When You Battle in the Seq.

keep your breath" is of course the
best advice to people who won't be ad-
vised not to trife with the liquid which
both floats and strangles. The next best
advice is, Keep your head" If in
threatening circumstances, think. If you
are swimming in the breakers reflect
that the approaching wave which sud
denly looks so high will certainly lift
you to it's height before the foamy com
Der breaks about your ears. And when
the passing wave sinks beneath your
falling body have no fear that you will
be swallowed in the watery abyss.
Nothing moro exhausts an ocean swim
mer than useless efforts to climb an ap-
preaching mountain of water, or to float
downward more slowly than the reced-
ing wave. You can have your sport
with the sea if you will humor it and let
it have its fun with you. But to pit
your puny arms against the Atlantic's
heavings is to violate the first rules of
the game and pay forfeit, perhaps, with
life. The same rule of acquiescence has
saved many man in tideway and
will save many more. New York Times.

To Be a Good Teacher.

Good health is particularly necessary
for the teacher, as the labors of the
school room draw so constantly and
heavily on the vocal, mental and nerv-
GUS forces Teachers need to be con-
tinually on their guard against anything
which can interfere with their physical
well being. This precaution has also a
moral significance and Importance.
Of course the more liberal and thor
ough the education the better the
foundation on which the teachers work
is based, but there have been many great
scholars who have proved very poor
teachers, for the possession of knowl-
edge by no means implies the ability to
impart it, 1t is safe to assume that
natural talent in this direction is the
best possible test of the "born teacher"
In addition TO what is usually included
in liberal education, knowledge of
the comparatively modern science of
psychology is indispensable. familiarity
with the laws which control the develop

Congressional Humbuggery.

The farmer who is instructed to write
to his congressman and urge him to
vote in the interests of agriculture" will
have little time for raising a crop if he
follows up all the bills that are pouring
into congress. Many of these bills, os-
tensibly in the interests of farmers, are
glaring specimens of demagogery and
humbug. None knows this better than
the men that introduce them. Why.
then, are they introduced? Simply to
keep the farmers quiet" Not one of
these wild cat bills can be passed through
this congress-they will only injure the
chances of the few wise and conserva-
tive measures that are being discussed.
Some representatives whose present OBJ
ject in life is to secure a reelection may
be able to have roaring speech printed
and distributed at government expense;
that's about all that will come Of it,

Be EminentIy Practical.

In our opinion there never was time
in the history Of this country when
clear headed, strong hearted, courageous
leaders were more needed than at the
present. Unfortunately for over twenty
five years first principles have been lost
sight of, and the grand principles under
lying our wonderful constitution, as I'M
derstood and propounaed by the fathers,
have been too much left in allegiance,
and vicious system of trusts and COM
bines, in huge syndicates and rich cor
porations, has been fostered under the
guise of American manufactures and
"infant industries" heralding the popu-
lar cry of protection to American la
bor." These industries have had special
privileges under a vicious system of
political economy that enriched the
manufacturers and corporation syndi-
Gates at the expense of the farmers-the
prime producers. True it is that spe-
cious pleas have been put forth to show
that all this was favorable to the farm
er's interest, and specially so to the dear
workingman. Let the condition of the
coal miners and iron workers of Illinois
and Pennsylvania answer this fallacy.
Western and southern farmers and
their strong allies. the workingmen,
should strictly bear in mind that if they
are to win the points for which they are
now in the initial stages of contending
they must be eminently practical in their
actions. both before and after nomina-
tions are made this faii.-Kansas City

Cheap. Fungicide for Grape Mildew.
Some of our. grape growers last season
decided that ammoniacal carbonate of
copper is cheaper fungicide for grape
mildew than the Bordeaux mixture, and
also that it possesses the advantage over
the Bordeaux mixture of not spotting
the fruit. Thinking some reader may
desire a formula for making the carbon
ate of copper, we give the one recon-
mended by Professor Bailey: Pour into
a two-quart vessel one quart of am
pAnia; add three ounces of carbonate of
copper; STIR rapidly for moment and
a clear liquid will be the result. This
concentrated liquid may be kept indefi-
nitely. For use it must be diluted to
twenty-five gallons.

FACE TO FACE WITH RUIN.
The North Dakota Farmers Are at the
Elevator Rings Mercy.

Elevator Rings Mercy.
A special dispatch from jamestown,
N. D., says: 1t will be a startling piece
of news to the wheat growers of North
Dakota to finGou on the eve of harvest
that no elevator in the state will store
grain this year. This radical change in
the handling of the crop has been kept
as secret as possible. 1t was determined
upon, it is said, soon after the law was
passed this year which makes all public
elevators and ware houses pay an annual
license of $3.50 per 600 bushels capac-
ity. Nine-tenths of the crop of the state
has been heretofore bought by the ele-
vator companies upon the Duluth and
Minneapolis quotations A farmer could
store his grain in these elevators for
fifteen days for nothing, and keep it in
store as long as he desired to pay a small
fee therefor.
Now the elevators will refuse this on
the ground that they are not public ele-
vators, and the farmer who is mortgaged
to the ears will this year be compelled
to sell his crop at whatever price the
company chooses to allow him. In most
cases this will leave him penniless for
the'winter. The law was supposed to
be reasonable one, and was in the nat
ure of a tax not SO easy to evade as the
old tax law has proved, but the COM
panies, in order to evade it, will resort
to this sweeping change, which will
bring misery on most of the wheat grow
ers of this state-a class Of men having
from fifty to five hundred acres in grain,
which represents all they have in the
world and which now promises the first
actual return for their labor in three
years.
By the plan of fprct lg private buyers
out of the small stations and agreeing
upon price the principal elevators of
the state will have, as in the past, abso-
lutte control Of the enormous crop now
heading out. This crop will be so large
that the railroad companies have stated
that all the railroads combined cannot
furnish cars to move it one tenth as fast
as required. If the elevators decline to
store it the confusion and dislnay that
will result will be something unparal-
leled. OF course the demand for cars
will be immensely increased. Farmers,
having had no notice of the elevators
action, will not have time to build bins
or ware houses They have, as a rule,
no granaries now, and cannot get money
to buy lumber for new ones to store their
own grain in.
Many of them bought seed wheat of
the elevator syndicate organized by Gov
ernor Miller this spring. The wheat was
charged for at 81 a bushel and lien
taken on the crop which prevents the
farmer from doing anything with it ex
cept to turn it over to the company as
soon as thrashed. The plan of the COM
bine will result in an agricultural panic
for this section of the state. Chicago
