Minister Got the Prize.

A minister was one day walking along a road, and to his astonishment he saw a crowd of boys sitting in front of ring with small dog in the cen ter. When he came up to them he put the following question: What are you doing to the dog?" One little boy said: "Whoever tells the biggest lie wins it." "Oh," said the minister, q am surprised at you little boys, for when I was like you I never told a lle." There was silence for a while, until one of the boys shouted. Hand him the dog"

Thousands of years before 1t was practiced as a religious rite Tasting was practiced as a health measure in Egypt, India and China. Contempo. rary to Cicero was Asclepiades, a Greek physician, who strongly advo. cated this idea, and 1000 years after his day Ibn Sina, philosopher and med. ica sage, argued the virtues of tenn. porary abstinence on the ground that 1t came easier than constant modera. lien.

port trade Of this country is growing annually.
England is meat eating country. In fact the
whole Of Great Britain loves meat, but not hav-
ing sufficient room In which to raise her own
cattle, she is copmelled to import the great bulk
Of meats consumed. The volume of cattle and
sheep exported from the United States to Great
Britain each year reaches into the hundreds of
plus in this country and the outlet thru Great
Britain is which affords opportunity to prof
itably dispose Of cattle and sheep not required
at home. The South American trade with Great
Britain has periodically been shut of by the
prevalence Of the foot and mouth disease. The
general good health of American stock permits
shipments to any port and as long as disease is
export trade appear promising. The South
American exporters are sending into England a
much better class Of cattle now than in former
years, and exporters say the American producers
must be up and doing to maintain standard
above that Of the South American breeders.
American corn-fed beeves, however. prove the
best cattle available for foreign trade. While
meats for the British public, the best cuts will
for years come from cattle fed in the corn belt
Of the United States, and such will not fail to
command premium in foreign markets If the spir-

CORN OUT OF HARMS WAY
SOUTHERN MINNESOTA FARMERS
ARE CUTTING THEIR CRoP-A
FEW BUMPER YIELDS.
Specials to The Journal.

.
Aberdeen, S. D., Sept. 24.-The corn
crop will be good and the yield heavy.
It has escaped the frost and the farm
ers who planted a considerable portion
Of their farms to the crop this year
will realize a handsome profit.
Sher burn, Mimi, Sept. 24.-Reports
as to the damage to corn in this county
by frost are conflicting. Some farmers
say that Tuesday night g frost dam
aged only the very latest corn; that
two-thirds Of the crop is out of dan
ger. The concensus seems to be that
corn will make two-thirds of a crop.
Some farmers say it will be a bumper
crop. No doubt some exceptional fields
will yield big, but figuring in the
fields that are on low land, the crop
will do we'll if it averages two thirds.
Chatfeld, Mimi, Sept. 24.-Cutting
corn was the chief occupation of farm
ers in this section this week. The crop
is an excellent one, as the recent frosts
did no particular harm.
Mayyille, n. P, Sept: 24:yThe
yield is better than expected. On
farm west the yield Of oats was 100
bushels to the acre, the best yield
heard Of hereabouts. The yield Of
wheat is five, nine and twelve bushels
to the acre.

many interesting things to tell about his trip.
He says that exceedingly few horses are, going
into England from America compared to the
number that imported into the British
kingdom few years ago American horses have
advanced too much: they higher in this
country than in England and there is no profit
to be made by exporters. England, he says, is
buying horses from Norway, Sweden and Den.

by the thousands to supply that service. he
says the English horse demand will never again
be as good it during the period from
1895 to 1900. This is SO far work horses
are concerned There Is still good demand for
fancy harness horses, but this is not of very
large extent, tho there are indications that Eng
land will always seek the best Of our trottine

statement telegraphed to it from Wash
1ngton that Georgia congressman, l.. F..
Livingston, was the first person to sug-
gest rural free delivery. We trust that
when the historian Of this excellent
scheme for improving the conditions of
country life takes hold to get the facts he
may study the files Of the Hartford Cou-

of the progressive movement is In this

and who was urgent for the Introduction
OF better facilities for rural districts.
