Our Welfare Dependent On
Drainage.

As the Kittson county farmer
gazes out these days over his
beautifully fields turning ever more
verdant and green under his very
eyes, and thinks with hope and pride
upon his own fair prospects, let him
not forget that there are some sister
counties in the state, and not far
away, that were not IN the past, and
are not this year, as highly favored
as we, and in many instances ex-
cessiye rains have made THEM fields
almost incapable Of proper cultiva-
ton.
10 those we extend our sympathy
and human fellowship, and while.
we regret their misfortune, we.
must take warning by their bitter
lesson, lest we later will be COM
PEELED to learn through costly ex-.
perience, that Drainage is the all
important reconsideration.
That little Drainage is not enough
Drainage.
That State Drainage and county
Drainage is not enough drainage.s
That large Drainage Oh annels run
ming westward to the Great Red
River, and only a mile apart, is not
enough Drainage.
The minor drains, the lateral.
bitches, the short tributaries that
the farmer himself must build into
these bigger channels, constitute
the last and most impo tant phase
OF ideal drainage, aud they are abb
solutely necessary to the success Of
|of the whole system.
True, there may be years, or
a series Of years, when these
drainage bitches, large and small,
will seem apparently useless, except
that they Tighten the soil.
But there may come year. or
more than one year, when they will
be the only means of salvation for
your crop. And, 1t is for these
emergencies that they are particu-
larly and chiefly designed. And,
81 is in these emergencies that the
futility Of the large state or county
bitches is most plainly and painfully
monstrated, where its chief object
is not adequately eompl emented by
the short, minor lateral drains that
should lead directl y into them from
every part ofthe adjoining field.
Farmers, we know not if you hold
these views with US or not; but the
most stadvice we have to give
is this: Bend strongly and reso-
|lutely to the heavy work Of making
those smaller drains from your fields.

of 5$2,806. COL from the current appro-

A HOG MENAGERIE.

We noted in a pasture the other day
q regular hog menagerie, about hum
dred pigs which had been crossed and
recrossed until they were a sight to
behold There were black hogs, white
hogs and red hogs, white hogs with
black spots. black hogs With White
spots, red hogs with black spots and
black hogs. with red spots which made
them look more like a lot. Of guinea
pigs than anything else Some men go
crazy upon this crossing business and
absolutely neutralize all the benefits to
be derived from the keeping Of i'm
proved breeds Of stock by their stupid
ity and lack Of Intelligence in mixing
breeds up. This thing always results
ia one. way, and that is in the degens
GRAFTON Ct al breeds used and the ere
alton of a lot Of pedigreed scrubs. The
best way is to take one breed and stick
. to it always, seeking to improve it by
the selection of the most perfect and
best bred breeding stock. One will see
this same thing in lots Of poultry yards,
where Legho,n, LaRgshan, White Brah-
ma and Plymouth Rock have con
Quoted cooperative society in the
production Of the most ordinary and
Improbable kind of scrub fowl 1t
does not matter much what breed Of
animals or birds you may select if YOU
only keep them pure and strive to i'm
prove them.

THE DISTRICT SCHOOL.

Some of the brightest and most sue
cessful men whom we know obtained
their early education at the district
schools in the country. It has always
been mystery how it was that these
schools, often poorly taught and al
ways short on facilities and apparatus
and often slimly attended, somehow
seemed to lay bettereducational founda-
lions than many Of the more modern,
more largely attended and better
taught city schools We are inclined
to think that the boy in attending the
country school was at the same time
getting very valuable education along
the line of hard work, self denial, train
ing his powers Of observation and learn
ing to reason from cause to effect.
There is much Of benefit in an outdoor
education far more than we usually
think. This sort Of training is practi-
cally denied the city boy, who, finding
everything ready made to his hands,
does not develop that self reliance, that
inventive genius and that independent
habit Of thinking which come as COM
pensations to the country boy for
what we call lack of opportunity The
fact seems to be that the country boy,
given later on the advantages Of the
modern city school, is almost invaria-
bly, able to hold his own and very often
frequently surpasses his city taught
comrade.

JOKER" IS SEEN
IN FREIGHT BILL
Wertz Measure Would Annul the Two
Cent Fare Law, Say Many
Legislators.

Columbus. o., Feb. 12,-Legislators
who were astonished to find the rail.
road companies unruffled by the Wertz
railroad commission bill-a measure
fought down to the signature of the
governor in half dozen other states
where it has become a law-think
they have discovered the reason.
The commission, they believe, could
make the Freiner 2-cent fare law
worthless.
BY the terms of the Wertz bill they
have discovered the commission would
have power to fix and regulate passen.
ger as well as freight rates. The
law, if enacted, will by reason of its
later date, have force over the Freiner
law, and members believe there is
nothing TO prevent such commission
returning to the railroads their right
to charge 8 cents a mile.
The bill says the commission may
on complaint of any person, or on
complaint of any railroad, alter any
passenger or freight schedule, and the
rate fixed by it shall be the lawful
rate.

