The truth is that reliable statistics, as
well as our own experience and observation,
demonstrates to us that there is no lack Of
circulating medium, that we never had
greater per capita amount Of money in cir
culation than now, and that the volume Of
circulation does not necessarily regulate or
fix the measure Of prices, but that this is
now, as ever, mainly governed by the law of
supply and demand. The same currency
buys bushel Of wheat at so cents and
bushel of potatoes at the same price. At
this figure wheat is very cheap and pO-
tatoes very high. The one produce is over
plenty, the other overscarce. And this
makes the difference, not the volume or the
quality of the currency. There is an un-
doubted lack Of currency among our farm
ers in many localities, especially in the up
per country, but this lack comes, not from
scarcity Of money in the state or nation,
but from the lack of products to exchange
for money. Compare the counties Of Free
born and Polk. if you please. In the former,
with twenty townships Of land, $4,000 peo-
pie, twenty-four creameries and a great
| amount Of dairy products, large number
OF cattle, horses, sheep and hogs and an ad-
vanced system of diversified farming, money
is not scarce and the times are far from
hard and depressed. In the latter, with
eighty-eight townships of land, 35,O 600 peo-
pie, only two creameries, a not numerous
amount OF cattle, still fewer sheep and
hogs, a scantiness of dairy products and
system OF Farming mainly devoted TO wheat
culture, money is quite scarce and times are
very hard and trying.
What makes the difference? They both
exist under the same currency and the same
flag. The difference is this: In the county
Of Freeborn the farmers have large and
valuable variety Of farm products, bringing
a fair price, to exchange for money. This
makes money plenty and times easy. On
the other hand, in the county Of Polk the
| farmers have little to exchange for money
except wheat, and that was a very light
crop, and the prices, owing to glut in the
foreign market, were very low. This makes
| money scarce and times very hard.
Farmers of the Red river valley, if you
look at the situation in its true light is it
not plain to you that relief cannot come
| from the referendum; from saloons kept by
the state, from government ownership Of
railroads, from female suffrage or from the
unconditional free coinage Of silver at the
| ratio of 16 to L?

WI eat the Least profita Die.
Ihese figures show that both relatively
and intrinsically wheat is the cheapest
and least profitable Of all our farm pro-
ducts. And this accounts for the fact well
known to all, that in these portions Of our
state where little wheat is raised and where
dairy, diversified and mixed farming pre-
walls, there is a far higher degree of
wealth and prosperity prevailing than in
those sections of the state where our farm
ers confine themselves to wheat raising. It
has been the fashion of windy and reckless
reformers in the past, and presume it il
still the fashion among these men, to insin-
uate and charge that our farmers receive
much less for their wheat here than the for
eign markets warrant, and that a large and
unreasonable margin of profits is absorbed
by the middle man or exporter, and hence
comes the exceedingly low price Those who
have at all been versed in the subject, have
known and always maintained that these
charges and insinuations have been unfound-
ed and false. Fortunately, proof positive is
now at hand.
The legislature of 1893 directed the board
Of railroad and warehouse commissioners to
ascertain and compile, from time to time,
and to publish in weekly bulletins the price
OF grain in foreign markets and in our own,
and the rates of transportation between such
markets, for the purpose of ascertaining
the difference in price between here and
abroad, the cost Of transportation and the
profits Of the middle man or exporter. From
the following statement, compiled from the
bulletins issued by the board for the months
Of November, 1893, and May and June,
1S94-months when water transportation was
open and available and when the greatest
volume of wheat was moving-it appears
that the average price Of wheat during these
months was $0.6OS4 per bushel at Duluth
and $O7646 per bushel at MverpoOl-a
gross difference of $O.1562 between the for
eign and domestic market, and that the ex-
porter, after paying Insurance. transporta-
ton rates and elevator charges, had a
net margin Of profit Of $0104 per bushel.

Our Dairy Notes.

d
For every pound Of water that is
put into milk sold in our cities the
buyer is cheated a cent on the dollar.
From our experience good many dol
lars are paid for water.
The Babcock test should be the cri-
terion in fixing the value Of milk. The
pooling system of paying as much for
one cows milk as another gives no in
ducement to dairylnen to improve their
herds.
It is a great mistake to work butter
too much and half the country butter
that finds its way to our commission
houses has been worked until it is
only grease Butter should be worked
as little as possible and have the milk
worked out of it.
Jersey breeders need not go to the
Islands now for the finest specimens OF
that breed of cattle, for here in the
United States may be found the very
best that can be found anywhere.
American breeders, by their skill, have
accomplished the work of centuries in
side of thirty years.
The export trade in Canadian cheese
increased last year 100000 boxes, while
American exports fell off 100000 boxes.
This decrease in our exports tells it's
own story. Foreigners will not have
our filed cheese and we are rapidly
losing our export trade. The fault is
all our own, and il we do not correct
it at once we cannot hope for a foreign
demand.
Does every COW In your herd pay
her way and leave q profit at the end
Of the year? This is a question that
every dairyman should be able to an
swer at once, In these days Of testers.
lf any COW is being kept at no profit
she should be sold at once at any price.
Keeping poor COW Is like throwing
money away, and amounts to the same
thing IN the end.

Separator Cream.

The separator has upset few of the
old maxims that We're supposed to have
been established once for all. This is
owing to the fact that with the sep
arator we can get a much richer cream
than by gravity methods, that is, take
out less milk with the butter fat.
This cream differs in having more
fat in given volume and consequently
less casein, less milk fbrine, less milk
sugar, etc. Having less milk sugar it
will not sour so quickly and needs q
modification of the methods of ripening.
Having less Of milk fbrine and albu-
minous material, it can be churned at
a lower temperature. This is an ad-
vantage, for a low temperature pre-
serves the grain. To skim out too
much milk in separating is to lose this
advantage, for thin separator cream
will foam in the churn and the butter
will refuse to "come,'' the same as
will cream from set milk Careful
ripening and low churning temperature
are points to be carefully observed with
separator cream.

Wool and Mutton.

Professor Hickman, of the Ohio State
University, gives it as his opinion that
it is impossible to produce the best
quality of wool and the highest grade
of mutton from the same carcass. We
are inclined to join issue with Professor
Hickman on this question, for we be-
ieve that there are now bred in this
country sheep that, while growing a
very high quality Of wool, are, when
slaughtered, excellent mutton. We re-
fer to what are commonly called ''mutr
ton merinos:' They are of the Black
top type in shape, having smooth, round
bodies and plump quarters, but the
wool is not SO black at the tips as the
Blacktop feeces generally are. These
sheep have never been doomed to any
extent, but in central Ohio there are
several focks of them which, even with
present low prices, are very profitable.
They are not claimed to be pure
breed, but are the result from selec-
hons from merino grades, and have
been bred in one direction long enough
so that they breed quite true to type.
They bear a heavy fleece, and the wool
brings the highest price always, and
when the sheep are taken to market
they sell as well as any other breed.
AS price is the only criterion by which
the value of anything can be Judged,
it seems to us that these mutton me-
nerino ewes makes a cross that is pro-
ton and wool producers A cross be-
tween the Shropshires and merinos,
using Shropshire ram and high grade
merina ewes make cross that is pro-
fitable for either wool or mutton, and
this cross is largely used in the CEN
trail States-American Farmer.
