Northerm Minnesota Farms. Live Stock Worid: ‘Seeing is be- lieving,” is an ancient but true pro- verb. Itis as-applicable today as it was a thousand yearsago and will be eaually true a thousand years hence, ‘do man looking tor a homestead or a farm Lhere is nu evidence so strong of the fitness, or unfitness, desirability undesirability of a location as a per- soval observation and seeing with your own eyes. We are led to maka the above re- marks because we believe that any reader of the Live Stock World who contemplates buying a farm or seeking a new homestead location will do himself injustice if be fails to look over the possibilities and advantages of Western Minnesota as a farming and stuck raising country. Ltis here where we find the world renowned aud celebrated “Red River Valley” a part of the Westeru boundary of the state through which flows the Red River, that life giving and tertile stream from which the valley re ceives its name. ‘The Red River valley is famous for the uniformity of its land. ‘lhe soil isa heavy black loam aud ruus from three Lo five feet deep. On it can be raised clover, timolby, wheat, oats barley aud flax in abundance. ‘Lhe earlier varieties of corn cau alsu be grown, but wheat is the great crop. Here is where some of the great bunanza wheat farms are located and many fortubes have been made in growing Ubis great cereal. A woid in regard to the northern half of Minnesota. ‘There are a great mauy people who have au idea that this eutire section is abarren, un- fervile country and that it is nota fivabude for civilized man. ‘his is very far from the truth. Llndeed, it is actually the reverse of being true. ‘Lhere are some parts better thao olhers as ‘a matter of course. Some are prairie lands aud sume are timber Jands. In both cases the oppurtuni- ties tor settlers aud homeseekers are goud enough to warrant them in pay- iug Lhe low prices ab which ube lands are being held. In the eastern part of the north haif of Mineesota the market facilities are excellent, there being Dututh, Minn., and Superior, Wis., both active fluurishing clties whuse citizens ure prepared tu Laudle sucessfully all the marketable stutt thatis shipped to them. In the western part we have Fargo N. D., just across the Red River, Moorhead and Crovksten, Minn. These are all wide-awake Lowus and their people imbued with the proper Western spirit that has impressed itself so per- ceptibly upon our Western civilation. We believe that.the time is not far distant wheu the entire nortnern half of the state of Minnesota will be peopled by a bappy, contented and prosperous people. Surely it behooves those wanting to buy a farm to go now ere it is too late and values have risen to probibitory rates, Produces Hydrogen Cheaply. M. Claude, a French scientist, has found a way to produce hydrogen cheaply from common illuminating | gas. He simply passes the gas through a tube imbedded in liquid air and the hydrocarbon elements in the gas are liquefied or frozen out and left behind, while the hydrogen passes Money Well Expended. The government is going to pay the Chinese residents of Hawali $800,000 for the property that was burned by health officials while stamping out the bubonic plague. This may be more than the buildings were worth, but it is cheap when one conskiers how close to our shores the plague was getting. Mountain Threatens Disaster. Great Altels, a mountain near the Gemmi, in the Bernese Oberland, is threatening to split asunder and over- whelm the neighboring valley. Ia September, 1895, a great fall of ice rsstahd the our Republican contemporaries continue discussion of tne golds ard as if it were an issue in this ca paign It won for then) two great victories and the entire control of the political power in this country, Doubtless it would do su a third time if they could make the voters be- lieve that it is at all invoived. Fortunately, all the circumstances now are such as to prove to the meanest intelligence that it is not, The last elod is thrown wpon the grave of this dead issue by the decla- ration of former Senator Davis, Democratic candidate for viee presi- dent. He has been an apvocate of the free coinage of silver. He has not-assured us of any change in his theoretical views on monetary stand- ards, any more than have a. great many other people. But he is above all things a common sense, practical man. He knows that when a thing is done it is dones and that when ‘an issue is dead the ouly decent treat- ment is to bury it. He has, there- fore announced publicly that he stands squarely with Judge Parker and with the Democratic party of today on the declaration that the gold standard having been estab- lished by law, the monetary issue is not involved in this campaign. That is all there is to it. Any Democrat, whatever his financial views, is foolish and is doing iujury tu his party 1f he allows himselt to be inveigled or provoked into any discussion of the money question ‘There is at least an entire agreement among all of us, It has been reached without any brow-beating on one side, and without any bumilia- tion or recantation on the other. Circumstances have acted as recon- ciling forces, and time and progress been the peacemakers. Lhe industrial and economic world has settled itself upon a platform that nothing could disturb. ‘There are new occusicns and wew duties. There are issues that involve the very foundation of government and the maintenance of liberty among meu guaranteed by the fathers of this republic. This is our batue ground, and no wailing voices from the past, whether from the deserted camp of silverite or goldite, will be allowed to disturb ‘ur distract us in the great battle that we are now to wage.—St. Paul Globe. “Times” Not so Good—The Cause. It is generally conceded that busi- ness is not as good for a few years past; “times are harder,” aswe putit. And the new ondition is manifested in the usual ways,—smailer banking business, decreased railroad earnings, lighter volume of trade, and, worse then all, thousands of working people thrown out of employment. ‘Vhese unple.s- ant manifestations do not seem to be easily accounted tor. Volume of cur- rency has not been decreased, there has been no crop disaster, but a fine Meat,.bread and other necessaries of life are abundant, and human wents are imfistent as ever. There is, then, no natural or legitimate cause for bus- iness reaction. One cause is urged, however: “This is a presidential year, and business 1s always dull this year.” But this vear should be an exception to the rule— if it is a rule—for political conditions this year are exceptional. ‘he cou.try is not even remotely threatened with any change in governmental policy, fiscal or otherwise. ‘The boyy of “free trade” or “tanff for revenue only” can- not scare the most timid child, let aloye ‘“frghtening capital,” that still more tumid thing. Monopolistic and orther capitalistic combinations* are not to be interfered with for nearly five years more, except in a manner that, ‘will not disturb business” or “1n- terrupt the current of out prosperity,” so there 1s nothing to the present campaign to make times hard. But there must be a cause for the present harder times; What 1s it? That’s easy: ‘Too much and too rapid ab- sorption of wealth by those who pro- duce no wealth from those who do produce all wealth!— Farm, Stock and Home.

MATHER. ‘The Kive-Ciawea Dragon. %™ China the five-clawed dragon ts the emblem of royalty. Usually it ig ‘ictured as arising from the sea and erutehing at the sun, thus expressing the idea of universal dominion. The Emperor’s person is called the ara- gon’s body, his throne the dragon’s throne. To see the Emperor, a privi- lege allowed to but few, is to see the dragon's face. The Emperor's crest is @ G@ragon; a dragon appears ox the @hinese flag. The dragon is calle¢ “Lung” in China, and symbolizes all that is imposing and powerful. The mass of the people believe in the dra: gon a8 an actual existence, and waste much time and money in attempting to propitiate the monster. The dragon bas been described by Chinese writers from the Altels covered hundreds of acres of meadow land in the neighbor: i Rood of Spitalmatten. as a most fearsome jooking monster, and they give it all sorty of extraordle usry attributes, NOSE - Henry ON AE RR BOTS SASS RE RY a Be BR We have something new to show you this week in Dress Street Skirts, from an all wool mixed skirt to an all wool and HENRY HUGH C0: | Hughes & Co.
