These things are "Stat. documents"

and they always do it. Who remcm.

A raid seems to b. in progress
against the Normal Schools. How
wide an influence it will gather it is im-
possible to predict. The movement
contcmplates cutting off the school at
Mankato, and the one at St. Cloud,
leaving tho one at Winona to live on
$4,000 per year. The effort seems to
result. in part at least, from the pub
lishcd intention Of the Normal Board
to ask an appropriation Of $4,000 for
Normal School purposes. One error
usually engcnders another, but I hope
that this last one, Of shutting up two Of
the most satisfactorily conducted schools
in the State, will certainly be avoided
There is urgent need Of reform in some
features Of tho Normal management,
but destruction is not reformation.

Sheep arc on the rise. Wool is wool.
Those who have focks Of sheep in their
barnyards are lucky. They will make
money out Of them. OF course the
ccntagion will sprcad-sprcad, proba-
bly,, until the wool enterprise will be
run into the ground. But there ic one
thing as sure as light and life, and that
is, no farm is complete without its flock
Of sheep. Sheep are as necessary on
the farm us bread is in the pantry.
With a flock OF sheep the farm, is com
plete. Without one, there is something
wanting.
We do not believe in turning our at
tention to one particular enterprise, or
depending on one branch Of industry
for our livelihood and support. The
farmer who makes speciality Of wheat
will in time fail. tie cannot help it.
He may make money, probably will for
while, but, in tie end lis downfall is
certain. So, too, with other one idea
pursuits.
A model farmer will have his herd
Of COWS, his horse. his hogs, as we'll as
his field Of wheat, oats; corn, barley and
other products. He should not run
into extremes. Because wool bears a
low price, he should not kill off his
sheep. That is poor economy. BE
cause wheat is down, he should not
abandon it. The one is as correct a
theory as the other.
We are glad wool is looking up, be
cause We believe our farmers will take
advantage Of the present high prices Of
that commodity and secure Aocks Of
sheep, and We believe, too, when they
once get flock they will be slow to
part with it, even if wool is down in
e. ures.-Furmcr's Union.

Milking with Dry Hands.

believe that much Of the milk gets
tainted with noxious or bad odors be.
fore it reaches the pail. Some persons,
and hired help especially, have habit
Of wetting the cows teats, as they say,
to make them milk easier. Now this
wctting process causes much foul stuff
to drop from their hands or the cows
teats in the pail while milking. This
is all wrong-cows can be MIXED as
easily with dry hands as wet ones. I
have been in the .,abit Of milking cows =;
aud although l have found some hard
mixers that require their teats to be
sottencd in order to draw the milk, 1
have most generally found it both cas-
Ter and pleasauter to milk with dry
hands. If the tcats are dirty, the
udder should be washed with tepid
water and allowed to dry before milk
ing and if the tcats are very hard and
tough to draw, the COW had better be
turned into beef, or kept to raise calves
from.

Pure Water.

The value of pure water as a SANTA
~ agent, cannot be we'll over-estimated.
Especially should great care be bestow-
cd upon the selection Of the WAGER that
is used for drinking aud cooking, and
while in many cases, really excellent
water is readily accessible, it is also the
case that much Of the water that fisds
its way into our bodies is very unfit for
that purpose. The great evil in the
case Of most kinds Of water is the pres
ence Of organic ma tier; in other words,
dead and decaying animal and vegeta-
bic matter has found its way into it.
In the country, where the supply OF
water is obtained Of a spring bubbling
from hillside, and constantly chang
Ing, this difficulty does not prevail to
any great extent. But in thickly
peopled districts where wells are sunk
beneath the surtace,we often find water
30 impure that it produce; disease.
This is especially the case where wells
and ccsspools are in proximity to each
other. 1t is a generally received idea
that after water has been filtered
through thick layer Of soil it becomes
purified from all organic matter; and
that this is true to a certain extent,
there can be no doubt. But it often
happens that liquids highly charged
with organic matter will flow through
fissury in the ground tor a considers
bic distance without losing much of
their impurities. Alderman Mechi
tells us that after heavy application
Of liquid manure to his fields, the
drains that are situated three and four
feet below the surface always discharge
large volumes Of highly colored liquid.
If this be the case under circumstances
that would seem to afford the very best
conditions for perfect filtration, what
must be the result where the distance
where the sewerage has to pass is not
very great, and where it constantly
flows through the same assures or chan

Nearly onc-third Of the House is
composed Of New Workers, Vermont
furnishes as many in the House and
more in the Senate than all other New
England States. But one native-born
citizen of Minnesota can be found in
the Legislature, while the Southern
States furnish four. Thirteen Scandi-
navians, nine Germans and eight Cana
dams may be found in both branches.
The farming community are repre-
sented by onc-half Of the House and
one-third Of the Senate, while the mcr-
chants arc ABOUT onc-sixth Of each body,

0As a - ~~A' Aos0
A week at the Capitol is but brief
period Of time, and yet it marks nearly
IN eighth part of the entire session Of
the Legislature. Fifteen bills have
been introduced in the Senate already,
three Of which are of general import
ance to the State. One which was
mentioned in my last, the St. Cloud
Bonus Bill" is yet attracting consid-
cradle attention, and it will no doubt
pass, and become a law, although it
may be materially modified in some of
it's provisions. Another is a bill pro-
viding for the disposal of the 500, 900
acres of Internal Improvement Lands.
The third is bill to regulate and re-
strain tho sale of intoxicating drinks.
The provisions of the bill are, in some
respects quite new, in others quite sim.
liar to what is known as the "Ohio Law"
Should this bill pass, it will, no doubt,
avail something, even though it be but
little, and to that extent be productive
Of good. 1t will provoke a sharp de-
bate, and probably succeed in the Sen
ate, but I cannot predict its fate in the
House.
The Legislature has already COM
menced visiting, but not al it visited
last winter. 1t sent a COMMITTEES to
meet with the State horticultural So
ciety, then in session at Minneapolis,
and also to visit the State Reform
School. There has boon wholesale
condemnation Of Legislative visiting,
which is neither just nor sensible. The
Legislature must know something Of
