Hints to Flax-GrOwers.

The Minnesota Llnseed Oil Com
pany has issued the following let
ter Of advice to its patrons re-
specting the cutting and curing of
flax:
AS the season for cutting fax ap-
proaclies, we wish to give our
friends word Of advice and eau
tion as to harvesting and securing
their crop.
First, cutting When most of the
bolls and lower parts Of the stalks
have turned yellow, and the seeds
have turned slightly brown, and
the lower leaves have dropped off,
it is time to harvest. At this state
it will cut as easily as wheat. Be
careful not to cut before ripe. Un.
ripe seed cannot be properly filled
out and must fall short in weight.
Use smooth knife in your reap.
er. Cut high or low enough to get
all the bolls.
Second, shocking-Set it up as
soon as cut, in gavels. 1t may be
AoluACu Viz Sdulc DIS DdIlcS VI UuCh-
wheat; but better still, bind with
self binder and shock the same
as wheat. This kind of treatment
makes threshing easy and pays
well.
Third, stacking-Flax cures very
fast, and in good drying weather
may be stacked the day after cut
ting. Don't wait a dav after it is
ready, for a threshing machine or
anything else, but stack, stack, if
you want to save your crop. Build
a good, solid stack, always keep
full in the center, heads in and
butts ont-and top out with prairie
hay. Stacks must not be disturbed
for two or three weeks or more,
until the flax is through the "sweat"
which leaves the seed heavier and
better.
Fourth, threshing-The Vibrator
and Minnesota Chief are considered
the best flax threshers: but good
work is also done with Case and
other makes, with fax attach
ments.

English Crops and Markets.

The Mark Lane Express Of Aug.
l says: The temperature Of the
past week has been on an average
of 800 lower than during the late
spell of heat. There has been gen.
e. al rains and local thunder storms,
but wheat was not thick enough to
take serious damage, the nights
have been cold in England and Sc
we're night frosts i'll Scotland will
retard the harvest there. Mildew
is reported in wheat in various
parts of England. The decline in
temperature will not be Of any ad-
vantage to wheat. except in north.
ern England. The barley crop
will be very good in some localities,
bnt the remainder of it is of irreg-
ular growth and ripened premature
ly. Oats are good in Ireland and
parts of Scotland, but variable
and generally indiffcrentin England
The grain trade is unchanged.
Sales were made with greater diff
Guilty than last week, but where
they were made prices were main
tanned, although on the spot the
the prices of foreign were nominal
ly unchanged and it was difficult to
make sales without some conces-
sions. Business was very restrict
ed, but the supply was not exccs
sive. The belief growing that til
European harvest will not equal
the estimates makes holders di~in-
clined to force sales. The forward
trade was completely suspended,
owing to the different ideas Of buy
ers and sellers. The off-coast mar
ket was fairly supplied, but only
about dozen out of twenty-five
car loads were sold during the week.
Buyers have done nothing since
Wednesday. The quantity OF
wheat -four in passage to the
United Kingdom shows reduction
$4,000 quarters from that Of the
DreViOns week.

Companion Of Hiwatha.

The spectacle of Sitting Bull re-
turned to his people at Standing
Rock is a theme which ought to in
spire latter.day companion piece
to Hiwatha..'' It would be the
story of an Indians cunning brain
and stole heart, daring to do most
awful shedding of blood, and yet
powerless in the long sweep of years
to Withstand the might and skill of
the white man in his plan to take
all this continent for his own.
The skepticism that has deprecated
Longfellow's picture of the Ameri-
can Indian would be disabused in
some respects by the story of Sit
ting Bulls life and the portrayal
Of his character. Taken all in all he
is about as good a specimen of hu-
man nature as any of the best of
white men would perhaps have been,
had their environment been that of
the Indian chief.

