Twenty years ago farming in this
locality was very different from what
it is at present, The raising Of small
grains,-of which wheat was far the
most largely sown, was the control
ling industry. Indeed the cultivation
of wheat was the one end in view,
other phases Of farming were resorted
to only as q means to this end.
Horses were needed to prepare the
land, SOW the seed, cultivate the soil,
harvest, thrash and haul the grain to
market. Oats and hay were culti-
waited to feed these horses and the
few cows needed for furnishing milk
and butter for the family. AS a con-
sequence, partly, at least,-horses
and cattle were high. An instance of
the high price of beef cattle is brought
to mind: George Pratt, who was con-
Quoting a meat market here eighteen
or twenty years ago, bought fat COW
of William Barker for which he paid
$75. The extent to which diversified
farming in this vicinity has obtained
In late years may be seen by the d.
versity of the farm products mar
keted In this city. While consider
able grain is sent off, wheat no longer
constitutes the largest amount, but
oats, rye barley, fax and corn consti-
tute each large shipment. Vegeta-
bles-potatoes, onions, turnips, cab
bages. carrots, parsnips, beets and
beans,-add considerable to the vol
ume Of railroad freight, aud cattle,
| sheep and hogs in great numbers
shipped give an intimation that i'm
mense quantities of the land products
have gone for raising and fattening
| these live animals for market. The
| cultivation of grasses for the hay
market have also found profitable re-
turns until within the last two or
three years the great reduction in the
price Of hay discouraged this feature
OF farming for shipment. The early
settlers in this part of the state
thought the land and the climate
would not favor the cultivation Of
ANYTHING but the small grains. Corn
was not raised except by a few on
sandy soils, and tame grasses did not
thrive on the new land.

An exchange truthfully remarks
that no sensible man should ever get
mad because a newspaper man duns
him for money. A dun is not an i'm
parchment of a subscribers integrity,
but an outcropping of the publishers
necessity. For instance, 500 men
owe him from 81 to 81 each. He has
to dun them all in order to pay ex-
penses. Instead Of getting angry
and stopping his paper for what is
honestly due, the subscriber should
thank the editor for waiting on him
so patiently, and pay up like man.

HE MINOR VIRTUES AND THEIR IMPORT
ANcE. Phil 8; 1914; 1: S; MATT. 5: IS.
If We were to attempt 10 classify virtues aud
TO call one class minor and the other major we
would find at cRce that We were temrtng a
difficult task, for virtue that m ght be called
a minor virtue IN one case or at one time might
be one of great Importance at some her time
or in another case. For instance to have a
great number of slaves was considered great
virtue number of years ago, but to-day we
do not think Of keeping even one.
We might think Of minor virtues as being
those that come in the little matters of every
day life. The power to guard against the little
temptations aud to overcome them is virtue
which should be cultivated and, as Paul told
the Philippians, those things that are true
honest, just, pure, lovely and Of good report
must receive our careful attention. five wish
to be truly virtuous we must forget those hurt
full experiences which we have passed throug h
and be able TO say as Paul did, II press toward
the mark for the prize of the high calling Of
God in Christ Jesus and remember the COM
mand OF Christ BE We therefore perfect even
as your Father which is in heaven is perfect
