Nearly all men work and work hard *or money, but It Is only the few who *re wtee enongb to so manage and plan thai their money wfll work for the m. A dollar rightly need Is one of the .moat industrious workers in the world. One wi ll more often hear good things aald of the Bed Polled cattle A S dairy axdmafe than as beef animals. There is question abo ut their being good milkers, and they perhaps come as near being a typical dual cow aa we will aver get in thla ooontry. I a teat made at the Oklahoma perimant station it was found that twanty-ttoee loads of manu re put on -one acre of land in two installments ^daring seven years gave 66.43 bushels more wheat and of better Quality than .an adjoining acre which received no eraHaer. Both fieJde wese in toe the seven year s. The earn canning season is on, and a very fine cr op Is ready for tbe canners. "Where the canneries are located every nun, woman and child Is bray at good wages. Many of tbe canneries are now growing their own corn* they being able by so doing to better vagnlate the ^timing of the planting and harvesting -of the product, so securing a better ^quality of their finished product. N pedigree no matter bow gOt dged. Is any excuse for keeping an ugly bun around the premises. W know of one such animal winch the 'owner has to keep caged up like some wild animal and the care of which is a more dangerous proposition than smok ing in a powder magazine. W told "him the last time we saw tbe owner that be would yet figure in a tragedy wherein a dead bull and a dead granger would be tbe principals. Argentina can make and place upon tbe English market a pound of good "beet for 3 or 4 cen ts less than can the Tjeef raiser of the Unit ed States. Cold -storage methods have practically elimi nated the matt er of distance, and the Argentina beef, traveling the 13.000 miles in thirty days, arrives In Eng land in tbe pink of condition, all the ^sweeter and tenderer for the long trip. A there Is no Emit to tbe amount which Argentina can supply. It looks -as though we should lose our market and John Bull get cheaper meat. If a colony of grackles seem disposed to make their home and nest in the ev ergreens on the lawn and round the liomestead it will be well to discour -fige them from so doing, for they are -da very dirty bird, even if the plumage of the male bird is exceedingly lus trous and iridescent as he marches in stately way across tbe turf. They tuH a rough and tumble sort of nest rafter the manner of their kindthe crow familyand drive away other ^and more desirable species of birds. A few discharges of a gun among them when they are looking up their resi dence wIQ drive them off: and it is -wise to do so. Tide is tbe season of the straw pile the thrashing season. Some of the traw is well stacked and will be avail able aa good feed and bedding next winter. Much of it is yast dumped where the separator slin gs it Straw is well worth saving and caring for. Where a city market is accessible it Js worth from $ 3 to 9 5 per ton. I Is worth $ 2 per ton right on the farm to form the bas is for barnyard fertilizer. Tears ago it was all burned up aa soon as the machine got through now it is allowed to ot in a pfln aside from tbe litt le whicfa is eaten by tbe stock. Where It can be done, the grain should lie stacked ne ar the farm homestead and the straw all need a a beddi ng and fodder daring the winter In the bern ^yard, for a ton of baznyud manure is worth a dollar at least to any farm In tbe west. i What may be termed the beef hone I the horse for tbe aeeraga farmer to. raisethe hone which at fo ur yean jpf age win pun down scales at j&,60O pouadsf or tbe demand for the .heavy draft bone is emigrant and re liable a aptte of an O trolley roads. autonoMlae and btcydse notlate com petltton wfflt him.

