WHAT FOOLS THESE MoRTALs BE.

"There is nothing very funny about season like the present." said a sensible and active farmer recently in my hearing. ''The drouth is terrible, and it's effects on the profits of the dairy are counted by the millions of dollars of loss. Where are dairymen coming out if they persist in running the.risk of drought and refusing to prepare for emergency with an abundant supply of soiling crops? Compare the dairies of farmers having no fodder corn to feed with those who feed this suceulent ration regularly and thus help out the burned pastures. There is all the difference between milk and no milk, returns and no returns. And now while milk and butter are bringing better prices, those who have nothing to feed but bought foods are in a discouraging spot. They have stood the period of abundant milk and low
 prices when they could make nothing
 and are now just as badly fixed or worse.
 Doesn't it seem as if people who have
 been caught so once would learn a les son and never be cornered so again But they wont. Next year some of us will be in just the same unproftable eli
 max. If the raising of fodder crops
 were risky or difficult or almost impossi-
 ble or as hard to do as the raising ot
 money it might not be expected of all
 farmers, but since it is the easiest thing
 in the world it is great marvel that SC few should follow it regularly and sys.
 tematically. There might be some palli.
 ation ii. the crops raised for feeding green
 were wasted one year in four because a
 wet season made the pastures sotgood that soiIing was unnecessary, but such crops may be cured and housed for winter l invariably and with very little trouble
 h cold weather they come in right, ol may be sold readily. To have barn half full of stover at turning out time is never considered anything worse thar an indication of an extra good farmer l Then what is the matter with 90 peI cent of us? Don't we want returns from our farms? It has this appearance
 And still the improvements remaining forever, like the shoes of the shoemaker's family, unmade, give the lie to this con c1usion. Don't we know when to SOW and plant? Perhaps we forget adversi lty in times of prosperity. But now
 while under the lash let us get to work and see-f we cannot atone this season yes, this very season for short fodder crop.

 throats. The squirrels bark. but the quail keep still, Except some inpudent daring bird That has not had summer to his fill, Nor fears the dogs that his parents stirred With his keen scent and searching nose. The summer flowers are nearly gone, Their mission ended, except to close Upon their seeds to carry on Their everlasting beauty. but the golden rod And the blue gentian sure will come And how and send their beauty up to God, And make us still happy in our earthly home

NEW CIVILIZATIONS.

But the Lord who made them all hath set the bounds Of their habitation and placed limit and check upon all their plans, ssfor the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.' Nations come and go and empires rise and fall but the progress of the Kingdom of Heaven flows on forever. As we go back over the pages of history we trace the progress of the social and industrial life of our race through the various stages and conditions which in general we have called savage, barbarous, half-civilized and civilized. So when we come to the last and highest stage of development we can discern certain lines of progress in the civilized and Christianized periods of our history. We have reached point in this modern method of living at which the Lord of the vineyard has called halt upon our labors. The social machinery of the world is out of order and needs must be put in repair and readjusted. The rules and regulations of the great
 workshop of the world need to be re- vised. We need to do better work in
 better ways in order to meet the latest demand which the great Master Bsilder

of the people who are supposed to make 1t what it is. Finally, we may sum up the whole case in this one word Selfish ness. Greedy selfishness. Not self-in- terest wisely understood, but blind, un- reasonable greed. Whether capital or labor, church or state, in private or in public life the root of the whole matter is selfishness. We are simply reaping that which we have sown. The day of reckoning has come. Capital is arrogant, labor is insolent. People love them selves. Competition in getting is not followed by competition in giving. The man who in any way cheats his fellow men injures himself in the end. The law of love is the universal law of life. ssAnd one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother that he divide the inheritance with me- This is the appeal which we hear on every side.

1894 promises to be a good crop year. For a year past
light orders have been placed for stocks of merchandise. Empty
shelves must soon be replenished-1argely from St. Paul. The
recently opened line of the Great Northern railroad to the Pa
CHIC coast means a material expansion of our trade. The rapid
development OF the lake carrying tonnage means cheaper fuel
and rates On merchandise from the East. Our rapidly devel-
oplng manufacturing and industrial enterprises point to an
increased population, greater prosperity of the laboring classes,
and a vast increase in the volume of our businessyearlv.
Our banks. Jobbing houses, and all classes of business men
are upon a sound footing. Our sails havingbeen trimmed and
the financial storm weathered, St. Paul invites the Northwest
tolts doors with the new era of frightening skies, points with
pride to its record as the Commercial Metropolis of the new
Northwest, and assures all friends, competitors and patrons of
a continuance of that spirit of fair dealing which has made the
city great.

that by the city putting in its own light
