English wheat buyers and millers
| admit the superiority of American
wheat. One London writer quoted in
/ the Pioneer Press says:
l. American flour is made from
| wheat of greater strength than the
| average of wheat grown and received
| in England. The extensive scale OF
manufacture in the great American
mills, with its numerous economies,
is considerable advantage. 3: The
| machinery in the great American
| mills is far, superior to any but the
quite exceptionally good English ma
chinery. 4. So high a price [profit?J
is made on the superior grades of flour
in the home market that American
millers can afford to export lower
qualities at price that in itself is I'M
remunerative. 5. The superior
economy OF the flour transit &C com
pared with that of wheat. 6. Ameri-
can flour comes straight into compe-
ton with the town made flour of our
great cities and towns, there being
commonly only one commission
agent between the shipper and the
baker. 7. The superiority of Ameri-
can flour over English for immediate
use in consequence Of its being bout
two months old when it arrives,
whereas English flour is often sent to
the baker before it is cold.
All of this is true. 1t is also certain
that the best of all the various grades
of Amerinan wheat is produced in
Minnesota Dakota and Manitoba.
These fac is of themselves would nat"
urally, greatly stimulate the wheat
in dustry here, were it not for other
causes which have a greater and an
opposite effect. Under the present
iniquitous system of grading and
handling of wheat the profits of wheat
culture all go to Miller's Associations
wheat spectators, and railroad cor
porations, leaving the farmer who
does most of the work nothing but a |
bare living and in many cases a very
poor living at that. After struggling
along upon mortgaged farm, year af-
ter, year without making any progress
the wheat farmer naturally turns his
attention to other things which prom
Use to be more remunerative. This |
will explain why the wheat acreage is
to be greatly reduced during the COM
ing year.
Let the legislature in Minnesota and |
Dakota. make it possible for the farm
ers to loosen the grip of their corpor-
ate oppressors, let an open market be
established so that farmer will re-
ceive for his wheat at his home mar
ket what it is worth in the markets |
of the world, less the legitimate |
cost of transportation, and the farm
ers of this Northwest, having all the
cond itions of soil and climate in their
favor, will make this the greatest |
wheat field in the world. Before do
ing so, however, they wish it to be
reaso nably certain that they will re-
ceiye portion of the profits arising
from the labor. A little tafy, con-
corning the superiority of their wheat |
and the high grade of floug it will
make, distributed occasionally |
through such of the newspapers as
are controlled by monopoIies, will |
hardly be sufficient.

Live Stock. Notes.

We have seen farmers throw u iorK~
full of splendid hay into each fence
corner, and more on the top of the
manure pile, only to be half-trampled
under foot. The same men wonder
why their hay doesn't ego farther"
The furnlyart without II good feeding
rack, or racks lack an important con-
"enicncc. Remember, we can make
hay in winter as well rs in summer,
by saving it Always avoid abrupt
changes in feeding. One advantage
of good ensilage is, that it helps to
avoid sudden changes from pasture to
dry feed.-We do not believe in
blanketing horses in the stable. 1t is
advisable to throw on the blankets
when the team comes in warm after
drive, but only for an hour or two.
Have the stables warm enough to
keep the horses comfortable without
blankets; They will stand the cold
better when out of doOrs.-If eggs are
wanted in winter, select early Matched
pullets of laying breeds, and give
them warm quarters, clean perches,
sufficient water mot too coid) and q
feed in the morning of corn meal and
wheat middlings, wet up with milk.
Feed meat scraps daily, and keep
oyster shells broken fine, and plenty
of gravel within the reach of the fowls
At noon feed corn, buckwheat, ETC.,
scattered among chatf; clover hay,
or oats in the bundle, may be given
for the fowls to pick at.

| Joseph r. Warner, Il brakeman up
on the Manitoba road, lost the second
and third and portion of the small
finger upon his right hand, in making
q coupling last Saturday night in the
yard here. DR.. Hulburd dressed the
wounds and left the unfortunate
young man as comfortable as could be
expected under the circumstances.
The universally dull times in the
manufacturing districts will have q
tendency to encourage eastern capt.
alists to invest in the cheap lands of
the west that can not depreciate in
value while they will also serve to in
duce the unemployed mechanics of
the east to come west and turn their
attention toagricultural pursuits.

Albert Mills died very suddendly
last Thursday evening of epilepsy.
At supper time he was apparently in
good health and two hours later was
dead. His sudden death was a severe
shock to his relatives and many
friends, and casts gloom over the
whole community. His parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Mills, who have been for
some time living in Minneapolis, were
notified by telegraph and came to
Morris on Friday. The funeral Vas
on Sunday, at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. A. A. Stone, the services be-
ing conducted by Rev. X. F. Norris.
The TRIBUNE, were it possible, would
deem it a pleasant duty to gather and
in appropriate terms express, to father,
sister and to Miss Fredda E,
the young lady to whom he
was soon to be married, all of the
sympathy felt for them in this, their
time of bereavement.

OCCASIONALLY instances come to light

Try which would put to shame the heath
en- Of benighted lands where neither the
bible or God are known. A few days ago

is the cause Of these things and VII at the
remedy, question much easier asked
than answered. The penalty of the law

lcate the propensity to them. The latter
can only be accomplished through the
instrumentality Of the church, not one
sect but all the church societies having
in view the moral elevation Of the race,
which ls the very rock and foundation
upon which civilization rests. In this
the Catholic and protestant churches can

Everybody who desires to MAINTAIN and
