The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1897-03-10

ANOTHER good article on the
fishing industry from the pen Of
M. F. Kalmbach appears in this
issue. Mr.. Kalmbach sizes up the
situation about right and gently
touches up Game Warden Fuller
ton. While the present game
warden may be giving satisfaction
to the few hunters and fishermen
in the cities, he does not give salts
faction in the sections of the state
where his services are actually
required.

Fall Rye.

s. Blanchard, in the Journal Of Agri-
culture, offers these practical sugges-
tions: "There are few crops that the
American farmer can use more profit
ably thaa this When it is soWn early
In the fall and the weather Is favorable
for the plant, it affords a great amount
of pasture for calves, colts or pigs. In
much Of the weather during the fall
when pastures are short, the cows can
be turned upon the land to feed and
that will make the wife smile with JOY
when she goes to town with her we'll
filed jars or pals Of butter. The
farmer, too, will smile with pleasure
when he beholds his calves, colts and
all other stock entering upon the win
ter In such fine condition. During
much OF the winter, when they are
turned out of their yards they will
start at once for the rye field. In fact,
1t can be pastured nearly all winter
when the ground is not covered with
snow. 1t can also be pastured quite
late In the spring, and when the stock
is all removed will often spring up If
weather Is favorable and afford to the
farmer a fair crop Of grain.
COR the field can be plOwed up in
the spring and planted to corn or some
other crop. The fall plOwlng will have
made the land more mellow for any
spring crop. All farmers who have
fields that can be utilized in this way
should not fail to SOW rye.
Years ago many of the farmers in
Kansas pastured their wheat fields
when not covered with snow. Some
thought it was no detriment to their
crops, while many question the utility
of the practice But rye is one Of our
hardest grains Drought does not af-
feet it as 1t does wheat or oats"

Worlds Wheat Shortage,

In discussing the wheat situation,
Bradstreet's says:
ut has been estimated that the United
Kingdom will require to import 1S0,-
100000 bushels of wheat during the
coming cereal year; France, $4,000, 900
bushels; Germany, Belgium and Hol-
land, 8S,00O,000 bushels; Italy, 2S,OOO,-
600 bushels; Spain and Portugal, TO-
600 900; Switzerland, $4,000, 900; Greece,
the Scandinavian peninsula and other
European countries, 12,000,000; the
West Indies, China and Brazil, S2,000,-
900; in all 412,00O,OOO bushels, which
intimates that Europe will be obliged
to import on an average 100000 BUSH
els weekly during the next cereal year,
compared with 100000 bushels weekly
during the cereal year ended July l.,
1897. During the cereal year last re-
ferred to the United States and Canada,
Russia, Roumania, Turkey, Servia,
AustrO- Hungary, Bulgaria, Argentina,
Australasia and India exported to all
countries about 366,000,0 900 bushels, or
Al, 900 900 bushels less than the esti-
mated probable requirements during
this and the next coming eleven
months.
ut is also estimated that the best
Russia will be able to do in the matter
OF wheat exports between August /,
1897, and July 81, 1898, is 1OO,OO0,0OO
bushels; the Danublan countries, 4O,-
100000 bushels; India, probably not
more than 100000 bushels, and the
west coast OF South America, Asia Mi
nor and northern Africa, probably not
to exceed 16,O00,000 bushels, Nothing

Growing Tomatoes from Slips.

A correspondent Of MayhOWer says:
still, in spite of science and in def
ance of botany, as it were, have man
aged to save at least two of these
diVinely perfect tomato plants from
utter destruction. The way have
done it is as easy as falling off a log
Along in August when the crop is
ripening up we'll and can see the
general character of my plants at
glance, / take slip from one or two
of my choicest vines and root it in
moist sand, the way woulu geran-
iGm cutting. OF course, you all know
that sprig of tomato vine will take
root as easily as a section Of witch
grass sod. If you don't, try it and
learn.
Before frost comes l take my pot in
and place it near the window, and as
fast as the shoots grow up l nip them
back so as to have bushy head. By
watering it well now and then and
keeping it from freezing I carry 1t
through to March, by which time I
have secured dozens of slips ready to
cut off and start for my garden. In
this way / have saved two grand spec
linens from destruction.
"Of course / do not use slips exclu-
sively when planting my garden, be-
cause if / did l should never discover
any new plant that was better than the
ones had. A dozen slipped plants for
my garden and few to give away to
ppreciativefriends are enough for me-
The rest of my tomato patch is set out
to seedlings that are grown from pack
cts sent out by reliable seedsmen. BY
this means I have the pleasure oi
knowing / shall have as good tomatoes
this year as I had last, while my new
born seedlings are carefully watched
in the hope that something better will
show up. When person is conduct
ing a. small garden and wants to make
every square foot of land productive
the best is none too good"
The advocate., 1897-09-01

