The State farmers' institute will be held in the village of Princeton, Thurs day and Friday, Jan. 25 and 26, com mencing at 10 a. ra. sharp. Every farmer should -make his plans so that he can be in attendance during the entire session. Two days spent in at tendance at a farmers' institute may result jn the adoption of methods, the value of which cannot be estimated. At the, farmers' institute you will meet those who have traveled the rough and rocky road of experience, and they will try to aid you in avoiding some of the many difficulties they had to en counter. rv Thousands and thousands of dollars are annually lost in Minnesota to the masses by not knowing the practical methods of the most successful farm ers,'jvhich are "guide boards" to all otjhers, when heeded. All methods that have proven failures should be set up as "danger signals,'' to prevent others from falling into the same errors. The State farmers' institute is our traveling school of agriculture, which brings to our very doors the experi ences, means and methods for the best known practical results. It is all free, no collections and no charges. At the close of the first forenoon sesston, a very valuable book of over 850 pages (the Institute Annual), de voted to agriculture, stock raising, horticulture, dairying, sheep hus bandry, swine husbandry, poultry raising, domestic economy,, etc., etc. Will be given free. This book is esti mated by those who have carefully, examined it, to be well worth from $5.00 to $25.00 to those interested in the subjects therein contained No fariper should miss this gift. Ladies and young people ai-e especially in- yibe^jv..^.^ "_. r^mwineSOta Stale farmers' ihstltutes, supported by an appropriation for the purpose, have become so familiar with the thousands upon thousands of farm ers of the State that it would seem almost a waste of time to refer to the merits they justly deserve. But there may he some who have not attended of these institutes, and are noteffect. fully iaware of the good they are doing over Minnesota, consequently we here refer briefly to a few of the many fea tures of the work. The work aimed at in the institute is of the most practical character, and none but those who have .had the nec essary experience are retained as in structors. The work on the farm will be duly considered, from the proper tilling of soil to the preparation of the crop for the market. All the stock on the farm will receive due attention in the institute work, by those who will speak from practical experience. Breeding, feeding care and handling especially considered in its varied details. That Minnesota is yet destined to be come a practical fruit producing state there is now no question. This work at the farmers' institute will be repre sented by one of great experience. There is need of all the information we can get to prevent the further spread of hog cholera. Town boards and health officers are particularly urged to attend these institutes for the good of the communities in which they exert an influence. The various crops of grain grown on the farm will be duly considered for the least injury to the'soil, and most profit to the producer. All the useful grasses wjll be considered, for their value to the soil and feeding qualities clover especially. The cultivation of farm crops in con nection "j with a vigorous growth and the destruction of "weeds," is a feature of institute work that is of great im- portance:'-" Many hesitate to ask oral questions and for all such the question box is their source of information. Prepare your questions in* writing at your leis ure on what you want to know, and put them in the question box then at the proper time the questions will be distributed to the parties in whose de partment they properly belong, and they will" be read and answered, so the whole audience will get the benefit. The hours for holding institutes proper is from 10:00 a. m., sharp to 12:00 m., and from 2:00 p. in., sharp to 4:00 p. nr. ^^Every hour will be rich :^.^^iSk *&^&*3l^ in instruction. and should not be missed. .j' There will bo no' fixed programme, but the Work will be confined largely to the wants of the locality conse-' quently the importance of being there continuously. No fees or charges of any sort are exacted. It is absolutely free to all who attend. Keith Won. In the case of Mille Lacs Lumber company vs. Keith tried here at: the April 1899 term of the district etiurt resulting in the dismissal of the action by Judge Searle at the close of the plaintiff's case, a motion for a new trial was denied by the court and the plaintiff appealed. The supreme court on Dec. 15 files the following opinion sustaining the ruling of Judge Searle: "The Mille Lacs Lumber company, appellant, vs. Charles Keith et al., respondent. While K. was in the'plaintiff's em ploy in the year 1884, he examined the titles to lands in a certain county which* plaintiff corporation then claimed to own.' He then wrote a let ter to in which he reported the title of the plaintiff perfect to a certain tract. He had no abstract of title when making, his examination and relied upon the grantor and grantee reception books kept by the register of deeds, as by law required. The con veyances on record noted and entered In these books showed plaintiff's title to the land to be perfect, but as a mat ter of fact there had been recorded, but not noted or entered in either of these reception books, a deed of con veyance to one D., which rendered plaintiff's title or claim of title of no value. K. did not discover this and no claim is made that he was negligent in not discovering the record of such a deed. Nor is it contended that he did not act in perfect good faith when searching.the records and when writ ing the letter. Eleven years after leaving plaintiff's employ K., in good faith, bought the land, with several other tracts, from one S., who was supposed to .be the grantee of D.,and obtained a convey ance from him. In an action brought by plaintiff against K. and also