St. Peter Herald: About two
weeks ago sparks from N.Western
locomotive set fire to a peat bog in
Traverse, and the deposit is still
smouldering stubbornly. For three
days the railway company had
force of fifteen men and three teams
at work digging bitches thru the
peat in an effort to arrest the spread
of the fire, but it is not successful
ard an area of about 80 acres has
been burned. The principal damage
is in a meadow owned by Rudolph
Wendelshafer.
A very desirable step, says the
Blue Earth County Enterprise, in
the introduction Of business methods
on the farm, is taken when the farm
er begins paying his bills with checks
on bank instead of in currency.
The plan is desirable, in itself, from
the fact that the check. after pay
ment, serves as a receipt for the
money which too often passes from
hand to hand without receipt Many
a sum has been paid twice by either
the farmer or his estate, when the
second payment could have been
! avoided by reference to a file of
checks returned by the bank. Again,
by paying with checks there is no
trouble in making change, and there
is no danger incurred of losses, which
frequently happen from keeping
currency in the pocket or in some
supposedly safe place" in the house.
: Added to this is the credit which
comes to the imam with bank ac-

, Two farmers were not long since
discussing their local paper. One
thought it had too many advertise
ments init. The other replied: In
my opinion the advertisements are
: far from being the least valuable
| part of it. | look them over care
: fully and save at least five times the
cost of the paper each week through
; the business advantage | get from
, them" Said the other: Il believe
; you are right know that they pay
] me well and rather think it is not
good taste to find fault with the adj
vertisements after ALL" Those men
have the right idea of the matter
j It pays any man with family to
; take good local paper for the sake
of the advertising if nothing more
And if business men fail to give
Q farmers a chance to read advertise
: ments in the local paper they are
1 blind to their own interests, to say
= the least of it. You never trade
