A WORD FOR THE HUsBANDMAN
WRITTEN FOR THE BEE.

" I watch the farmer at his toll, Early and late. with scarce stop, From planting time till autumn's crop. Faithfully caring for his stock, That help him we'll in daily work. Companions mute, they know his voice, And near him beast and bird rejoice. 'Tis kindness meets with ready need" And they each other help to feed. And marks the improvement by his hand. With faith and energy will work, Nor for small drawback will he shirk. If one year prove for him not good, The next d greater income prove. Resources great when understood, Within the farm. each rod and rood. Swamp land so rich, when once reclaimed, Fruits grain and grasses sure will grow, When cultivated right, we know. All to the husbandman must come, For food supply, for hearth and home. A king among men doth he stand. With power, if known. at his command. Should all from such provision cease. Where would be then. of life the Tease; Since first from Eden's bowers driven. Was man by sin thrown out of Heaven. Still was there left him for his labor. The land to till, the Lords great favor. Experience taught him, why. and how, That he should live ''by sweat of brow, ," In due time share another Eden When pardOning grace to him was given. The earth to all doth yield increase; Who with the tOiling. earn the feast. Temperance in all things. the great need, That we may soul and bodies feed. Our bodies keep in good repair,

Our people may well feel proud of the little folks for they certainly did themselves full credit.

HELPS THE EXPORT SITUATION
nhe Rate on Export Wheat and
Flour Will Be More Nearly
on II Parity Than
at Present.

AT the meeting held in Chicago yester-
day the millers of the Northwest were
granted a concession in the rate made of
export flour. Heretofore the rate demand
ed by the roads from Minneapolis to
New York was % cents per 100, a conces-
sion of 212 cents per 100 was made, so thar
the export rate on flour in the future will
be on the basis of 221@ cents per 100 from
Minneapolis to New York, all rail
1t is presumed that this relative differ
ence between export and domestic rate
OF 2l2 cents will obtain on the lake and
rail rates when they are named. The
millers feel good over the concession, al
though il was not quite as much as they
anticipated. 1t will also in measure en-
able them to meet some of the competl-
ton Of foreign flour made out of Amer1-
can wheat This is the strong poin which
they made before the railroad Interests
that were represented at the meeting
it is understood that the roads will not

large stone that evidently had been
used by some assailant, as blood was
found upon it,
1t was difficult for the police to secure
any information from Schula last even

the effects of liquor. What he did tell the
police leads them to believe that a bold
piece OF highway robbery had been com
mitted.
Schula was positive in the statement
that he had $50 in his pockets early in the
evening, but this was not found upon him
at the hospital. He is not able to tell
any thing about how he was hurt. but
the appearance of the stone is conclusive
