State Prison Mowers A Success

Reports have been received by ward
en- Henry Wolfer from six farmers of
Washington county who have tried the
minnesota" mower made at the state
prison as samples for experiments with
a view to the general manufacture of
such machines and harvesters in the
prison. The results of all the tests
were highly gratifying.
The farmers who used them, in ad-
dition to the one tried on the prison
farm, were: Charles Lund OF New
Scandal; J.. P. Perkins, Denmark; Pc
ter Thompson, Langdon, and Andrew
Richmond and Robert Harrington,
both living near this city. They say
that it is the best mower they ever
used. 1t has simplicity of CONSTRUCTION,
is durable, will work perfectly in
tangled and down clover or other grass,
and will not clog up in wet meadows.
Rush work is going Oh in the prison
shop to get some harvesters ready to
be tested. They will be done in time
to use in the late harvest in the north
ern part Of the state.

no little worry this year, and that is an
outbreak of fungus growth among
the plum trees. It appears in the form
OF 9 blight which attacks some of the
fruit shortly after it appears on the
stem. Whether the blight can be check
Cd by spraying or whether extensive
pruning will be necessary is still to be
discovered. There is also some little
trouble in the apple section. but it is
not OF aserious character. -s z
At the present time the experimental
farm is great show place, for with its
beautiful shaded roadways and graded
arlves its snowy beds of ANIMALS in
bloom it offers many attractions for
those on pleasure bent, while to the
FARMER anxious for information as to
the best means of increasing his yield
or OF handling his land, it is a perfect
mecca. In consequence, there is
steady stream OF visitors going and
coming.
l find that 1 must chop off for this
letter. We have an official historian
Tor the trip and I expect to publish his
report in full OF many details. How
ever, shall try to continue my own
perso nal impressions in later issues.
Ihls is great country and just begin
ming to be settled Only two percent
OF the arabic land of Saskatchewan
province is yet under cultivation and
tne total population of the province is
about 275, 900, not as large as that of
Minneapolis. They want settlers and
want them eagerly and will hold out
almost any inducements to get them.
In few hours we expect to cross
the line into the land of the Stars and
Stripes, the handsomest flag that floats
on earth. We have had magnificent
trip and cannut be too profuse in our
praises of Canadian hospitality. Yet
we shall be glad to be home again.
