A New Forage Crop.

G. A. Johnston, who lives south of
town, brought in some samples of the
new forage crop, sand or hairy vetch.
It is a leguminous plant. 1t is an an
nual and will drop its seeds freely and
will come up year after year on the
same ground. The Washington de.
par'ment of agriculture estimate the
value of an acre of this vetch plowed
under equivalent to putting into the
ground SIG to $45 worth of C numerical
fertilizer. It IN be sown either in the
spring or fall. When sown early in
April it is ready to cut in July, the
second growth affording excellent hog
pasture. Mr.. Johnston bought some
of the seed of one OF the local dealers
in Princeton to make An experiment
and he is we'll pleased with the result.
The samples he cut were over five fee.
high. He had oats mixed in with the
vetch to keep the crop from lodging.
The second growth is now over three
feet high and is looking fine. Mr..
Johnston says that it makes q fine feed
and he has been feeding it to his
horses for some tiloe with excellent re-
sults.-Princeton Union.

To Kill the Grand jury.

It appears that Senator Lsybourn
of Duluth, who represents the corpor-
atoms of the country, succeeded at the
last session OF the legislature in get
ting thr -ugh proposition to do away
with the grand jury system. 1
doesn't say "grand jury" but that is
what it means. It means, If adopted,
hat all crimes, If prosecuted at all,
must be prosecuted by the county or
city attorney.
The poor man, II wrongtd by some
powerful corporation man, could not,
under the proposed amendment, Is
now, 60 before grand jury, composed
of citizens drawn from the masses,
and tell of his wrongs and have the
guilty brought to trial, but must 20
before county attorney, percharc-
in the employ of that corporation, and
take his chances of being turned down
and abused worse than ever for pre-
Stunning to bring the powerful party to
punishment for his crime.
This effort to do away with the
grand jury system is part and parcel
of that spirit of Imperialism which
seeks to undermine, and is undermin-
ing the founda alton principles of our
republic.

vote ono" on the proposition to
amend section 7 of article of the con-
stitution.-WasecaH Herald.

TOBACCO SALARIES.

4 Custom of the American Colonies
Before the Revolution.
Before the Revolution, ministers of
the Anglican church in those American
colonies where that church was estab-
lshed by law were remunerated "in
kind" instead of in money. Maryland
gave an incumbent forty pounds of to-
bacco year for every 1.-THE payer in
the parish, whether churchman or dis
senter, white or colored. These terms
were handsome enough to secure the
pick Of the clerical market In Vir-
gin1a the stipends represented a fixed
and unvarying quantity, by weight, Of
the manufactured leaf. These stipends
were rather beggarly in quantity. In
a bad year even the "sweet scented
parishes" where the minister's salary,
was calculated on a high priced and
exceptionally fragrant tobacco, yielded
only about $500 year. The parishion-
ers sometimes refused to induct cler-
gyman unless he would consent to take
one salary for serving two parishes. In
1858, when the price Of tobacco had
greatly risen, the house of burgesses
passed law fixing the cash equivalent
of debts payable in tobacco at one
third their true value, thus wiping out
two-thirds Of the incomes of ministers.
Patrick Henry made his first fame in
defending this law when a test case
was brought in behalf Of the injured
clergymen.

Has It Come to This?

Have the saloon men captured the
churches in our big cities? Since
Bishop Potter dedicated the tavern in
New York q great many preachers all
over the country have adopted his line
of thought and declared themselves in
favor of his methods of control: ing
the saloons. The latest development
along this line is an announcement
purported to have been made by Rev.
Golightly Morrill, of Minneapolis, who
says that he will have q bar in con-
nection with his Unique Theatre
church, project which he has under
way. Rev. Morrilps idea is that "If
the people want to drink they may as
we'll drink rigbteously." The profits
of the institution would be devoted to
charity, but it is not likely that he
would be permitted to run such q
place, as the ordinances of Minnea-
polls prohibit the sale of liquor in
connection with any theatre.-Morris

DAME JULlANA BERNER,

She Was q Fifteenth Century Author
ity on Fly Fishing. ~<
The first printed English book on
angling was Dame Juliana Berner's
Book Of st. Albans," which appeared
about 1450, and contained chapter
entitled "A Treatyse on Fyshynnge
With an Angle"
Fly fishing must have been practiced
much earlier than this, as nothing but
q gradual evolution could account for
the complete list Of flies for the fish,
ing months of the year which it gives.
To Dame Berner belongs the honor
Of first telling that the salmon could
be caught with the fly. She says: al
so ye may take hym, but it is seldom
seen with q dubbe at such times as
when he lepith in lyke fourme and
manere as ye do trought or gray
ling" Her knowledge seems more
complete than could have been that
Of the original inventor, so that the
time when fly fishing originated in
British waters must remain uncertain.
Dame Berner's flies will kill trout
today, and her twelve were the foun-
dalton Of those of which Izaak Wal
ton said quantity in 1858: ''Thus have
you jury of flies, likely to betray
and condemn all the trouts in the
river"

This Name IL Given to Some Turtles

The giant turtles which are found
along the Atlantic coast and frequently
in southern waters in great numbers
are known as loggerheads. They COM.

