JUDGE GRINDELAND spent day at
Winnipeg last week and while there
visited the puclic schools of that
city. He says that he is very much
impressed with the practical char
acter Of the instruction furnished in
said schools. Special stress is laid
on teaching practical subjects, such
as bookkeeping, science Of agricul-
ture, etc, and less time given to the
study of dead languages, But then
Canada has not got a state univer-
sity, into which the instruction in
the High Schools must be fitted and
dove tailed as in Minnesota. So
long as that is the aim and end of
our High Schools they can never be
made what they ought to be to the
youth of our state.

The following item from Russell S
column in the Minneapolis Journal,
states "a fact that every observant
traveller in the wide domain of Uncle
Sam cannot have failed to notice,
and which should make every owner
of foot of Red River valley soil
consider himself fortunate:
Go down southwest and see the
bottomless bunch of sand and alkali
they call the soil; go to New Eng
land and look over the rocks: 20
south and spend your money for
fertilizing, and you will remember
with pleasure the soil of the north
west, where things insist on growing
anyhow, even if the government
does throw in a bunch of climate in
the winter.'

In an address made recently by
Gov. Johnson before the Young
MEMS Christian Association at St..
Paul he said among other things:
Boys, don't lose sight of the
value OF a good character. There is
no danger of a young man going
wrong who has high ideals, and you
can't have higher ideals than the
Christian ideals
All of us are fortunate in being
porn Americans. We have thereby
a double heritage, Christianity
and freedom. 1t is doubly incumb-
ent on each one Of us then to see
that we exert all of our powers to
realize the great ideals of EACH"
Every opportunity that has come
to every great man that ever lived
under the Stars and Stripes is
yours. Lincoln, that grandest of
our presidents, rose to his exalted
position from the most suualid
poverty; Rooseve cit, that epitolne of
American virility about whom all of
us like to talk, was born amid very
moderate and mediocre surround
ings and your governor as young
man walked through the most bitter
poverty that could be imagined. .
You must have higher aim
than to sit around a billiard table,
standing upon a sawdust covered
floor, or to sit at a card table and
shuttle the red and white chips
across the table. A man who does
wrong cannot be proud Of it. A
man who plays cards for money can
not rise up from the table and feel
that he has done a square, honor
able thing. But we all can feel
proud when we have done right. !"

When winter comes, too much can
hardly be said in favor Of the evergreen
as All adjunct of the farm homestead
1t affords when properly planted an
1mpenetrable wall of protection from
the fierce and bitter prairie winds ard
the drifting snow; it affords shelter
to many of the birds which try to pass
the winter in the north country and
when the ground is covered with snow
is the most attractive feature of any
country landscape. No man can do a
better thing for his farm home than to
plant out next spring three or four
rows Of evergreens around the north
and west sides of his premises. Plant
white pine or Scotch pine, and if va
riety is wanted put in some red and
white cedar and spruce. Plant at least
twelve feet apart each way to give the
trees chance to make good wide and
thick base. Take care of them, and in
fifteen years you won't care whether it
storms or not

TREE PLANTING.

The question of tree planting is al
ways an important one each year all
through the prairie regions of the west
and, for that matter in much of the
east as well, for the whole country has
millions of acres which could better be
devoted to tree culture than to any 9th
er purpose. In many cases a timber
grove may be obtained without plant
Ing by simply caring for lot on which
trees are already started. Some of the
finest groves Of thrifty timber to be
found in the west were simply brush
lands forty years ago. But, assuming
that one must plant trees in order to
secure a grove, what shall he plant?
For the country north Of latitude AZ the
the larch, the black walnut and the soft
maple are among the most desirable
kinds, while south of that latitude the
chestnut and the catalpa will be very
desirable additions toSthe list Soft ma
pie is very fast growing and useful
wood will bear crowding and is good
tree to plant with other slower growing
kinds, as it can be removed later as
such trees need the room. The cotton
wood will not bear crowding and only
does we'll on rich and moist soils. The
willow should not be ignored entirely,
as no other tree will take it's place on
wet ground. One job of tree planting
which is fearfully neglected is that of
furnishing the grounds Of the country
schoolhouse with shade and beauty. A
country sch0olhouse set down on a
prairie with not tree in sight is blot
on the landscape and poor testimonial
to the public spirit of the patrons of the
school. There should be trees around
every farm home shade trees for the
yard and timber belt, preferably of
evergreens, for the entire homestead.
Any man with farm of 100 acres can
well afford to have ten acres Of his
farm In trees. Trees add much to the
beauty Of the landscape and the value
Of the farm where they are prop
erly set along the highways. They
should not be In the shape of willow
Or Usage orange hedge untrimmed, but
be trees planted 100 feet apart and
trimmed up 50 as not to serve as block
aders Of the highways in winter. Then
there should bs fruit trees furnishing
every farmer all the fruit he needs,
while the creek bottoms, the bare hill
sides too steep to cultivate and the wet
places should each BE- set to growing
trees. Any man can add $1,000 to the
selling value Of his farm by the proper
and tudicious planting Of trees.

The great trouble with the beef busi-
ness today is that it is hard to find a
market for the lower half of the beef
carcass. The American people are a
sirloin and porterhouse crowd and will
have none of the lower priced and
equally nutritious cuts from the lower
half of the animal. If women were
more skilled in the art of cooking
meats and knew how to prepare and
serve these lower priced cuts of meat
in a palatab form, much of the trou-

There is one farm animal at least
which bids fair to hold his own in the
matter of price and profit, and that is
the we'll bred draft horse No matter
to how great an extent the automobile
may be utilized for heavy hauling, the
machine can never displace the horse,
for it is only under certain fixed condi-
tions that the machine is available,
while the horse is adaptable to any and
all conditions. There is today no easier
way to make $3.50 on the average farm
than to have pair of well bred three
year-old draft colts to sell each year.
They cost but little If any more to
raise than a steer and will be grown
on very much more Of the roughness of
the farm than the steer.
A more general utilization of the
wind as motive power on the farms
of all the prairie region would seem to
be possibility in the near future. Up
to date two or three horsepower
seems to be about the limit, the mill to
do the pumping and the grinding, while
every farm homestead has a hundred
horsepower going to waste on the half
acre inclosing the farm buildings Sure
~, II men can impound the big rivers,
reclaim the deserts, build oceanic ca
mails and tunnel the mountains with
railway bores, some way can be discov-
cred whereby the wasted power of the
winds can be captured and harnessed
for practical work. An unlimited source
of both light and heat, as well as Of mo-
tive power, is Gagged in the fugitive and
fltful winds which, with but slight in.
termission. forever sweep the vast prai-
rio plains of the west. There is great
deld open here for inventive genius.

Three years ago reader of these
