Serious Menace to Health.

1t would be safe to say that preserva-
tives in anything to be eaten, in the
shape of boracic acid, salycilic acid,
formalin, and the whole family, are
damage to. the health of those who eat
them, says New York Farmer. No
number of certificates from chemists
and medical men who are willing to sell
an opinion on these subjects should
have any weight with sensible people.
There has been good deal of such
dirty work done, and by men who rate
themselves as authorities in such ques-
tons, but such opinions have no weight
among their professional brethren
whose opinions are not for sale. 1t
seems a pity that such men can have
any standing among their honest and
conscientious brethren, and if the truth
could be fully known we opine such
would be found to be the case.

Milking in Fly Time.

The perpetual switching of cows
tail into the mixers face and eyes is
extremely annoying, aside from the liza
bility of getting dirt switched from the
tail into the milk pail. Some mixers
tie the cows tail to her leg, but the flies
make the cow so uneasy that she will
soon switch her tail loose, or else will
break into run. The best way to keep
flies from cow is to rub little grease
over her back and sides, and very lit
tie will be enough. Then spread over
her branches cut from the trees, al
lowing the green leaves to extend down
her sides. The mixer can then milk
in comfort. 1t will need fresh branch
every two or three days, keeping it in
water when not used as shade for the
cow.-American Cultivaator.

Corn in the Orchard.

Corn is undoubtedly the most appro-
pirate crop to raise in a young orchard.
1t makes a wind break, causes trees to
grow straight and furnishes food for
insects which prefer young corn to
trees. And the cultivation given corn
is just wha the trees need. Those who
were fortunate enough to have apples
last year have good bank accounts now.
Apples at so cents peck have been no

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Crop Report.


U. S. Department of Agriculture
Climate and Crop Bulletin of the
Weather Bureau-Minnesota section:
Wheat and oat harvest is general in
all parts of the state south of the Red
river valley except in a small area
from Washington to Chisago counties
west to Kandiyohi and Renville coun-
ties, and from Nicollet and Steele
counties north to Wright and Anoka
counties, where harvest is practically
finished. South of the Minnesota
river the rains have delayed harvest
seriously-in some places making the
fields SO soft that the binders could
not work. From all directions come
reports that the wheat stems are very,
tender and that they are crinkling
down; for this reason great deal of
wheat has been cut green; where the
rains We're heavy much wheat and oats
are so badly down and tangled that
great labor is necessary to gather the
crop, but it is said that the binders
gather all of the grain and that the
heads are generally we'll filed. Bar
ley is good crop, though the grain is
dlscolored; most of it is in stack.
Examinations Abolished.
At the annual meeting of the state
high school board it was decided to
abolish the examinations to which
state high school graduates have been
subjected in the past before they could
enter the university. The subject was
brought up at the June meeting by
Gov. Lind, who suggested that these
examinations were great nervous
strain upon the pupils, and that the
graduates of state high schools should
be qualified for admission to the
university without undergoing this
ordeal. A committee consisting of
President Northrup of the university
and State Superintendent Lewis was
appointed to devise some system by
which the examination might be abol-
ished and at the same time the stand
ard maintained. George B. Alton, in
spector of high schools, presented his
of state aid to the high and graded
schools was discussed.
A Murder.
Frank Millman, found dead in pool
of blood under a bridge near the rail-
way station at Wayzata was murdered.
At the time of the finding of the body
it was supposed Millman had been
fatally injured in an attempt to board
a moving train and had crawled under
the bridge to die, but at the post NOR
tenn examination Deputy Coroner Erd-
man discovered 3S-caliber bullet
lodged in the dead mans head near his
left ear. The nature of the wound
proved conclusively that it was not
self-inhicted, and the police were at
once notified that murder had been
committed.
Cases of Hog Cholera.
The rumor that diseased pork was
being sold in Winona started the local
board of health on a tour of investiga-
ton with the result that number of
porkers were found that were evident
ly suffering with hog cholera. 1t was
found that the animals were dying at a
lively rate and that the local glue fac
tory was receiving on an average of
four day. This state of affairs was
found to exist in quarter of the city
inhabited by Poles, and in several in
stances portions of the dead animals
were found in the ice boxes ready for
consumption.

TO RELIEVE CAPTAIN BEACH.
Changes Made i'm the Supervision 0f
Municipal business.

An order was issued at the District Build
ing today. directing several important
changes in the supervision of the business
of the municipal offices.
Commissioner Wight will hereafter have
charge of the District Electrical Depart
ment, with the exception of the subject of
oonduits which will continue under the
charge of Captain Beach, the District
Engineer Commissioner. Commissioner
Wight will also have charge of the renting
and leasing of wharves. while the purely
engineering features. involving construc-
tion and repairs of wharves, will be under
Captain Beach.
These changes were made to relieve Cap
tain Beach. whose work is very heavy. and
who. until the selection of Captain w. E.
Craighill to assist him, carried the heavy
burden of his Office alone. Former Engi-
reer Commissioners have been allowed sew
eral assistants. but this was impossible in
the case OF Captain Beach. owing to the
demand of regular army engineers for the
strictly military branch of the service dur
ing the war Although Captain Beach has
been crowded with work ever since his ap-
pointment, he has never complained and
the subdivision of work determined upon
today was the result of voluntary offer
on the part of Commissioner Wight to lend
him some assistance.

ROOSEVELT IN MILWAUKEE,.
Rides In the Carnival ProceasiOn
and In Heartily Cheered.

Milwaukee, June Ex-Governor Rooss-
welt came to town at time when the ho-
tells were full OF politicians and the Re-
publican leaders OF the State were among
his earliest callers today. The governor
rested during the early part of the day
and at noon he was entertained at lun-
cheon at the Milwaukee Club, together
with Captain Hodgson, who commanded
the McCulloch in the battle of Manila Bay.
After that he went 10 the Press Club and
wrote his name in chalk on a wall where
other distinguished men have left their
autographs. Carnival crowds filled the
streets and wherever the governor ap-
peared. he was cheered, the Wisconsin
volunteers who served in the war with
Spain giving him a particularly rousing
reception. II had been given out that the
colonel of the Rough Riders liked to re
called Teddy and that name was shout
ed at him by thousands of his friends on
the curbstone
This afternoon Governor Roosevelt rode
with Governor Scofield OF Wisconsin at
the head Of the carnival floral parade
This affair took place two hours earlier
than the programme announced. because
Milwaukee people wanted Governor
Roosevelt to see and take part in il. and
at the same time promise had been made
10 return him il time to Chicago TO catch
an evening train for New York.

other members Of the group were also in

substantially higher than the local closing
