high prices Of farm products allow
only a fair. margin between cost Of
production and selling price. The av-
erage crop sold at the average price
the past ten years has often resulted
III a loss to the farmer. ID.
Taking wheat. as an example, the
cost OF production AN acre in South
eastern Minnesota, was, 1886. An av-
erage crop of Is bushels an acre was
raised on these farms; thus the cost
Of bushel On the farm was 66 cents.
The cost Of marketing the product and
sn averaging of the general expense
would make an added s. cents a bushel,
giving a total cost Of II cents a bushel.
The average Dec, 4 farm price OF
wheat was 74,2; cents a bushel. "A
similar computation for the oat crop
gives margin OF less than 8 cents a
bushel. This margin in either case
does not equal the 10 per cent profit
that is SO generally added to cost by
men engaged in. other lines of busi-
ness. 49, 6 .... ~,
The need OF this investigation has
long been felt Minnesota is the pio-

The Sentlnel and the Spy.

A sentinel having been placed one
day to guard fort, was accosted by a
spy sent by the enemy to find out IL
possible, where the fort might be en-.
tered with success; and as he ap-
reared like. a simple countryman, the
sentinel had no suspicion Of the cheat.
Ile however was determined to be
very cautious, and say nothing that
could endanger7the fort.
4'You have a very important place
to take care o." said the spy. '
very" replied the sentinel.
"And you have a very brave and
watchful set Of comrades"
Very" replied the sentinel again.
"And thtak, you must be very
thirsty this hct weather"
Very" answered the sentinel once
more. ,.:4+ 90
Poor man, said the spy, Il feel for
you very much; :f'have got some drink
in a bottle here, to which you are well
come, and which / am sure will much
refresh you"
The sentinel. answered not a word;
but as he ,thought5a draught of liquor
10 a thirsty man could not possibly en-
danger the safety of the fort, he &C.
cepted the ofter;ssnd put the bottle to
his: mouth. Hes FOUND 1t to be very
Pleasant. and dr2hk of the whole.
The liquor was Intoxicating, and the
poor sentinel codld not resist it's et-
tects, but. soop feQ asleep. The spy,
knowing very, xxi what would hap;
pen ran teosunpoR bis comrades, and
they: all marchede hastily towards the
fortress, the sleeping s sentinel was
stabbed to tho heart; and as the gar.
rison had no notice Of the enemy's

We cannot be too yigllant in guard

seems very harmless, may lead to our

Who is GuIiok.

An article on religious tolerance in
Spain in the last issue Of America"
tells Of Protestant missionary who
complained to the Departm emit Of State
Of this country in regard to the re-
strictions placed upon his labors there.
The name Of the missionary was stated
to be Quick, says the Philadelphia
Catholic Standard and TinAs.
This recalls an incident Of Presby-
terrain ministers meeting in this city
some years ago, where a man named
Gulick stated that he had in a news
paper discussion with Father (noW
Bishop McGolrick of Duluth, Mimi,
compelled the latter to admit that he
knew indulgences to be sold in Spain.
Mr.. Gulick was requested w a repre-
sentative of The Catholic Standard and
Times to furnish, the name, Of the, paper
in which such admission appeared He
could not remember it. He did not
know whether it was a morning or an
afternoon paper. 1t was twelve years
Before. He did not know If he had a
clipping at home or not. His wife
might have saved it. The representa-
tive Of The Catholic Standard and
Times frankly avowed that he did not
think either Mr. Gulick or his wife
would find it, but II they did he wouln
publish 1t; or If they could give him
and have the article copied He gave
his card to Mr.. Gul,ck in order that he
might send him the clipping, the name
Of the paper or Mrs. Gulick's recollec-
ton Of the matter.
That was some years ago. No in
formation has as yet reached this Of
fee except this: Bishop McGolrick was
written to-. He resembled Mr.. Gulick
in this, that he could not remember
the date of the discussion. He went
even further. He asserted that, he
never heard of Gultck,E never had b dis
cussion with any one in the public
press regarding the sale Of :ndulgences
in Spain, never admitted what he, did
not know. The Bishop thanked The
Catholic Standard and Times for; ex-
posing Gulick, who he said, must have
evolved the story from his inner con-
scfousness. 81
Evidently. If 1t Is the same Gulick,
he is not getting as much indulgence
in Spain as he would like. E. ..

Does FARMING Paw

The Minnesota Experiment Station,
in corporation with the Bureau Of
Statistics Of the U. S. Department OF
Agriculture, has carried on an investi-
cation as to the cost of producing
farm products in Minnesota since 1902.
The preliminary results OF this investl-
cation have been published by the
Government Bureau Of Statistics as
Bulletins 49, and 70. and by the Mime.
sofa Experiment Station as Bulletin 81.
The actual cost Of producing Ill
farm products has been determined
upon a large number Of farms, with
the results that those interested are
enabled to appreciate the true eco
nomic position Of the farmer. and the
farmer himself is better able to un-
derstand his relation to society.
Data now published indicates that
when all items Of. cost, including
wages to the farmer, are taken into
consideration, the profits from the az.
erage crop are practically nothing.
The general impression that the farm
cr.'s cost Of growing product is very
little ie being dispelled. or it is slowly
being recognized. that when all items
Of cost are taken into account, labor
Of men and horses, the various cash
expenses, interest and depreciation
upon machinery and interest upon
capital invested, that the expense is
surprisingly high. Even the present

opinion, nor is attendance at horse

is betting upon horse race, or betting

quite unobjectionable II a man risks

not especially require. There are many
cranks in this world who. see harm
in everything. If you have IS which

amusement is not sinful:
Servant girls, however. stenograph-

salaries should not bet. And betting
may become a sin under certain CIR
cumstances. There are many contln-
gent circumstances to be taken INFO
account. If a man risks the wages

and family it is wrong. And II you
have the money with which to bet
