MINNESOTA NOT BEHIND
COMMISSIONER MCCONNELL CONTRA
Diets MIR. M0ORE's STATEMENT
While Admitting That There Is
Grcat~4sOom for Improvement, He
Says Other States Do Not Average
Higher Yield Per Cow Than
Minnesota Does.

Some days ago Hamlin V. Poore, in dis
Cussing MinnesQtas butter industry de-
cared that while Minnesota was at the
top in the quality of its butter, that in
the average annual yield per cow Mime
sofa was behind every other state in the
Union, a fact which he deplored
Commissioner Mcconnell, when his at
tention was called to this statement yes
terday, said that he did not have at hand
the authoritative figures to contradict
this statement, but he was confident that
1t was not true. An Iowa dairy paper
few weeks ago reports the annual aver
age yield in that state to be but 81 pounds.
while according to Mr.. PORES figures
Mtnnesota's average is $50 pounds per
COW.
1T is a difficult matter to get exact sta
tlstics of this kind for every state,'' said
Mr. Mcconnell, .'but 1 do not believe, in
deed, I do not hesitate to say that 1
know, that Minnesota's average yield Of
butter per cow is not lower than in most
of the other states. In figuring the aver
age yield it must be remembered that
cows are taken into consideration that do
not contribute to creamery and dairy pur-
poses more than few weeks out of every
year. This is especially true in Northern
Minnesota, where cows are raised mostly
for beef purposes. In Mower county, for
over 200 pounds, while in Stearns county
it is, l believe, 128 pounds. Mower county
is reputed all over the country to be one
of the very best dairy counties in the
United States, and the last report of the
department of agriculture paid quite a
compliment to Mower county by publish
ing map of the county with the loca-
ton of its creameries, as one of the
model dairy counties of the country. So
it will be perceived that an average yield
Of $50 pounds is not so bad after all.
mo one can deny that there are i'm
mense possibilities in increasing this aver
age yield in this state. We have much to
learn yet. AS 1 said to T h Clio e
some time ago, almost one-fourth Of the
cows in this state kept for creamery
purposes do not pay for their keep and
should be sent to the slaughter house. If
this were done, and if every farmer
buckled down to the business proposition
to make every cow account for herself
by proving her ability to pay fair profit,
the average yield would be greatly in
creased.
We are making continual progress in
butter making here as elsewhere. an
am not worrying that some other state
may have a little higher average than we
have We will learn from those states
which are ahead of us, and stimulate
those states which are below u.s."

KEEP BAD FOOD OUT
JObbers Of st. Paul Have AS
sisted State Dairy De-
partment
HOW THEY HAVE DONE IT
At JObbers' Request Department Has
Inspected $500 Barrels Of For

HOW THEY HAVE DONE IT

The gratifying results Of our pure
food work in this state would have been
impossible had it not been for the most
cordial cooperation Of the jobbers OF
the Twin Cities" said Assistant Dairy
and Food Commissioner Dingman yes
terday. They have assisted US in every
possible way, to prevent the sale of il
legal products in the state Every day
we have request from some of them
70 inspect goods they have just received
from manufacturers. We inspect them
Immediately upon their receipt in ST
Faul, and whenever the goods are found
TO be below Minnesota standard the
Jopbers return them to the manufactur-
ers and refuse to take them. You would
be surprised to learn the exact number
OF times We have done this. We have
inspected $500 barrels of vinegar upon
It's receipt in st. Paul and whenever it
ala not come up to legal requirements
we mad the pledge of the jObber that
not one ounce of it would be sold to
dealers in this state. This is certainly
very ample protection to home indus
tries, is it nOt?"
The department is kept busy these
days and if it had a dozen more men,
couId utilize them to advantage. The
NUMBER OF samples sent in by the inspec-
LOTS VINO are going about the state Is
OFTEN as high as 100 day These come
li4O9IlS from new localities where the
department has not worked to any ex
tent before. 1t has been proved again
and again that when the inspectors cover
one town thoroughly very few cases are
ever afterwards reported from that com
munlty. 1t proves that the dealers for
the most part are eager to abide. by the
law, and as soon as they ascertain what
goods are illegal they dump them out
ana do not sell them any more. 1T is
very common thing" said Mr.. Dfngman
yesterday, ITO see merchants in small
towns taking whole dray full of con-
demned goods back to the depot to re-
turn them direct to the manufacturers.
If the manufacturer will not make good
the amount of the goods and pay the
me which the merchants have been taxed
Tor the violation, he sells no more goods
in that community
"A work as great as this cannot be
done In minute We have much to do
yet. But our progress has been all that
could be desired. With the help of the
merchants it will not be very long be-
fore it will be practically impossible to
ind illegal food products in the stores
The dealers understand that the law is
not to prosecute them, but to protect
them, and the manufacturers are learn
ing that they have not to fight the dairy
and food department, but the dealers.
and as it is a question Of dollars ana
cents with them, they Will sbey the
law as matter OF business"

SHAMEFUL.

Ihe said Thomas Harmon came to
MS death Saturday, March Is, 1902 The
death was caused by poison, kind un-
kncWn; means unknown to this Jury.
We recommend further Investigation bv
the proper authorities
This is the verdict of the coroner's Jury
in this case. In the light of it there are
newspaper writer's and politicians who ap-
parently do not hesitate to impute murder
10 members Of this poor family. More
than that, there are those unfeeling and
base enough to drag the sorrows of those
unfortunate people into politics, and in
the accomplishment of their sordid ends.
give repeated public expression to the
statement that this boy had been muir
dered by his own kindred, and that the
officials of this city are dereIict in their
duty in not securing the conviction for
murder Of some member Of the Harmon
family.
Politics can reach no lower level of
brutal degradation than is involved in
this assumption.
There is not scintilla of evidence that
a crime has been committed here. The
evidence that the boy died of poison rests
wholly on the analysis of DR.. REM.
Neither DIR. REM nor any other bacteri-
ologist is infallible. That a reasonable
doubt could remain in the minds of o+harS
than DR.. REM on this score is evident
from a perusal Of the report of the pro-
cecdings of the inquest contained in one
Of the Republican local papers. We
quote from that report the following
language:
DR.. REM also increased the doubt
as to the cause of death by saying that
Lnere We're other alkaloids that medical
men knew little about, except that they
existed. They were poisonous ptomaines
formed by the decomposition of animal
or vegetable matter, and the physiologi-
cal effects would be the same as in
aconite They might be produced in the
stomach by impure food or tainted
meats, or they might exist in the food
before 1t was taken into the stomach"
The parents of the deceased boy are
poor people-so poor, in fact, that the
chance of their finding any volunteer de-
Tenders against the awful crime sought
to be laid at their door is but slight.
They are Industrious. moral and law
abiding in their lives, as all the public
knowledge of them goes to establish be-
yond all doubt. They have in a few
brief weeks been deprived of three of
their little children. Where is the af-
fcctionate father or mother in the com
munity that would deny them tear in
their affection? Is it not monstrous to-
think that, burdened as they are by the
