Your Seed wheat.

In recent editorial the st. Paul
PiOReer-PreSs uttered some sugges-
tions upon the necessity and mode
Of improving the quantity and quail
ty of wheat in Minnesota that are
applicable to this region. How to
raise hard wheat where before none
but soft wheat would grow is accord
ing to our exchange, a problem
worth spending money on. 1t is of
more value to Minnesota and Dakota
than almost any other thing that can
be named. If our scientists and
richly endowed colleges Of agricul-
ture are able to solve it they will
have justified a good deal of expense
upon them. The product Of the lin
tied territory that, under unaided
natural conditions, can give us hard
wheat is too small. Already English
millers are canvassing a plan to COM
bine and send buyers to Manitoba to
buy hard wheat, which they find is
necessary to have in order to endure
the competition of American millers.
And this occurs after the most c; r.
full experiments have been madeiin
Great Britain to improve the vaTle-
ties of wheat raised there, and IN
crease their yield. Iu the current
number of the Popular Science Month";
iy review of what has been done in
this direction is given. The COnclu-
sion reached from a long series Of
trials with various seeds is that the
GiThnnlnEf - inn
is by keeping up the standard in any
variety by the selection Of the largest
and most perfect kernels, from
which, under separate culture and
the most favOring care, to grow
wheat for seed. In short the claim
made by the scientist is that the hap
hazard method Of taking seed wheat
out of the whole crop is disastrous
in the long run. Every poor kernel
reprOduces in kind, and the percent
age Of increase is beyond calculation.
To check this the cultivation Of seed
wheat should be with every farmer
a matter requiring special care. Seed
wheat should be grown separately,
and protected as far as possible from
any Circumstance likely to cause de-
NNA ~ SltAAN MAlAlg II - AOuAlu
true that the largest ear Of wheat
the finest kernels. These
in series Of years will, il grown.
and under the best Of care,
not only maintain their individual
size, but will increase the number of
kernels in the ear. These results of
skillful cultivation present a course
for Minnesota farmers directly OPP
pOsite to the customary one. 1t is a
thing that farmers have any
faith at all in the renewal of the
quality Of their products from time
to time. That they do, is encourage
ment for the hope that before many
years it will be as much the farmers
pride to raise his seed wheat under
and specially fayOring con-
ditiOns as it will to boast Of a large
yield. There seems to be very little
to learn about methods. They can
be gained by experience as easily as
any other way. The essential thing
is to make use Of that little that may
be learned. Should the farmers of
Minnesota attend diligently to the
matter of seed wheat culture, there
can be little doubt that the area of
the hard wheat crop would soon be
extended considerably from its pres
ent confines.

BAD MINNEAPOLITANS.

a Cooper Arrested for a Variety of Crimes
Caught Under Beds
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
MINNEAPOLIS. Dec. 7 "A year ago a man
came to Minneapolis and went into the
employ of the North Star Barrel company
as cooper, under the name of Gardener.
Since then he has worked at various things
and recently in the cooper shop on the
East side. Yesterday it was learned that
his real name is Jassamer, and that he is
wanted in DEBORAH, Ia, to answer to the
charges of arson, horse thIeving and Jail
breaking. Mayor Ames telegraphed Sheriff
Langdon Of DEBORAH TO ask about the mat
ter. The answer come back to hold Jassa-
mer, and the sheriff will arrive on Satur-
day with requisition. The arrest of the
man followed at once.
To GLOBE reporter he stoutly denied
all guilt and said the crimes alleged were
committed in September a year ago, and
that ne was then employed in @ cooper
shop in Grand Rapids Mich. He claims
that it will be an easy matter to establish
his innocence, yet his language is suspi-
cious.
Last evening as G. Gutter, residing at
the corner of Tenth avenue south and
Fourth street had just gone to bed, his
suspicious we're aroused by the sound of
some one breathing under his bed.A search
revealed Samuel Lewis or Martin seated
under the bed with revolver in hand. With
the aid of boa1der Mr.. Cutter pulled the
fellow out and arrested him. In his pocket
was found bottle of chloroform. He
was arraigned in the municipal court on
Monday charged with the larceny of
buffalo overcoat but was discharged.
Officer Leonard arrested a fellow last
night for stealing dress and pillow from
A. Jackson's house at 507 North Second
street.

SILENT BE, 'TWAS THE CAT.

