FOR THE LEGISLATURE.

| Republicans of the 57th Legislative
district will need no eHpecial urging
mot to forget the Legislative ticket in
| the battle of the ballots this fall
The re- election of United STAGES Sen
ator Knute Nelson is desideratum
SO vital to the people of this district
that apathy in this regard could hard
| ly be imagined. No public man in
the state is nearer or better known to
the voters here than the sturdy junior
senator of the North Star state. AS
a Scandinavian American, he is the
pride of his fellow -countrymen, and
as statesmen, he has taken his
place among the leaders Of the een-
ate. Yet the Democrats have no
fonder hope than the defeat OF this
favorite exponent of Republicanism,
and that hope could be realized by
the election in Minnesota of Demo
cratic legislature. How vital is it
then that the 57th district do it's part
toward the reelection of Senator Mel
son bv sending Messrs. 81. K. Nelson
and j. T. Schain to the legislature.
Both gentlemen are sensible,
thorough-going business MEN, whose
presence IN the state house of repre-
sentatiyes will be credit to the dis
trict. Mr.. Schain has behind him a
creditable record in the legislature
of two years ago, and it is remark
able fact that the Democrats, with all
their facilities for manufacturing
campaign material, have not even
tried to impugn his record. Mr..
Nelson is new man in Legislative
| work, but it is fair to say that from
one of his ability, honesty and
thorough knowledge of the needs OF
the state and of the district, much
May be expected.
For the gentlemen of the opoosi-
ton, Republicans express satisfaction
with their personal qualities, but lack
of confidence in their political belief
Yet even in the former q danger
turks. Solicitation on the part o1
each for complimentary vote, will
if scceded to, dangerously weaken
the Republican strength. The issue
is frought with too much moment tc
be even for moment considered
Complimentary votes" have before
this reversed an overwhelming ma
jority, and the trick is too old: to
catch the people of the 57th district
Messrs. Nelson and Schsin must be
elected, both because of their own
worth and because Of the bearing
which their election has on the re-
election of Senator Nelson.
Morris tribune., 1900-10-13

Voters should understand fully
that vote for Messrs. Nelson and
Schain is direct endorsement OF
Senator Nelson's career. A vote for
the opposing candidate means again
for any candidate in opposition to

The Use of Lime.

Though not, strictly speaking, q
manure, lime is unquestionably val
liable agent in agriculture. 1t fulfls
an important function in the soil. In
truth, it is indispensable to the success
full utilization of land. Some classes
of soils may be naturally 80 rich in
lime as to render artificial application
unnecessary or even highly undesir-
able, but assuredly if soil does not
include lime in its chemical contents
then it becomes duty to supply it in
the form OF a top dressing. The pre-
else and full actions of lime chiefly
concern the chemist, whose place it is
to study and elucidate the chemical
changes that the various artificial dress
iDgs produce. The farmer will seek to
peer no deeper into the mysteries of
the soil than he will have practical re-
sults 10 guide him. III regard to lime
especially, no scientific knowledge is
necessary in order to learn of and to
appreciate its economic merits.
Practical demonstrations of its high
agricultural value are plentiful and
pronounced. The action of lime is
beneficial in twofold sense. 1t oper-
ates usefully in setting free and rem
dering available for the plants certain
other constituents in the soil, and thus,
if it possesses little or no manurial
value itself, it has the power to quail
ify other soil ingredients for absorp-
ton by the roots of crops. Lime is
also very effectual purifying and
sweetening agent. On deep soils, rich
in the cherished humus or decayed
vegetable matters, lis health-giving
and indirect fertilizing Influences are
particularly noticeable, whether the
land is still under the plough or laid
down to permanent grass. AS we
have seen from many recent expert
ments, too, lime is the only substance
which has been in the least degree eff
fectual in checking the ravages of fin
ger and toe in turnips. Having regard
to the beneficial functions of lime it is
quite probable, as arecent writer points
out, that it is not 80 Systematically en-
ployed in this country as it ought to be.
To procure the best results and at the
same time to obviate risk of injury
from an excess of lime, it is well to OBJ
serve that its frequent application in
small quantities rather than large
dressings at long intervals is generally

Can Farmers Fix Prices?

