The Missouri Pacific has undertaken
a noyel reform which, if successful,
will mark a new era in the temper
ance struggle. An order has been Is
sued that no employe shall drink in
%toxicating liquor on or off duty. This
rule will not reform those employees
who are habitual drinkers. in which
number are doubtless one-third of the
who lie force of the road. But it will
gradually effect their discharge and
the employment of sober men in their
places. For the road this policy is a
very taking advertisement. The pub
lie prefers, where life is risked. to be
in the hands of sober rather than pos
sibly drunken men. Other roads may
follow the example of the Missouri
Pacific if it is a success. In time i
may be that railroad men will be a

maintained between the farm and the

slsts in skilled labor and money and
not in the number of acres of land he

in the neighborhood of large cities
paws so much better than here on the
prairles of the West is not due so
much to the nearness Of the market,
though of course this Is one of The
reasons, as that the size of the farms

TO DAKOTA.

"Westward the star of empire takes
its way" The history of OUT country's
development furnishes no parallel to
the present rush of immigration to the
TERRITORY of Dakota. For three or
four years past that territory has been
the goal of large number OF emigrants,
but the tide has again set in this
spring stronger than ever before. One
fact in regard to this immigration to
Dakota is noteworthy. Immigrants
as a rule come, not from the more dis
tant states of New England and the
Atlantic sea-board, but from the neal
er states of Iowa, Illinois and Wiscon-
sin. Every train that goes west over
Iowa lines carries with it a company
of emigrants from some neighboslng
county, all bound with their families
for the promised lend flowing with
milk and honey just this side the
muddy waters of the Missouri. The
states of Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin
are giving up thousands of their best
families to swell the population OF the
rising state. But this enormous exc
dus details no permanent loss upon
the older states. 1t is not like 1t was
once when the pioneer settler becom'
ing disgusted had to pack his possess
ions into the old "prairie schooner"
set his sails to catch the breeze and
drift away to other localities, leaving
the place behind him as dessolate as
when he first built his rude log cabin.
Now. the majority of emigrants are
owners of good farms i'll the states
from which they come. And i'll leav-
ing they do not leave a void behind, as
their we'll titled farms remain, only in
other hands. The place OF the emf.
grant is soon filled by the immigration
from stats farther east. And thus 1T
ever continues. Steadily the star of
empire trayeles westward. The forests
of Ohio and Indiana which III the days
of our fathers were in 1.-THE west" are
now left far behind by the westward
march of progress. Not long ago all
beyond the Father of Waters was in
the "far west" To day there are states
west of the mighty river more power
full and more cultivated that any be-
tween New York and the Mississippi
a quarter Of a century ago: AT the
present rate of settlement Dakota will
in a few years be a p%opulous and pow
erful as the great states Of the Mississ
ippi valley. And Dakota is not TIN
only territory 'that is proiting from
this tide of emigration. Idaho. Mon
tana, Washington, all are receiving
their share Of immigration. And still
there is always room and ample op
portunity for the poor man of an
state to find in this growing countr
a home where. by industry, thrift an
economy he may be sure Of winnin
not only livelihood but a competence

Farming rs "a Business.

The idea which a great many men
have allowed themselves to believe,
that if they are not smart enough to
run a store OF carry on any kind OF
mechanical business, that they can
u a farm as we'll as anybody" is a
great mistake. Business farmers are
not TO be made of natures refuse after
the lawyers, doctors, merchants, min
listers and the like are picked out, for
it really requires more skill and judg-
ment to be a thrifty farmer than to be
an average merchant. True. a person
may obtain possession of a tract of
land and cultivate it for a few years
in such a way that he may receive i'm
mediate returns for the labor, but this
random style of farming is at best but
a speculative business and n that in
the end will leave the soil and the II
who tills 1t entirely bankrupt.
There are two dangers which our
people here on the extreme frontier
are liable to run into and against
which they should guard themselves.
The first is the danger of attempting
to cultivate too much ground, and the
second ignorance Of the business they
are about to undertake. Nature is so
generous on our Western prairies that
it requires but very little knowledge
of agriculture to produce a crop. But
this generosity would show itself ma.
nv times increased if they applied a
greater amount of knowledge and la
Dor to the same area of ground. A
great many persons are inclined to be
discouraged because they see theil
neighbors more successful in the cul.
tlvation of the soil than they them
selves are, not realizing that it is real
ly a difference in experience, knowl
edge and labor. They would not un.
dertake architecture, painting, law
medicine or any branch OF business
and expect success without a knowl
edge acquired by both study and ex
perience. Why, then, should they un
dertake a science which is connected
with all the mysteries of nature ant
expect any more reasonably to succeed
than in any other calling? Too oltel
we have seen farmers who have beel
to the necessary trouble. labor and ex
pense to raise a crop, throw it upoI
the market just at a time when tina
particular article was a drug. and b
so dong sacrifice not only the labo
and expense they lave been to in raj.
ing it but the margin that should hav
been profit. All such mistakes coul
be avoided by studying, first, how t
make the earth produce her most boun
tiful harvests with the least outlay O
time, labor and money. and then b
studying the wants of the differen
sections of the country the crop mos
likely to he valuable could be raise
