Senator Deboe has recently had a hot

Some Minnesota Weather Follows the
Mild Spell,

The long unbroken spell of mild
weather that filled in the most of Jan
uary has been succeeded by the coolest
weather of the winter The temperature
reached twelve degrees below zero Fri
day and Saturday mornings. Saturday
night it went to sixteen below zero, but
the wind changed to southerly during
the night and the temperature was only
ten below in the morning. Sunday
afternoon, the wind got around into the
west aga n, and in the evening the mer-
curry fell rap dly before high wind.
This morning it stood at twenty -one
degrees below zero, which is the lowest
point reached for several years.:
According to observations made at
st Paul during the last twenty-eight
years the average temperature for Fe-
bruary, 1899, should be Is deg. above
zero. In 1877 the weather was the most
springlike on record and the temper
allure averaged freezing point and two
years before that went down to general
average off deg. as the coolest Febrruay

ton for the month should be 9 inches,

eO FARM AND DAIRY. g.
MAKING THE MILK.

The man who owns COWS is the one
who makes the milk He can make lit
tie or much of it, he can make it clean
or dirty, cheap or expensive, in fact, he
can vary the milk to suit himself The
COW is only complicated apparatus in
which he burns his various folders, and
out of which he obtains his finished
product il the shape of milk Like all
other machines, the cow is subject to
the laws of thermodynamics. She must
use a certain amount of her fodder to
keep the vital machinery in motion.
This includes the keeping of the animal
heat at the right point, the circulation
of the blood, the digestion of food, the
elaboration of milk and all the other vi
tai actions which go to make up the life
of the animal.
Experiments have shown that it re-
quires 16 pounds of dry organic matter
to keep this machinery in motion, that
u.s. to keep the animal alive and in
health. From the rest of the food Civ
en- above that weight, the dairyman
may expect greater or less returns in
the form of milk Here comes the first
point. Now, how much fodder does it
take to keep that COW? Sixteen pounds
or tu enty pounds2 There is a wide
margin here-all the difference between
profit and loss. Ask the cow and see
what she says. If she is using twice as
much fodder as she ought to,
to keep her machine in motion, then she
is not profitable animal If she can
not use the excess of feed given her over
her maintenance rat on, to produce a
profitable amount of butter fat she is
not worth keeping, and should be dis
posed of as soon as possible
No dairyman can afford, under pres
ent conditions, or even under any con-
ditions, to keep animals that eat food
that they cannot return a greater value
for in the milk pail If he does keep
such animals. his progress down the f.
nancial hill is neither slow nor comfort
able. His life is one long struggle
against conditions that he might change
if he only would There are many
roads that lead to loss of profit on the
farm, but the broadcast, smoothest road
with the steepest downward pitch is
the one travelled by the improbable
cow.

FOR THE CARE OF THE
INSANE.

If the county hospital plan is good
one for the keeping of the insane, why
may it not also be adopted for the keep.
ing of the sick. What is the use of these
great, expensive hospitals for the treat
ment of disease if disease can as we'll be
treated wherever it exists, and without
the trouble of taking the patient to a
central institution? Surely insanity is
one of the most delicate and difficult of
diseases, and if home treatment is best
for that, it should be best for the less
complicated maladies that affiict the
body.-St. Paul Dispatch.
1t might be good thing for the Di-
spatch writer to look up the matter a
lit tie. The county plan that has been
under discussion is the Wisconsin plan
for the care of the insane. This plan
does not cover the sending of every in
sane person to county hospital. as the
Dispatch would infer This is an error
that we notice great many of our ex-
changes have fallen into. 1t provides
county hospitals for chronic insane.
Those who are not hopeless go to the
state institutions as at present AS we
understand it, the chronic insane donot
require special treatment, further than
what any physician is able to give them.
There has never been any complaint
that the Wisconsin system has led to
i'll treatmect of the insane. On the
other hand all are particularly well
cared for, We noticed statement
few days ago by some paper, that under
the county system, only few counties
would build county hospital, and that
as a result most of the counties would
confne their insane at the county poor
house This is another case of misin-
: formation, or mere guessing at it 1t
is true that not every county would
build a hospital, nor would they need
| to- But there is no doubt but that suf-
! ficient counties would build hospitals,
so there would be sufficient room for all.
The patients from those counties hav-
ini no hospitals would be placed in the
hospitals of a county situated most con-
venient to it Compa itivly few of the
counties in Wisconsin have hospitals.
These are all under the supervision of
the state board The county from which
the patient is credited stands a portion
of the expense, and the county having
the hospital draws like amount from
the state. The expense of a suitable
hospital in most of the counties would
not be very great and the whole
| system would, from all we have been
able to learn, be much lass expensive to
the people than would be the main
tenance of one or two more large
hospitals.