AS to the farmer fixing his prices,
we find that in coming to town with his
products TO sell he comes into contact
with the merchant or dealer, who
makes it his special purpose to drive
the bargain to his personal advantage.
In sense we can hardly blame him.
He does not sit down and count the
cost of producing a bushel of corn, a
pound of meat or butter. No; but he
knows to q dollar his own expenses,
and how the retail market is; then what
he terms reasonable per cent of pro-
fit he must have, which being mentally
summed up, he then with safety to
himself proposes his terms. Occasion
ally he may miss his market, but that
is all calculated upon. Then, again,
the merchants generally have an un-
Outstanding among themselves as to
prices; farmers rarely, if ever, do COM
bine. While talking one day to mer-
chant who deals in farm and dairy pro-
ducts, a farmer drove up and addressed
the merchant thus: "What will you
give me for my potatoes? l don't
know the market price; have made no
inquiries. What will you give?" In
looking at the potatoes the merchant
pronounced them very small, but with
an eve to business and profit made an
offer, which was at once accepted. In
my humble opinion, if that farmer had
only picked three or four bushels of the
small ones out OF the ten, then with the
six or seven bushels of good sized ones
left, had canvassed the dealers in town,
getting posted, he could as easily have
got as much money, if not more, TO
take home, and still had the small pc
tatoes for feed.-John Bethune in
Coleman's Rural World.

Dairying in Denmark.

An English newspaper prints the ar
ticles of association of one of the CO.
operative diaries in Denmark. There
are now about one thousand of these
in Denmark, and 100000 pounds of
butter are exported annually. Of the
nineteen rules these are specially worth
considering by American dairymen:
Members are bound to feed their cat
tie in such way that the milk possess
es no bad flavor. Cabbages, turnip
tops, kohlrabi tops must never be given
to COWS. Turnips, kohlrabi, potatoes,
rye, vetches, beans, as we'll as sun
flower seed cake, earthnut cake, and
such foods are not absolutely prohibit
ed, but when such feeding materials
are given the member using them must
notify the fact to the dairyman, in Or
der that special attention may be given
to the quality OF the milk. If the milk
or cream or butter is detrimentally
favored thereby the dairyman notifies
the member, and if there is no improve
ment the dairyman may refuse 10 re-
ceive the milk. The chairman and the
dairyman can at any time prohibit the
use of any fodder considered unsatis-
factory. Any member who infringes
such a pr hibition shall be fined from
%. Sd. to lis. per COW, and pay the
damage occasioned as estimated by the
chairman, accountant and dairyman.
If Infectious disease breaks out in
any members family, or among his
stock, the member must cease to de-
liver milk to the dairy until the disease
has disappeared and his farm been
properly disinfected. In the event of
sickness among the staff of the dairy,
the dairyman shall have the sick per-
son removed Immediately, and the
dairy must be dsinfected. Any in
frineement of this clause shall be pun
lshed by fine up to Go.

Deep Planting of Potatoes.

