all to the good
all the way and no less than Is of
the locals went up to the bat. struck
three times, land then they walked
right out again.
Springfield Advance: Postmaster
Schmelz has been assured by many
of the patrons Of rural route No. l
that the bad piece of road on the
route will be properly fixed up. On
this route a strip of road about
three miles long on the township
line of Shutdown and Willow Lake
has been in an almost impossible
condition for some time to which
the departments attention had been
directed. and in return an edict had
been sent out that unless the roads
were properly improved within thir-
ty days the service would be discon-
tinued. The patrons have taken
kindly to the proposition by already
fixing up a part of the road and the
two townships will jointly repair the
balance.
Wabasso Standard: We happened
to be in one of the grocery stores
here this week when Alfred Egle,
one of our careful farmers, came in
with pail of fine eggs. We called
attention to the unusually large eggs
he had, and he told us that he kept
nothing but we'll bred hens, that he
found it much more profitable than
raising scrubs. He said that the
value of the eggs from his SO hens
for the month of March and April
was little over S32, and the feed
for that time did not amount to
much as they picked nearly all their
living from the barn yard. This
means that 81 hens valued at per-
haps $50 to $35, brought him an
income of about SIG a month. If
there is anything raised on the farm
that pays better, amount invested
considered, we do not know what
it is.
Glencoe Enterprise: That the agri-
culturalists of this section of the
county are alive to their interests
and recognize dairying as profit
able branch on the farm, is very
evident from the large amounts that
are paid for milk to many Of them
by the Glencoe Butter and Cheese Co.
For milk received at this institution
during the month of April, checks
