WORK OF THE DAIRY SCHOOL.

In the fall of 1892, dairy school
was established in connection with
the University of Minnesota. Since
that time Minnesota has made Won
derful progress in dairying. Before
this school was opened very little eff
fort was made to develop the diary in
dust1y, Minnesota butter was scarce
ly known in our great commercial
centers and was mostly sold under
fictitious brands. All this has been
changed by the advent of the coop
erative creamery and the Dairy
School.
The training given students at the
Dairy School is pre-eminently practi,
cal It includes the art of butter and
cheese making and testing and grad
ing milk, and also a general under
standing of the scientific principles
governing the ripening and churnlng
of cream, the economical running and
firing of engines, the principles of
feeding and selecting dairy COWS, the
proper care of dairy cows to secure
large yield of milk, the formulation Of
balanced rations and the rearing of
dairy calves.
Men who have had training in these
lines are especially valuable in a
creamery. In addition to the skill
attained in matters pertaining direct
ly to the manufacture of dairy pro
ducts, they can give valuable inform
alton to the patrons to so manage their
herds that the income will be greatly
increased.
Nearly five hundred students have
attended the school since its organic
alton, and according to circular of
the Dairy School, most of them are
now in charge of creameries and fac
tories in this state and many have
been called to- other states and are
filling important positions creditably
to themselves and to the school.
Minnesota buttermakers are now
acknowledged leaders in the art as
shown by the prizes taken at the last
convention of the National Creamery
Buttermakers at Topeka. Kansas, and
later at the exposition in Omaha,
where Minnesota carried off the maj
or portion of the premiums.
Every creamery buttermaker in the
state should avail himself of the OPP
portunity offered by the Minnesota
Dairy School. It is an especially
good opening for farmer boys who
are bent on escaping farm life and
desire to rush into the city.

Washington Not Surprised.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-No surprise
is expressed in government circles, here
at the news of General Blanco's resig-
nation. It is known that some time ago
the general sought to resign the Office of
captain general of Cuba and he was in
duced to retain that post only by APP
peals to his patriotism on the part of
the Madrid government. 1t is supposed
that his purpose is to avoid what he
may regard as dishonor. of surrender
ing the Gem of the Antilles to the
United States.

Congressman Eddy calls attention
to the increased republican vote in
the Seventh district. The district
gave Lind a plurality Of z 800 in 1896,
and of $500 this year. In the next
state convention the Seventh will
have a relatively larger delegation
than any other district in the state,
for in all other districts the vote for
Eustis was smaller than the vote for
Clough The Seventh, therefore,
will cut more figure in the 1900 con-
vention than since 1890. This would
rebound to Mr.. Eddy's advantage
should he conclude to become a can
didate for governor Graceville En-
terprise.

Asked to Repeal a Law.

Congress is asked to repeal the law
forbidding the abolition of post office
located at any county seat by CONSOLE
dalton of postofices. The abolition of
small postoffices contiguous to large
Office having free delivery and the estab-
lishment of stations and substations
in lieu thereof, Mr.. Heath saws,
has been found to result not
only in vastly improved public
service, but in a. substantial saving in
expenses, and he desires authority to
continue this plan. Authority is asked
to make the clerk hire appropriation APP
ply to all classes of postofices. At pres
ent an allowance for clerk hire can only
be given to first and second class post
masters. Many third class postoffices
which only escape by few hundred
dollars of receipts from being included
in the second class have so much bust
ness that it is impossible for any one
person to properly attend to it, and the
postmasters are constantly compelled to
pay for such clerical help as they need
out Of their own salaries. There are
1910 third class postoffices, 700 second
class and l76 first class. One result
claimed is that it would remove the
temptation for postmasters to pad
their receipts or to fraudulently increase
their apparent revenues so as to get into
the second class.
A detailed report Of the operations OF
the rural free delivery, will represented
within few days. Congress increased
the appropriation for this purposes from
$50, 900 to $3.50, 600 and Mr.. Heath rec
ommends in view Of the success of the
extension of the service and the satisfac-
ton it has given that an appropriation
of $500, 600 be made for rural free deliv-
cry during the next fiscal year.

The question of a succe ssor to

Although it will be some time be-
fore Judge Brown will resign to take
his seat on the supreme bench, the
question as to who will succeed him
is already being agitated. Judge
Browns term as judge of the supreme
court will not commence until Jan.
1st, 1900, therefore he will continue to
preside in this district for a little over
year more. This causes the Vacan-
cy to occurs during Mr.. Iind's term
as governor and upon him falls the
duty of appointing ,mooue to fill out
the balance of Judge Browns term.
The appointment will hold good for
only one year as the election

eral election in the fall of 1900, but
the appointment will give the success

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-First Assist
ant Postmaster General Perry S. Heath
has completed his annual report, except
the portions relating to military post
offices at the army camps and in the
Antilles and Philippines, and the rural
free delivery service, both of which
await further advices. The general
business of the department, shows an
increase of over $6,0O0,000 during the
fiscal year. In all departments of the
service, the influence of the prosperous
FINES has made itself apparent. This
year there were ~, 79S,07S domestic
money orders issued against 25, 1863, OBS
last wear: the amount carried was $191,-
354, 121 against "a, 49,, 676. There were
1858 new money order Offices estab-
ished
Fixed Scale For Clerks.
The recommendations for congress
ional action are numerous and interest
ing Mr.. Heath recommends that clerks
in postofices be classified and placed
upon fixed scale of salaries, similar to
that of letter carriers, so as to give a
fair prospect of advancement and GER
tainty of compensation. At present
there is no rule or system for the grad
ing of clerks at postoffices. 1t is con-
tended that an efficient postofice clerk
is the peer of a letter carrier, and that
there should be no discrimination in the
pay OF privileges accorded to either
class. The hours of labor of a letter
carrier are limited by law to eight hours
a day, and he is allowed Is days leave
of absence per year. Postoffice clerks
have no limitation on their hours and no
vacation without loss of salary. An APP
preparation Of $4,000 is required for the
of substitute clerks to allow
vacations
An appropriation of 81 SOC, 600, an in
crease of 500, 900 over this year, is. rec
commended for the next fiscal year for
clerk hire. Congress having appropri-
ated 5000, 900 less than the department
estimate for clerk hire. during the past
fiscal year, considerable embarrassment
has ensued in meeting emergencies Incl
dent to the increase of public business.
