PLIGHT OF THE AGRARIANs

It is remarked in Germany that if the
agrarians had their way, the foreign
trade Of Germany would be confined to
the planet Mars. But the chances are
that the agrarians are, going to have their
way-or, at least, very large part of it.
AS a matter of fact, the German land
owner is in desperate plight. The British
land owner is or has been in much the
same plight. 1t is the plight that land
owners and agriculturalists will find
themselves in in all countries that, after
having been chiefly agricultural, become
chiefly manufacturing. The difference be-
tween Germany and England is that the
agrarians of The latter country were long
ago beaten and cowed. The manufacture
ing interests triumphed and the nation
made up it's mind to adjust the national
policy to suit them instead Of the farmers
The bitter struggle is now on in Germany
The agrarians are making a last des-
perate stand. The proposed tariff law is
designed for Them No thought is given
to the manufacturers. The latter are
looking to the foreign trade and would
prefer low tariffs in all foodstuffs. But as
nothing but command of the domestic
market can keep the land owners from
ruin, they are determined to get it at
any cost ....-..-

The SUNDAY SALOON

l If there We're no more of evil associated
with the sale Of liquor than there is with
! the sale of bread or any other article OF
merchandise, and the sale of liquor were
prohibited on Sunday, yet, in common
with many other prohibited acts, the sale
were quietly carried on on that day, would
there be any serious complaint, or any
more objection to such sale than we hear
about Sunday street cars, Sunday news
papers, Sunday railroad trains, Sunday
telegraph and Sunday telephone service,
and Sunday other things that are known
to exist?
If not, then it must be that the evils
| attending the sale of liquor are what most
concern the public and should receive the
most earnest attention of the mayor every
hour Of the day and every day Of the
week. If experience teaches us that an
attempt at technical and strict enforce
ment Of one phase of the law on any ona
day of the week, for any reason, or with
out reason, aggravates these evils, then
ought not that extreme tension to be
avoided for the sake of the general good?
The end and the object of the law
against the Sunday saloon is to reduce the
evils Of liquor selling to the minimum,
not to swell them to the maximum, and
it is not the part of wisdom to enforce
to the letter a law regulating personal
habits, when to do so increases the evils
which it is sought to suppress. 1t is the
spirit and purport of the law which makes
it's life.
In seeking the unattainable we often
sacrifice much good that really lies with
in our reach. To reduce the amount of
drinking, shield the minor, suppress drug
ging and robbery, and by rigid enforce
ment of the law close up the disorderly
saloon every day in the year, is of more
vital Importance to society than whether
man is able, quietly and without CIV
ing offense to others, to buy and drink
glass of beer on the first day Of the
week. How long must the pendulum
swing from one extreme to the other,
when middle course makes for progress
in the suppression of all the evils that
follow in the train of the Liquor traffic and
the liquor habit? Where is the wisdom
that comes from experience and teaches
us that the enforcement of all sumptu-
airy laws must be adjusted with some ref
erence to human nature as we'll as to
human reason? $685.

UTILIZATION OF BEET WASTE
From a Report by Frank H Mason, Consu
General at Berlin

FROM q Report by Frank H. Mason Consul
General at Berlin.
In the early years of German beet culture
the utilization of these secondary products
attracted relatively small attention. Agrcul-
tural science was busy with the task OF i'm
proving the quality of the beet itself in
creasing the percentage of saccharine ele-
ments in the pulp and augmenting the WELD
OF beets per hectare. 1t was soon discovered
that the spent pulp from the sugar factories
was a most valuable food for cattle; that by
drying, it could be preserved for use through
out the winter; and that by adding to the
dried pulp the waste molasses, the feed was
not only rendered more palatabe for AMI
mails, but, being fed on the farm the potash
of the syrup retained on the premises
and restored to the land in the form of stable
teachings and manure.
For a number of years waste beet molasses
in this country was either exported to France
or Spain or was used here raw material
Cor the manufacture of alcohol the potash
salts being in that case recovered and re-
stored TO the land as separate chemical fer
tilizer. But the internal revenue laws Of
Germany so shaped as to favor the pro-
auction Of alcohol large scale and at
small cost from potatoes. that the spirit
manufacture from beet molasses was gradu-
ally abandoned and the waste syrup used for
feed. Germany is country with limited gra-
zing facilities; vast quantities of corn are
of nutriment for cattle, horses or swine is
costly, when compared with the prices Of
similar materials in the United States. For
this reason, principally. the home production
of meat in this country is, and will probably
remain, far behind the needs of the people.
Spent beet pulp enriched with waste molasses
helped, therefore, to meet pressing want,
and the crude syrup is now worth for this
purpose 475 to 4.S0 marks (S1.13 to Sill per
100 Kilograms 600 pounds) in carload lots.
That similar conditions will obtain in the
United States, where pasture, hay, corn, and
all forms of food for animals are abundant
and cheap, is hardly probable. But the beet
sugar producers IN our country should start
out with the idea that nothing that comes
from the land should be wasted or prevented
from sooner or later returning to it. 1t may
be long before the rich virgin soil of Ameri-
can beet farms will be reduced to the condi
ton of the worn fields Of Europe, where the
Strctest balance must be maintained between
the chemical elements harvested in crop and
returned to it by skllful rotation OF cultures
and scientific fertilization But our country
has as yet no native potash minerals, and II
our growing beet sugar industry is to make
the NEST Of it's advantages and opportunities
it cannot afford to neglect the scientific meth
DDS which have been found most effective in
Europe in conserving to the utmost practical
degree the strength and vitality Of the soil.

