Delays are Dangerous.

There are those who are morbidly anx
ious about their health. watching every
symptom and dosing themselves on the
slightest provocation. There are Others
who never give the matter a thought,
but permit real synstoms to lapse into
the certainties of disease. Between these
two extremes the wise man steers-neyer
unduiy anxious, and yet not permitting
genuine Symptoms to develop. He
knows that delays are dangerous, more
over that the medicine most likely to be
effective is that which goes straight to
the seats of the disease, and tones up the
digestive organs. strengthens the system
aud puri6es the blood. He takes few
doses of S. S. s., and soon finds that alt
the symptoms have disappeared, and
that he - in better condition than ever.

NEXT week convention will be held in
st. Paul to consider the best means of
increasing the appropriation for the state
exhibit at the worlds tair in Chicago in
1898. Fifty thousand dollars is not
enough to make creditable showing
and the commissioners would like at
least twice as much more. But one
thing should be clearly understood-no
part of it must be used in stimulating or
encouraging foreigne population to OIL
onize in this state. Not but the state will
welcome intelligent and worthy immi-
grants in such numbers as can be assim-
Hated but to bid for wholesale influx OF
foreigners irrespective of qualifications
or desire for citizenship is an evil which
must be countenanced. Minnesota is a
good state-none better; but it is not
necessary that it be filled full within
FIVE, ten or fifty years. 1t will last-last
longer if settled with good citizens than
bad or Indifferent ones. Let the state
exact full citizenship as a qualification
for voting and not be in too great hur.

THE PROPOSITION to delay the market
ing of wheat is similar to scheme once
advocated in New York vhen the hops
were selling at a ruinously low price. 1t
was advocated that every hop grower
burn one half his crop. thus producing
a shortage which would result in rails
ing the price from about eight cents per
pound to forty or nifty cents. The trou,
bic was that every farmer waited for his
neighbor. to build the first hop fre-ani
none were built.

WHENa man turns critic or becomes at
all critical, he is charged with having
sinister, usually an ambitious motive. So
it is with the estimate placed supon Joel
Heatwole of the North-field Journal
nal. He is sneered at charged with undue
ambition and declared to be scheming
-selEseeker- all because he opposes {. K.
Davis for senator. In this matter the
Herald has no sympathy whatever for
Mr.. Heatwole for it is universally and
aggressivly for Mr.. Davis, but it
recognizes the pertectmoral and political
right of Mr.. Heatwole to oppose him
and believes he thinks he is advocating
policy best calculated to strengthen the
party in Minnesota. Few men in this
state have given the republican party
more effective, disinterested and cordial
support than Joel Heatwole, and he is
entitled. to the respect and confidence of
the party therefor.

THE GRAIN CROP.

Wheat and oats in this vicinity are
now practically beyond any danger from
climatic influences, such blight, scald,
rust. .or from the attack of insect pests
the only real dangers being destructive
wind and hail, or prolonged and excessive
rain during the harvest. The indications
were never brighter for an abundant har-
yest at this season of the year. The
straw is strong and abundant, and the
wheat heads unusually well filled
although not particularly long, the re-
suit OF which must be yield rather
above the average. Oats will doubtless
prove equally favorable in quality. As
indicative of the prospects in the timber,
friend writes from Grey Eagle: as. c.
McClintick has bought in several heads
of wheat which are on exhibition at the
store of S. N. Thompson. which have
four rows. many of the heads contain
ing as many as sixty-four kernels"
This would indicate an enormous yield.
hirty.fve to forty well-filled kernels, with
the usual stand ofstraw yielding eighteen
or twenty bushels.
Certainly, the wheat and oat fields
never looked more beautiful than at
present. The crops On the sand are
week or ten days earlier than on the clay
and the harvester is already at work up
on the former and before this paper
reaches its readers the sand farmers will
be in the midst of cutting. Next week
work will be general back from the val
ley, on the clay land.
Ifnothing untoward happens the far
mer will enjoy an abundant return in
quantity and quality from his farming
operations OF the current year. AS to
price, that is one OF the problems which
the HERALD would be very glad to solve
for the benefit of its readers. Whether
it IS better to hold or market early is The
theannual dilemma which the interested
alone must determine each for himself
The writer is satisfied that there is not q
person living who can give safe ADVICE
grounded upon satisfactory premises. Il
wheat could be withheld by all growers
the quotations would doubtless be large
ly advanced, but the wheat however
long it is kept out of market must &c
forward some time, and when it goes
forward the prices viii yield just in pro
portion as The supply meets the demand
1t is very we'll for the superficial observ
err, who has not bushel of wheat to
sell, to advise this or that course, but
such advises are not safe. Every
farmer should keep himself posted to the
fullest extent possible and then rely up
on his own judgment as to the time o
sale.

which is unsatisfactory to saw the least.
OF course any town which has an organ
lied bureau to advertise it will reap rich
rewards, but few towns are doing this,
and comparatively few will do it, hence
the necessity of state supervision. Appar-
emily there never was better time for
presenting the claims OF the northwest
than no ", as there seems to be q general
turning in this direction for information
as'to what we have to offer. Farmers are
looking for new locations to carry on their
operations where land is cheaper and op-
portunities greater. Every state in the
northwest can offer inducements TO them.
Manufactures in the east are looking
about to see II there are not other localities
where the raw material and consumers
are nearer together than they have them,
sud where as 70 consequence the profits
Of their business will ba greater. Every
northwestern state can Gil the bill. So
It is in ali the different lines, and all thaN
is necessary is to bring the different inter-
ests together. THIS makes grand oppor-
itunity for organized effort.

sheep : success.

Northwestern nAgriculturist: Sheep are,
proving very satisfactory stock in the
Dakotas.and Minnesota, and the focks
will be Increased whenever possible this
season. Capitalists are buying sheep. in
many localities, and putting them out on
shares, in the hands of carefsl farmers,
with good results and are ready to buy
and put out more. This enables farmers
TO get start in sheep without going in
debt and witha q few TO start with it is
surprising how soon q large flock grows
out of the small beginning. The conditions
of soil and climate seem to favor sheep
growing In the enorthwest, and 1t is clearly
destined to be 8 favorite branch Of farm
Ing, and one which will do more for the
semi-arid as well as the more favored .re-
glons than all the money the government
could be induced TO spend In irrigation.
