MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS.
We hear favorable reports of the
good done by our Sunday Schools,
Primaries, improvement Associations
and Relief Societies, and we feel to
abundantly bless the brethren and
sisters who so diligently and faithfully
labor therein for the instruction of our
youth and the benefit of the 1907. We
desire to encourage ali engaged in these
duties to continue with undated zeal
and disintereStedneSS in these laoOrs
of love and mercy that the institutions
under their charge may rise to vet
greater heights of excellence and use
fulnesS, and the scope Of their infiu-
ence for good in the midst of the Saints
continually increase, and upon parents
we urge the wisdom and desirableness
of fostering by their faith, influence
and example these admirable institu-
tiOns for the benefit OF their children.
In consequence OF the unusually dry
summer the crops have not been so
abundant as in some former seasons.
Although the WELD of wheat is com
paratiyely small it commands but q
low price in the market. Wisdom and
economy suggest that our farmers
should not be anxious to make imme-
date sales. Every kernel of wheat is
precious 1t should be stored care
fully for future use, in suCn a manner
as to preserve 1t from destructive in
sectS and the action OF the elements.
The warnings which have been given to
Israel on this point were not uttered IN
vain, as coming time will abundantly
establish. Let no grain be wasted nor
thrown heedlesSly upon a depressed
market to continue the depression and
fritter away the fruits Of arduOuS toll
Preparations should be made Tor the
proper care of stock during the ap-
preaching winter. Too many animals
ale permitted to perish for the lack of
food and shelter. After the Lord has
blessed the flOcks and herds Of His
people, il is sinful to allow them to
wander on the bleak prairies or snow
covered benches to die of cold or
starvation. Unless provided with
shelter from storm and iDclement
weather loose stock should be gathered
up and sent to warmer localities for
winter range.
The wool crop of the past season has
been very large and Sheep-Owuers have
made fair profits on their products.
But domestic economy recOlls at the
spectacle of 100000 pounds Of wool
being shipped out of the Territory TO be
returned III the shape Of inferior cloth,
and ue purcua SD at nigl prices
by woOlgroWeTs and others. Factories
among our own people should utilize
the whole of this product, employing
hands that are now idle to manufac-
tuTe honest goods, and thus retain in
the Territory much money that goes 20
build up industries 9far of. Our home
factories are turning out most excel
lent articles at reasonable prices
these should be purchased in prefer
encc to foreign made goods, because
they are more durable and because
home industries ought TO be patron
lied.
On the same principles and for the
same reasons the hides and pelts which
are now shipped away to be brought
back manufacture into articles tnat
can be made in this Territory, ought
to be retained and worked up for home
use. Factories for this purpose, care
fully conducted, would soon return
fair profits, while the whole commu-
nifty would share IN the resultant bene-
fits.
