depression and the beginning Of a new
era in trade and industry. The stu
pendous growth of the country during
the last half decade has been discussed
from every point Of view. but the daily
financial statement of the treasury de-
partment gives one Of the best posi-
BILE measures of the nauonal progress
in business and commerce. One index
of this progress is found in the treas
ury's stock of gold. This stock. which
is far larger than any other in the
world. has been increasing with phe-
nomenal strides during the last ear
The trust funds in the treasury have
increased within the last few days
to almost 5000. 00b In 1897. a
month or so after the Inauguration of
Mckinley. these funds we're less than
$4,000 900. The stock of gold in the
United States treasury in April of
1897 was only $1S1 200. 900. 1t has now
reached the enormous total of $641,-
900, 600. Six years ago the stock of
silver in the treasury was about $5O3,-
900. 000; now it is $500. 00O. 900. The
total stock of gold and silver in the
treasury has increased since the late
Mr.. McKinley's accession to the presi-
dency from seas, 900. 900 to $1.141, OOO,-
900. OF course. these figures are too
large to be comprehended. but the
comparison is an obvious illustration
of the wonderful growth of the coun-
try. The most remarkable fact in
connection with the circulation of the
United States is the enormous in
crease in the use of gold coin, or its
equivalent, gold certificates. In the
middle of the year 1897 the issue of
gold certificates-that is. paper money
issued against gold coin and bullion
impOunded in the treasury-was only
$3S.S43, 1859. Now these certificates
aggregate $409, S39. O69. Besides the
gold reserve of $4,000. 900 there is
gold coin in the treasury amounting
to more than $4O9. 900. OOO-and this
does not include the enormous amounts
in active circulation throughout the
country.

THE COST OF LIVING.

In a recent number of Dunn's Re
view is an article upon the present
cost of living in the United States, as
compared with previous years. from
1860 down. The basis of Dunn's recek-
oning in these articles is the Index
number" a number arrived at by TAX
ing the wholesale prices of hundreds
of articles which enter into ordinary
domestic consumption. The Index
number" computed from such data.
means the actual cost TO each individ-
a years supply of the necessaries of
life.
The Index number" for March LOS,
is S1O1 .O67. In 1860. the year from
which these computations date, the in
dex number was $121.63. The highest
point ever attained was during the
civil war, September l, 1864, when the
same quantity of the same articles
cost $312.731. Since that time there
have been few abnormal fluctuations.
but there has been a general and
steady decline in the level of prices.
as improvements in methods have de-
creased the cost of production. In the
early '90s the normal level of prices
represented by the index number was
about 95. With the commencement of
the hard times in 1893 there was an
accelerated decline in prices, due to
the widespread industrial depression.
until on July I. 1897, the lowest re-
corded level of s72.455 was reached.
Since that time the tendency has been
upward. The present level is not,
however. SO far above the normal level
of the early '90s as the prices of 1897
were below that level.
From these figures it appears that.
Of the articles of general use which
under the American standard of living
are called the n~acessaries of life, it
now takes SOL OCT to purchase as

are almost as useful to point a moral
says the Seattle Post Intelligencer, as
the story of the man who once could
have purchased the town of Austin,
Texas. for an old pair of boots. but
lacked the boots. From them the
wage Garner car readily see how
much better he could have Jared in
1896 than he does now. if he only had
had the price at that time. There
should BIZ murh consolation to him
while considering the enhanced cost
of living, in the fact that he has the

EXPERIMENT WITH GRASSES.
Botanical Department Of the Expert.
ment Station Will Make Tests Of
Grasses and Fodder Plants.


Prof. Waldron of the state expert
ment station says: The botanical
department OF the experiment station
has recently begun a series of trials
and experiments with various kinds
of grasses and forage plants. The
work is being done in cooperation
with the L. S. department of agricul-
ture. 1t is desired to obtain plants,
either grasses or legumes. that will be
successful in meeting the demands of
the semi-arid portions of the state and
also to obtain those suited to the
moister portion of the state. There are
qualities that these grasses ought to
possess to be suitable to the major
the ability to resist drought: second
the ability to withstand the winters;
third the production of abundant for
age material and fourth the production
OF an abundance of seed. 1t is at once
seen that the production of an ideal
forage plant is beset with many diff
culties. A plant might be obtained
that would %nrodnrn an of
fodder and seed but perhaps it would
be unable to resist a long period of dry
weather or unable to withstand our
long winters.
1t is possible to produce a good
forage plant in two ways. One way
Is to bring plants here that have been
grown for this purpose in other re-
gions. Another way is to take our W
native plants and by c%ultivating and
breeding these to develop a plant that
Will meet the necessary conditions.
The last method has striking advant-
ages. Our native plants already know
how to withstand our winters and re-
sist our droughts. We will work in
great measure with our native plants.
We have a large number of promising
grasses and legumes, native to the
state, which we will endeavor to i'm
prove by cultivation and breeding and
bring them to a position where thev
can be put in the hands of the farmers
and ranchmen. The time is soon com
ing when it will not only be a paying
proposition but the farmer will be
compelled to grow more grasses and
forage plants and it is to meet such a
demand that this work has been start
ed The introduction of bronze grass
has been Of great value to this state.
Much mOre remains to be done. We
need a clover or some other legume
that will take place Of the real clover
of the eastern states. We need a
plant to give back nitrogen to our soil
Why not develop one of IL native
legumes?
The most extensive trials will he
made of the home station at Fargo;
Nearly two dozen kinds will be tried
at Edgeley. Trials will also be made
through the cooperation of private
parties at Hebron, at Dickinson and
at Minot. The number of grasses and
other plants to be experimental with
is quite large but the most important
are the wheat grasses, the rye grasses
the spear grasses. the red tops, the
bents. and the blue joints. The prin
principal legumes are the clovers and
the milk retches.
