Diversified Farming.

The principle of the largest possible
diversity in farming operations that
is consistent with ones situation, is
one that has long been recognized as
based upon many sound reasons. Bo-
nanza farming has, in a few excep-
tional cases. proved very profitable for
a short period, but it is, after all, only
a method of quickly Swimming the
cream, and it leaves the agriculture of
the locality in which it is pursued in
worse situation than before. There
are special cases where, by reason OF
the adaptation of the farm or the far
mer, a large measure of success has
been attained by the grower of special
crops. These cases, however, are
law unto themselves, and for the great
bulk of the farmers of the country the
rule ought to be a large and well Sc
lected diversity. This g1ves the farm
the advantage of a thoroughly good
rotation, without which land must
gradually fail in fertility unless com
mercial fertilizers are used. a thing
that will NOT be likely to occur in the
west for many years to come 1t may

papers printed for our use; when we
regularly attend our farmers institutes

which a diversified knowledge is so es-

The Paris Had a Stormy Voyage.

Chicago Times-Herald: New York,
Dec. 21.-Gales, long drawn out, was
the burden of a dreary Renaissance
which passengers and crew of the be-

Advantage of Ready Money.

One of the greatest hindrances to
profitable farming is a desire to go
too fast at first and to purchase things
we could get along without. The oblig-
ing agents tell you that you need not
trouble about the money; your note
will do just as well; but you will find
that you must pay big interest for the
privilege of going in debt, and you are
always at disadvantage to your cred
itor. Have the money ready to pay
and you can then make your half of

A SILVER MOVEMENT,

up and are now circula ling for
signatures a formal declaration of
their principles. The statement

Der of prominent local Republicans
have already been attached to it..
It's bic appearance willprobably
be made within week, although
a longer time may be required, as
the opportunity to sign the docu-
meat will be given a number Of
party men living outside Mime
apolis and St. Paul. When it is
made public it will bear twenty Or
possibly twenty five names, but
all of them, so the silver men say,
as prominent and representative
as can be found in Minnesota.
According to the story the state
ment was drawn up by Congress.

of signatures will also be directly
looked after by him. Congressman
Towne has been in Minneapolis for
the last twenty -four hours, but
early this morning paid his hotel
bill and silently departed. Hesis
regarded as the head and front Of
the movement for the present, and
it is probable that his name will
head those attached to the mani.
festo. OF the local Republicans a
general denial was put in this
morning when they were asked
whether they had anything to do
with the statement, but one adj
mitted that he had been sitting IN
the recent conferences in which
the statement had been determined
upon and the policy of campaign
discussed. His verification of the
story included also the fact that
within ten days at most the docu-
ment would be given to the public
through the press. :
Within week, also, there will
appear another silver manifesto,
this second one call for mass
convention of all silver men in the
state. Chairman Griffin, of the
National Bimetallic league for
Minnesota, will sign the call and
the place named will be Minneapo-
Ills. The date will be some day or
days in the middle Of July, prob
ably July Is, or about a week after
the national Democratic conven-
ton in Chicago. The object of
the convention will be to name the
80 delegates Minnesota is entitled
to have in the national convention
of the silver forces to be held at
St. Louis, July %, or at the same
time as the Popuist convention.
From the amount of silver senti-
ment to be found in the state
Chairman Griffin expects large
attendance at the convention here,
although just at present he has no
means of estimating just how many
delegates will attend. In bringing

Towne and John Lind, as well as
