Most farmers in this vicinity find
their meadows and last years seeding
badly winter killed and are compelled
to pillow up and reseed the lands intend
ed to produce this years hay. Timothy
and clover seed too, has ruled the high
est ever known, involving an enormous
outlay for replenishing the fields. 1t
is not unusual for some of the larger
farmers to expend from 5000 to $500
for grass seed alone this spring, all of
which means light hay crop the COM
ing season.
The last of the sheep held at the

and are we'll pleased with the conven-
fences at the station. A. Jensen &
Sons have leased Is acres of land con-
nected with the yards for raising crop
of tobacco.
On the Mineral Point division they
are trying new type of headlight on
st. Paul locomotives. The new kind is
said to be very much more efficient
than the present candle glims and is
capable of throwing light eight hun

wick and reflector different from those
now in use. The power of the light,
however, lies in the bullseye tense,
which takes the place of the glass in
the ordinary light. A shield is pro-
vided for the new headlight when it is
not in use.
