NO PRINTERS THERE

The Ohio Penitentiary News, for many
years famous and hourishing daily
paper published by convicts, has su-
spended publication for the very good
reason that there is not left in that big
penal institution single man who can
handle type.
There is not printer in the Ohio pen
itentiary.
Bankers are there in plenty. More
than twenty are there, and more are on
the way, Several convict banks might
be operated with men to spare.
Enough lawyers are there to take care
of an enormous amount of legal business.
Doctors, brokers and other eminently
respectable" citizens are not lacking.
Businessmen, farmers, mechanics and
representatives of almost every other de-
partment of industrial activity are CON-
mon there.
But there is not one printer.
The fact throws new light on a char
acCer JnaC mas long been commonly mis-
Judged.
The printer of to-day Is home owner
He is of fixed employment and is the
head of a family.
He is and always was above the aver
age man in information and intelligence.
All the notable events of human life
pass through his hands and make inn
preston on his brain.
The fact that more than twenty bank
ers are in the Ohio penitentiary, and
not one printer, tells of the relative
honesty of the printer of to-day and tells
more:
1t tells us that the most dangerous
crimes Of to-day are being committed
not by the worlds workers.-Northwest-

WHEAT REBATES

A short time ago Senator Hansbrough
made speech explaining to the farmers
he was addressing, the effect of the "re'
bate" on Canadian wheat which the
Minneapolis millers have been trying to
get through congress and which Mr.
Hansbrough has opposed. The Grand
Forks Herald criticises the senators
speech and course, and argues in favor
of the millers.
just as general proposition, from
the experience of the North Dakota
farmers, almost anything desired by the
Minneapolis millers would be something
that the farmers should oppose.
But the proposition that the Herald
argues at length is just about this:-The
millers want the tariff taken off Canad-
ian wheat they may buy and grind, pro.
vided the product is sold in foreign
countries. This, they argue would
''keep their wheels moving" and would
not interfere with the local market.
But does it occur to the Herald what
would be the effect on the northwest
farmers who have wheat to sell? While
those Minneapolis ''wheels" are being
kept busy on cheap Canadian wheat
where will the market for our wheat bei
What will be the price of the wheat we
domarket?
For seve-al years past the price Of
wheat in the Minneapolis market .has
been comparatively greater than in
Chicago and other grain markets. A
few years ago Liverpool made the price
of wheat" For the most part Of the
time for two or three years, it has moi
paid to sell our Northwestern wheat te
Europe because the price was too high
at home.
Why this change in prices? the an
swer is simple. Minneapolis had t.

and there is only one place that the,
can get it and the supply is mot much

WINTER RYE.

We take the followisg from letter of
a friend who farms four sections of land
in Polk county, Minnesota, near Crook
ston, and who has for several years cul-
tivated winter rye and clover and timo-
thy in quarter section quantities, and
who has been farming successfully in
this valley for more than twenty-five
years.
Winter rye does not sell for much
more than barley on the average, and
twocrops of the latter can be grown to one
of the former, and while rye is a more
effective. destroyer of weeds, the differ:
ence is not enough to make up for the
loss of crop. For this reason we have
quit raising it. However, to those who
have more foul land than they can plow
and sow to barley late in the season-the
best time to kill weeds-raising winter
rye would be profitable, as it would to
any one who believes in fall sowing.
Such could plow the land Just in time
to prevent foul seed from maturing, and
late in August cultivate thoroughly and
seed to rye. Early seeding is necessary
to make sufficient growth of plant and
root to protect it during'the winter. In
the early spring it will make quite a
growth while the weeds are yet "sleep-
ing" and possession is nine points"
Growing any crop that will mature be-
fore wild oats and other "too previous
weeds will be help in the losing fight
we have been making for years against
the increasing foulness of our fields,
which we shall never make a winning
fight until we adopt rotation of crops
in which tame grasses have place,
somewhat like in the east. In Pennsyl-
vania grass occupies the lands two years
in five.
We have had fair success in getting a
''catch" of timothy and clover, two
quarts timothy and three quarts clover
to the acre, with seed attachment to
grain drill, dropping the seed broadcast
in front of the drill. We dragged the
land smooth in front of the drill and
dragged once after drill to cover seed,
We think we covered too deep and next
year will hang canvas shield in front of
grass seeder to prevent the wind from
blowing the seed back of the covering
chains, and trust the latter to cover
deep enough.
We find wheat to be better nurse crop
than oats, but have not tried barley.
Land seeded to grass should not be af-
terward plowed until sufficient time has
elapsed for the foul seeds to rot, and
how long will that take?
For answer we turn to the farmers
best helper, the North Dakota Agricul-
tural College at Fargo. Prof. Waldron,
in q bulletin on the vitality of seeds tells
us that wild oats, our worst weed, is
practically dead after twenty months,
and entirely dead after fifty six months
King head and lot Of other weeds about
the same. Mustard and French weed
still have vitality after fifty six months.
Our experience with clover here is
that it is much more prolific Of seed than
in the east, and we believe the Red Riv-
er Valley, in the near future, will raise
10 great desl q clover and timothy seed.
Neither timothy Of clover will freeze out

1T is not yet determined
whether the new state courts
will try the old criminal cases,
pending at the time Of the ad-
mission of the state.
Attorney General West has
rendered an opinion in which he
holds that the state courts have
no power or jurisdiction to try
an offense committed in violation
of a federal law and that cen
gress has no authority to con
fer such power He holds that
q person who has violated a
federal law can only be tried by
a federal court having jurisdic-
tion.
IL this be the correct view it is
very doubtful whether the
federal courts of the state have
jurisdiction to try any of
these old cases for the reason
that congress has made no pro
vision for their transfer to these
courts.
In the meantime many persons
are in jail charged with offenses
committed upon indictments
returned before statehood.
No Judge or other officer will

Few Senators Hear Prayers.

Attendance at prayers in the United
States senate Is not large, but II al.
ways includes Senators Plat and De-
pew, who usually sit together and
withdraw before the business OF the
day begins. Sometimes there are
only five or six who assemble to hear
DIR. Hale's invocation. Upon re-
cent occasion there were seven, and a
curious observer made a memoran-
dun of their names. In addition to
Plat and Depew there were Perkins
of California, Smoot of Utah, Dick OF
Ohio, McCreary of Kentucky and
Clark of Montana.

Something Like Jumping.

The best story of a horses jumps
which comes to mind is that of Cal
ifornia cowboy. He was taking steers
to Leadville, and had camped for the
night on Bear river, near its conjunc.
ton with the Little Snake. In the
middle of the night something &C.
CURED to stampede the cattle. The
man mounted his bronco and rode
hlther and thither on the flank OF the
herd until their fright had died away.
Four or five times the rider felt his
horse give tremendous leaps, and with
daybreak he discove led the cause.
The cattle had climbed to a level
plateau which is intersected by a
canyon four miles long and from 1,500
to 1000 feet deep. Its walls incline
toward each other at the top, where
the distance is 10 or 20 feet. In riding
the man had kept the steers circling
about this plateau. A dozen of them
he found had fallen down the canon
and been killed.
Hoof marks showed him that the
great jumps made by his horse were
occasioned by the animals clearing
the canyon each time 1t came to the
taking off spot
