ABOUT two wears ago the Minnesota
Bureau of Statistics announced, in its
annual report, that "A new industry
has been born" The meeting of Min
nesota Amber Cane Growers, recently
held at Minneapolis, shows shat north
ern sorghum culture, the new born
industry, has already achieved aston
ishing growth. In the year 1875
there were ,534 acres of cane in Min
nesota, producing 70,479 gallons of
syrup; in 1877 there were 1886 acres
and y. .4S9 gallons; in 1877, 1920
acres and l40,l5 gallons; 1878, s.
20T acres and 429, $50 gallons in 1879,
1924 acres, with the number of gallons
not vet returned, bnt probably 10000
Mr.. Seth II. Kenney, pioneer in the
amber cane industry, whose results
attracted little general attention until
1876, has taken six pounds of sugar
from each gallon of syrup-he drained
200 gallons per day, yielding sugar
worth S96, and l16 gallons yielding
sugar worth about S34-total, $3.50.
Still, this sugar is not quite palatable,
and the refining process must be car
ried further. In the United States,
every year, from l,5OO, 1000 900 to L.
100000 600 pounds of sugar are used;
for this from 100000 to S115,-
600, 900 are paid. Thus the project to
raise sugar in the Northwest has a
national Importance. One farmer
wrote TO the Minneapolis Convention
that it cost him 50 to produce an
acre of wheat, Sal, ,55 for an acre of
sorghum, SS.05 for an acre of corn.
But he expected to sell an acre of
wheat for SIS, an acre of sorghum for
SIS, an acre of corn for $40 If the
refining of the amber cane sugar can
be carried on until it is as palatable
and commercially valuable as the
foreign. the prediction that Minnesota's
sugar production will one day equal
in value that of its wheat may be full
filed

Now SAVE THE RAGs.-The most
noticeable, perhaps, of all the advances
during the late "boom" has been in
the price Of rags, which have more than
doubled in value, and are now worth
three cents and half per pound AT
this price, and even much less, il will
pay to save them and sell them. The
same is true of old paper of nearly
every kind, rs by cleansing they are re-
converted into white paper by the man
ufacturers.
In consequence of the scarcity of
rags and old paper, the price of print"
or paper for news purposes, has gone
up from six and half to ten cents
wholesale. If this price keeps up there
will be a general rise in the subscrip-
tion price, as has already occurred.
Almost any family can make enough
in u year by selling rags and old paper
to pay for all their reading matter

Miss MEEKER's remarkable literary

Miss MEEKER's remarkable literary
production about "How the Utes Live"
is having tremendous run in the
newspapers. Nearly every one of them
has published it-some of them three
or four times over. The next thing we
know some fellow will dramitize it. and
then we shall have it going the rounds
again. If Miss Meeker had as many
dollars as that article of hers has been
printed times she would be rich Her
contribution to the stock of human
knowledge begins by telling the world
that "the Utes live principally on bread
and meat When they can't get bread
they live on meat, and when they can't
get meat they live on bread" These
are surely striking facts-if they are
facts, which there is little reason to
doubt Miss Meeker omits to tell us
what these wonderful Indians live on
when they can get neither meat nor
bread An Irishman would resort to
potatoes under such circumstances, and
so would most people--that is, if they
had the potatoes to resort to. Miss
Meeker's description of the aboriginal
bill of fare will remind some readers of
the ancient dame of whom Mother
Goose melodiously says:
There was old woman. and what do you think?
She lived upon nothing but yictuals and drink
Victuals and drink were the chief Of her diet.
And yet this old woman scarce ever was quiet.

CATTLE diseases, hard for farmers

colleges that teach the arts of prevent

Paige of Hardwick, in Massachusetts,,

him an Ayrshire heifer full of tuber-
cuIosis, whose milk harmed his chill
dren. and perhaps helped him to a
stroke of paralysis which be suffered
soon after. DR.. Cressey, once n pro-

Wootlcock ShoOtIng-HabttS of the Birds. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 In the PaIEadiun of Saturday morning at- tention is called to the law which prevents the shooting of woodcock during September. The law is criticised as being unjust for the reason that ''woodcock migrate during Sep tember, and the law is simply made in the interest of New York sportsmen who wish to passed across into New York, thereby giving greater abundance of birds in that State. ' The Palladium mans premises are all wrong and consequently his deductions are wrong Woodcock do not migrate in September but are moulting then, and are scattered all over the country in tout of the way places" where they are not liable to be disturbed. They are occasionally found singly in the corn patch or among scrub oaks, but 1n such indefinite localities that few sportsmen would think of hunting for them if it were lawful to do so. The law was really made to prohibit the shooting of woodcock in July before the young ones are fully fiedged. Then to allow sportsmen to shoot them during the two months following would give the pot hunters an opportunity to go about among the young hocks of quail and partridges without being questioned as to the game they were after.
 Woodcock have all completed their moult- ing by the second week in October. They are then back on their feeding grounds, and birds from farther north have joined them. From the middle of October until the middle of November the finest woodcock shooting is to be had in this State, and last year bags of from twenty to fifty of these birds to two guns in days shooting were not rare, near Iy two months after the previously mentioned authority says that they have migrated.

NOT FOR THE WHOLE WORLD.

The one thing which the voters of this part of the country cannot afford to do is to give aid and comfort to party that intends to establish "a tariff for revenue only'' when it gets the power. Such tariff means the abandonment of the present protective sys- tenn and the substitution of schedule of duties that will encourage large importations. tariff for revenue only will ruin thousands of prosperous manufacturing enterprises, will destroy millions of capital invested in furnaces, factories, shops and mines, and will turn hundreds of thousands of work men out of employment.
 Our experience with protection has not been such as to encourage the free-traders. For years we have maintained protective system of the most rigid kind, and what is the result2 According to the teachings of the free-traders we ought by this time to have been reduced to the verge of ruin. h. stead of that, we are enjoying such prosperity as the country never knew before. The cry has always been that we could not sell our products abroad unless we threw our markets freely open to the world. But here we are exporting to the extent of hundreds of mil
 
 largely in our favor. Facts are stubborn things, and the free traders are opposed by facts at every turn. Their teachings have all been discredited and their prophecies dis proved.
 It has been one of the most frequent and effective arguments that free trade secures the greatest good of the greatest number But, as the Philadelphia North a-Amaertcan says: t'We are not under any obligation to admit the truth of this proposition. In Eng land, where free trade has had full sweep, it has not been followed by any such result, as the unfortunate condition of the operative class will testify. But even granting that it may be so, and presuming that upon the strength of this argument we were to throw our ports freely open, what people would make up the greatest number who would hypothetically be benefited? The question answers itself. The poorly paid operatives of England and France would reap all the advantage. They would have more work to do, and their labor being in more demand they would be able to secure better wages. But by so much as they would be the gathers we should lose, for every addi- tional penny that found it's way into foreign pockets would be 50 much taken from the American working man and his employer"
 In the face of our very satisfactory expert ence with protection, and of the certainty that the establishment of 'ta tariff for reven- ue only' would benefit theFpeople of other nations at the expense of the people of the United States, we are asked to vote for the establishment of such tariff. It is prepos- terous General Garfield exposed in single sentence the absurdity of the request, when he said in his letter of acceptance, E'We leg islate for the people of the United States and not for the whole world.'' ''
