Perennial Celery?

TIE story of the perennial celery
which a Mr.. Bolton Of Canada has just
soli to Michigan nursery firm and
which will be offered to the public at
not less than a dollar Il plant sounds
exactly as if 1t had originated in the
Imagination of city reporter hungry
for news. This celery is claimed to be
a true perennial, having round and uni
formly crisp stalks which do not rust.
OF course 1T will reyolutionize celery
culture" We cannot claim that this
story must necessarily be untrue, but
it looks like fake, and for the present
shall put my reliance on the present
forms of celery in cultivation, especial
ly the Golden Self Blanching for early

THE FARMERS SHEEP.
Popularity and Excellent Qualities Of
the Shropshire.

Popularity and Excellent Qualities Of
the Shropshire.
The Shropshire sheep is unquestiona
bly, the most popular of all the breeds
If we may judge by the comparative
numbers shown at the various exhibit
tons and equally by the foclzs seen on
the farms as one passes along the roads
in such localities as sheep are usually
kept. Practically it is the farmers
sheep, says Henry Stewart in Country
Gentleman and the following are some
of the reasons for his opinions:
The Shropshire has an excellent repu-
tation as prime mutton sheep, espe-
cially for it's most desirable lambs for
the Easter and Christmas market It's
home is in the best part of England,
where agriculture is most highly de-
veloped, and it stands at the head of
that class of sheep commonly called
the Downs breeds.
Its qualifications as farm sheep
are various. 1t is hardy and prolific.
One flock in England has been trained
to produce two sets of lambs every
year, SO that the flock as to it's original
number really doubles annually. and
as this sheep is very precocious, and if
well cared for may be bred as lambs
the second year and increase in this
same proportion, the flock is proportion
ately more profitable than one in which
the lambs are only singles. The sheep

and are rarely troublesome on any or

OPPORTUNITIES IN MINNESOTA.

OPPORTUNITIES IN MINNESOTA
The following comm unication, received by
us this week from subscriber is worthy OF
most careful consideration from those who are
interested in the upbuilding of Minnesota. The
writer says
"The exodus of young from the state
during the past few years has assumed such
proportions to cause good many people to
do hard thinking. These young men are not
going away because there is nothing to do at
home. They are not going into the Dakotas
and into northwestern Canada because there
is no room for them here or because Minnesota
has cheap lands to offer them. Indeed so
many have left some of the older sections that
how to get the farm work done has become a
good deal of problem, and farms if not cult
waited and and thus rendered productive in
stead of yielding a revenue become source OF
expense to the owner. What should be an as
set operates as liability.
"These young are going out of the state
they have been attracted by the glowing de-
scriptions of the opportunities the West affords
for carving home out of the wilderness. In
every paper they get hold of they told about
the richness of the Canadian soil, the great
crop grown, and it's future pictured in glowing
colors. The Canadian government is spending
great sums of money in exploiting the country
and it's efforts seconded by the railroads,
by the land operators and by the town site
owners. There are cheap excursions to the
new country and land seekers are encouraged
To hlA iad
or no expense. The natural result has followed
All eyes are turned to the Eldorado and
many of the enterprising of our young
men have gone there. Once there the chances
are they never come back. They may find
opportunities to make good homes there or they
may not. 1t they do not they are too proud to
return to the country they have turned their
backs upon and so they are lost forever to the
state
"And all this while there are in Minnesota
lands of imperial extent. 1t is said
by those who claim to know that there are
lands within the state open for settlement
which if grouped would form territory equal
in extent to the state of Indiana. There is a
general impression that this land is good for
nothing: that it is unfit for cultivation. Butt
actual examination by experts shows that much
IF this land is equal to the best in the state or
IN the world; that the land is easily Guilt
waited and more productive than the average of
the best twenty states in the Union, and that
for dairy purposes some of it is unexcelled any
where
ut seems to us something should be done to
familiarize the people of the state with these
lands and with their value. Young men ought
to be encouraged to develop Minnesota rather
than Canada We need them at home. If they
were content to work as hard here they will
have to in Canada they would do fully as well
# not better here and they would not have to-
submit to the hardshps and deprivations
which are the inevitable lot of frontiersnaen
Weesay nothing of the advantages it would be
o the state in charging its population, develop
ng it's resources and simplifying it's markets..

quarter pounds. An excellent charac-
teristic is that it improves the CON
mon sheep when bred to it by reason
Of its solidity of form and its strong
natural vitality. This latter quality
tends to the acquisition by the progeny
of pure bred ram of the special points
of the breed, so that half bred is very
little inferior and often not at all to
the ram itself.

Our Washington correspondent agrees with
Others that nothing the presinent has said in
speech message has stirred conservatism
to it's depths as has this brief suggestion of the
need Of putting limits to the accumulation Of
wealth. He hit Privilege in it's tenderest part.
1t denounCes him as a "socialist," when he
only hits blow at practices that have done
more to foment state socialism than all the
preaching and teaching from the day of the
Nazarene to this. The president went but
half way. To stop at taking from Privilege
what it has taken from the people will not
prevent from again amassing illicit wealth.
The effective remedy is to cut all the govern
ments loose from Privilege wherever the con-
nection exists.-St, Paul Dispatch.
Last Saturday President Roosevelt gave
his speech the Man with the Muck Rake
and if possible raised himself still more in the
esteem of the people. The president spoke
somewhat along the line that Jerome did in his
recent much misunderstood speech. He had
only words of encouragement for the roofing
out of evil and graft in public life but deplored
the work of those sensationalists who like the
man with the muck rake, are continually stir
ing up the filth without once looking up to
view the good that is all about He used the
homely illustration that in reform there is as
much breeching work collar work, and that
the person that depends entirely of collar work
may cause as bad upsetting at times There
are too many people engaged in the reform pro
paganda at the present time simply because it
pays, and not because they willing to take
