awaiting raise to IS per bushel-
and he is still waiting it might be
said. At the end of two years he
sold his crop for Is cents. Another
member stated that he would have
been several thousand dollars ahead
if he had followed the policy Of sell
ing fromNthe machine, as fast as the
grain could be hauled to the eleva-
tor. One year he struck it right by
holding it until spring, but when re
next attempted it the experiment:
lost, and not since then had he found
1t safe to speculate in wheat in this
manner. From threshing time to
the close of navigation the price of
wheat is quite likely to decline and,
until the reopening of navigation,
to remain nearly stationary, except
for the influence of foreign stocks
upon American market. Some of
the members of the society have
been connected with agricultural So
cieties for over a quarter of CEN
fury and their opinions on the sub.
ject were of peculiar interest in
the discussion of this problem.

AGAINST HOLDING GRALN.

The German Agricultural society
held their annual meeting at James
town last week and discussed mat
tiers of great interest to them. Prin-
cipal among the topics was one re-
lating to the proper time to dispose
of the wheat crop. By quite gener-
al consent it seemed to be the con-
sensus of opinion that the best time
was as soon as the grain could be
marketed-rush the grain from the
machine to the railroad and sell at
once. The experience Of the mem.
bers along this line was related and
the discussion interesting in the ex-
treme. One related how, about the
time of the close of the war, wheat
suddenly leaped up to $2.75 and
1886 per bushel. One grain raiser
was not content with this muni6cent
price and held on for two years

FARMING ON 4 POST CARD.

Some time since a paper in one of
the chief cities of Kansas offered a
prize for the best points of farming
that could be written on post card.
The winning card was as follows:
"My experience is that farming to
be profitable, must be conducted on
the most exacting plan of economy
in every department, and recommend
the following: Study to have the
work done in the best manner with
the least labor. Good fences make
peaceable stock. Keep the farm tools
in repair and under cover. Don't let
manure go to waste. Study the COM
fort of all farm animals, including
the hogs. A half starved animal in
dicates the character of the farmer.
Never allow weeds to get ripe.
Look we'll after the weak animals,
strong ones will take care of them,
selves. A leaky roof means rotten
floor. The store box is not good
place on which to raise revenue.
Trim up around the fence corners.
Waste makes want and want breeds
discomfort. A stunted calf or pig
means a future loss of time and
feed. Keep the harness in repair and
we'll oiled. There is economy in
ground feed. The loss on hay and
other crops would pay for good
barn in ten years. Ground plewed
in August and September is the
best fixed for early spring work.
Horses should be watered in tho
morning before feeding. Patronize
home industry and don't worry
about the future.-Nor'- West Far

EDUCATIONAL APPROPRIATIONS

1t looks as though the appro-
priation question is going to pre-
cipitate hot fight among the ed
ucational institutions of the state,
which will virtually end in the sur
vival of the tittest. The northern
tier of counties will likely be met
with strong opposition from the
south-seven of the nine members
of the appropriation committee be-
ing from that part of the state.
From the face of the matter it looks
very much as though the commit
tee is packed to down the State.
The fact of the matter is we have
too many educational institutions
in the state and some of them
must go or all struggle along on
half-rations and do but little work.
The Fargo agricultural college and
Mayville and Valley City normal
schools are already beginning to
feel their footing give way under
them, and are combining to oppose
the state university in order to save
themselves. One we'll equipped in
stitution can care for all the stu
dents in North Dakota for years to
come far better than they can pos
fslbly be cared for now. The re-
mainder of the money which we
now appropriate for education if
given to aid the high schools
throughout the state would Put
our educational system on a first
class basis and place a liberal ed
ucation within the reach of twenty
where it is now possible to one.
Let the members from the north
stand together for the University
of the State of North Dakota.

The benefits of free wool and of
reduced duties on woolens are be-
ginning to be felt by manufactures
and consumers alike. A Pittsburg
merchant writes to the Herald
that he is able to sell French chal-
lies at Is cents per yard less than
under the Mckinley tariff, and
that there has been proportion
ate reduction on all other wooden
goods. Not only so but with free
wool our manufacturers are able
to compete on even terms with
foreign mills in genuine ali wool
goods. The result is that less for
eign goods will be imported, and
there has been a increase of orders

GOLD BEARING BONDS.

President Cleveland's special
message to congress upon the finan-
cial situation is a patriotic appeal
to the patriotism of congress for
prompt action to maintain the credit
of the government and relieve the
country from financial distress.
His recommendations in brief are
that an issue of gold bearing bond
be authorized sufficient in volume to
maintain the gold reserve and retire
the greenbacks and demand notes;
that these bond run for so years and
draw per cent interest; that they
be made available for banking, and
that the national banks be authorized
to issue currency up to the par value
of the bond deposited for security,
save in case of 2 per cent bonds
which may sell below par; the low
est denominations of national bank
note allowed be $40; and that silver
certificates of the denomination of
$40 and upwards be replaced by GER
tiicates of the denomination of less
than $40. Also that duties on i'm
ports shall be required to be paid in
gold.
The arguments by which the
president sustains these recommen.
dations is terse, logical and sound.
The faith and credit of the govern
ment is pledged to the payment of
certain of our obligations in gold.
To fail to fulfill such pledges would
be national dishonor, AMI yet they
cannot be fulfilled without addition
al legislation.
There is no certainty of main
tanning gold reserve under the ex-
listing law, which requires the reis-
sue of the greenbacks and the de-
mand notes that may be paid into
the treasury. A person wanting
gold from the treasury may obtain
it by presenting the government
notes, and such notes must be re-
issued and may be presented again
for redemption in gold, and thus
the process may go on forever, or
until the gold is exhausted. The
government demand notes operate
upon the gold reserve like syphon
draining tank. The president pre-.
sents some startling figures showing
the dimentions Of the gold drain up.

THE NEW JUDGESHIP.

The bill before the legislature to
divide this judicial district will
doubtless become a law, as lit is
very apparent to all that our Judge
has more to do than he can attend
to in proper and careful manner.
The division, as named, gives to- the
southern district Grand Forks and
Nelson counties, and to the northern,
Walsh, Pembina and Cavalier.
While the northern district is the
larger and more populous, the, gdivi-
sion named, for convenience and
compactness of territory, is probably
the best that could be made. That
our laws may be properly enforced,
and the common interests of the
people best subserved, it is necessary
that sufficient number of Judges
be given us that each case docketed
for district court may have careful
and prompt attention. Delayedand
adjourned terms of court in Pembina
county alone have cost thousands
of dollars more than necessary,
simply because one judge wass SO
crowded with work that court, could
not be held at the proper tims, or
for sufficient length Of time 70 al
low the docket to be disposed Of.
Prisoners are held for many months
in Jail, at county expense; jurors
empaneled, calendars printed, and
all the expenses consequent upon .
full term of court are incurred, that
an adjourned term might be held,
when only few special cases can be
heard. The judiciary is of SO grave
Importance to the welfare Of: the
commonwealth that it should, ID no
reasonable way, be hampered. It
should also be removed as far as
possible from politics and political
wire-pulling or log-rolling. When
the new district is formed grave
responsibility rests upon the people
of this district; that of selecting a
Judge. We have in the district
many able lawyers of different pc.
litical opinions and views. The lat
ter should in no wise be taken into
consideration in making selection
to fill the judicial chair. In any
event let the best-ftted be chosen,
without undetermined or political
workings, aud the judicial in this
district be lifted from the filth and
slime of trucking political schemlng,
too often found taking a strong
hand in the election of our judges.
