Which?

WI lCns
Shall the people of Minnesota
govern the.sstate or shall we let
the matter out to professional
politicians?
This seems to be the question
which confronts Minnesota at
the present time in the canvass
for the republican nomination
for governor. Long before Rob
bert G. Dunn announced his can.
didacy there was voiced through
out the length and breadthof the
state demand for his nomina-
ton. The demand came from
the people, the merchants in the
town and the farmers in the
country. No other man was
talked Of. Dunn's record for
efficiency had made him the logi-
cal candidate.
Illogical candidate never suits
the politicians. He does not owe
them anything He serves the
people and not the politicians.
Naturally the politicians, led by
their organization, the state adj
ministration set about to find a
candidate to beat Mr.. Dunn with.
Everybody remembers what g
time they had Of it. Finally they
secured Judge Collins. Not that
they cared anything for Judge
Collins but that he appeared to
be the strongest man they put
against Dunn.
Having secured a candidate
they forthwith forgot him and
commenced campaign against
Dunn his record, his character,
anything that they might twist
4 to show Mr.. Dunn in an unfayor-
liable light. In due time they shot
their biggest-ggun and now that
4 the smoke has begun to clear
|aWayit= appears that they have
hitno one but their own candidate.
The fat footed assertion of
James j. Hill of the Great North
ern railroad that he was asked to
contribute $25, 600 to the Collins
cam paign fund has thrown the
politicians into panic. They are

considering now Eddy, now

The origin of the stripes used in
the convict's garb is explained by a
writer in the New Orleans Times
Democrat. He says the custom
comes from the old dispensation.
This writer adds: For instance, in
the laws and ordinances of Dueter-
onomy, we find the following, which
will give us clue to the origin of
stripes as badge Of infamy: If
there be controversy between men,
and they come unto Judgment, that
the judges may Judge them; then
they shall justify the righteous, and
condemn the wicked. And it shall
be. if the wicked man be worthy to
be beaten, that the Judge shall cause
him to lie down, and to be beaten
before his face, according to his
fault, by certain number. Forty
stripes he may give him, and not
exceed; lest if he should exceed, and
beat him above these with many
stripes then thy brother should seem
vile unto thee.' Now instead of in
flicting stripes we put striped
clothes on the men who offended
the law, or who may come unto the
Judgment, that the judges may
judge them, as it is put in the text.
OF course, you could go much
further back in history if you cared
to trace the marks Of infamy, but
you would find that physical mutt.
lation Of some sort in a majority o.
instances afforded the means. y

Selecting Seed Corn.

Some time ago the editor Of the
Iowa State Register wrote to Prof.
Holden Of Ames, suggesting that he
give the corn growers Of Iowa a few
simple directions for securing and
saving seed corn. We believe that
right now as the corn is ripening is
the proper time to lay the founda-
ton for good seed corn for use next
year. On Monday we met Prof.
Holden, and at our request he gives
the following directions which may
be easily followed by every corn
grower in the state:-
l-Select the seed ears from the
earliest planted fields not later than
October Is. Take only the we'll
matured ears.
Pile two ears together, or strip
rusks and tie around center with
twine s or 10 ears, hang up on wire
under shed, securing the greatest
possible circulation of air.
3-As soon as dry and before any
hard freeze store in some place where
there is good ventilation and where
it will not freeze during the winter
such as attic or furnace room.
The above will insure seed corn
Of perfect terminating power. 1t
may be kept in score Of other ways,
possibly, but its vitality will depend
wholly upon securing the conditions
above named-viz: maturity Of
ear when gathered, a thorough dry
ing out, ventilation and no freezing
unless the corn is thoroughly dry

Profit In Poultry.

With fifty acre farm one-half de-
voted to poultry culture and the
other half to the raising of grain, a
man can with one hired assistant
clear more money in year than he
could had he worked a section of
land for all it was worth. He can
grow fowls-chickens, turkeys, ducks
and geese-both for eggs and meat,
and with our rapidly growing pop
ulation and the consequent increas-
ing in demand there will never be
a time when young chicken will
beg for a place in the market at
from 25 to 30 cents. On the con-
trary, the market will beg for the
fowls at prices from 25 to so per
cent higher,
Poultry is as sure crop as any
that may be grown on the farm,
True, you may have cholera Or some
other troublesome disease, and your
flock may be greatly reduced, but
are not droughts and cyclones likely
to play equally as much havoc with
growing crops?-Ohio Poultry Jour
nal.

