ADVICE TO FARMERS.
Hints from Editor Whiteman Of the
Ortonviile, Herald.

A sense of humor is good faculty
to develop in cloudy seasons. Up
around Ortonville the water supply
is even more abundant than along
the Minnesota, and Editor White
man got slightly hilarious last week
over the request of a farmer near
there who came in to advertise an
estray boat which came into his en-
closure the night before, and which
he tied up to await the owner.
This boat is thot to have escaped
from the fleet lately engaged in
sowing fax in the town Of Moon
shine or possibly from the public
schools of Chokio, where boats have
entirely superseded rubber boots.
The Herald Star hopes to be the
medium by which this boat is re-
turned to its rightful ..owner, and
at the same time it takes advantage
of the opportunity to offer little
timely advice to its subscribers in
the flooded districts.
Hay stacks should be Strongly
anchored and covered with tar
paulins when possible: lighthouses
should be erected on section corners,
and wrecking crews kept in readi-
ness; if the waves roll too high for
the growing grain pour kerosene oil
on the water and reportIito Rookie
Teller; all edible fish should be driv-
en- into a tight enclosure at night
and picketed out during the day;
any negligence in this direction may
cause serious loss. Only lastE week
Ben Smith lost a fine German carp,
Amos Benston two yearling buffalo
fish and Brede Mikkelson barrel
of imported stock fish fry by letting
them stray away into Benston's lake,
where they were drowned. Ducks
and geese should be hobbled and
hogs provided with Charlie Stark's
new patent web feet. Most farm
fers have already complied with thu
new law and their houses are now
well supplied with life preservers
Ordinances requiring cows to wear
bathing suits are being enforced ano