The Nonpareil Man
."The; Boy wonder pried Loose.


Mack the Boy Wonder has been show
ing at the Wi]lmar opera-house and the Will
mar Gazette was disappointed. Mack claims
to possess a mysterious power that prevents
any one from lifting him from the ground
when he wills otherwise. Mack made ready
and Willed to stay on the bottom Martin
lew, the volunteer hero of the Googoo war
annexed himself to the Boy WorGer and the
latter came off the earth like harefoo.ad
colored man stepping on redhot horseshoe
The audience hollered and Mack was mysti
fled Then the Wonder made himself rigid
again and Peter Freeburg got under him,
grunted once or twice and Mack was again
parted from the earth with great apparent
ease. Another loud cutlery arose and Mack
was surprised and disappointed.
After this performance Mack gave an extra
exhibition in the Merchants Hotel lobby at
which the Willmar Gazette says he made
good most of lis claims to distinction. Strong
men spat upon their hands and nearly rup-
tured blood vessels trying to pry the Wonder
loose but he stuck to the floor like porous
plaster to the breast of a strong man after
its work is done.
Various athletes took tug at him but
had no more effect than the efforts of a hot
air furnace during the cold snap. Some
thought the Wonder had his shoes screwed
to the floor but Investigation proved other-
wise The mystery of the failure at the
opera-house remai ms unexplained Martin
Few declares that the Boy was lifted as easy
as Philippine chicken by army corps.
Anyhow it gave evening of great sport
to the young men of Willmar and nobody was
hurt. ..,. 49, ~.

WEEDS AS PLANTS

Theodore Dresser in Ainsee's.
Railways are highways no less for the pro-
gressive weed than for man. Seeds drop
from cars and from the clothes of passengers
all along the line. The most prolific weeds,
particularly the Russian thistle, have been
introduced at widely separated points through
out the United States almost simultaneously
by this means They come in straw used for
packing, and in grain not perfectly cleaned.
The country towns that received the freight
are breeding-paces and the men who handle
it are carriers. The weeds get everywhere
because the seds survive long and are
equipped to cling and travel By centuries
of struggle they have acquired the ability to
adapt themselves to almost any quality Of
soil or to any kind of atmosphere. They
earn their right to live by the most hardy
efforts. No plant Of culture could ever en-
dure the knocks which they receive and sur
vive: Heat cold, drought, frost, soggy rains
unnatural soils, all afiict the travelling seed
by turns. Yet it will face the situation, dig
deep, reach high, even change it's diet and
its very nature before it will give up the
struggle. That it should be Of some use is
a long-delayed but just conclusion of science.
The outlaw of the fruitful fields is to-day
most often the helper and savior OF the arid
way. Equipped with powerful constitution
and giant energy, the worst Of the weeds
may readily become the best Of plants.

The Coronation Parade,

London, JAM 15.-Everything that we can
gather about the coronation seems to show
that it is going to be the finest bit of grand
opera on which the lime-lght of history has
been turned since the stately days of the
great Elizabeth. First in the line will ride
the mounted police under command Of the
British Brother Fred, then the Beefeaters and
Big Mitt men in full regalia, after which a
brass band of go pieces will empty a few
shiploads of noise into the streets. In the
wake Of this noise will float Whiteaw Reid in
knlckerbockers, followed by the three official
Willy Wetmores Of Newport. R. L., and
Washington, doing two-step and cutting
shines t. make the children laugh Following
these didos will come the foreign ambassa-
doris. AS St James square is reached Mr..
Reid sings a sclo Just Because I Love You
So and the foreign ambassadors all join in
the chorus. Then come the bishops. houses
of lords and commons. and Mr.. and Mrs.
Bradley Martin, provided they able to get
their tickets.
Behind them ride the king and queen in
their coronation robes closely followed by
the Jack and TensDot on foot. The official
Ninespot, bearing the mace, follows on foot.
l. In the next division are the troops from
South Africa. with the dents of war still
fresh on their persons. More bands will spill
noise along the line of march from this point
in the parade. Then come the fire engines
and hose cart of the city Of London. After
the parade the engines and hose cart will
make the down Rotten Row.
We have secured seat on a house-top and
intend to see the whole parade. Direct all
letters from now on to us, care of the Ameri-
