We tried its and had a he anlll ller with us as

the rescue this local might never have been

While travelling throughstne country the
other day we called on Commissioner
Swante Anderson, ut is farn. Mr. An
derson is one Of our prosperous farmers.
He commenced in 1860 with nothing: he
now has $40 acres of land largely under
cultivation, large. nice house ami
good barn. with plenty of good horses and
stock, and how has he made il? He saws
that he has worked hard but we do not be.
lieve this Is all. In conversation he said
he always made ]. practice of blowing his
land deep. That he kept his stables clean,
and bedded his horses and stock with
straw clean and dry enough almost for
man to sleep in, that he saved the cleanings
from his stables and hauled the same out
on his lands, and we believe that this care
and good sense carried out into all the 9TH
er little details of farming is what has
made him prosperous.

express our obligations TO you for your no.
BILE efforts in our behalf, and the only re-
muneration we can make you, is to use
every effort at our command to make this
paper one of which every Patron in the land

der obligations to the press of the State for
their generous and favorable receptions Of
the new paper. We. do not say it in any
boastful or vain glorious spirit, for the
merit is due to our friends rather than to
ourselves, but we are now satisfied t at
before The GRANGE ADVANCE will have
celebrated the first anniversary of its birth
day it will he the leading weekly paper in
the State of Minnesota, at least so far as
the number Of its subscribers is concern
ed. And why not? The PATRONS of this
State should make, and are able to make,
their paper the very best one in the State.
Let none lag in the good work. Forward

Caleb Gushing was appointed by the
President minister to Spain in the place Of
Gen. Sickles. Il few days ago, and the ap-
pointment was duly confirmed by the SEN
ate. Bat 10, the wheel Of fortune took
another turn and Caleb isn't going to Spain
as much as he was. Attorney General
Williams, lately appointed Chief Justice by
the President, seeing that his nomination
would not be confirmed by the Senate, re
quested the President to withdraw his
name, which the President at once did. and
just as the new minister to the new repub-
lie was packing up his duds, and perhaps
making up his little speech which he would
deliver to Mr.. Serrano. the new President,
he was informed that he had been appoint
ed Chief Justice Of the United States. His
confirmation is almost certain, and although
he is already beyond the age at which Jus
tices Of the Supreme Court may retire, lie
will in all probability do good service for
many years. This is a good nomination.


The Farmer Governor Of Wisconsin.


One of the most interesting events of the
past week was the Inauguration of the
Farmer Governor" Of Wisconsin, and the
other newly elected State officers. An un-
usually large number of persons from differ
ent parts of the State were present, but
all the ceremonies were of the simplest
kind and we'll BETTING the occasion and the
circumstances. After he was sworn in,
Governor Taylor remained in private con-
sultation with Ex-Governor Washburn for a
few moments, although the Executive Cham
Der was perfectly crowded with men of every
