MINNESOTA PAYs
We give this week the fourth of the
series Of articles on this subject. Our
object is to give facts, with names and
figures, 50 that croakers cannot gain
say what we publish and that any one
desiring to do so can verify for himself.
Theories and speculations are cheap,
and we want the actual experience and
the result from each successful farmer.
Please call in with or send us the facts.

q. 8. SENATOR.


Within the past few days the friends
Of Secretary Ramsey have come to the
front with the announcement that they
will urge his election to the U. 5. Sen
ate. This is not at all surprising. In
fact it is inevitable 80 long as Ramsey
remains the man he is. Our choice
would be Ex-Gov. e. X. Davis, whom
we regard AZ intellectually the ablest
man in Minnesota, if Senator Mcmillan
IL 70 be retired, but if the choice is to
fall upon any of the old wheel horses Of
the Republican party and Of the State,
it will gravitate to Ramsey under the
law Of "natural selection" and ''sur-
vival of the fittest.''

Considerable interest exists at pres
ent in respect to the automatic type
setting machines which are now being
tried in some Western offices for the
first time. These machines have
been used for some years in book
work in New York. They have been
tried repeatedly by newspapers, but
have never been found perfectly a.
dapted to their work.-Newspaper u
Mon.
So far they have not been success.
We spent some months in John F.
Trow's book office in New York where
there were five or six of these ma:
chimes. After giving them several
years trial MIR. Trow abandoned their
use. We doubt whether any machine
will ever be invented that will sue

brains of the compositor. hut we
doubt not some new method of print
ing will be invented which will super
cede the present one. So.

TIE SONGS OF SCOTLAND.

There is a very general impression, es-
pecially in England, that Burns created
Scotch song, and that all that is valuable
in it is his work. Instead of saying that
Burns created Scottish song it would be
more true to say Scottish song created
Burns, and that in him it eliminated.
He was born at a happy hour for a ma
tional songster, with a great background
of song centuries old behind him. and
breathing from his childhood a very at
mosphere of melody. From the earliest
times the Scotch have been a song loving
people, meaning by song both the tunes,
or airs and words. This is not the side
which the scotchman turns to the world,
when he goes abroad into it to push his
fortune. We all know the character
that passes current as that of the typical
Scot-sand haired, hard. featured, clan
nish to his Countrymen, shrewd, cautious,
sell, seeking, %self,reliant, persevering,
unsympathetiC to strangers, difficult to
drive a bargain with, impossible to cir
cumvent. The last thing a stranger
would credit him with would be the love
of song. Yet when that hard, calculating
trader has retired from the change or
the market place to his own Preside,
perhaps the things he loves best, almost
as much as his dividends, will be those
simple national melodies he has known
from his childhood. Till a very recent
time the whole air of Scotland, among
the country people, was redolent oil song.
You heard the milk maid singing some
old chant, as she MIXED the COWS in
field or byre; the housewife went about
her work or span at her wheel, with a
lit upon her lips. In the highland glen
you might hear some solitary reaper
singing like her who Wordsworth has
immortalized; in the lowland harvest
field, now one, now another of the reap
ers taking up an old-world melody, and
then the whole band breaking out into
some well.known chorus. The plowman,
too, in winter, as he turned over the lea
burrows, beguiled the time by humming
or whistling a tune; even the weaver, as
he Clashed his shuttle between the
threads, mellowed the harsh sound with
song. In former days song was the
great amusement of the peasantry, as
they of a winter night met for a hamlet
gathering by each others FIRE sides.
This was the usage in Scotland for cen.
and l am not sure that the radical
newspaper which has superseded it is an