A Dead Moose.

When q bull moose lies dead in the
forest he looks like some strange ante
diluYian animal, with his square pre-
hensile muf1le and horns spreading lat
orally, popularity which he shares
with the prehistoric Irish elk, and the
nearly extinct European elk Of later
times. The huge form tells of strength
and swiftness, and withal the still dan
gerous CLEAN of the eye, glazed in it's
last stare, bids the hunter pause and
feel almost guilty Of crime in the de-
struction Of so much that is grand and
weird, feeling very different from the
sentiment supposed to attend the
slaughter of a deer. But the triumph
Of mastering the wariest and bravest
animal In the woods by fair still hunt
ing and by grimly sticking to the track
for many a weary mile amply atones
for any regrets.-Century. T..

Practical Means for Reform.

Victor E Lawson, of the Willmar
Tribune, who Is one OF the most con
scientious and advanced leaders OF
political thought of the state, and who
this year has no faith in either of the
old parties, seems to prefer the worst
that may cone, instead of using the
lesser t.f what he holds to be two evil
with which to club and overthrow the
other. He says-''we cannot disguise
the feeling we have that We would like
to see the republicans kept in power
to reap what they have sown." Let
sin, crime, wickedress, run riot, then.
Give tbs devil full sway, in order that
q surfeit may in someway, sometime,
bring q reaction, reform, justice and
make the right paramount! No., no,
this will never do. The wiser way Is
to keep up the fight through the most
practicable means possible, and then
steadily the right wi l gain and surely
win it's way.-Freeborn County Stand
ard.
The question as to what constitutes
the ''most practical means" is that
upon which we differ, Bro. Day. Is
it "practical" to recant every prin-
ciple which impelled us to leave the
old parties in 1890, '92, '94 and SO? Is
it practical to expect relief from the
arch-prophets of plutocracy? A dem
ocratic administration of the second
term Cleveland and Palmer & Buck
ner variety would give the enemies of
popular government chance to forge
tighter the chains and an issue upon
which to return the republican party
to power for many years. If that is
what you want get out and shou. for
Parker, Davis, Hill, Belmont, Olley,
German and Cleveland.
The surrender of their leaders to
short sighted expedieccy long after
the conditions which impelled the first
spontaneous action had passed away,
has driven the rank and file of the
populists of the North back to the
party from whence they came. These
people still retain their views Except
possibly such as are looking for office J
and are ready to follow when some
Jackson or Lincoln, strong uncom-
promising and true, in whom they
have confidence, arises to lead them.
He who wastes his ammunition in q
sham battle, will have none when the
call to arms for the next battle for
popular rights shall sound. Keep
vOur powder. and keen it drv. If vou
dare not use it upon the skirmish line.
1t is our duty to SOW the good seed,
and have faith in the triumph in the
right. The people will eventually sup
port a new progressive party with
high ideals and which will be led by
M strong and unwavering in their
devotion to the cause of popular gov
eminent. To ask the peopleto accept q
cheap substitute for the brand they
now possess is not wise.

Bolley Describes Rust.

Prof. Bolley of North Dakota has
issued circular describing the rust
which is said to be doing a great deal
of damage to grain in different parts
OF the country and it may be of some
interest to some of our readers. The
circular is as follows:
There is great deal of talk about
wheat rust at present, and some peo-
ple's ideas on the subject seem to be
rather hazy. Rust grows from spores
(seed }, and in the absence of these
spores there can be no rust, regardless
OF soil and climate. The spores, in
countless masses, form the red rust
masses which blow from plant to
plant. The real rust plant is a para
site and, like smut, grows in the inside
OF the straws. The spo,e masses, rust
spots, break out about ten to thirteen
days after the first Infection.
Two distinct species of wheat rust
from spores appear in every one OF
the states south of here all the year
around upon some plants, and hence
there are always spores present to in
feet the wheat to the north as fast as
1t reaches the proper stage for iniec-
ton, the spores being carried by the
wind. This is where the weather
comes in. If there is no moisture in
the form of due and rain to wet the
leaves and stems, the rust spores can
not sprout. If the weather is damp
and muggy for few hours just at the
proper period of growth of the plant
and OF the rust, there is sure to be
large general infe ction. If the infec-
ton comes early, the crop is ruined,
because the vitality of the attacked
wheat Is soon exhausted by the inter.
nal growth of the rust fur gus and thru
the br oxen places in the epidermis of
the skin of the wheat plant.
Persons who plant barberry bushes
do great injury to the wheat grow
ers, Is this ornamental shrub harbors
one set of the spores of what is known
as the black rust. The present. sea-
son has been . splendid one for the
development Of the rust because of the
slow growth and moist atmospheric
conditions. We observe that some-
varieties Of wheat are more subject to
rust than others, which gives us hope
that we may yet succeed in breeding q
rust proof strain Of fife or bluestem.