Sleep an Aid to Beauty.

Women who sleep great deal
and comfortably, who are addicted
to maps and regard nine hours of
wholesome rest as absolutely requis-
ite to their physical well-being are
the women who defy the frosting
hand of time. These are the women
whose wrinkles are few and far be-
tween and whose eyes remain the
brightest and cheek the rosiest for
the longest period after the bloom
of youth has fled. No less notable a
beauty than Diana de Poictier, who
retained her irristible loveliness
until her seventieth year, recognized
the value of sleep as a preventive Of
wrinkles. Indeed, SO fearful was
she of losing moment Of perfect
rest, that, mistrusting the beds Of
her friends. sho carried her own
with its splendid fittings, on all her
journeys.

Three mon rule Japan's destin;es
in her present war with Russia. The
first is Marquis Oyama, commander
of all the forces in the field--a small
podgy, pock-marked man, whom no
caricaturist could fail to lampoon as a
frog Next comes General Baron
Kodama, the executive brain Of the
Japanese general staff. The third
member Of the triumvirate is General
Fukushima, whose genius has been
the concrete mortar which has ce-
mented into solid block the rough
hewn. material OF Japan's general
staff. The three mon are Of very small
stature, and General Fukushima is
fair for a Japanese Oyama's tre-
mendous success is due to the fact
that he whipped China on the very
fields over which he is now SO dill
gently pursuing the Russians. Tt
is said that no other commander in
history has ever been called to oper-
ate twice over the same squares of
the map. Oyama knows Manchuria
as well as he knows Toxic.

Lite is Strife.

The normal condition Of the ocean
is that Of absolute calm. 1t is the
same of the atmosphere. In the
depths of the ocean and in the far
reaches Of space above realm of
cloud and storm perpetual calm
prevails. earth's surface touch
ed by the heat of the sun becomes
the great battle-ground Of the ele-
ments. The contending rush Of hot
and cold air currents, Of negative
and positive electricity, each bent
on regaining an equilibrium, fret
the gray seas into foam and beget
tornado, lightning stroke, hail and
rainfall. In nature life depends
upon the disturbance of normal con-
ditions, and, curiously enough, the
development of man does too. Calm
ness means death

saloon: ga gallon of whisky costs
So, and contains sixty-five l5-cent
drinks. Now, if men must drink,
buy it by the gallon and make their
wives, sisters or mothers the bar

Our readers are we'll aware that
we have been urging them to do
their utmost to break up the pernici-
Gus two days market in Chicago
which has wrought such untold
mischief to every interest connected
with the handling of live stock. 1t
has compelled the railroads to use
all their spare motive power to the
utmost ofits capacity for two or three
days and remain comparatively idle
the other three days Of the week. 1t
has crowded live stock on the lines
going from the railroads, to the
stock yards so that the cattle, even
if delivered by the railroads, could
not find entrance to the yards in due
time. 1t has shortened the wages Of
the laborers employed by the stock
yards by limiting them to about
thirty-live or forty hours week in
stead of from forty to sixty, and was
one of the main causes Of the recent
strike. 1t has created glut of cattle
on Monday and Wednesday with the
result of lower prices, which fall
most heavily upon the farmer.
We now have a chance to get rid
Of this incubus, this nightmare, this
old man Of the sea, which has robbed
the cattle grower of much of his pro.
fits in the past. All that is needed
now is his cooperation. Every buy
er in Chicago has signed an agree
ment not to discriminate in prices
on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
The commission men ave.agreed to
cooperate. The railroads, Of course
are enthusiastic for five days. mar
ket. All that is needed now is for
the farmer to quit sending all his
cattle on Monday and Wednesday,

New Corn.

Ifwe had a lot Of shotes and moth
ing on the farm to feed them but
new corn, instead of stuf1ing them
with that VIC would keep them on
the grass feed, a barley meal or oat
meal slop, very light ration Of new
corn, and not try to push them
till winter when the corn was matur-
ed. OF course, this seems an unproft-
able way to do, but it is every way
better than having to bury or burn
the hogs.-State Register.
