No Stamps Needed.
The UNION is in receipt of a circular
from the deputy revenue collector of
this district which settles a point
which has been in doubt. As
there has been some diver
sity of opinion in the matter of
stamping grain or produce tickets is
sued by buyers to farmers upon the
purchase of grain or other produce,
the collector for, this districtsubmitted
the question to the commissioner of
internal revenue for a further ruling,
and his reply under date of Sept. 18th,
1899, is as follows:
I'm reply you are advised that grain
tickets cashed by a regular employe of
the company issuing the same, and di
rectly to the party in whose favor they
are drawn, do not require to be
stamped, but if cashed by a bank Or
otherwise negotiated, and paid to par
ties other than those in whose favor
they we're originally drawn, they re-
quire a two-cent stamp. This Office
holds that neither bank, nor a
banker, nor clerk in a bank can be a
regular employe within the meaning
of the above ruling, no matter whether
funds are placed in their hands speci-
fcally for the purpose of cashing grain
tickets. If a person issuing grain
tickets arranges with some merchant
to cash these tickets, said merchant
would be considered a regular en-
ploye of the person issuing the tick
ets.''
This effectually settles the question
for the present, and until it is changed
or modified by the commissioners.

Diversified Farming.

The farmers of Minnesota have long
since learned the lesson of profit in di
versi6ed farming, and each year finds
them less dependent on the wheat crop
than the predecessor. Wheat is a
good crop, an easily produced crop and
profitable crop-when you get it,
Unfortunately, however, it is not a re-
liable crop, either as to the certainty
of results or the price obtainable.
The extent of the crop must depend al
most solely upon weather conditions,
while the price is often fixed, not by
the proper law of supply and demand,
but by manipulators in the stock mar
ket and dealers in Futures Mainly
for these reasons the farmers of Min
nesota are raising less wheat than
formerly, as compared to other pro-
ducts, and the stock and dairy farm is
taking the place of the bonanza wheat
farm. -, ! ID. .:-.. r.. -.
It is only necessary for one to make
the rounds at the agricultural:b building
at the State fair for one to be shown
the vast agricultural resourcessof Min
nesota. Anything that will grow in
any soil in q northern climate will
grow in Minnesota too, and grow too,
in such abundance as to make Its pro-
duction profitable. The display. Of
fruits, for instance, shows that fruit
growing, contrary to all reconceived
ideas, can be carried on protitably
here. With the. prices now obtainable
and with the specimens Of live stock
on exhibition, it is clear that the man
who has a we'll equipped Minnesota
stock farm has better fortune than
he, who owns a Klondike gold mine.
And even the humble, clucking. hen
