ture brought into necessity the use of
a word that would convey a more rigid
meaning than the word storm, and hence
the word "blizzard" We have severe
storms to which the title blizzard is app
propriate, but to say that they are more
frequent or severe thar in some other
states is unjust and undeserving. We
also have it extremely cold, but the
characteristic dryness of the atmosphere
robs it of its stinging, biting, piercing
tendencies, and it is not felt. Thirty
degrees below zero here is no colder
than frequently at zero or even few de-
grees above, when the atmosphere is
damp in Wisconsin for illustration. And
when cold it is still, with scarcely any
perceptible wind, which has the effect to
render the cold less perceptible. Thus [
engender in a truthinl mar ner the au-
tumns and winters of Minnesota, and
with equal veracity | propose to deal
next in turn with the subject Of soil.
The soil is a rich, black loan, varying
from eighteen inches to two feet at va
rious localities. Underlying this surface
soil of rich understandable alluvial accu-
mutations of ages is yellow sand loam
of about six inches in depth. Beneath
this is third strata OF rich, heavy mari
to the depth of about three feet, which
in turn rests on fourth strata of yellow
clay Of about ten feet in thickness. Under
this is blue clay. Thus the remarkable
manner in which the soil lies is readily
observed and its superior advantages
quickly appreciated. This layer of sand
and loan acts il; time of protracted wetness
as an ahsorber of the surplus damrness
not required in plant growth, which IS
again returned by iudicious means to the
surface soil in time OF drouth, The sol
is loose while being stirred with such inn

and compact, thus showing its adaptable.
ity to the growth of the various cereals.
While being constantly stirred it is
loose and mellow, rendering it especially
valuable for corn, and again when un-
touched or rolled it becomes firm and
compact, which adapts it to wheat. You
are well aware that this subject of

The Newsnaner Reporter.

Reporters differ in many ways. Some
are purely descriptive, in some a bump Of
humor is magnifcently developed, some
permeate a story, short or long, with in
dices Of personality. Others are castiron
in recital and make their stories as piquant
as an algebraic problem. Says Joe Howard
in the Boston Herald: A good reporter
gifted with normal spirits and good health
is a thing Of beauty and a JOY forever in

He writes with equal readiness the glib

Tombs. A good reporter must be discreet.
How much he hears be cannot tell, how
much he knows would not be fair to reveal.
He sees the best and worsttypes Of society,
and has his hand more constantly upon

The Test Oath Knocked.

The Boise Democrat says. In . recent
decision of the United States Supreme
Court sustaining the oonstitutionslity of
the Edmunds anti-polygamy law, the test
oath act passed by the Idaho Legislature
was knocked completely out, as the follow
ing paragraph will show:
The principal question raised by
the suits is whether the Board
OF Commissioners appointed under the
Edmunds Act had power to prescribe
as . condition OF registration OF voters q
discriminating test oath. requiring the
applicant for registration to swear that he
or she has not been living in q state
OF bygamy or polygamy. This cour
holds that the rules promulgated by
the Board prescribing the form Of oath
TO be exacted Of persons offering to
register as voters, and which 1t is alleged
the registration officers acted on the cases
here complained OF were without force,
and that no effect can be given them.
II cannot be alleged, the Court
holds. that they had the effect in
law OF preventing the registration
Of plaintiffs, for the registration officers
were not bound nor authorized to obey
them. and. II they did SO, they did 1t in
their own wrongs.

something AbOut the Costa Com
parisOn with America.

p%arison with America.
United States Consul Albert D. Shaw, in
q report from Manchester, England, for
1884, says: From q careful study Of the
cost OF preparing the ground and putting
in and harvesting the crops in this coun-
try, | am fully satisfied that farm expenses
are fully 100 per cent dearer in many cases,
here than they are in America, notwith-
standing the much higher wages paid with
US. The fact is that the employment OF
labor-saving agricultural machinery is
much more general and varied in
in our country than it is In this. In the
matter OF hay gathering, as an illustration
IN point, l recently saw a field of some 10
acres In extent. the crop Of which was be-
ing secured. The following was the
modus operandi: Two horses attached to
q cart, tandem a boy TO lead the horses,
one man to pitch up the hay, two men to
load with their hands; a boy to rake after,
and there were two sets Of work-people
after this fashion on one field. Now, in
America, with m man TO load
and drive his span Of horses,
and one man to pitch on the
hay-with a horse hay-fork to unload
more hay would be secured in one day than
the three sets Of workers were able to man
age The 'raking after would have been
| done by a boy with a horse-rake, after the
field had been cleared Of hay.
"This is not an overdrawn picture, but
an important statement Of an actual fact.
What is true in the bayfield, applies with
equal force to the harvest field. In passing
| by a field Of wheat last season l saw a reap
ing machine at work, six men, two women
and three boys binding up the sheaves
In the United States q reaper and self
binder with the help Of two men, would
do the same work equally we'll, thus saw
ing the wages Of five men, two women and
three boys These instances clearly show
that English farmers are very unequally
handicapped in the cost of handling crops
alone. An English settler in the United
States told me recently that he had learned
TO do twice as much work on his WI land
in one day as he used to accomplish in q
day in England. and he added that he
really believed he could go back to Eng
land and make money farming as the re-
suit OF his improved knowledge Of how TO
expeditiously put In and gather crops at q
great saving OF manual labor and conse-
quently of expense. I feel certain that it
would pay sgriculturists here to send q
deputstion Of practical farmers to America
to study the system Of putting in and
gathering crops in use there to the end
that a reduction in the cost OF manipulat-
ing the same might be made"
