When it is remembered that 10000
head of cattle find their way from
the Northwest into Iowa and Illinois
every year to be ted and sold at a
profit in Chicago. and that about
$50. 900 worth of dead carcasses are
shipped into Minnesota alone, it is
evident that the Northwest is losing
large sum of money annually to the
cattle feeders of Illinois and Iowa.
Attention is being directed to this
condition of things in Saint Paul
and the question is being asked, how
can the intelligent farmer work his
LAND. and what system of cropping
can he adopt in order to keep it in a
high state of fertility so that he can
raise enough grain to fatten the
cattle which are raised in the North
west. and so put into his pockets the
profits which are finding their way
into the pockets of the southern
cattle feeders. That this desirable
condition of things can be brought
about has been demonstrated by the
Agricultural Colleee..of Minnesota If
only the rank and file of farmers can
be prevailed upon to adopt the most
modern methods not only would
they become richer but the North
west would add about S6.OOO.O 900 a
year to it's income.

THE REAL POINT.

The American Saloon Is a relic Of
frontier days, an institution the like
Of which exist in no other country
on the earth. Why does It exist?
To furnish at retail commodity
dangerous at best; to extend, and
to keep on extending. the sales OF
brewers and distillers. It prospers
best when it can make two drunk
ards grow where but one grew be-
fore. How has it protected itself in
this policy? BY gathering together
all that is venal In politics; by act
ing as connecting link in our singular
American alliance Between the
powers that prey and the powers
that rule. The habit is common. in
one form or another, to all the
Occidental peoples. but special to US
is that effective school for deplorable
morals and policitics, the saloon.
And back of that is our most mis-
taken creed-that everything is
justified by business. Is the in
dividual stakeholder in brewery or
a distillery morally any worse than
the pious. pew-owing shareholder in
the Standard Oil Company or the
American Tobacco Company? He.
like the railroad shareholder, permits
his corporation to act in the sacred
name of business. The great corpor-
alton, dealing in necessities of life,
may take bread from hungry mouths.
The fruit of mad extension of the
liquor traffic has ruined private
health. ruined public soul. and
weakened generations to come after.

1t is the matter of common obser-
walton that grass does not grow so
we'll close to trees as in the open.
The same is true of grains. Experi-
ments in England and in this coun-
try have shown that the deleterious
efforts of the near neighborhood of
grass and trees are mutual. The
trees suffer as we'll as the grass and
grain. This is especially true of
fruit trees. The cause is ascribed to
the excretion by the trees. on the one
hand, of substances poisonous to the
grass. and by the grass. on the other
hand.of substances poisonous to the
trees. 1t thus appears that the fall
ure of grass to grow we'll near tees
should not be ascribed to. too much
shade. nor to the exhaustion by the
tree roots of the food supply needed
by the grass. -Exchange.

The Sheaf's efforts from time to
time to publish articles of special
benefit to the farmers of this section
is being appreciated by farmers as
we'll as business men. During more
than twenty years past the Sheaf has
been a persistent and consistent ad-
vocate of a diversified system of
farming. and though it has been a
slow process to get farmers, accus-
toned to the one crop method, to
make a change. yet the change is
coming fast now. and we are pleased
to find that our labor has not been
in vain,

The Good Roads Association of
Marshall county, which was ORGANIZED
about two years ago and which at
the start did good work in stirring
up enthusiasm for the movement,
has not been heard of for some time.
AS there Is still much need of good
roads in Marshall County and also
some unpaid bills which the associ-
alton contracted. there ought to be
an awakening soon.
