The question agitating the farmer in
this State seems to be formulated in
"Shall we sell our wheat now?' This
question is daily asked but seldom an
swered. Colman's Rural World pre-
sumes to reply to the farmer asking
the question by saying that, Of course,
there are two sides in the discussion
of this, as there are TO most questions.
That there will be a great falling off
in the production OF wheat in the best
wheat growing regions of Europe, all
of us know. Great Britain is o large
purchaser of wheat. She never pro-
duces anywhere near the amount her
people consume. She has in past years
obtained ber chief supplies of wheat
from Turkey and southern Russia. OF
course she cannot obtain bushel from
that section this year. 1t is knowl-
edge of this fact that has kept up our
-four to its high price, and It will re-
main at comparatively high price as
long as the war continues. But il
the war stops, there will be big de.
cline Immediately, Notwithstanding no
wheat can be obtained from Turkey or
southern Russia the present year. But
with peace will come the largest efforts
to produce crops to make up for the
heavy losses of the war.


Great Britain must rely chiefly upon
America for her wheat supply this
year, and we have an abundance for
ourselves and for that country also
California is the only State in which
there is a crop; all of the other States
are blessed with more than average
crops, and they have been harvested
in safety. The yield in Minnesota is
said to be wonderful, and although il
is spring wheat, it makes the whitest
flour and is in great demand in the
east.


1t is always safe TO sell an article
when ready for market. Much more
is lost by waiting for better prices
than is gained, nine times out OF ten
IL is a speculating process to hold long
er. Let others speculate Farmers
are poor hands at that business. They
need the money to pay off their debts
to improve their farms and homes anc
stock. If out of debt, they want bet
ter breeds of domestic animals, Tor they
are more profitable. They need The
money to educate their sons and daugh
ters. Our advice is to sell wheat Al
soon as it can bc got to market.

Colonel Hood, the head of The
largest wholesale establishment in
Philadelphia, told a reporter of the
New York Times that more business

Domestic goods are lower in price

is his opinion that Providence has
dGne more to bring about better
times than all the legislation which
Congress could effect i'll twenty ses-

solid foundation cannot be accomp-
lished by any legerdemain," he said,
"but needs good crops, which we
have this year, and as a result, when
those crops move and are disposed
Of our success is certain" Coupled
with this is the extra demand placed
upon us by the complications in
Europe, which tend to make prices
higher; and unless the war over there
comes to sudden termination he
does not see but that this country
will be in far better condition a
year hence than it has been for a

Secretary Evarts thinks there is no
such thing as politics in the country
at present, since the people are tired
of politics and care nothing about
party lines. He tells Herald re-
porter that measures, not men, will

all important questions. He thinks
the present Administration has had
the good fortune to come into power
on the food tide of prosperity, and
he expects it will live in history as
one of the grandest epochs in civil
government, while national great
ness will characterize its every effort.

Several typographical errors occurred
in Gen. Carlin's letter in relation to the
extension of the Standing Rock reserva-
ton, as published a few days ago. In
stead of these reservations being intended
solely for the purpose of breaking up the
Indian traffic Gen. Carlin wrote s:exteud-
ed solely for the purpose of breaking up
the sale of whiskey and ammunition to
the Indians" Instead of speaking of the
free lands of this. section, Gen. Carlin
wrote of the fine lands along the NIissou-
ri river and the North Pacific R. R.
which would enable several hundred
thousand people to live comfortably if
they were removed from the crowded
cities Of the East to these lands.

AS many know, Colonel W. S. King has
labored under great financial trouble for
two years past, and now feels that every
dollar must be given up to satisfy his
creditors, though if left undisturbed he
could save magnificent fortune out of
his estate, valued at over 100000. In
view Of his present embarrassments, and
as token of their regard, as we'll as an
acknowledgement of his service to his
state and particularly to the city of Min
neapolis in which he resides, a move
ment was quietly started in Minneapolis
last week to make him a present of a
splendid homestead. An effort was made
to keep the affair quiet and it was inten-
ded to surprise old Thaumaturgis, as he
is now called, with the testimonial on his
return to Minneapolis from visit to the
Southern part of the State, but the
newspapers got hold of the matter and
made it public.


Col. King deserves even more than
this at the hands of Minneapolis people
for no man ever labored more unselfishly
to promote the interest of the city in
which he resides than Colonel King has
labored for Minneapolis. Much of her
glory is due TO his newspaper work, much
of her prosperity to his zealin her behalf
and much of her beauty to his lavish ex-
penditure of money. Who is there that
has done as much for Minneapolis as Col.
King?

The people Of Bismarck propose to have marine
hospital at their place other provision made
by government for the of their sick steamboat
men, About two thousand dollars hus been collected
this season OF marine hospital dues, from the men
employed on the thrty-seven boats which have
been engaged in the trade between Bismarck and
the upper river, but the men had 70 benefit from
the fund.-St, Paul Dispatch.


There are twelve hundred men em
ployed on the thirty seven steamboats,
plying to and from Bismarck on the
upper Missouri, and, though these men
pay their hospital dues monthly, they
receive no benefit whatever from the
fund, because there is no marine hos.
pital nearer than St. Louis. and those
sick or injured, if INDECENT, must be
taken care of at the expense Of their
fellows or become public charge.


We shall publish III our neS1 a petit
ton addressed to the Secretary of the
Treasury, in relation to this subject,
which should be signed by every owner
of steamboat stock, master, mate, clerk
or "rooster" interested in navigation
on the upper Missouri. This thing
should be pushed until the rights Of
these men are conceded. The govern
ment taxes them for hospital purposes
and where is there point in the
land where hospital is more needed?

Bismarck at the Minnesota Fair.


On the vegetable tables at the State
Fair there is good show from Bis
marck, D. T., including the best and
largest potatoes on exhibition. There
is also one sample of good wheat and
another of oats from the same locality.
Next year the Bismarckers propose to
show lots of grain of their ralsing.-St.
Paul Dispatch., sr


Yes it is true that the display ofveg-
etables from Bismarck at the Minneso-
ia State Fair was the best and largest
on exhibition. OF course they we're
entered for show not for premium and as
Col. Thompson truly remarked, they
were raised for market not for show,
and those on exhibition were only some

boats, Black Killers and the city, not
to speak of shipments to the military.
posts. But the display was admired
by every one and as result there has
been much inquiry for land in the vi

isfsd that the soil is all that can be
desired and the climate is good enough.

This question we address to the officers of the County Immigration Society. If the object for which this Society was intended is ever accom- plished there must be some work done. As well had the society never been formed as to just have Society in name only. Without some active and well directed exertions to ac- complish the purposes for which these Societies were intended, they are useless. As yet nothing has been done, It is not because we have not good officers at the head of the County Society, for all the off cers including the township vice presidents are our very best men What then is the trouble?

 We suppose that the excuse is that every body has been too busy to be come interested. It is true our far mers have been too busy to devote much time to it, but when crops arc laid by and harvest is over we hope the county officers will put forth
