Argentine, tho young, vigorous and alert Blator republic of ours, comes Inst on tho list and harvests Its wheat crop In December. This Implies that while wheat Is sprouting In tho Holds of tho United States tho crop Is being liarveBtod In India; Hint whllo tho Amerlcnn crop Ib passing through midwinter under snow covering tho ngrlcultrlst In Ar gentina Is preparing to reap tho rip pned grain In tho Holds; that whon tho cu,vnto of Austria and Hun gathering grain, tholr brothors In Australia and Now Zea land aro engaged In sowing. ThlB also means that somowhoro In tho world, during all months of tho yenr, wheat and other staplo grains nro appronchlng tho markotlng atago, to ontor Into compotltlon with tho grnlh grown In our own country. Not all tho forolgn fnrmorB nro nblo to reallOjtlio full valuQ for tholr crops. Through one reason or nnoth or somo nro obliged to soil for loss than Its actual value, and such trans actions not only hurt them but hurt tho pockot-books ot agriculturists of tho United Stntos. Tho sot-bnek which tho farmer rocolves In distant India, Russia, or Argentina, In a monsuro, tolls on tho agriculturist In tho United Stntos; for farmors of all those dlfforcnt countries sond their quota to tho world's markots. From tho facts In tho dopartmont pf agrlculturo It Is evident that tha farmors of somo countrlos nro loft hnlf-Btarved oven at hnrveat time. In the Unltod Statos, Canada an1 many of the continental countries, tho agricultural, community Is pros porous; but In a number of Asiatic lands and In Russln, tho lot of tho agriculturist Ib hard ho Is virtually living year In and yonr out on tho vorgo of starvation, becauso In tho grip olS tho monoy londed, who forces him to soil his crop In many cases whllo It Is standing on thoMnnd. In Russia and India, for Instance tho farmer Is so Indebted to tho money lender that- ho nover Ib ablo to 'gat tho real equity for his work In tho flnlri Tho grain Bocured from those famishing farmers at cut-throat prl-( ces when exported tends to lower the prices offbeat and staples grown by nrriniinurlsts In the othor countries,' agriculturists in the othor countries,' I who Bimnly the markets ot the world with their products. In tho more prosperous countries either gornmental or private terprlse has established grain ox-- rhnnces' which not as hoppers of the world. They enable the produce! s to soil during the enttra year and thus prevent monopoly of Informa- tlon nnd the formation of buyera' trusts. By protecting tho farmer frnm tho tolls of the ururor and ! guaranteeing to them a fre play of tho battle of supply and demand the ) cut-throat buying Is not possible. By ' tholr system of future contracts and i deliveries they prevent the slaughter 'of pricM at harvesting times, es- 'peclally during the good seasons. If there Is crop shortage at home or (abroad tho exchanges gather tho facts and public buying In view of hlEher prices months later gives the ! American grain raiser the benefit of a strong advance Just when his naln leaves tho thresher. It fre- quently happens also that strong fl- Mncft.lnt.reiU connected with the exchang s carry the load during per- iods of financial disturbance enabi- ng producers to go on marketing without any serious decline in prices, Often The Kidneys Are Weakened by Over-Work Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.

Tho Republic of Argontlnn, which stnrted to rnlse wheat In n syste matic manner only eighteen yenrs ngo and now raises more wheat than doso Germnny, probably furnishes tho best Illustration. In 1907-0S Argontlnn raised 180,000,000 bush ols of wheat n crop far In excess of any beforo raised In that land. To markot tho Bitrpkis tho first ship ments wsro 5,000,000 to 7,000,000 bushels n week, tho prico of wheat dropping ns tho markots became glutted. Somo sagacious nnd ontor prlslng merchants saw tho harm re sulting to tho fnrmers, organized n hoard of trado, modolcd aftor tho Chicago oxchnngo, which successful ly competed with tho Europenn buy ore by crontlng an open world's mar ket and In 00 days savod $1,500,000 to tho wheat groworB, reducing tho export figuro to 2, COO, 000 buahols a week. Tho staplo crops aro sown, raised and harvested In othor lands nnd on othor continents In n much ruder way than In tho Unltod Stntos. Tho Implements employed In Aula, Afri ca, Eurppo and Amorlca mark. tho evolution of agricultural machinery. In ninny parts of Africa and Central Asia tho woodon digging stick, Its point shnrpened by bolng rubbod against stone and harded by bolng chnrrod In tho flro originally In vented mnny conturlos ngo Is still employed In forcing root-food out of; tho ground. The African brenks ground with his hands nnd In mnny pnrts of tho Dark Continent mon and womon pluck tho stalks of corn with their hands or uso stono knives for reaping. Most of tho Aslntlcs Uio wooden plows. In many of tho con tinental countries tho plow consists of n crooked wooden stick, to ono ond of which Is fastonod a rude plcco of Iron nnd in certain parts ot Rim- sin tho woman Is nllowed to plow tho Innd by means of this contrlvnnco whllo tho men who nro usually car penters and masons botnko them selves to tho cltleB In order to swell tho family Income by working at their trades. Russia uses horses, India bullocks, Persia camols for harvest work. Tho horses In farm work In Franco ar large, those In uso In Russia ar small. In many pnrts of Africa th re nm small, in many pnrts or Airica tno .Human nacKs ar uicu tor irapauon- fC'K KpfH S corn from tho fields Into the rudely constructed bams. In Asl- nj,c countres the Iron slcklo Is In en-jCOnBtant uso In reaping tho cropa, iillo n many of tho continental countries, the elder nnd swifter brother of the sickle, tho scytho, la still employed. This matter-of-foct-noss of tho American farmer whllo an oxtromoiy valuable assot In many ways, spoils hiB chanca of bolng plcturosquo. The farmer In Europe Invests hU work with ceremonials and fetes, llko thoie in France. But. it Is tho East- Indian farmer who outdoes the rest of tho world in Indulging himself in harvest ceremonies and festlvl- ties. Tho day when tho crop is finally gathered In means an epoch in his life.