The Travels of Trained FeIine-A Re-
markable Racket and How it is Worked
THAT" said Postmaster DR., Day to g
GLOBE reporter the other evening, pointing
to handsome snuff colored maltese cat
that was making itself at home around the
| Office, sis what the boys
call the mail bag feline, and
he had probably got the best record as a
traveller of any cat in the United States.',
He is beauty to look upon," remarked
the scribe, ''but don't exactly tumble to
your meaning on the record score"
"Of course you DON'T" rejoined the doc
tor, as he loaded his meerschaum, ssbut the
boys think the world of that cat. and |
will tell you something about his history.
In the first place he is a Republican
cat, or he wouldn't be loafing around the
postofice department SO much, but Won
could tell that by the lay of his fur. Wen,
he came to US in q mail bag the other dav
from Montana, and he has been heard OF
all along the line"
"Was he consigned to anybody?"
"Bless your soul, no; he just jumped
into an empty mail pouch and consigned
himself. You see he has mission, which
consists of Kidding The postoffioes of
rats and mice. Why, if it wasn't for Tom
my we would be eaten up with vermin.
The postofice is a great place to breed
rats and mice, there is SO much wedding
cake, you know, and other such stuff sent
through the mails that it attracts them.
We'll, Tommy saw that there was a fine
opening for an enterprising cat to do some
missionary work, and he rubbed up his fur
and sailed ini the result is that after
he got his paw in, so to speak.
he concluded to make business of it, and
he has gone ahead ever since. He travels
all over the country just in the way that he
reached st. Paul. Upon arriving at a new
Office he lnspects the quarters and maps
out his work, and it takes him
about three or four weeks generally to
clean out an Office. After he has killed off
or frightened away all the mice that infest
this office, he will jump into mail pouch
and settle down for his trip.
L actually believe that BY
some feline instinct he selects a pouch
that is billed for some good station. for he
always seems to hit upon the places where
his services are the most needed and in de-
mand." At this point of the story the
knowing feline shut one eye on the doctor
and the latter knocked the ashes out of his
pipe in manner that indicated to his cat
ship that there was to be no telling tales

CURRENT CORMENT.

Brain tensions, says the Lancet, is not proof
of strength, but of weakness. The knit brow
straining eyes, aud fixed attention of the schol-
ar are not tokens of power, but of effort. The
intellectual man with strong mind does his
brain work easily. Tension is friction, and
the moment the toll of growing brain becomes
laborious it should cease. We are unfortunate
~ so accustomed to see brain work done with
effort that we have come to associate effort with
work, and to regard tension as something toler-
able, if not natural. As matter of fact no one
should ever knit his brow as he thinks, or in any
way evince effort as he works The best brain
work is done easily, with calm spirit and equa-
bic temper, and in jaunty mood. All else is
the toll of a weak or ill-dsveloped brain strain
ing to accomplish task which is relatively too
great for it.

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-The trial of the prin-

fraught with much interest ever since its
exposure, was productive last night of a
still further bit of g sensationalism in an

been very damaging to the defense. He
was chief clerk or bookkeeper for the firm.
After being twice arrested and giving bail.
he was seized by two strangers near bis
home, hustled into carriage and driven
to Pinkerton's detective Office. His attor-
they finally prevented his being locked up
in private cell in the building, and he
subsequently, made his escape.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE REDUCED.
The ''GlObe'' Hereafter to be Fur
nished at Lower Rates and the Quail

lty rs wen as quantity ImpfOYeus
Readers of the GLOBE have been frankly
advised of the tendency among the leading
papers to reduce their rates to the public.
This course, for some time, has been
inevitable. The price of news
papers had not, until recently,
been reduced since the advance which
took place during the war. Nearly every
thing else has suffered decline, but news
papers have stood at one dollar per month,
the same as in 1865. There was some
reason for the retention of "war prices" as
labor has increased rather than
declined, and additional expenditures for
news have been enormous. 1t was on these
accounts, doubtless, that the decline has
been so long delayed.
The GLOBE has, however, decided to meet
the popular demand for cheaper news pa
pers, without impairing the quality of the
paper. In fact, it will be greatly in
proved in every respect, no labor or ex
pense being spared to make it still
more complete as news
paper than it has been. With the intro
duction of its new perfecting press the
GLOBE Will be increased in size to an ex-
tent equal to the addition of five of its
present columns. The plans for addi-
tional news service, which cannot be fully
daUnlnnaH until 4
press facilities are available, are simply
immense, far surprising anything
heretofore attempted in this locality.
All of this we hope to have
duly inaugurated early in January, when
our new thirty thousand dollar press, with
capacity of producing fifteen thousand
newspapers per hour, is set in operation.
To reduce the price of newspaper and
correspondingly cheaper the subject mat
ter it affords, would by no means be ap-
preciated, but when coupled with the re-
duction, improvement in every department
takes place, we feel sure the movement will
be welcomed
Inc publishers of the GLOBE have, &C.
cordingly decided, Notwithstanding the
increase in size and quality proposed, to
make the price of the paper, on and after
December 1, 1888. EIGHT DOLLARS
PER YEAR, for seven Issues per week
delivered by carriers, and SIX DOL
LARS PER YEAR for six issues per week,
(Sunday's issue omitted) sent by mail.
AS = first class newspaper is thus placed
within the reach of all, it is trusted that
the circulation of the GLOBE will only be
limited by the population within it's
geographical radius,
