PHIISUIP WLHUUT

28th,
1869.
MISSUS. EDITORS:—Havinggiven
in
a former article a brief history of
some of Frankford's best business firms
etc., the paramount object of this ar
ticle will be to give a short history of
the surrounding country, railroad pros
pects, and other matters which may be
of interest to your numerous readers.
Much of the surrounding ctunfry is
comparatively new,- but its adaptation
(o agricultural pursuits is resulting in.
a constant increase of its population and'
a rapid developmeiut of its hidden re
sources. The portion of country con
tiguous to Frankford, which is most
densely populated and the development
of which is the fartherest advanced is
that directly west, where for many miles
extends an unbroken chain, of highly
cultivated farms. On the east of the
village, a belt of timber skirts the
place, and stretches far away to the
distance of several miles, and sufficient
te famish the inhabitants with fuel nnd
fencing for all time to come, if judi
oionsly managed, and due care is taken
in its preservation. On the south the
country is one of the richest prai
ries in the West, and one almost bound
less in extent, much of which is yet in
an uncultivated state, but the attention
of agriculturalisis being turned to its
broad and productive acres, and ex
tensive improvements are being inau
gurated, which will ere'long cause it to
blossom like the rose, and break the
dull monotony which has for along time
prevailed. No section of the Great
West offers any greater inducements to
.the tiller of the soil than this bound
less scope of fertile prairie. Streams
of water course their way in all direc
tions through its vaet extent, and every
requisite for obtaining wealth and for
establishing homes of comfort and lux
ury has been bountifully supplied by
nature, and only needs the application
of human enterprise and industry to
make this, one of the xaost pros
perous and beautiful portions of the
West. Men of means, energy and en
terprise are busy in the development of
this beautiful and fertile region new
farms are being opened up, new build
ings are everywhere springing into ex
istiMifn, and ft
In
1J»-
ing presented to that of the condition
of this locality, but one short year ago.
Fields ranging from forty to eight hun
dred end eighty acres, filled with crops
that are looking finely^ and promise an
abundant harvest, adds to the beauty of
the country, and shows to tho traveler
who may chance to cross over this
prairie, bespangled with beautiful flow
ers and covered with verdue that
energy and enterprise is the ruling pas
sion of the people," Highways or
namented with the willow, the cotton
wood and the peplar have been estab
lished for the public good, where
they will best accommodate those
who from all tho various motives
of business convenience or pleasure,
may desire to use them and at the same
time render the country through which
they pass attractive and valuable to the
inhabitants. Hitherto the lack of rail
roads and good markets in this portion
of the country which have rendered
other portions prosperous has had a ten
dency to retard its settlement and pre
vent the development of its resources,
but at the present time our citizens
have every reason to rejoice in the
brightnea of their future prospects as
there haa been a 'preliminary survey of
the Southern Minnesof^Lliailroad made
through they
plP-
'encourage-
i.
:l
ment held out to tho citizens, by ono of
the managers of tne road that Frank*
ford is to besomo a stopping point, and
a market for the crop of 1870, which
gives a new impetus to every branch of
industry, and the time when tho road
shall bo completed to this place and tho
shrill whistle of the ponderous engine
is heard in our midst is looked for with
no little anxiety.
Recognizing the fact that an inde
pendent county paper that is nentral in
nothing that effects tho interests of the
county, and is free from partisan drill
andkcrccd is as essential to our prosper
ity as tho railroad, our citizens support
the
MOWER COUNTY TRANSCRIPT,
a
paper that owes no alliegance to clicks
or clana, and nover pipes the key notes
for some leading demagogue, but always
chronicles the important ovents trans
piring in the county which makes it a
Jive paper, and a welcome visitor at ev
ery household to which it finds its way.
As i\}t«lligduea and progress enhances
the Wealth and increaseI~t!lis~hSppih*ess
of a people, the improvement oi the
mind and the morals is not neglected by
it, but eVery effort made to advance the
social and moral condition of society by

