SENATOR NELSON.

The GAZETTE heartily congratulates
Gov. Nelson upon his election to the
honorable position of United States
Senator from Minnesota. He was not
the choice of the paper, which merely
voiced the sentiment of majority OF
the voters of the county in opposing
him, but we bow to the majority OF
the State, and recognize in Gov. Mel
son qualifications more than necessary
for the high honor conferred upon
him. He is a type of the winning
politician and his career has been a
triumphant one.
The Hon. Erastus Dennis French
and the Hon. John Noodles Jones,
lily-livered up to the morning of the
caucus, were on the band wagon from
the start. While they are basking in
the warm sunshine of temporary sue
cess at having betrayed the wishes of
the majority of voters the latter will
give currency to rumors as to the
cause which impelled their treachery,
and will take occasion to investigate
them.
The contest just closed calls for the
election of a Senator directly by the
people and calls for a constitutional
amendment making Governor incl
Iigible as candidate for United States
Senator. The influence Governor
can exert in contest of this kind is
probably not realized by the people.
But it is a fact that every petty office
holder under the Governor. appointed
directly by him or at his dictation by
an official who receives his appoint
ment from the Governor, is called into
service. On the whole this includes
enough men to give every county in
the State one appointment. Every
appointive officer can be forced to
work the member from his county for
the Governor candidate under pain of
decapitation. The State treasury can
be used in the contest as whip for
driving bankers into line.
The power is tremendous when
used as it has been.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 81, 1895.
FLOppED.

The flop has occurred. The ring
whip cracked. The Topping editor
stationed at the head of our
contemporary turned over at the sting
and sound and the Hon. Erastus Den
mis- French and the Hon. John Noodles
Jones have been endorsed.
For year past has he been yelling
for Washburn. Hardly an issue has
appeared without it's bile factory
grinding out one or more editorials
endorsing the junior Senator from
Minnesota. But as the triumphal Mel
son chariot passed along with the
Hon. Erastus Dennis French and the
Hon. John Noodles Jones on board,
cracking their whips over the head of
the human tank stationed at the head
of our contemporary, the tank falls.
There is dull, sickening thud. A re-
iuvenation occurs, and when the clank-
ing of the chains cease new light ap-
pears in the East. 1t is Nelson! Hail
to the topper! Hail to the tank! You
had better get on to the band wagon
or perish!

MOREoON0THE COW.

To THE ED1roR:-A large num-
Der of farmers, Notwithstanding
the intense cold of last Sat
urday, met in the Thompson hall and
without dissenting voice voted that
the proper steps be taken to the Or
ganization of a cooperative creamery,
plant to be established at Redwood
Falls, appointed committees on site,
construction, correspondence, etc., as
preliminary to the meeting called for
next Saturday,at which time they hope
to perfect their organization.
From the many good points favor
ing the proposed enterprise made by
Geo. Whittet in his excellent paper,
Clark Miller in an admirable address,
and others, we got the following: We
can no longer profitably compete with
the South American wheat or the beef
of the western ranches. Southwest
ern Minnesota is naturally adapted to
dairying. We must adopt the latest
approved methods of dairying to be
successful. An average COW milking
200 days will produce 1000 pounds of
milk, or rating four pounds of butter
fat to the 100 pounds of milk will pro-
duce $50 pounds of butter, separator
process.
By actual test of the State Expert
mental Station, corroborated by Geo.
Whittet, VIM Bros. and others, Is to
As per cent of butter fat is lost by
gravity skimming. Taking 20 per cent
we are now losing 40 pounds of butter
on each COW.
There is difference in the market of
three to seven cents a pound in favor
of separator butter. 100 pounds Of
separator butter, the product of one
COW for season at the low price of
20 cents pound will bring 1872. l2O
pounds old process butter at Is cents
brings 1920. The cost of hauling
milk to the creamery is offset by the
saving Of setting, Swimming, churn-
ing, etc. It will cost two cents per
pound to manufacture the butter at
the creamery or $500 for product of
one COW. Setting aside 10 cents per
hundred as sinking fund to pay for
the plant, we now have a simple arith-
metical problem-$$3322 SD 20 $500
leaving $24.8O, the net price of the
product from one COW, separator pro-
cess, for one season. $500 is the
price of product of one COW, old pro.
cess, for one season. $24.8O- 1920

The cost of building and full equip
ment was estimated at $1,000, as out.

HOW A SNAKE EATS A FROG.
When 1t Has Captured Both Hind Legs II
Is GOOd-By.


Is GOOd-By.
How a snake eats frogs is worth the
telling. The writer distinctly remem-
bers witnessing a dramatic meal of this
kind. in which, of course, the snake
came out the winner, getting his din
ner in excellent style and completely
vanishing the frog.
Though a snake may seem at first
sight an organism that is extraOrdi-
nary slow of comprehension, any we'll
regulated ophidian knows, neverthe-
less exactly how to satisfy the wants
of nature in the most approved manner.
A snake invariably grabs the frog by
one of his hind legs. This preliminary
struggle is one of the most impressive
features of the combat. With we'll
defined natural instinct the chief eff
fort of the frog is to keep his other
hind leg away from the snakes mouth,
in the hope that he may speedily ex-
haust his enemy's strength. and also
because he feels that if his other hind
leg is made captive he will have less
power to fight.
Once both hind legs are within the
serpent's fangs the act of swallowing
begins. Inch by inch the struggling
frog is drawn further and further into
the yawning orifice that expands at
each gulp. The channel through
which the frog has TO pass is gradu-
ally enlarged by slow efforts on the
snakes part. accompanied by fercer
and fiercer convulsions of the wretched
wiggler.
The gullet of the snake in its natural
proportions is quite large enough to
contain the limbs of the frog, but as
by frequent gulps the body is drawn
further into the gullet the difficulty of
swallowing increases. Gradually the
ophidian's throat is distended, gradu-
ally the frog is compressed and drawn
out. Finally the latter is double his
normal length and half his circumfer-
ence. As the process of expansion on
the one hand and contraction on the
other goes on, the frog is worked down
little by little until he is finally ''Jo-
nahed," and the snake starts in on his
