\ new theory of longevity has made
it's appearance. "a man has definite
number of waking hours allotted to
him. says the originator of the idea
and the fewer he used up the longer
will his life last. If, therefore he is
content to sleep for most of his days
there Is no reason why he should not
live for 200 years" He adduces the
cases of the negroes as an illustration
The chances are that the only truth in
this theory is the well recognized fact
that less than eight hours sleep is not
sufficient for most mortals. and that
those who habitually take less shorten
their lives by so doing.

The Selection of Seed.

1t may be truthfully said that if poor
seed is used, thorough tillage and fertile
soil cannot remedy the defect. Like
will surely produce like. | am not in
favor of frequently changing seed. II
we find what is suited to our soil and
climate, let us improve the quality and
increase the quantity by careful selec-
ton and better tillage. As to corn. it
is good plan to select the very best
ears at husking time there should be
three times as much as is needed, and
it should be perfectly dry. In selecting
seed, pick out the large ears, but be still
more particular about the grain, which
should be large, deep, clear and bright.
Although We may SOW few oats, we
should use great care as to seed in order
to have a good yield and fine quality -
Seed wheat should be graded so that all
small, light, inferior grains are taken
out | have known farmers to SOW
little more wheat, and lot the inferior
grains 60, not for one moment thinking
that the small grains are just as good
for feeding purposes, and that the poor
grains grow and over-crowd the best
plants. What is true of oats and wheat
is true of grass seed; nothing but the
very best should bo sown, free from all
seeds Of weeds, for we oil have enough
weeds without sowing them With good
seed in our fields, sown at the proper
time, cultivated thoroughly, and har-
vested promptly, we have done our part
toward an abundant harvest Louis

Improvement in Farming.

This is an age of improvement on the
farm, as we'll as in other kinds Of bust
ness. The farmer must read and study.
aud be awake to everything that will ad-
vance his interests, in order to keep at
the front, and he must be there in order
to succeed. 1t is utterly useless to try
to farm as our grandfathers did, il we
are to keep up with the procession 1t is
good economy to purchase new and i'm
proved implements if we use judgment
in buying. We may just as well ride
on spring seat in blowing or harrow,
ing rs to wear ourselves out 10 walking
day after day behind the team. On no
account should an implement be pur-
chased unless it can be housed when not
in actual use. Hemlock boards and shin
giles are far cheaper than Implements,
and it is economy to have a tool shed
Judgment is to be used in the breeding
and feeding Of stock, that the farmer
may possess something really valuable
and worth showing to his friends, be.
cause this is the stock that it pays t.
keep l. Dow in Epitomist.

ECONOMY IN FARM HELP.

The farmer who hires help to perform
work that he or his boys have ample
time to do, is not econ omical unless the
hired help can do so much more or so
much better work than the employer,
that to work with him would be but q
hindrance to him for the old saying is
that "the slowest horse sets the pace for
the team" and we have seen two men
doing less than one could have done,
because the hired man did not feel right
to work faster than the "boss." But
there is another system Of false coon
omy that is much more frequently seen,
which is the failure to employ help
when it is needed. Sometimes this is
unavoidable because in farming section
help cannot always be obtained at day 8
notice, but the farmer should fOresee
these things and provide for them.
There are times when one days work
of two men will accomplish as much as
four days work of one man, and do
more good, for during the last three
days the weeds may be destroying the
crop or the crop may be losing in value.
Not to employ help at such time is to
lose more than the wages. 1t is better
to call out fire company to save the
building than to lose it by one man
working alone. 1t is better for the
farmer to employ some one to help him
a few days than to overwork so that he
must spend week or month on the
sick bed. To make the story short, it
is better to have a little more help than
is needed to do the work than o little
less than enough to it we'll. In cotton
mills they used to have what was called
"spare hand" who did not work half
the time some days, but who was COM
petent to gil the place of any man sick
or absent in any department. He might
not be called upon to work more than
few hours in the week, but his wages
were as high any other of the help, and
higher than many. The farmer should
be the "spaie hand" himself when pos
sible. Cultivator.

Frequent Narrowing.

Plow deep and harrow frequently.
Narrowing has great influence on the
growth of crop In experiments inside
with grass it was demonstrated that on
those portions Of fields where the harrow
was used Eve or six times in order to
make the soil rs fine as possible, the
growth was much better than where
only one or two borrowings we're given
The use of the harrow frequently on
other crops has given equally as good
results Some farmers are of the opin-
ion that it pays to 60 over field a
dozen times with the harrow, aud that
it is equal to the application Of manure
There is a gain Of plant food. however,
in an available form. as the harrow, by
making the particles Of soil finer, pre-.

Grazing does harm to pastures il the
cattle are permitted to cat too closely Of
the grass. Weeds in pastures indicate
that damage is being done by cattle,
because Of the fact that the animals re-

ture become infested with weeds NOV

the grass has an opportunity TO grow

TREND OF TRADE
Reported daily by Edwards, Wood 90,
Room n Hunt Building.

The following market letter is fur
nished by Edwards. Wood q Co.,
Grain Commission Merchants, ITO
Chamber of Commerce, Minneapolis !;
$40 Board fssTrade, Duluth.
The wheat market is gradually
working up and now looks very much
like q bull market. The advances are
evidently made by buying for the long
account and not by shorts covering.
Little attention is paid to bear news !;
declines are quick and advances slow
and steady, all of which indicates
higher prices. Trading has been on
very large scale and the Armour in
fiuence is very apparent, the best
opinion is that the Armour company
buys enough wheat to steady the
market on very little dip in the price
We are strongly of the opinion that
prices will be carried considerably
higher, probably to 80 cents for May
wheat, and this whether conditions
Justify such prices or not. However,
we are not saying that conditions do
not Justify so cents for May wheat,
but on the, contrary believe that they
do Justify it. Perhaps the most bear
ish feature in sight is the near harvest
of the Argentine crop which promises
to yield q surplus of over gu. 600 600
bushels of good wheat for export. This
influence is not new one as Argen-
tine wheat has been offered in Liver
pool for January February shipment
for some weeks past. The strength
of the situation in the northwest is on
account of the very widespread de-
mand for wheat of good quality to
mix with wheat of lower grades. and
the probability that the movement has
passed the maximum, and that receipts
of northwestern spring wheat, and
Canadian wheat, will decrease from
this time. 1t has lately been reported
that stocks of the northwestern in
terror elevators are vrey low, and it
| is certain that stocks at Minneapolis
and Duluth are less than one-half of
what they were last year also that
stocks of both coasts are very low.
Since Last Friday clearances have been
moderate, but sales for export have
been good. Duluth reports very
sharp demand for wheat for shipment.
The circumstances are such that 1t
will not be difficult for a. stronger and
skilIful leader to put prices much
higher, and we are of the opinion that
the Armour company is such leader.
We are strongly in favor of purchases
of the deferred futures at the present
level of prices, and especially on every
little decline.