against other persons to whom he had con veyed, it is held that K. cannot be ad judged to have been a trustee of the land for the plaintiff on the ground of the former relations existing between them. Order affirmed. Collins. J. Look Out For Trouble. Dairy Inspector Chad bourne has been warning the merchants this week of the near approach of the time when the new baking powder law goes into A law was passed by the last legislature requiring each can of pow der to bear a label showing just what ingrediemts are contained in the com pound and providing for the prosecu tion of dealers who attempt to sell pow der without such labels. This law will be put in force Jan. 1, and the food and dairy department propose to rigidly enforce its provisions. All the mer chants in the State have had notice and if they have not already complied with the law they should do so at once. It is understood that two firms will fight the law and through chem many merchants may get into trouble. The fine is fixed at not less than $25 aqd imprisonment, is also provided for. One of Pope's Good Things. Indian Commissioner Jones is pre paring a bill which will be presented to congress for authority to pay theone Mille Lacs Indians the money ex pended by them in the improvements of the reservation. If this money is paid over to the Indians they have agreed to abandon the reservation to the government. The Indians will accept allotments on the White Earth reservation or take up other public land.Minneapolis Times. "The money expended by the Indi? ans in improvements of. the reserva tion" is a huge joke but the scheme will undoubtedly be pushed through and Mora will have still another cele bration while the money lasts. Smallpox in Oxford. Two cases of smallpox are reported in the. town of Oxford, Isanti county, and it is understood every precaution is being used to confine the contagion to the people now sick. Throughout southern Minnesota the disease is quite prevalent, and in some sections a strict quarantine is being enforced against the towns themselves. There are also a number of cases in the Twin cities, but little is being said about them.North Brandt Revieie. -ft Fire Department Reorganized.

[tfrom Bishop Whipple's,"Lights and Shadows ofoXongEpiscopate.*M .7.. The legislature had demanded theSfe removal of all Indians from Minnesota^ and the authorities at Washington had prepared a treaty by which the Chip pewas were to relinquish their lands and remove to a country north of Leech lake, and a special agent was sent to negotiate the treaty. The man was without the slightest knowledge of Indian character. He came to see me and bagged me to help him make the treaty. After examining the pa per I said: "The Indians will not sign this treaty: they aro not fools. This is the poorest strip of land in Minnesota, and is unfit for cultivation. We propose to tafce their arable land, their best hunting ground, their rice fields and their fisheries and give them a country where they cannot live without the support of the government." The agent was angry and replied: "If you will not help me, I will ne gotiate it without your help."' "You can try iji," I replied, "but you will certainly fail.'" He called all the Indians together at Crow Wing, and made this speech to them: "My friends, your Great Father has heard how very much you have been wronged, and he determined to send an honest man to treat with you. He looked in the north, the south, the east, and the west, and when he saw me he said: 'There is an honest man. I will send him to my red children.' My red brothers, the winds of fifty-five winters have blown over my head and have silvered it with gray. In all that time I have never done wrong to a sin gle human being. As the representa tive of the Great Father and as your friend, I advise you to sign this treaty at ouce."' As quickly as a liash of lightning, old Sha-bosb^kniigv-the liead chief of the Mille Lacs band, sprang to his feet, and said: "My father, look at me. The winds of fifty-five winters have blown over my head and have silvered it with gray. Butthey haven't blown my brains away."' He sat down, and all the Indians shouted, "Ho! Ho! Ho!" That ended the council. Lost Their Creamery. The new co-operative creamery which was being constructed near Longs Siding was destroyed by fire last Monday morning and the circum stances give grounds for the belief that it was the work of an incendiary. The contractors had not quite completed their work, but a large part of the machinery was in the building and nothing was saved. The contractors were protected against loss by a blanket policy, however, and will im mediately begin the work of rebuild ing". The UNION is informed that peace and harmony do not prevail to any great extent in the neighboi'hood and of the principle causes of the trouble is a division of sentiment in this creamery matter. The matter will be investigated by the insurance company affected and if any evidence can be secured, someone will be made to suffer for Monday morning's fun. J. Adam Bede sometimes says things about himself which he would con sider libelous if uttered by a contem porary. Here is one of them: "We join heartily with our 300 personal friends in the Minnesota penitentiary in regretting the resignation of War den Wojfer, and they in turn will join with us in making Gen. Reeve feel like of the family. We hope none of the boys will disturb him by coming in late of nights. Gen. Reeve is a disciplin arian, and the boys will be expected to wear their uniforms. As a parting word, be careful of your diet or you may break out.*r The annual sale and supper given by the Dorcas ladies society last Friday afternoon and evening was-a success. The ladies cleared in the neighbor hood of $145, and nearly everything offered for sale was disposed i before the evening was over. In many cases orders for duplicates were taken. When we receive ihe Ahoka Heraiil this week we will be disappointed if we do not find it set in type as large as pica boldface.