Many a "prover.up" was disap-
pointed last week in completing
that little job that makes him a

A new ruling Of the Honorable
Commissioner of the general land
Office requires now that all proofs
shall be transmitted by the clerk of
the Court before whom the testimo-
ny is taken, in sealed envelopes,
and the price of the land in cur
rency or certificates Of deposit to
accompany the same. Twenty
cases from Ransom county and
some dozen or more from Trail
were suspended and returned to
be forwarded through the proper

DO Your Duty and Patronize Your Home
PaDer,


The American Newspaper Re-
porter gives the following sound
advice: "We have piece of ad-
vice which we wish to impress firmly
and indelibly upon the public mind,
and that is, to give the printers
fair play. DO not forget that it
costs something to puff as well as
to advertise; never sponge on a
printer in any way whatever. 1t
is the printers ink that makes
nine -tenths of our fortunes; it
takes money to buy INK, type and
paper, and yet, after all this, few
are the thanks that the printer gets.
Give the printer fair play, and give
up all hopes Of graiuitous putting.
Daniel Webster was mighty near
right when he remarked of the
press, small is the sum required to
patronize a newspaper; amply re-
warded are it's patrons. l care not
how humble and unpretending the
gazrtte which he takes, it is next
to impossible to fill it out without
putting into it something that is
worth the subscription price. 30
And bear in mind when you are
paying for it, that you have had
value received. Do not think you
are only giving aims. 1t is right
for subscribers to think that they
are supporting good public insti-
tuition when paying for newspa
per, but they have no right to think
that they are maintaining public
beggar.
The Yankton Herald in a recent
editorial predicted that the Dakota
wheat corp would not yield an av-
erage this year. This view was
doubtless based upon observations
among the few inferior patches OF
inferior wheat grown for home con.
sumption in and about Yankton.
Every body knows by this time that
when Dakota wheat is mentioned,
North Dakota wheat is meant. A
Southern Dakota paper is about as
competent to Judge Of wheat in the
Dakota wheat country, as the Argus
would be to discuss the Java coffee
crop from a point of personal in.

is only about as numerous as snakes

CANDLE POWER AND THE ELECTRIC
LIGHT. Some wild statements, involving
wonderfully divergent estimates, have been
made about the lght-giving power of the
different lights. A standard sperm candle,
although it may be good unit to measure
gas by, is poor standard for the electric
light. None OF the various modes of
measurement in use seem to apply exactly
to this light, and the standard Of measure
ment of the future has yet to be found.
MUCK is said about the subdivision of the
electic light by certain gentlemen, who
hope to distribute it throughout our houses
from one central spot, and furnish it
cheapiy and abundantly in our cities.
am one of those who do not believe in the
impossible, but say that, with our present
knowledge, this problem is unsolvable
Sir William Armstrong can only keep
thirty-seven lamps going Lane-Fox could
only show twelve lights; Professor Adams
could only produce from the most powerful
dynamo. electric machine, by calculation,
one hundred and forty lamps. Where is
the subdivision? =? The advocates of subdi-
vision assume an inexhsustible source of
electricity. Their opponents reply that
there is bat very limited source of energy
in every dynamo-electric machine. Itmsy
be that more powerful machines and lamps
of lower resistance may enable US to light
up a greater number on one circnit, but
this is not subdivision, it is multiplication.

TIE LOOM OF L1rE.

All day, all night. can hear the jar
OF the loom OF life, and near and far
1t thrills with its deep and mufied sound,
AS the tireless wheels go always round.
Busily, oeaselessly, goes the loom,
In the light OF day and mdnight's gloom,
The wheels are turning early and late,
And the loom is wound IN the warp of fate.
Click click there's thread of love wove in,
Click click another Of wrong aud sin;
What eheckered thing will this life be
When we see it unrolled into eternity
Time, with face like mystery,
And hands as busy as hands can be,
Sits at the loom with its warp outspread,
To catch in its meshes each glancing thread.
When shall this wonderful web be done.
In thousand years, perhaps, or one;
Or tomorrow. Who knoweth? Not you or !,
But the wheels turn ON and the shuttles fly.
All, sad-eyed weaver, the years are slow
But each one is nearer the end, know;
And some day the last thread will be woven in,
God grant it be love instead OF sin.
Are we spinners of wool for this life-weo, sayl
Do we furnish the weaver thread each day.
1t were better by far my friend, to spin
beautiful thread than a thread OF SIN.
