AMERICANS WILL SUFFER
RUSSIAN DUTIES ON MANUFAc.
STURED GOODS TO BE NEARLY
DOUBLED IN MARCH.

Washington, Jan 22.-On March i
next the duties upon machinery, cleo
trical supplies and other articles
which are shipped in large quantities
from the United States to Russia will
be taxed nearly 100 per cent more
than at present The duties are to be
raised for the protection of American,
German and other manufacturers,
who have been induced to build fac
tories and invest capital in the Rus
sian empire. This is the second time
the Russian government has increased
it's import duties on such merchandise
for the same reason and the nlanufac.
turers in the United States are the
principal sufferers.
Last year our direct exports to Rus.
STA were about 100000, but our in
direct exports through Hamburg and
other European markets were very
much larger.

/ Experiment Station Report No. so
During the past year a great
many inquiries haYe come from
prospective settlers and other in
terests IN this northeastern gee
ton Of Minnesota in regard toits
agricultural possibilities.
These various inq uiries may be
resolved into two questions:
What is the soil?
/ What can be grown?
! In regard to the first question
no definite answer can be given,
owing to the great diversity of
soils and conditions. Suffice to
say that there is an abundance of
good land aud there is also unde-
sirable land. The prospective
settler should see for himself in
locating and select a soil and con.
ditions best adapted to the kind
of farming in which he intends
to engage.
/ It should be borne in mind that
a clay soil is not necessarily the
best soil Tor a sandy soil a poor
soil in this section of the state.
I One or the other may be best for
certain kinds of farming and GER
tain conditions. The extreme in
either is not desirable for general
farming, owing to the fact that a
very heavy clay is cold and slow
and extreme sand lacking in fer
Utility.
/ Fortunately the Experim ent
Station farm is fairly representa-
tive OF different kinds of soil, both
light and heavy, and it's work for
the past ten years may be given
as :an index to the agricultural
possibilities of the countryside
productiveness OF the different
soils and the kind and quality Of
farm crops and plants that may
be given.
The past year, 1905, was in
many respects exceedingly unfa-
vorable, being cold and the
ground saturated with water
throughout the entire growing
season. Still there was no com
plete failure Of any one crop.
Certain kinds of crops gave
normal yields while others were
considerably below normal. The
hay crop was good and also the
small grains that were on high
land, but the potato crop was only
half. The fodder-cor crop was
also considerably below it's usual
yield.
Vegetables, though late, we're
quite good. Small fruits, with
the exception of Strawberries,
were very good. The strawberry
lcrop was light in comparison
with its usual production. The
plum crop, while not as large as
last year, was good.
For live stock the season was
favorable. The cows brought in
d good profit during the summer
from the uncleared pasture land,
as did also the sheep.
Fifteen young pigs were raised
largely on clover pasture and
skim milk. attaining weight of
! 200 pounds at seven months. The
poultry department., while yet
small, gave evidence of the profit
there is in a well cared for flock
of hens.
While the Experiment Station
must necessarily devote largely
to work which is purely expert.
mental the practical side of things
will not be lost sight of, believing
] that in this new country it is not
Ionly important to discover the
best system Of farming and best
plants, but also to demonstrate,
to q certain extent, the actual
profit there is in right farming
in this section of this state.

Dick suddenly raises his hat as a
carriage rolls by, and bows with I'M

She Rose to the Occasion.

This is the story of a Warrensburg
clrl who is frequently the guest of a
Sedalia friend, says the Sedalia (Mo.)
Capital. The president of the War.
rensburg Normal is greatly opposed,
it is said, to students of the college
calling up friends over the phone
or being called up during the study
periods. Consequently he keeps one
ear primed for the jangle of the tele-
phone bell, and answers the phone
himself when he can manage to reach
il first. One day last week the girl
in question had agreed to call up one
of the Normal students with regard
to some trivial matter which they had
been discussing. Never thinking of
the presidents antipathy to the
phone, she called the Normal. The
president was busy with a class, but
he heard the bell, and rushed to the
charge.
"Hello!" he said, glumly.
"Hello!" answered a sweet voice.
Yes, the girl really has a remarkably
sweet voice when she talks over the
phone. If you do not believe it, ask
some of the Sedalia boys. Hello!
who is this?"
The president rose to the occasion.
This" he responded, oracularly, "is
the president"
The girl gave a gasp of surprise.
Then she, too, rose to meet the emeT
gency.
why, howdy, howdy, Teddy" she
said, sweetly and cordially. so glad
to hear you. When did you reach
