There is, probably, no human fac
ulty that is more in need of faithful
and patient cultivation than the iudg-
ment, for there is none that has more
complications to deal with or more
difficulties to overcome. Nevertheless.
there Is, perhaps, none which receives
less systematic discipline, or upon
which people are generally less will
ing TO eXpend labor and thought They
train their childrens memory exer-
else their pCTers of expression,
school them In habits of industry, en-
durance, patience and self-control, but
seldom discipline their judgment or
teach them how to draw correct con-
cluSions. That, they suppose, says
the New York Weekly, is something
which time and experience will do for
them, yet, when they see what hasty
opinions and ill-advised judgments are
continually formed by older people,
they might infer that some definite
education in this respect was neces-
sary for both young and old.

VALUE OF GOODS.
snap-Hunting often Means Loss OF
Money and Time.

Snap hunting rarely pays. People
should fix in their heads the fact that
gold dollars can never be purchased
for 80 cents, unless there is 10 cents
worth of gold worn off. The same
with goods. Values must be lowered
either by over production, out of date
styles, or some other circumstances.
Now and then a concern is forced to
sell in order to meet obligations. Then
things go under the hammer, and
there may be a chance to get goods
much below real values. But the mat
ter of buying STANDARD goods at sacri-
ficial prices through regular trade
channels should be carefully cOnsid-
cred. When a lot of goods are offered
at a cut rate, at SO low price that
it is apparent someone must lose by
the transaction, look out for a "nigger
in the fence" The goods may be of
inferior quality, and not the kind a
respectable merchant would care to
offer to his patrons.

There is little use in trying to build
up great town in locality where
there is not the material to sustain it,
and where there are only resources
for the support of hamlet. Towns
Of Importance exist only where there
are certain natural advantages, re-
sources that can be utilized in manu-
featuring, territory sufficiently large
to command extensive trade, or some
other favorable condition. In certain
districts manufacturing must by the
economy Of things be confined to
such lines as can be advantageously
produced. In manufacturing there
are many factors. There must be con-
sidered the cost Of fuel, the raw ma
terial, the labor and most important
are the transportation facilities.

WHAT MR.. KALTEN6RuNNER HAS
TO SAY ABOUT HIS GRAIN
CROPS IN CENTRAL
CANADA.

Writing from Regina, Saskatche-
wan, Central Canada, Mr.. A. Kalten-
Drummer writes:-
Some years ago took up home
stead for myself, and also one for my
son. The half section which We own
adjoins the Moose Jaw Greek; is a
low, level and heavy land. We put
in 20 acres of wheat in stubble which
went 20 bushels to the acre, and 80
acres of summer fallow, which went
25 bushels to the acre. All the wheat
we harvested this year is No. Hard.
That means the best wheat that can
be raised ON the earth. We did not
sell any wheat yet, as we intend to
keep one part for our own seed, and
sell the other part to people who want
first class seed, for there is no doubt
if you sow good wheat you will har-
vest good wheat. We also threshed
5000 bushels of first class oats out Of
160 acres. sc acres has been fall
plowing, which yielded 80 bushels
per acre, and so acres stubble, which
went 30 bushels to the acre. These
cats are the best kind that can be
raised. We have shipped three car
loads of them, and got SO cents per
bushel clear. All our grain was cut
in the last week of the month of
August before any frost could touch it.
Notwithstanding the fact that We
have had late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were
very adverse and unfavorable, we will
make more money out of our crop
this year than last.
For myself feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot b.
checked, even by unusual conditions"
Information regarding free home
stead lands in Manitoba, Saskatche
wan and Alberta may be had on appli
cation to any Canadian Government
Agent, whose advertisement appears
elsewhere. He will give you informa-
tion as to best route and what it will
cost you to reach these lands for pur-
poses of inspection.

Slow Mental Ripeninu.

Not infreqUently those mentalities
that ripen the slowest last the longest
and often the history of these great
men has been persistent neglect and
worldly coldness until 40 or more
years have passed before their great

temporaries. Truly, the life history
of a great genius is almost invariably
one of a sad and somber tone, walk
apart from the beaten path" Such are
the words of one who should know

dure. Be this as it may,

Factors in Commerce.

Quite often the statement is made
that the revolutionary methods of the
present time mean the cutting out of
the middleman. There seems, upon
only a superficial examination and
study, that this may be true. But
when there is most careful analy-
sis made of conditions, it looks plain
that there can be no system that man
can devise that will take the place of
the middleman. Methods may change.
Even the character and the work OF
the middleman, the distributor. may
change, but there will always be a
place for him. He would be thing
Of the past long ago if more econom
ical means could be found for the gen,
eral distribution Of products. He is
the handy man of commerce. He can
not be well relegated to the junk
heap. He is here to stay, and will
stay as long as the wheels of com
merce and progress turn.

The big glaciers are among the fea
lures which make Switzerland ia
nous and attractive to tourists. Visit
ing and inspecting these vast accumu
lations Of ice are invariably on the
program of the more hardy men and
women who seek diversion in that
picturesque country, and along with
mountain climbing give ample oppor
tunity for adventure and for testing
endurance and skill. Recently fears
have been expressed that the glaciers
would disappear in time, since, as was
alleged, they gave strong evidence OF
melting away. But the scientists
have been investigating carefully and
the result is comforting assurance
that the glaciers are all right, and
likely to stay indefinitely. The ap.
parent changes are explained by the
fact, as alleged that glacier action is
variable, being subject to periodical
changes which cause the icy masses
TO expand and contract at intervals
The glaciers, say these learned men,
may be so extended for a space Of SO
years or so as to cover ground from
which there had been recession, and
then in turn may show plainly per.
ceptible shrinkage. There is not like
ly to be much variation on the aver.
age, and the glaciers are pretty Ger.
tain to remain permanent features for
ages to come. The same principle,
says the Troy IN. " Times, ap
plies to some famous glaciers Of the
western hemisphere, including the
mighty Muir glacier of Alaska, and
the world bids fair to remain in pos
session of the present supply Of frigid
ity. Even the ice trust cannot collar

Blessing of Good Roads.

The town that has good roads lead
ing to it is blessed. Surely there is
no more disagreeable thing, nor any
thing more adverse to the business
interests of place than impossible,
boggy roads. There is little excuse
for poor roads in the we'll settled COM
munity. 1t may in the beginning be
somewhat expensive to put the roads
in order, but in the end it will prove
that the saving in wear and tear on
wagons and horses will well repay all
the additional expense. And to the
town good roads are almost vital. The
average farmer would rather drive
three or four miles farther to a town
over good roads than do his trading
when it is necessary to go hub deep
ing the distant houses.