FOR THE MINERS
PRESIDENT JOHN MITCHELL
SEES VICTORY
Declines to Answer the OoIan State.
ment--Integrity of His Orgauiza-
ton Hangs in the Balance.

New York, Feb. 12.-President
John Mitchell of the Mine Workers
of America, spent a decidedly siren
uous day today in preparation for the
conference between the operators and
the mine workers in the anthracite
field, which will begin in this city
next Thursday morning at ten o'clock,
Mr.. Mitchell discussed the situation
with a few of HIS s.auUenants; talked
over the long distance with Wilkes
barre, Sham0kin, Scranton and other
points where the anthracite leaders
were. and paid several visits to men
who are interested in the outcome of
the struggle between the employer
and employed III the coal fields. He
declined, however, 10 make any public
statements as to the demands of the
miners or his opinion as to whether or
not a peaceful outcome Of the matters
in dispute was looked for.
Mr. Mitchell is no longer the af-
fable, optimistic individual who has
cheered up his following in the past
and shows in his every movement
that he realizes the time has come
when the integrity and the very ex-
istence of his powerful organization
hangs in the balance. rie IS, however,
fully as determined as ever and in
every statement that he has made
since his arrival in this CITY, he has
insisted that the miners are sure to
win.
The development in Pittsburg yes
terday. when President DOlan, of the
fifth district made a rabid attack on
him, has not in any way disturbed his
equanimity. He insists that Dolan was
mistaken in singing him out as the
object for an attack, but positively
declines to make any statement what
soever as to the subject matter of the
Dolan statement.

RAILROADS
Fearful Of a Big Coal Strike In This
State and Pennsylvania.

The railroads are beginning to fear
the possibility of great coal strike
this spring, and it is admitted by
both the Pennsylvania and B. & o.
that strike of the miners would In a
few weeks seriously impede the hand
ling of vast freight tonnage which is
now being hauled by all the railroads.
Open weather this winter has caus
ed traffic to keep up to an extraordi
nary extent, and the large number of
trains has resulted in q larger con.
sumption of coal by the railroads than
for many years at this season.
Most of the railroads are without
facilities to store coal in large enough
quantities to enable them to meet a
strike of any duration. The Pennsyl-
vania railroad, it is estimated, uses
about sl8,000,000 worth of coal annual
ly and other roads consume CORE
spondingly large quantities of the fuel.
The Baltimore & Ohio would feel q
shortage of coal as soon as the Penn
sylvania, if not sooner.
All the roads which have large min
ing operations along their lines would
promptly confiscate every bushel of
coal that they could get their hands
on. and the roads which depeld upon
affiliated or other lines for their sup
ply would soon be without coal, or
would get it in such small quantities
as to almost tie up freight traffic. This
would be particularly disastrous al
| this time when only brief hindrance
of free movement would undoubtedly
be followed by a lengthy period OF
congestion, condition which all the
roads have been fortunate in avoid
| ing for more than year.
Some of the eastern roads, such as
the Reading and Lackawanna, which
use anthracite, have stored supplies
of that kind of fuel and the Reading is
said to have in reserve about 100000
| tons

NOTH|N' DOM
IN CANTON SINCE THE TURN
BULL ADMINISTRATION.
Rev. G. M. Schmucker Tells of the
Effect of the Reform Crusade
in Canton.

Rev. G. M. Schmucker, pastor of
the Martin Luther church, of Canton,
was the guest of Akron friends. Rev.
Schmucker has been pastor of this
Canton's best known ministers. He
recently helped in the election of Ar
thur Turnbull to be mayor of Can
ton. Rev. Schmucker says that the
Canton ministers are quite well pleas
ed with the administration that Mayor
Turnbull is giving as he is keeping
all Of the pledges he made to the
Ministerial Alliance.
The effectiveness of the reform
crusade at Canton may be noted by
the following incident:
Early in the week prominent
gambler of Canton came over to AK,
ron and a local citizen asked him
what he was doing over here.
81 had to come was the reply,
"and there are others. There is
nothing doing at Canton any more
since the preachers got busy"
While Rev. Schmucker was in Ak
ron, several local citizens came up
to him and remarked:
"Why how do you do, Col. Sawyer"
Rev. Schmucker looks just like Ak
ron's celebrated lawyer-bard, and
from ALI the good reports that we
hear about Rev. Schmucker, the Col
onel surely has no kick coming