A neighbor furrowed his potato
ground before planting last spring, and
the yield was somewhat phenomenal,
considering the lack of rain. He rails
ed 1875 bushels of remart ably fine Car
mems and Nonesuch from one acre of
wheat stubble. His yield was at least
30 per cent better than the average,
both in quality and quantity. In sea-
sons like the one just past there seems
to remain no doubt of the advantage
of deeper planting, but the question is,
Will it pay in ordinary seasons? In
1888 began farming, and raised my
first crop of potatoee, which has since
proved to be the best. The ground YVES
marked and then furrowed one way
with shovel plow. The potatoes grew
remarkably, yielding 200 bushels an
acre of splendid tubers. The season
was not a droughty one, either. Since
then l swung in line with other grow
ers, and planted shallow, but have
never equaled my initiel effort at po-
tato growing. The season of 1895 was
one of remarkable potato yields
throughout the country, and my soil
was equal to that of 1888, yet the yield
was considerably below it.
1t is a well-known fact that the new
tubers form above the seed, and if the
latter is planted even with the genera
surface, as is often done, the potatoes
must have to grow above the surface,
or in the ridge of earth made by hill
ing. OF course, the roots will grow
downward, but only to depth cores
ponding to that of planting. In a
drouth how can severe dearth of
moisture at the depth of the roots be
averted? Now, suppose the marking
is four or five inches deep. The seed
is placed at that depth and there is a
chance for the tubers to form below
the general level. The roots cannot be
expected to 90 much below the depth
of blowing, 80 this would have to be
at least six or seven inches. A differ
ence of four inches in depth is often
the difference between needed sup
ply of moisture and very deficient
one. The shovel pillow burrows in
killing would not need to be so deep
with deeper planting, and the suns
rays would not act 50 directly to dry
moisture out of the bills. No more
markers would be needed than under
the old way. The corn marker can be
used one way and one with only two
plows the last time. BY passing
twice in each mark uniformity of
depth is secured, which is as important
as the depth itself.-C. M. d., in New
York Tribune.

AGRICULTURAL.
Prevalence of AdulteratiOn.


The investigation conducted during
the last GUNNER by Senate investiga-
ton committee, of which Senator Ma
son of Illinois is chairman showed that
nearly all articles of food are, in one
way or another, adulterated. Chemist
Wiley, of the Department of Agricul-
ture, testified that above rs per cent of
food products were adulterated. Adult
teration has become very rife. There
is more shoddy sold than people think.
A prominent druggist tells me that it
is almost impossible to get pure drugs.
Physicians tell me that one of the most
serious problems confronting them in
their practice rises from the fact that
they can never tell how much the drugs
that go into their prescriptions have
been adulterated. Adulteration of
clothing and of drugs is general and
serious enough; it is certainly as gen.
eral in the case of food, and much more
serious. Adulteration of mans cloth
ing cannot affect his health, as can
adulteration of his food; and while not
many need take drugs, and those that
must need take them ordinarily for
only short time, all must eat, and eat
every day. The adulteration of food
products is a constant menace TO the
public health. In an address before the
Farmers National Congress at its re-
cent annual meeting II. G. Adams,
Dairy and Food Commissioner of Wis
consin said:
"Healthy people can stand con-
siderable poison and survive the
consumption of indigestible food; but
babies and invalids, of which we have
several millions in this country, who
are quite dear to US, should be protect
ed by stringent laws from the danger
Gus greed of men who are willing to
triAe with human life in order to make
money. Recently in Wisconsin city
an infant was treated for six weeks by
skilful physician, who was puzzled
by an obscure malady. Finally he
caused test to be made of the cows
milk used by the child. 1t was found
to contain boracic acid. The milk was
changed and the child recovered, al
though it had been at the point of
DEATH"
Adulteration lowers the price of what
the farmer has to sell. Oleomargarine
sold as butter lowers the price of but
ter; butter and butte inc mixed lowers
the price of pure butter; cottonseed oil
mixed with lard lowers the price of
lard; adulteratiug wheat flour with
corn flour lowers the price of wheat {;
adulterating buckwheat meal with mid
dlings lowers the price of buckwheat;
adulterating maple syrup lowers the
price of the real article; cream is re.
placed with lard in milk and made into
cheese to ruin the demand for and
slaughter the price of pure cheese
honey that never came from bees less
ems the price of real honey; jellies that
are not what they purport to be lower
the price of fruits; and 80 on, to the
end of very long list. Above all
other men, the farmer is most hurt in
his pocket by food adulteration. He is
hurt in both what he buys and what he
sells.-John NJ. Stahl in Country Gen
tleman.
