THte report of the secretary of agriculture, recently given out to the public, deals at length #ith the subject of farming as affected by the agricultural schools and colleges. These schools are perhaps the most noteworthy feature of the coun try's progress in farming at the present iiine. What they are ac complishing in the way of origin al investigation we have some inkling wheri we observe the Wonderful change which has taken plice in the methods of farming and note the many inno vations which are proving of great profit in tilling the soil. In this work of original re search Minnesota has been one of the foremost states. The i secretary of agriculture in his report says. In co-operation with the State agricultural college of Minnesota, an investigation is being conducted by the division of statistics to' de termine the cost of produc tion per acre of the principal crops. Although this wprk |s not sufficiently complete to permit of publication of results at the present time, these data, when properly tabulated and analyzed, will undoubtedly be of great vsdue in solving questions of festori and Grand Rapids re1 ^iven special attention to conditions and the needs of northern Minnesota. Though they have not been long estab lished they have already yielded large results to this part of the state. The agricultural schools of the state are doing great work and should receive every encourage ment. MINNESOTA th ikas a3 fo fti tiO: has been blessed in the past with a strong delega tion in the national legislature and the present delegation gives evidence of helping outthe record. Despite the fact that several of the members are new at Wash ington the Minnesota delegation exercises a strong influence and will be abundantly ableto protect the huoiv^Ls of the stale. In Bede, Buekinan and Steenerson northern part of the state a brio of very earliest and champions who will secure ruj 1 the secretary will attempt to suppress the publication are both amusing. There is probably nothing in the rumor at any rate the secretary has too much good sense to attempt anything so disastrous. And it may be said in passing the interior depart ment has fairly earned all criti cism which can be heaped upon it in its management of the In dian reservations of northern Minnesota. HE state dairy and food com mission has been doing good Work ib punishing violators of the pure food iaw, but the reply of the commission to the criticism that liquor men have not been properly punished for selling adulterated! liquors is well made when it is declared that the pun ishment must be made to fall upon the manufacturer whenever possible. In nine cases out of tea the dealer is unaware that he is selling adulterated goods. THERE was a time when it was thought that apples could not be raised in Minnesota but at the meeting of the state horticultural society at St. Paul last week the display of seedling apples was one of the noteworthy exhibits. I SAM JOHNSON BITS FROM THE (farm management, and various other problems that confront the modern farmer. This is but one of the many lines of work undertaken by the agricultural experimental sta tions of Minnesota. The stations a* le state about could have his way unhindered the office of state public examiner of Minne sota would soon be several laps in the lead of the perogatives of the Czar of Russia.

Mrs. JSate T. Woolsey, writing, on "Woman's inferior Position in a Re- public,!', compares woman's status In the United States with her status in Russia. For example, in America mil lions of wives have no. individual con trol over their property. In Russia, on the other hand, for about two cen turies, every wife has beep the legal mistress of her own fortune. Where nine thousand wives are deserted by husbands in America, five hundred such desertions occur in Russia. No little girls can be employed in Russian factories thousands are so employed ip this country. Finally, more women work in the fields in the United States than in Russia. The Sailor's Psalm. How many peoplelandsmen, at all eventsare .aware that one of the psalms is often called the sailor's psalm? Those who were at the open ing of the east London "Jack's Palace," by. the prince of Wales will know it, for the name_was nsed,{here. It \a, of course, psalm 107, wherein occur the beautiful and familiar words, "They that go down to the sea in ships, that do, business in great watr erathese see the works ofrtha Lpjrd and his wonders in the deep." The psalm is usually read as part of the simple services whi^h tafce pjace.. qn, Sunday on ships at sea. For that rea son it is known as the sailors' psalm. 100,000 Salvationists.