and as Australia and Argentina will
not be able to export at all this cereal
year until after january / next, they
may be counted ON for possibly 24,OOO,-
900 bushels, all Of which would furnish
a total probable supply Of 1S8,OOO,O0O
bushels exclusive Of what the United
States and Canada can export, with
which to meet an estimated total inn
port requirement of 412,0OO,OOO bushels.
cit is evident, too, that this will call
for 224 900 900 bushels from the United
States and Canada, wheat and wheat as
-four. and the question naturally arises
whether the Dominion and the United
States are likely to be equal to the
emergency. Canada can supply the
24,0OO,O00 bushels, and, If 1t does, 1t
means that 2OO,OOO,O 900 are likely to so
abroad from this country.
"The higher commercial estimates OF
the domestic crop Of wheat have been
revised of late in the direction Of lower
figures, owing to the continued reports
of damage to the spring wheat crop,
and it is perhaps fair to consider $780,
VUUsUUV UuDnCAD 90 q AAlesAAAAAAA Ol3SAAAA~sSS
at this time. If so, the customary esti-
mate Of home requirements for food
and seed will demand the retaining OF
375, 900, 900 bushels, leaving nOminally
only 100000 bushels for export and
no allowance whatever for replenish-
ing home stocks, now at the lowest
point probably in a dozen years.
Evidently the foregoing estimates
of the worlds requirements Of wheat,
which are fairly representative, are
overstatements, or the ability Of wheat
exporting countries to supply them has
been underestimated; or, in the event
that neither of these cOnjectures proves
true, there is likely to be a squeeze in
the wheat market between the present
time and August 1, 1898 Should the
latter prove true, dollar wheat is
likely to look cheap. But the fact
should not be lost sight of that there
will be enough to go around there
always has been."

borders upon the road where the work
is done are required to pay only small
share of it's cost. The rest Of the ex-
pense 10 shared by city and country
property holders, because county taxes
are assessed in the cities as well as IN
the country, and because State taxes
are shared by every one in the State,
according to the amount of property he
owns, including the wealthy manufac-
turers, railway and insurance cOmpa-
nies. AS most Of the wealth Of the
State is to be found in the cities, the
New Jersey system successfully brings
about the construction Of improved
gravel or stone roads without laying
the entire cost upon the farmers, and
without requiring them to contribute
more than an equitable share OF the
expense according to the wealth of each
individual taxpayer. The State aid
system SUCCESSFULLY answers the Objec-
tion still made by many, that we can
not have good roads without overload
ing the farmer with taxes, Of which he
is already paying more than his share.

TRUE UNIFORMITY PLAN.
1t May Eventually Win in the Pitts.
burg District Through the Efforts
offence mmissi0ners.

Pittsburg, July 16, - The true uni
formity plan may eventually win in the
Pittsburg mining district, through the
efforts of peace commissioners, but it is
expected that it will require several
weeks, perhaps months, to secure the
signature of all operators. M. D. Ratch-
ford, national president of the Miners Or
ganization, has persistently refused to
come to Pittsburg for conference. In
communications to the district otiicials,
he said he did not believe the plan could
be brought about, and he has otherwise
thrown cold water on the scheme. Presl-
dent Dolan and Secretary Warner have
cut loose from the national executive
committee and propose to give the move
ment their hearty support. Governor
Hastings has signed the weighing bill,
introduced by Representative McWhitney
of Homestead, compelling all operators
to pay for coal mined, before it is
screened, which is known as run mine
coal. This removes one clause from the
uniformity agreement. The operators
will have their attorneys review the law,
to ascertain if it ia contitutional. Almost
to man they are opposed to it,

FOR BIMETALLISM.
Its Advocates Are Much Encouraged
by the Late Reports from England
Concerning the Advance Being
Made In the Cause by the
Special ENJOYS Of the U.
=. Government.

Washington, July 16.-The advocates
of international bimetallism are much
encouraged by the cable reports from
London, of the reception by the British
government of the joint proposal for an
international agreement, made by Baron
de Courcel, the French ambassador, on
the part Of France, and by Ambassador
Hay and the special monetary envoys, on
the part of the United States. It is not
believed by the authorities here, that the
ENJOYS went further than to suggest a
general conference to be held in the
United States some time next winter.
The evident willingness of the present
British government to accept the invita-
tion to participate in such conference,
leaves no doubt of holding the conference
eventually. Outside small group Of ar
dent believers in the possibility of an in
ternational agreement, it is not generally
believed that an international conference
will lead to any agreement, which would
justify the United States in opening it's
mints to the free and unlimited coinage
of silver. In all the reports given out
about the work being done by our special
envoys, there has never been asuggestion
that England woold agree to free coinage
or anything approaching it. Germany is
another stumbling block, in the way of
an international agreement. The Ger
man government would gladly see the
United States, and other countries do
something, which would enhance the
value of silver, for Germany has a large
quantity of silver for sale. Baron Won
Thlelmann, who has been summoned
from his post as ambassador of the Unit
ed States to become imperial minister, is
a strong advocate of the maintenance OF
the gold standard by the German empire.
