TEST OF DAIRY COWS
PATE IN LOUISIANA EXPOSE
TION CONTEST
PLANS FOR SCHEME OUTLINED
State Experiment stations to Super-
wise Preliminary State Tests,
Cows to Be Sent to ST.
Louis for Finals.

Dairy Commissioner Mcconnell has re-
celved plans for a proposed test Of dairy
breeds Of cows at the st. Louis eXposi-
ton, with the request hat the project
receive full discussion in the agricultural
press of the state from now on in order
that the farmers may become interested
in it and lend their assistance. The plan
is to have a preliminary test by states
the testing Of individual cows at the
nome of the owners by representatives of
the state experiment station, and finally
an exhibition of all the cows together
at the st. Louis exposition.
1t is suggested that breeders owning
valuable dairy cows should notify the
experiment station Of desire TO enter the
contest. The test IS 10 extend over
period of from eight 10 ten months and
consist of at least three tests Of two
weeks each, the test to commence from
fourteen to twenty-eighU days after fresh
ening, the second between ia and 125
days, and the third between PA and 22S
days after. All the tests are to be made
under the supervision OF tive representa-
tives of All experiment station, whq
would watch the cows carefully day and
night, note the care, weigh the food and
make notations of all important matters
connected with the test. 1t is suggested
from fifty to one hundred prizes be Of
fered for net profits, for value of total
SondS, tCr value OF butterfat, etc.
After the. state tests have been made
and the results tabulated, all the cows
are tc be exhibited, for the purpose Of
testing, on the grounds of the exposition
for period of from two to three weeks.
to be seen and critically inspected by
those who desire to study their conforma-
ton.
1t is estimated that the cost of testing
a COW in this manner will not exceed $3.50
1t is also suggested that the sum Of S. 1000
be appropriated either by the state legis.
lature or from the general appropriation
for exposition purposes, to pay the cost
of these tests Where it is possible an
appropriation could also be made for
duplicating the prizes Of the exposition
in each state
A plan similar to this has been pursued
in several of the Eastern states at the
state fairs and has proved of great value
to breeders.

herewith a publication Of TroWbridge &

earnings of said company to be far IN
excess of their report. The publication,
as you will notice by the inclosed sheet,
would indicate that there Is very man

the Twin City company, as 1 understand
it, are $50 per annum for residence and
$48 per annum for business places.

have less than 1880 subscribers in both
cities, allowing nothing for toll line pusl-

at $4,000.

BARRIERS START BOYCOTT
KRUMECK BROS. DID NOT CLOSE
AT Z O'CLOCK.

There appears to be a difference of
opinion among the boss BARRIERS of the
city relative to the hour of closing Last
night Krurneck Bros, who have shops at
2S9 and 245 East Seventh, did not close
at o'clock, which was the hour decided
upon by the other bosses of the city for
closing after April l.
The failure on the part of these shops
to close at this time brought a large
crowd of union. men of all trades on the
street in front of the shops and cards
asking people to help the cause of short
err hours for the BARRIERS were passed
around. The procedure on the part of the
outsiders was in the nature of boycott,
and every person that appeared to need
a shave was requested not to patroniZe
the shops that did not close at Z o'clock.
Krumeck Bros. said last night that
there had been a meeting of the bosses
of tie shops east of Jackson street three
weeks ago and that it had been decided
by them that they could not afford to
close at o'clock, as the nature of their
trade prevented it. In their two shops
there are ten chairs and the attendants
at each remained at work last night.
BARRIERS from other shops maintain that
krumeck Bros. have the same trade as
any others and that they can afford to
close at as well as the rest. They will
maintain a picket line around the shops

scoring would have to be so well done that
no exceptions could be taken to it. lie

Minnesota takes especial pride in the
good showing made by Minnesota butter

Gov. Van SAINT yesterday issued his Ar
Dor day proclamation, appointing Friday
April 49, as Arbor and Bird day. and
urging the general observance through
out the state. In the proclamation his
excellency is more poetic and fancifu1
than is his usual wont. He S1Lapes the
prosaic formality of the customary exec
utive document by free play of spring
time imagery. The governor recommends
also that the day be made general me-
mortal day for the late President Nc
Kinley
The proclamation is as follows:
Pursuant to an enactment of the iegis-
lature, and in accord with universal Gus
tom, l, as governor of the state of Min
nesota, do hereby fix and appoint Friday,
April 49, as Arbor and Bird day, and
earnestly urge the observance thereof
throughout the state. Approaching
springtide has brought back to us the
song birds which make Minnesota their
summer home, and the bursting buds
suggest the planting of trees, shrubbery
and vines, that our homes and public
places may be made more beautiful and
attractive. [ especially urge that upon
the day indicated appropriate exercises
be held in every school within the state
to the end that our youth ma, be taught
to appreciate the beauties anf the impor-
lance of protecting and preserving the
birds of our state.
1 further recommend, in common with
the executives of many other states of
the Union, that upon said day trees be
planted in memory of William Mckinley,
our late lamented president. His wen
known love for trees and the beauties OF
nature make it especially appropriate
that his memory be thus honored
