The Benson Times in its last issue
gives the following which we think
well worth repeating : Now that
harvest is at hand, and an abundant
crop is ready for the sickle, we feel
that a word of advice to many of the
farmers of this country will not be
misplaced. We know many of them
who after toiling the whole season and
raising fair crops, neglect to cut them
before being dead ripe, and conse-
quently large percentage is lost by
shelling. Or having cut their grain in
good season allow it to stand in the
shock until the fall rains have de-
stroyed OF greatly damaged it. Or,
having cut and stacked their crops in
due season and in good shape, fail to
protect their stacks until, too late,
they find their whole years hard earn
ings destroyed in few minutes by
the ravages of the prairie fire. These
are things which occur yearly, right
in our very midst and it is singular
that men will not learn from sad eX-
perience to avoid them. 1t is no more
work, nor so much, to cut and stack
ones grain in proper season, than after
it has been damaged by delay and
storms, and few furrows plowed
around the stacks will effectually pro-
tect them from fire. "a stitch in time
saves nine" is an old saying which
applies as well to farming as to any
other business.

Sun Spots And Cyclones.

Some sixty spots are now observable
on the SUMS disk. The largest of these
is chasm $4,000 miles deep in the
center. These spots are supposed to
be hollows In the glowing surface ofthe
solar luminary, and indicate places
where gasses from the interior, which
have been forced up by gigantic ex-
plosions and cooled in the higher
regions are again sucked down by
maelstrom into the body of the sun.
The spots are also believed to indicate
solar activity. Speaking of the possi-
BILE effect of the solar activity on the
the earth, Prof. Sharpless, of Har-
word college, says it is not unlikely
that there is much connection between
the sun and the earth. It is also pro-
bable that electricity has something
to do with these solar outbursts, and
electricity can traverse the space
which separates us from them as easily
as gravitation and heat and light do.
There can be but little doubt that solar
spots are coincident with terrestrial
auroras. The agreement, both in
general and in particular, is very close
and. too striking for accident. When
a large and active spot has reached
the point on the sun nearest us (the
middle of his disk there is almost al
ways an aurora. Again, there is a
coincidence which may be considered
to be proved between sun spots and
magnetic disturbances which interfere
with telegraphy. Thisalsois an agree.
ment which can hardly be doubted.
So that it may be taken as an observed,
but not an explained fact that the
earth does respond to solar disturb
ances, and that meteorological pre-
dietion- based on the condition of the
sun are not entirely worthless. AT
the same time the professor does not
regard the connection between cy-
clones and sun spots as authoritatively
established, and thinks prediction
of severe storms based upon the

THE FARMERS ARE AHEAD.

The Millers Association CT Minne-
apolis, committed very foolish blum
der in sending a delegation to Milwau-
kee for the purpose of having the rail-
roads to so lower their
freights, that they might control the
wheat market as of yore, and prevent
grain raised in the northwest from
passing to the east, by the way OF
Duluth; this the Millers Association
said must be done, or it would have to
close it's mills. The demand was
based upon the fact, that the Northern
Pacific and Manitoba roads, have been
showing favers to Duluth wheat buyers
and grain shipped through the Zenith
city, thereby sending the hard wheat
so much wanted by that Association
and which it would pay nothing for to
the east. AS a matter of course, the
road refused to obey the
command. The roads cannot COM
NIT such all act of brutal in
Justice, verging so near suicide,
neither can they do that thing with
out crippling the farmers who raise
the grain. The roads are depending
upon the farmers in raising crops to
support their business, and as the
farmer thrives so thrives the road,
and it is for the interest of the roads to
do as they are rightly charged with
doing to so arrange the freight rates
as to give competing buyers and COM
peting markets chance to the fullest
extent required by successful COM
merce. The eastern purchasers must,
and in the name of the people of
Minnesota shall have, favorable
opportunity with the Millers Associa-
ton to make bids on grain raised in
this state and woe to any rich cow
ardly, soulless corporation that dares
attempting to prevent it. The Mime
Ipolis Tribune naughty sneers at the
success of this movement which will
have tendency to raise the heavy
head of the farmer, and relieve the
pecuniary oppression of the county
merchants, but come it must, sneer or
no sneer, and Duluth shall become
competing wheat market. All should
give full credit to roads for their
generous action in this matter. We
first began the agitation of this
question showed how it is imperative
ly necessary for the prosperity of the
farmers of this great northwest that
Duluth be favored in as many ways
as possible, so as to be able to success
fully compete with Minneapolis and
break the unjust power of the Millers
Association. Now that the fight has
been carried on SO successfully that
the Millers are compelled to admit
they must obtain decided reductions
in freights or shut down their mills,
we feel that our labors IN behalf OF
the farmer are being richly rewarded.
The oppressive power of the Millers
Association is broken and the buyers
at Duluth will hereafter be able to
compete successfully with them.
Farmers are thus assured of an honest
price for grain.

