BENEFITS OUTWEIGH LOSSES.

First reports of losses in the great
storm of last week appear to have
been exaggerated and from the stock
men who have been interviewed the
past few days, It appears that not on
ly in Fergus county, but in almost
every section of the state. the bene-
fits will outweigh the losses. ID.
Moisture was sorely needed in al
most every section of the state; in
portions of Fergus county grass had
not even started and water holes were
dry; in fact the prospect for fat stock
and big crops vas very poor. This
needed moisture has now been sup.
piled. and while it is to be regretted
that ii could not have been distributed
over several weeks, thereby avoiding
the losses which have occurred. we
must all accept the situation and il
is well that after striking a balance
the profits are found to exceed the
losses.
In instances crops will have to be
replanted; from fifteen TO twenty-five
per cent. of the lamb increase is lost
and probably ten per zen of the spring
calves. But good crops. fat cattle
and sheep are now reasonably insur
ed and the prices secured next fall
will be found to give a larger percent
age of profit than had the storm moi
occurred.
A prominent woolgrower is reported
TO have said: 1T is a good thing;
Fergus county ranges are now fully
stocked and haa ue usual 100 pei
cent. of the lambs been saved and
prices not been good next fall. nearl,

DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL

No doubt Mr.. HeinZe Is somewhat

preme court in declaring the fair trial
law unconstitutional.
Although the opinion was rendered
by Justice Holloway ii is concurred

tice Milburn. making il a unanimous
decision. This is gratifying. at least.
If the law is unconstitutional II is well
to have IL so declared by a full bench,
otherwise a chance might have been
given small minds To discover some
thing discreditable to the court.
Although the finding will be regret
ted by a majority OF the people of the
state. there is nothing in the decis-
ion that assails In the slightest de-
gree the principle involved or aimed
at in the law passed by the legisla.

some of their demands are very unrea-
sonable. But take the grand average,
and they are within decent bounds:
For example, in the building trades
here in New York the wages seem
high, but how much does 1t cost the
men to live? Besides the people of
New York have not stopped building.
They find it profitable to continue
putting up structures, even II the
wages are high"
Everyone must admit the truth in
the foregoing. That there are instan-
ces where the men are unreasonable
in their demands Mr.. Hanna does not
deny, but he believes II is better to
confer with the leaders and men OF
influence in the trades organizations
and treat them as men striving to
better their condition than to sit back
and grumble In silent indifference.
Mr.. Hanna Is right. Capital and la
Dor must be brought together on COM
mon ground. There will be more
strife and possibly more bloodshed and
the breach may seem to widen. but
eventually strong but fairly disposed
men on both sides will narrow up the
differences. The greatest menac to
unionism today is unwise leadership
and ignorance among the member
ship. But the former is improving
and the latter Is confined TO the lower
class Of toilers. They will learn in
time that physical force and violence
are not the proper methods to use
in gaining their point. All differences
should be submitted to arbitration.
This plan is best for international dis
putes and it should be employed in
domestic troubles.
In reply to the criticism that the
Civic Federation is doing more harm
than good, Mr.. Hanna said:
"ituiH tuc last lew WcchS VIC nav

vicinity. to say nothing of what we

he is not a candidate for the presi-
dency and will not be. He says that
his efforts in bringing about better
relations between capital and labor

Much of the emigration of Ameri.
can farmers from our middle west to
Canada is likely to prove ~disappoint-
ing If not disastrous. A considerable
portion of the Dominion which is be-
ing exploited and settled" lies In the
sub-humid or semi.arid belt. which
corresponds to parts of Kansas and
Nebraska. II Is prophesied that a ser.
les of two or three dry years will
depopulate that portion OF the Domin'
ion as completely AZ happened in
western Kansas some years ago. The
land is fertile and the climate Is good
and in what are known as wet years
large and profitable crops can be rails
ed. but the seasons come in cycles
or groups and sooner or later the bad
years make their appearance. Then,
unless settlers are well established
and enabled to stand severe reverses
until the meteorological pendulum
swings the other way, great suffering
must ensue and an exodus result. Al
ready a number who entered this
promised land are returning to Mon
tana and other states of the west.

In London steps are being taken to
do away with the underground baker
les, whicn are claimed to be unheslth-
full, the bread absorbing Objectionable
microbes. Public opinion nowadays,
in fact, demands bread that is as
iy germ-free as possible. Mixing and
kneading machines are used 90 mini
mizo the amount OF hapdling which
the dough must undcrgoa and the baked
ioaves are put into envelopes of paraf-
fin paper to keep the air from getting
at them.
The department Of agriculture fav-
ors the adoption Of a law compelling
bakers in this country to sell their
bread by the pound, as is customary
abroad. 1t has been a~acertained by
inquiry that many people pay three
times as much for the staff of life as
others do, though there is no material
difference in the composition, and not
much difference in respect 20 palata-
bleness Of the product. In some
towns, taking an avefage among bak-
ers, bread costs nearly twice as much
as,in other .owns-a matter of no
small Importance when it is consider
ed that an average family Of five per-
sons consumes about 1000 pounds Of
bread in twelve months. The price
Of bread, reckoned by weight, was
found to run from 2 1-5 cents q pound
in certain New jersey cities to, 6 2.5
cents o pound in New York and Phil
saslPhia.
An sTerage loaf Of high grade bak-
er's bread, says Prof. Wiley, is 20
per cent air. Fifteen per cent. OF il
is starch and sugar, 10 per cent. is wa
tar, 3 per cent. is "protein," Che
stuff that makes muscle and blood,)
and 2 per cent. is aalband ether m;n=
eral stuff. The crumb, by the way,
contains just about twice as much wa
ter as the crust, and is proportionatc-
~ less nutritious. So if you reject
your bread crusts you are throwing
away the most valuable part Of the
loaf. Rene Bache.
