garden, of Boone, Iowa, TO the Farm,
Field and StOckmdll.
Instead Of vainly wishing and waiting
for rains while the crop is perishing for
want of moisture, let there be due pre-
paration TO take care of the moisture
when IL comes down I'm rains or SHOWS by
doop blowing and occasional subsoiling,
that II may be stored deep down in the
earth for future use when needed by
plants, so preventing its evaporation be-
fore 1t can be used by the growing crop.
To ''till the ground'-not merely
scratching two or three inches of the
thin Surface-is the single simple re-
Quirement of natures laws. When this
is properly done all the sources of sup
ply Of plant food and moisture, i'm the
surface soil and deep down in the earth,
and in that great reservoir of fertility"
the air, can be utilized for the promotion
Of the growth of plants and the yields Of
all farm crops.
There need be and will be no ''deDle-
ton" OF soil, but constant increase and
Improvement In fertility and yields, and
in this way only can the demands OF ad-
vancing populations be supplied with the
various productions of the earth which
go toisustain human existence.
Deep culture of the soil allows an eX-
cess Of moisture to pass away from the
roots of plants and prevents injury In a
wet "spell" of weather, and in a dry
time the moisture is supplied from the
stored rains which find their way into
the eaftfr rnsrcau orcgcapInP oY eVapor-
alton, as is the case when shallow plOw-
ing is practic6d.
Let every cultivator of the soil reflect
for a moment only and behold the with
ering effect upon all crops OF a short
spell of dry weather. See what great
lamentation and cOmplainings prevailed
the past season on account of the failure
of rains. Think how short time it
takes for either dry "spcll' or a wet
"spell" of weather to iniure the crops,
and then ask the question has the great
Creator established such a whitening,
blasting necessity, or rather Is IL not
caused by the neglect of the tiller Of the
soil to comply with the edict TO "till the
ground?"
The great principle of agricultural
work must be simple to be comprehend
ed and practiced by the average cultiya-
tor. The earth was not made for the
smart, the intelligent, the comprehen-
sive farmer alone, but for the average,
and those below him. The single thing,
deep culture of the soil, will do more to
restore the waning yields of farm crops
and TO establish prosperous state Of
agriculture, than all other things com
bined. 1t is more important than the
Bank question, the money question, and
that has more influence over the pros
perity of the country than all other
questions relating To governmental-polt-
zeal questions combined.

patience FINDS a way.

A writer in the New York Ledger
mentions worthy old man, "Uncle"
Alden Palmer, who uttered good
many sensible sayings Of his own and
was fond of quoting the maxiDns OF
others. One old sentence that he often
repeated was Patience and pefseyer-
ance will accomplish all things One
day in at the old mans mill in Norway,
Me-, he had repeated the old axiom in
good faith, when a self-important man
who was waiting for grist disputed him.
~No, sir. can tell you many things
which patience and perseverance can
not accomplish. Perhaps you can, !"
replied Uncle Palmer quietly; "but 1
have never yet come across the thing.
Will you name one?" viii patience
and perseverance, enable You TO carry
water in sieve?" Certainly they
will" II would like to have You tell
me how IL is to be accomplished
simply by waiting patiently for tho
water TO freeze"

Duluth Gets the Wheat.


Sure as fate Minneapolis is losing
her grip on Duluth and the grain
markets. Taking last Saturday as a
sample, Duluth received IT'S cars,
and Minneapolis only 446. Duluth
received 44S cars OF No. 1 Northern,
two cars more than the entire receipt
of Minneapolis. We do not know just
how important this matter is today,
but last year it would have indicated
that a tyrannical control OF the
wheat market was broken. This year
there may be "a more complete or
ganization of the control of Duluth.
However that may be, it is certain
that the market of Duluth is no long
er the plaything of the Minneapolis
ring through junior members of the
Mill City firms.
Be it known, that Duluth has a wa
ter power even greater than the ST.
Anthony Falls of the Mississippi
while Duluth is also on the direct
highway to Liverpool. The prices at
Duluth have ruled much higher than
at Minneapolis. How this will be
during the winter is doubtful, but We
believe that they will continue higher
the winter through.

1t is a fact undenied by any, that
the stability and righteous govern
ment of our nation depends upon the
proper training and education of our
boys and girls. Justice and human
ity would dictate that the children
be kept in school for a certain length
OF time-but what do we see-in
many OF our cities? The law in regard
to the legal age of employment is to-
tally disregarded, and the factories
and shops are filled with helpless
ones who should be in training for
the future. Chicago alone has 1O6
factories where children are illegally
employed. Men and women should
fill their places at good living wages.
And the time will come through the
Independent party when this great
wrong will be righted.

Purchase for Every Sale.

A great many people are deceived
into believing that as there is pur-
chase for every sale there must be as
great a "Bull" movement as a
"Bear" unconventional a Just equi-
poise established in the grain mar
kets of the world.
Nothing can be further from the
truth. There must be purchase for
every sale-but at the same time the
bears may bear the market down to
any extent before making sales-by
tremendous offers to sell on their
gambling deals. The fact that at
times some man has sand enough to
buy does not necessarily bull up the
market a single point.
And vice versa.