apolis, and suggests that the trade
and commerce In the direction OF
Montana, and beyond ON that road be
looked after with keen eye. We
will say to the Dispatch, that the pur-
chase of those two tracts of land by
that road means business. 1t is mani
testify evident from the amount of
business transacted at those points, it
was not much In need of land to that
extent, and at the high price paid for
itbut we may say that it might be use
fnl when it reaches out down to Chi
cago, over either road of it's own, or
with running priviledges over another.
1t has had the subject under consider
alton for long time, and not until it
purchased in st. Paul did it feel
that it was forced upon them to
go southeast. 1t was thought
at first this might be saved by con-
tinuing OH and connecting with roads
east of Duluth through Ashland to
Sault st. Mary and on through Canada,
but this would not answer the pur-
pose :the road must and should extend
to the points from which the freights
and trade start that is Chicago to the
far west, and where it could be, to
have hand in fixing rates. When
this has been properly arranged there
will be no breaking or change of freight
between its starting, and the point of
in the west. Whether
this fulfilling of the NOrthern Pacific
destiny will help or injure st. Paul,
is question that road has never dis
cussed, but one would suppose it
would take away Il large amount of
wholesale trade and in the end be of
great use to Chicago

WHICH SHALL WIN!

1t seems queer, in spreading out our
state map before us, to find so many
lines of railroad running into, and out
of st. Paul and Minneapolis, and only
one of which goes direct from either
place to our only lake port. Even the
Northern Pacific road commences at
the junction some twenty miles away
from Duluth, and goes on its wind
ing way to the far west, being able to
reach the lake, only by passing over
another road. 1t would appear from
this, as if reaching the great consum-
ing market in the east, was a thing
dreaded, and to be avoided by the rail-
roads, and not at all popular with
either of the two great cities above
named. This unnatural and peculiar
course of expending so many millions
of capital, must surely have an i'm
portant object, and that object in part,
in commercial point of view, is like
that which causes q burnt child to
avoid the fire. in other words, rail-
roads do not care to come into active
competition with navigation; it would
be disastrous to their line of business.
The people are then to learn from all
this shrewd financiering that they are
paying high prices, for transportation,
when there is a much cheaper system
which might be adopted for their bene-
fit, but for the cunning scheme of
building rail roads in a contrary direc-
ton. st. Paul and Minneapolis, have
been largely engaged in this kind of
work with the roads, and have had
the further object, of having as many
of the roads tap their locations as pos
sible, that they might force all COM
merce, and travel coming into, and
going out of the state to stop, change
hands, and pay toll to them. This
has been very remunerative to these
two cities in the past, but has ever
been unacceptable to those i'll the in
terror, who have had this toll to pay.
By drawing air lines from many of
our leading state commercial points,
to Chicago, Milwaukee, st. Louis or
Buffalo, they do not pass through
either st. Paul or Minneapolis. This
leads to the firm belief that there will
be change in the future. This gross,
unjust system of tolling, may not ex-
ist forever. Some little mercy may
yet be show the producer, SO that he
may live hoping to be able by years of
honest toll, to having something to
leave behind him for posterity, beside
an everlasting mortgage to pay.