Haying and Harvest.—It requires a
good general to manage the cutting and
curing of a large grass crop, and the
harvesting of several fields of graiu of
different kinds, avoiding injury from
rains and thunder Bhowcrs, if they pre
vail, unless a large gang of hands and
teams stand ready all the time to do
whatever is most needed. Good plans
are worth much, and should be made,
knowing. the order in which different
fields of grass and grain will be fit to
cut, where the products of each is to be
stored, permanently or temporarily the
use to which the hay, grain, or straw is
to be put, and the amount of work that
can be done each week.
Taralps ud Raia-bagas
There is hardly any soil upon which,
with proper management, turnips may
not be raised, and there is no more
jaying crop—considering the little
abor required, the very short time it
occupies tho land, and its importance
as au article of forago for all 'sorts of
stock. Wd Cultivate two different
plants under the name of turnip, and
each hax an indefinite, plants under the
name of turnip, and each has an indefi
nite, we might almost say infinite, num
ber of varieties. We distinguish them
as cojimoii or English, or soft turnips,
and as Swedes, Kuta-bagas, Russian,
French, etc. Those of one kind
S«
rapa,
Brassi•
are distinguished by ronghish,
light green leaves, while the varieties of
the othor,Virasst'ea
napus.
have smooth,
glossy leaves, usually of & greenish blue
color. The culture required by the two
kinds varies considerably, as the Swedes
are longer in maturing, and to attain the
full growth require
a month or six weeks
more time than common turnips. It is
customary, therefore, to sow them about
die mltidie oi uune, tnougu they would
probably do equally well sown earlier
while were we to sow common turnips
too early, they would grow hollow and
pithy, crack, and fill with water, and,
in all probability, rot before harvest.
It usually does very well to sow Ruta
bagas quite early in July in fact, to ob
tain the tenderest and best-flavored roots
for the table, they are best sown some
time.in July, on most soils. Common
turnips should be sown in this month,
and there fpeed not be any especial
hurry about getting the seed in before
the lastof the month. It is well, there
fore to take time to get the land in good
order, perhaps to plow it twice, and at
any rate, to go ovea it well with culti
vators, clod-crushers, or harrows, to kill
weeds^ and mellow it well before the
seed is sown. Common turnips are
usually sown broad-cast, but we aro sat
isfied it pays abundantly to drill them,
placing the rows fully 18 to 20 inches
apart. If there is much organic or an
imal manure in the soil, the plants will
make leaf at the expenso of tho roots
hence, except on very poor soils, barn
yard manure should seldom be cuiyloy
ed. A single barrel of fine bone-dust
or of a good superphosphate, applied
with the seed in the drill, .is by far the
best application. Swedish turnips are
sown in the same way, but they will
bear a much stronger soil and more
manure. In fact, excelent, well favojed
Ruta-bagas may be. grown upon land
which is so rich tnat conmon turnips
would be woody, strong, and unfit for
table use, or for profitable feeding.
In regard to varieties: The bellow
Purpletop Swcdo is, perhaps, best for
culturo. Skirving's Purple-top having
also yellow flosli, is superior lor rather
light soils. The Sweet Gorman and
White French aro highly esteemed for
the table. Among the almost endless
varieties of tho common turnip, after
trying many kinds, we fall back upon
tho Cow-horn and Purple-top Strap-leaf
for general crop. The White Globe,
Golden-ball, and soveral of the fancy
varieties, aro very good, but we prefer
the old stand-bys, if pure teed can be
obtained.

Who is Interested in Public Schools?
Every parent in the State. Those
who have not the means of affording
their children as good an education as
they would bestow, and as the age de
mands, arc of course deeply interested
in the success and 'welfare of the
schools let them be well sustained, and
their children are placed on a par, in
respect to education, with the children
of those the most highly favored of for
tune.
Those who are able to educate their
own children have nearly an equal in
terest in them, since they can furnish
an education as good as that afforded
by the best private schools, at Jar less
expense.
Every tax-payer-r-it is his interest,
that the monies he contributes for their
support, be expended in preparing the
yjuth to become intelligent, orderly and
industrious citizens, in training them
to correct habits and good morals and
that thus his money should be converted
into intelligence and virtue, in the
minds of those in whose society he and
his children must expect to live.
Every man who owns a dollar's worth
of property, whether it be taxed or not,
let the'education of his children be neg
lected, and he will very soon be sur
rounded with a generation of idlers,
thieves and gamblers,
W'IO
upon his property, and that of every
other honest, industrious and frugal
citizen.
"What was real estate worth in Sod
om?" What is the value of any kind
of property in a neighborhood where not
a stick of wood or a bushel of coal is
safe, unless secured by bolts and bars,
or guarded by watch-dogs, or an armed
police
And what security wouldJthere !be for
our homes in tho vicinity of those who
would set fire to our barns or dwellings,
for the oportunity of stealing what our
vigilance would otherwise protect
from their grasp It certainly need
not be proved that every patriot, every
philanthropist,-every one who values
property, reputation or life, has a deep
interest in the support of an efficient
system of Public Schools.
Without such a system multitudes of
youth will grow up in ignorance, attain
the age of majority and.become ve-ted
with the rights, while utterly inca
pable of properly performing the duties
of citizens.
Let every true American, then feel
it to be his duty and his privilege, to
give his influence and his suffrage to a
good system of public Schools as the
best interests of eur State imperatively
demand.
Report Seliool Progress.
The following from the pen of Harry
L. Gunn is a good report to make of the
progress of a school, *nd shows that he
is a live teacher. Ho is interested in
his scholars, and desires their fastest
progress, and he is not disappointed.
They are orderly, studious and are ma
king rapid improvement in their studies
and will long remember him as one of
their best friends and instructors. We
hope to have other reports presented
that will show that there is more than
one prosperous school in the county.
EDITORS TEACHER'S COLUMN:
In a late number of the TRANS
CRIPT,
I saw a request for teachers to
send in a report of their schools, and
a3 I am a teacher, I thought I would
send you a report of my school.
I amTSa'ehingffirjoint school district
No. 30, where we have a commodious
brick school house pleasantly situated.—
I commenced teaching on the tenth day
of May, with fourteen scholars, but
the roll now numbers twenty-eight,
just twice as many as I commenecd
with. I have five classes that study
Reading, three Spelling, one Grammar,
one Primmer, three Primary Arithme
tic, two Intellectual Arithmetic, two
Practical Arithmetic, and four Geog
raphy, and by having some of the reci
tations come twice a day, I .can keep
myself busy enough. The scholars are
all young, but they havo dano pretty
well, tho highest class in Arithmetic
has gone as far as Decimals, and the
rest have done proportionally well.
This is my first attempt at. teaching
school, but I can say that I have suc
ceeded much better than I expected.—
The scholars all seem to be interested
in their studies and go at them with "a
zeal which indicates that tliey intend to
accomplish something. The teacher ie
also interested in the scholars and the
school hours pass on smoothly, and
swiftly. There has been no trouble so
far between scholars and teacher, and
there is not likely to be.
I would like to hear a report from all
the teachers of the county.
