Farm @ ‘Creamery -The butter shipments from this city last Wednesday were as follows: Clarks Grove creamery, 71 tubs; Rive land, 44; Albert Lea, 41; Clover Valley, 28; Bancroft, 28, Total, 212. «What promised during the summer to become the largest and best crop of corn for years turns out to be the poor est. Not a third of the corn is first class and of good keeping quality. ‘Butter prices in New York have re mained steady at 26 cents per pound for over a week. Higher prices curtail the demand for butter, and it is better that the advance is slow than rapid. = ~Mrs. Herman Rafoth of Freeborn has lost nearly a hundred hogs, all ages as a result of cholera. She has only six hogs left in her herd. Cholera has been very destructive in that neighborhood this fall. The farmer who now owns a score or more of first class cows is the man who can laugh at the poor quality of wheat and utilize the soft corn to ex cellent advantage besides. On the 20th of each month he can smile compla cently at his big milk check. O.O.Styve has brought us four ears of corn,grown on his farm in Alvert township that are of enormous size and are by all odds the largest we have seen this year, and the corn is of very good quality, too. One ear is thirteen inches long, another twelve, and the other two eleven, one measuring about seven inches in circumference. E. F.Connor reports that the wheat on his home farm in Manchester, (the old J. F. Hall farm) yielded 23 bushels per acre this year and the oats 80 bush els, which are both the highest yields we have heard of this year. Johnson brothers, who operate the farm, are both excellent farmers and know how to get the best returns on a really good farm. GENEVA VILLAGE.