Crop* are far more frequently orereattmated than estimated: Good farming may be said to be the raising of a profitable crop from tbe soil and the leaving of the soil in a better condition for another crop than ft was before. This is a pretty high ma rk to aim for, bet men are doing this Tery thing all the time, their farms constantly growing richer and more productive. Almost every man has had at some time or other trouble with horses be ing unreasonably afraid of tbe cars. There Is no way in which to so sorely and safefy cure tins defect in many a good horse's reputation as to place him where he, turned loose, wfll be in daily and hearty contact with the snorting engine and the moving cars. Two or three days will entirely remove Ida fear of them. W can ooocefee of no more desira ble rural condition of living than be tbe owner of a good farm contiguous to a trolley road leading to the city. The owner of such a place Is assured all tbe advantag es of municipal life with none of its drawbacks. la a touch with the good market and is cer tain to sooner or laser have a demand arise for acreage on Ins fa rm pro ride homes for city reatdeats who have found out that ttls entirely pos sible to ttve wt fh economy to the coun try end stfU work in the efty. Mu ch has been about the doom of the displacement by the WcycJ* and aufcomobOs. yet in eight of the of ate years and its ase of W are not age by a good deal In tact, ft Is not ovitattng the ease to say that these has never been a better demand far the good. horse than now, and no mode rn Inven tion Is at a S anety to flU its place. W know of no safer proposition for the average farmer than to equip his fa rm with two or more well bred draft mares and, using thoroughbred draft aires, raise colts lust as he would steers and with much greater profit. Saddle and carriage horses may also be most profitably produced. I the building of culverts and bridges and the digging of ditches reference must always be had to the maximum amount of water which they may be called upon to handle. I is the ex traordinary and not the average rain fall which wrecks these structures and determines the water carrying: capac ity of the ditch. W recall the case of the man who undertook to drain and reclaim a small lake bed. carefully figured out the average rain fall and tbe area of toe watershed tributary to the lake and made out that a ditch of a certain sise wou ld easily carry off all the water. drained tbe lake bed and had it all in crops, when one day along In June came a cloudburst, a rainfall of ten inches in side of six hours, winch covered bis crops with six feet of water, his ditch not being one-half large enough to handle such a volume of water, so when it did finally dispose of the -water the crops were all ruined. If young calves are stunted during the first two months of their lives they never get over It. W noted a dos en in a man's pasture the other daybony, lousy, dwarfed little brutes, which for our use for any purpose whatever would not have been worth 75 cents each. W think they were creame ry separator calves which were having abo ut the same sort of chance in life that poor little Ottver Twist bad at the English orphan asytam. The sim ple rule to follow to raise a good calf where the butter la wanted from tbe cows is fu& mOk for two weeks, taper ing off on to sk im mi lk during tbe next two weeks and a careful fortifying of tbe skim milk with com meal to replace the butter fat extracted then an the corn and oats the can* will eat with its milk ration. A good a calf can be raised in mis manner aa though it were allowed to run with its mother, but it is a good deal more trouble and de mands great care in feeding. After a county has been settled fifty years or more, its courthouse, school houses and bridges bnflt, it would seem as though the yearly sate of tax ation would and should he leas.

W mention a few. There are the seeds which are scattered by clinging, an of the numerous bur family, at taching themselves to the hair of do mestic anfrrmfo and the clothing of man there are an oar smaller stone fruits and many of our berries, which, eaten by birds and the seeds being un injured by the birds' digestive ma chinery, are scattered far and wide, which explains why It is mat when a tree springs up In some open place there soon follows a great variety of other forms of tree life, such as haws, iwild plums, red and black cherries, chokecherrfes, raspberries and black berries,, whi le the squirrel, noting the embryo grove, win hie him to it with acorn, walnut and chestnut then there are the seeds which are voyagers In the air, the vagrant fugitives which are the sport of the winds, an provided with some queer sort of aerial harness that enables the Irresponsible breezes to drift mem here and mere and every where men we have the rollers and tumblers, quite a large family, which includes the Russian thistle, the tumble seed and others, the curious provision in their case being that before the seed Is quite ripe the stem of the plant rots off dose to the ground, when it Is aetasd by the wind and sent bounding over tbe country, the seed being shelled out and distributed during the trhj. The drifting snows are another igHWj for the distribution of seed, and a host of oth findlng their way on to the fatmeCa fields in this man the eatam lahae, rivers and re for tbe trans of seen, which explains the of young Cottonwood, soft maple and wfDo ws which may be found afl atong the overflowed sections of our valley lands.

