ECONOMIC FORESTRY.
Gen. Andrews Advocates Preserving the
Forests of Minnesota.

In his lecture before the normal
school Friday Gen. G. G. Andrews
chief forest fire warden of Minnesota,
said that the leading principles OF
forestry are that the forest which is
to be permanent should occupy only
land that is too sandy, too hilly or too
rocky for successful agriculture; that
the forest when young should be
crowded so as to promote height
growth; that the cutting should be
done SO as to promote natural regenera.
tion and that the forest should be treat.
ed as an inviolable capital and no more
be cut in year or series of years than
grows in the entire forest the same
period.
There is no tree in the world in such
universal demand as our white pine;
as the world increases in population
and wealth the demand for our pine
will increase, fact which should make
us consider how to preserve such a re-
source. 1t is very notable that in our
climate this valuable pine will grow on
land that is too hilly, too sandy or too
rocky for farming. The pine which is
cut in Minnesota in single winter is
worth, just as it stands in the woods,
90, 600, 900; when brought to the mills
and sawed it's value is increased to $40,
600, 900, and as it is worked up in the
various industries its value goes on in
creasing-labor getting the principal
benefit. This illustrates how our for
ests contribute to the general wealth.
But the forest also affords some indirect
benefits. 1t enriches the soil. It lends
beauty to scenery. 1t ameliorates
climate. The temperature of the for
est is little cooler in summer and a
little warmer in winter than the tenn
perature of the open country, The at
mosphere of the forest like that of the
sea, is richer in ozone and healthier
than that of the open country. Through
tne numus or It's soil 1t serves as a
natural reservoir of moisture and helps
supply the regulate water flow. In
summer it is barrier to the hot south
wind and in winter to the cold north
wind.
Our pine forests in Minnesota are
rapidly being cut and one of the urgent
questions for the consideration of the
people is what can be done for rsfor-
esting such of the lands in the state as
are unfit for agriculture. There are a
few million acres of such lands and
competent foresters say that if planted
with pine they would yield a handsome
revenue, Experience of other coun.
tries proves this.

NO HOLDS BARRED.
Arrangements for the Coming Wrestling
Match Are Completed.

The committee on arrangements for
the wrestling match held meeting
Friday and decided on program for
the evening of the match, to fill in the
time between bouts. The curtain will
go up at $50 o'clock sharp, and the
Concordia band or orchestra will fur
nish music. G. A. Roscoe and VIM.
Youst will do some statute work, show
ing the various holds in wrestling, and
these will be explained to the audience.
Between the first and second bouts
members of the Athletic club will exer-
else on the parallel bars. Between the
second and third bouts there will be
club swinging by Messrs, Roscoe and
Youst. If there are more than three
bouts something will be put on in the
intervals
The articles of agreement between
Rooney and Faulkner for the coming
match. Feb. Goth, provide thatno holds
shall be barred. This is in accordance
with Rooney's desire. Unfair tactics
will be barred. The winner must put
two points down, both shoulders pinned

audience is to be invited to the stage to
see that the weight of each contestant
is not over two pounds either way from

REMAINS ARRIVE.
Paralysis Of the Heart Caused VIM. T

From Saturdays Daily:
The remains of the late VIM. T. Mills

Geo. 81. Davis will preach the sermon,
and the Masons will then take charge
of the remains.
The coroner's inquest, held in Mime
apolis yesterday afternoon, developed d
the cause of death to have been paraly-
sis of the heart. Mr.. Mills had recently
complained of a sudden numbness in
his limbs, as though some one had
sstruck him blow with club, This
occurred on two occasions and was fol-
lowed for several days with stiffness.
One of these occasions was in Mime

PRISON TWINE.

At a meeting of the board of prison
managers at Saltwater Tuesday, it was
decided to fix the price of pure sisal
twine at ten cents per pound to the
farmers. and manila and sisal mixed
at 12a cents. No pure manila twine
will be made this year, and not more
than 100000 pounds of the mixed
These prices are free on board cars at
Saltwater, and are cost prices. The
output of the prison twine plant this
year will be about 100000 pounds.
This is between one-third and one-half
the total binding twine consumption of
the state. The prison managers already
have from 700 to 800 applications for
twine, 80 that farmers who want twine
from the prison plant should put in
their applications at once. In circular
which the board has ordered to be sent
out to the applicants for twine is the
following explanatory matter:
During the season from Aug 1, 1897,
to Aug. 1, 1898, prices of Manila hemp
ranged from 4sc to &c, and of sisal from
3sc to 5sc per pound. For the year
1S9S-1S99, about 100000 pounds of
Manila were carried over, which cost
on an average of 435 cents per pound.
The price of Manila for the same year
ranged from 6sc to 7Bc per pound, and
the price of sisal from Lice to 7&c per
pound. For the current year, Aug. 1,
1899, to Aug. 1, 1900, the average cost
of sisal purchased by us has been 9.04
cents per pound, delivered at Saltwater,
which is little more than double the
average price of 1897 and 1898. The ad.
vance in twine oil has been about 200
per cent. In view of these facts, the
price established by the board of man
ayers barely covers the cost of material,
cost of the manufacture and reason

citation of the plant,

are the so called religious mendicants,
who are protected by the church and
tolerated by the police; the second are
the common vababonds. Their nation
al name among themselves is Gori-
ouns-mournerS or victims of grief. If
you ask them why they do not work
and the great majority are perfectly
able to do so--they reply in the forlorn-

am a Gorioun, a victim of sorrow"

cry and sadness, and they pose as men,

In advice about soupmaking you will
frequently be reminded that the scum
which rises to the surface when pre-
pairing the stock should be removed.
There is no reason in thus removing
what is in reality meat juice coagulat-
ed by the heat. If you allow it to re-
main until the boiling point is reached,
1t will disappear in the stock and in
crease its value. When preparing
chicken stock, put the fowl, disjointed,
in cold water sufficient to it and
let it slowly hea< to boiling point. Re-
serve the breast, however. and when
the water is boiling place it on the top
of the other pieces, where it will steam
without being under water. Cover the
kettle closely and let it simmer for at
least four hours. The breast will then
be in a good condition to use in salads
or in any dish requiring chicken meat,
while the stock is ready for use.
