HOW OTHERS SEE 1T.

The Osseo (Minn.) Review, pub.
lished in the market garden dis
trict" prints the following anent
the creamery situation
"When the Maple Leaf creamery
gets it's Osseo and Corcoran Lake
skimming stations in operation, it
will be an institution that its pat
rons can be proud of, and that pay
out close to $4,000 to the farmers
of northern Hennepin county. The
state dairy report shows that it's
milk test stands the highest of any
creamery in the state, and paid an
average of 221c. per pound for but
ter during the season of 1903, and
paid out over $4,000 for milk to
the farmers in Maple Grove alone.
Wednesday, the monthly creamery
checks were paid and the total was
over 81, 100. In 1903, the years
payments footed up $4,000. There
are fully twenty creameries in the
county, and if this is an average,
the county received 100000 last
wear for. butter. It is not so very
long ago since butter was hardly
considered as a factor in farming,
and what there was represented a
lot of hard work and a few:grocer-
les in exchange"

An Awful Warning.

Liz pdoC lldAu W1uIcI Will pAOVC
an awful warming to many in the
Dakota ranges. During February
and early March, we spent consid-
cradle time in the country west of
Devils Lake on the Great Northern
and west of Bismarck on the North
ern Pacific.
A hard winter has not been ex-
perienced there for many years, and
it was truly pitiful to hear the tales
of heavy losses of cattle and sheep
that, owing to lack of feed, were
compelled to roam the drifting prai-
ries with the thermometer anywhere
from 20 to 40 degrees below zerv.
trying, but in vain, to get enough OF
the short, dead grass from beneath
the snow to keep them alivetill grass
should grow again. AS far east as
Churchs Ferry, we found feed so
very scarce that many were glad to
pay from s. to 81 per ton for straw
nor was there enough of it at that
price. The hardest part of it was,
that the most of this loss further
west in the range sections, falls on
people least able to bear it. Many
are spending their first winter on a
treeless, and in many places, water
less prairie. Their stock IA not
used to rustling, and they had been
induced to locate largely by being
told that stock required little or no
feed in the winter time. One man
near the western line Of the state,
had already lost nearly 1000 out OF
his flock Of less than 5000 sheep
and there seemed little hopes Of his
saving the balance. Instance after
instance could be cited where one
half of a mans cattle we're already
dead. Many plowed the snow with
wide plank sleds hoping to thus
keep some of their stock alive a lit
tie longer.
Everywhere, except among vic.
tins, mostly new settlers, we found
a disposition to disguise these facts
the land boomers being especially
DESTROYS to do this. MIR. Phalen,
ex-railroad commissioner and for
mer superintendent of a division Of
the N. P. R'y., told us at Dickin-
SOB that he had about 1000 head
of cattle and that his loss would
not exceed one per cent. This thoro
business man also told us that he
would not think of going into win
ter quarters with less than 1000
tons of feed for that many cattle,
and that it would be better and
safer to have more. If all would
be as frank and fair in their stat
ments as Mr.. Phalen, much of this
loss and suffering would not be.
The old stockmen are, as a rule,
meeting with little loss, as they
knew enough to have amply we'll
grassed range and plenty of feed
and saw to it chat only their strong
full-grown steers were left to shit
for themselves, and that they we're
driven to hilly,well protected ranges
early in the season. It is the mex
periensed who trustingly swallowed
the boomers stories, that finds him
self ruined or nearly so, by the hard
winter. Many Of these poor fell
lows are hauling water three to five
miles for their horses and COWS
kept at home. Others are melting
snow.-Farmer.

fish in the bottom of the earth. It was
the Restoration that taught the people
to use the drum backing thunder as
their messenger, and to make use of
the railroad instead of the palanquin.
1t was the Restoration that set the
earth in motion, and proved that there
is no rabbit in the moon. 1t was the
Restoration that bestowed on Socrates
and Aristotle the chairs left vacant by
CoDfucius and Mencius. 1t was the
Restoration that deprived the people
of the swords and topnots. In short
after the Restoration a great change
took place in administration, in art, in
science, in literature, in language
spoken and written, in taste, in custom
in the mode Of living, nay in everything
A natural outcome of the Restoration
is the exuberant patriotism that is so
characteristic a feature of New Japan.
The very term "ai-koku-shin" is a
new creation, almost as new as the
thing. This word is an incidental
proof of the general correctness of the
contention of this chapter that true
nationality is recent product in Japan
The term, literally translated, is Glove
country heart" but the point for us to
notice particularly is the term for
country, "1oku," this word has never
before meant the country as a whole,
but only the territory of a clan.
That this love of country, even this
conception Of country, is a modern
thing will appear from two further
facts Until modern times there was
no such thing as a national flag. The
flaming Sun on a field of white came
into existence as a national flag only
in 1859. The use of the Sun as the !
symbol for the Emperor has been in |
vogue since 700 A. D., the custom hav-
ing been adopted from China, when |
in 1859 national flag corresponding to
those of Europe became necessary the |
Sun Banner naturally stepped into the
vacant mace"

JAPANESE PATRIOTISM.

Tomorrow is one of the important
patriotic anniversaries of the Japanese
people 1t is called by them the fest
val of "Kigensetsu." In view of the
news that is coming of the success of
japanese arms. it is quite likely that
the Japanese of Hawaii viii celebrate
it with more than usual enthusiasm. It
is a festival that appeals particularly
to the patriotism of the people
This festival celebrates the alleged
succession Of Jimmu Tenno, the first
Emperor Of Japan, to the throne 1850
years ago (66O B. c. The festival it.
self, however, was instituted by I'M
Perial decree in 1890.
Speaking of the sentiment which this
festival typefies to the japanese and
the feeling out of which the institution
of the festival grew, Sidney L. Gulick
in his recent book, Evolution of the
Japanese" says:
The changes that have taken place
in Japan within about three decades
have been so "a cal, so productive of
new life IN Japan, that some have
urged the rewriting Of Japanese his
