TENANCY AND OWNERSHIP
Labor Commissioner Powers Has Compiled
Interesting Statistics.

Labor Commissioner Powers Has Compiled
Interesting Statistics.
ST. PAUL, Aug. Labor Commits
sioner Powers has completed that part
OF his forthcoming report which relates
to farm mortgages and tenancy, and
gave the substance Of the results of re-
cent Investigations in short interview.
Mr.. Powers says that attention has been
directed of late to the fact of the in
crease of farm tenancy. The number of
tenants in Minnesota in 1880 was 1868,
while in 1890 it was 1882. One theory
in regard to this increase is that it indi-
Gates the creation of permanent tenant
class, the result of excessive debt and
excessive mortgage foreclosures, and
that the men who are now tenants
are those who have formerly owned
their farms.
Reasons For the Increase.
"Our investigation, said Mr.. Pow
ers, ''gives no color to this theory. We
find the largest increase of farm tenancy
in the most prosperous counties, and
where there are practically no fore
closures, while in counties having many
foreclosures we find the fewest tenants.
OF !, ,792 farmers visited we found only
20 who had formerly owned farms, but
are now tenants, and of these only two
had lost their farms by foreclosure.
''Of those who had risen from ten
ancy to ownership there were 10 times
as many, or 235. The constant tend
ency in the older counties is for farm
ers, as they improve their farms and be-
come full owners to sell out or rent,
while man who has but small capi-
tai can do better to rent than to buy.
The farm tenant with $500 capital can
save more money than the farm owner
with the same amount. Our conclu-
sion is that tenancy is the highway on
which the farmer passes to ownership. I"

Ornithology is the methodical study
and consequent knowledge of birds, with
all that relates to them. The word was
first used in the year 1870. The first or
earliest record in any way referring to
the bird consists of fragmentary fresco
taken, it is said, from tomb at May
doom and deposited, in a decaying con-
dition, in the museum of Bulak These
birds represented, it is claimed, were
1000 years old at the time of the birth
of Christ. They consist of six unassum-
ing North American geese. This shows
that the goose dates back further than
