Real Measure # Value.

Labor, not gold, is the measure of
wealth. How much of a davis toll is
loaf OF bread9 How many hours
work is shirtwaistf The dollar of
perspiring brow and aching fingers and
ragged out brains is the real standard
OF value, and the only one by which the
cost OF living of one generation, of one
individual, can be compared with that
OF another, says Milo Hastings in Chi
cago Wholesale Grocer.
Gold, chosen for want of a better
thing, J. but mechanical continuance
to alu IN the exchange of property. 1t
is an incident, not the fundamental fact
OF prosperity, of poverty, of the cost of
living, OF the ability of one man to buy
with his labor the product of another IS
toll.
The abundance or scarcity of gold, we
are told, has something to do with the
price of commodities. When gold is
plentiful, and consequently cheap, the
prices of everything else, stated in
terms OF gold, will be high. This sounds
logical. The world IS annual production
Of gold is about twice what it was thir-
teen years ago, and in that time prices
have about doubled. To those who look
no further, the relationship is clearly
proven.
From 1890 to 1896 the prices of COM
modities made a very material drop to
the exceedingly low point which made
possible the spectacular rise of the last
decade, and yet, during this period of
declining prices the world IS gold output
climbed as fast, and on a percentage
basis a good deal faster, than during
the recent years of ascending values.
If the high price of a commodity is
due to its relative scarcity compared
with gold, eggs, barley and bananas
the production of which has increased
at greater rate than has the produc
tion of gold, should have shown a re
cent decline in value. Has such been
the case9 Go and see.
Since 1896 our wheat crop has in
creased more than so per cent, a figure
that pretty accurately expresses the
increase in the amount, not value, OF
commodities generally. The increase Of
the prooucts which gold must buy eacl
year is far more rapid than the increase
Of the stock Of gold with which to buy
them.
But suppose Gold has become cheaper

SOWING WHEAT IN THE FALL
indiana Farmer Finds 1t Best Not to
Follow Any Fixed Rules or

'BY c. S. BASH OF FORT WAYNE
While it is customary in Indiana
as a rule, to have wheat sown by
September rs, we found by the past

ways best to follow any fixed rules or
customs. Some of the best wheat
produced in the state this year was
soWn as late as the third week of last
November. Henry Roth, Grabill, Ind,
having sown his wheat Just before the
ground froze up last November. This
wheat, to his surprise and that of his
neighbors, produced good yield at
harvest time. On this ground zoe
pounds of fertilizer were used to the
acre. Should we have dry weather il
the fall, it is of the utmost import.
.ance that the ground should be well
cultivated and rolled so as to hold all
the moisture that is possible and pre-
vent evaporation The results of last
falls seeding demonstrated the wis
dom of this policy. The later the SOW.
ing the greater the Importance of the
application of commercial fertilizer in
large quantities. In addition to this,
farmers should thoroughly reclean
every bushel of wheat before sowing,
An extra heavy blast should be given |
on the tanning mill, opening the en-.
tire air duct on the same. In this
manner as much as 10 to Is per cent
of the grains will be blown out and
the wheat which is left for seeding
will be larger berries and possess
much higher terminating powers than
The light or defective grains which
have been blown out. If farmers will
follow this policy on all seed which
Is sown every year it will result in
heavier yields and better system.
Every pound Of manure should be
saved and hauled out upon the ground
before it has leached out on the side