A study of the methods of seed distri bution is a very fascinating one and la one which tbe schoolteacher may al ways use to Interest her scholars. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM. The biggest problem in this country and tbe one which more people are trying to solve than any other is how to keep and cere for a fami ly on tbe high pla ne of an American civiliza tion on an Income for tbe breadwinner of tbe family of from $350 to $400 per nrnirnn. Decent food and clothing must be provided and the children must be educated and an the long Usf of setbacks in the shape of layoffs, sickness, accidents and human misfor tunes be considered. I Is well nigh Impossible for a man so situated to ever get ahead financially enough so that living for bim win be an easier problem to solve. Hundreds of thou sands of men of this class gave up trying to better their condition long ago. They accept tbe limitations of their lot. I Is little less than a crime for a man so situated to burden him self with a large family, and he should never have more than two children, but we too often find him with six or more. A pathetic feature connect with this class Is that If they ever do get into debt tt Is almost impossible for them to get out, with the result that when then* credit is gone their ambition goes with It. There la only Just one ray of hope and light for this class, and that Bee In connecting their living and their work with a small piece of land. A acre well tilted win do wonders in helping to support tbe family, and if a cow, a pig and some chickens an be associated with the acre of tend It win In time become pos sible to get out of the wilderness of despair and discouragement into the promised land. Given these accesso ries, the wife and children an do not a little to increase tbe family income. Nothing would tempt us to undertake the burden of ineintemlnga fami ly on a wag* of |9Q0 to $400 per year unless it could be done in connection with the co-operation of a piece of land. affords, hi the object tes te* tfle draina ge far by aide may be seen the one on wen flishmfl taking Its chance wMh the no SI S I um ^tis&aKiftrfft!

PaaLNumerous changes were made by the state board of grain ap peals at its aaanal joint meeting ^1 The first discriminates against scoured or manipulated wheat, and is oe which win be a great beniat. The new role reader "Wheat scoura ed or otherwise manipulated will not be con sidered in grading saose. Another important change is that relating to the pooring of grain into test kettles. I has been found that grain poured iato the mddle of the kettle is heavier then when poured against the sides. The new role there fore is: "Manner of testing- wbeat, flax, barl ey and rye shall be tested af ter it is cleaned. The test kettle shall be placed where it cannot be Jarred or shaken. From scoop, bag or pan hold two inches from top of kettle, pour into midd le ot same at moderate speed until running over, striking off in a zigzag manner with the edge of beam held horizontal. Another important rule has been made concerning rye, providing that hereafter rye most be tested after it has been cleaned, instead of before cleaning. This will give the farmer a better showing to weight. Bejeeted spring whest is done away with and made No. 4, making now six grades in all No. 1 rye is advanc ed from 55 to 56 pounds, and No. 3 from 53 to 54, still leaving it one pound below the Wis consin iaspsetloa, an advantage for the Minnesota department. N change was made in the standard on flax, although reqneatel we re filed, as the present standard was deem ed satsi faetory. stop the practice of mixing dirt with barley by eastern agents after it left Minnesota inspection, the ru le re garding feed barley teehanged. Strong requests came in along th is line from Doiath. Tha new ru le reads: "Feed BarleyNa 1 feed barley must te st not lass than forty poun ds to the measnred bushel, and be reasonably dean.

S PauLMinnesota has sixty-four incorporated citie as compared with with forty-one in 1895, and bat eight of the cities show a loss in population since the last sta te cens us ten years ago, according to Sjjnres announc ed by the state cens us bureau. The cittes showing a loss are Bine Earth, Chaska, Hastings, Jordan, Le Snenr, Northfield, Waterville and Wi nona. S Paul has increased its population during the last ten years the most rapidly of all the large cities, Tbe percentage of St, Paul's increase is 4a6. 'Minneapolis 35 6 and Daloth a little over 9 per cent. Some of the smaller cities have made a remarkable growth. Eveieth has grown from 734 in 1895 to 5,331 in 1905. Virginia also has made go od prog gress, and Pipestone in the sou th has increased from 1,663 in 1895 to 2,865 this year. The seventy-one incorporated vil lages show a total population of 100,- 509. as against 63.513 in 1896, a gain of 38,096, or about 60per cent. Chatfield, Grleacoe, Easson, Lanesboro, Spring Valley and Winnebago City are the only villages showing a decrease in population. There are 135 municipalities in the state having a population of more Khan 1,000, as compared with 103 ten years ago. Good Showing.
