WEED OUT POOR cows.

From Saturdays Daily.
: A. w. Trow, of the state dairy and
food commission, who during the last
four months has been conducting a
special investigation of the care, feeding,
and pro~ductiveness of 200 representative
cows in southern Minnesota, reports that
there is a marvellous difference in the
production of milk of COWS of the same
breed, herd and surrounding conditions.
The investigation is furnishing surpris-
ing facts and food for thought for Mime
sofa farmers" said Mr.. Trow. son one
farm / found two cows of the same
breed, eating the same feed, running in
the same pasture, having the same care
and surrounded by the same conditions.
One COW produced twenty-three pounds
of butter a month; the other produced
s~ixty-three. This investigation teaches
the farmers the necessity of wedding out
unproductive cows. Some cows are not
naturally as good milk producers as
others. They onsume just as much
feed and require just as much care. Why
should the farmer support them at a
loss? Such cows should be sold for beef,
and the more productive cows should be
saved for milking"

CALL FOR MONEY.
Y. N. c. A. Will Prepare to Erect the
New Building.
From Saturdays Daily.

The Y. M. C. A. building committee
yesterday decided to advertise for bids
on the excavations necessary for their
new building, which is to be built on the
corner of Second and Cherry streets, and
have accordingly advertised in this pa
per for same.
The collection of pledges was discussed,
and while a great amount of work would
be saved by having the pledges payable in
full at this time, yet to make it easier
for the subscribers it was decided that
it should be called in in assessments as
the money will be required. After due
elaboration IN assessment of one-fourth,
or twenty-five per cent of the amounts
pledged will be asked for. 1t is desired
that this assessment shall be paid in at
once to the treasurer of the association,
and as the payment has been divided up
in this manner. every subscriber should
be perfectly willing to send his assess
ment in at once. Checks can be made out
in favor of G. L. Holmes, treasurer of
the Y. M. G. A. and handed or mailed to
him or to President w. D. Willard or
Secretary A. C. Gran. The payments
will be duly credited and receipts given.
The declaring of assessments does not
necessarily prevent any or all from pay
ing their pledges in full if they so desire.
If this could be done the secretary would
be relieved of much work, both in collect
ing and keeping accounts.

FARMERS TO ORGANIZE.
Minnesota YoemenrY to Meet in Con-
vention at ST. Paul, Oct. 6.
From Saturdays Daily.

Farmers of Minnesota will do a little
trust forming themselves on Oct. 6, when
they will meet at the capitol to ANAL
gamate the various farmers organiza-
tions into the Farmers National Coop
~erative Exchange company, a national
concern to regulate the marketing of the
farm products of the United States
and backed by a mere trifle of about
$50 900 in capital and 100000 mem
bers. At the coming convention the or
ganization work inaugurated recently in
Chicago will be extended to Minnesota
and plans laid for the handling of Min
nesota agricultural products by the
farmers trust.
The cooperative company is the result
of the amalgamation of the Consumers
and Producers union, chartered in Ten
nessee; the American Society of Equity
and the National Cooperative Exchange
company. The organizations have a
membership of about 100000 farmers.
The organizers plan the establishment
of elevators, warehouses, stock yards and
other facilities to handle and control
the volumes of farm products seeking a
market. 1t is proposed to regulate the
visible supply" and to hold it back dur
ing times when prices are low.
It is believed that the organization
can maintain a steady level of good
prices for agricultural products by adapt
ing the supply to the conditions of the
market. The organization does away
with the middlemen and will deal di-
rectly with 1t will make an
effort to prevent the accumulation of
large supplies in public warehouses, re-
in depression of prices.
The cooperative exchange is repre-
scented in Minnesota by C. E. Jackson of
Buchanan, vice-president for the state.
Mr.. jackson has issued the call for the
convention, and stated last night
at the Foley hotel that he expects two
delegates from each county of the state,
in addition to a large attendance of
agriculturists not delegates. President
Robert Lindblom and Vice-president Carr
will attend and President Everts of the
National Exchange will also be present.
Plans for the extension of the work in
Minnesota will be discussed and steps
taken to bring the producers of the state
into touch with the facilities of the ex-
change for handling their crops.
The exchange is a stock concern, and
it's stock is held by the farmers who are
it's members. 1t is a business concern
exclusively and attempts no part in poll
tics.

ALLEGED NEW EVIDENCE.
Something More Doing in the Case of
the Nelson Brothers.
From Saturdays Daily.

Since Judge Buckham denied the mo
ton for a new trial for Charles anG
Henry Nelson, who are CONVICTED of thu
murder of Harry H. Krier, it has beer
rumored more orr less extensively about
town that the state was in possession OF
some newly discovered evidence of a very
important character.
According to this rumor a Mrs. Louis
Mikolas, who lives on the west side OF
north Cedar street not far from the scene
of the crime, saw two young men in the
woods just before them tie handkerchiefs
over their faces, later saw them chasing
another man, presumably Mr.. Krier, over
through the fence and down the bluff
along the railroad track, and shortly
after heard some shots.
The Chronicle has investigated the
rumor and has been unable to verify it.
When interviewed yesterday morning by
The Chronicle Mrs. Mikolas said that she
did see two boys go through the grove
back of her house on that afternoon
but neither of them tied handkerchiefs
over their faces and she did not see them
chasing anybody.
1t has recently been discovered that
Sutton and the two Nelson's were seen
near the depot restaurant shortly after
the crime was committed. The person
who saw them did not testify at any
hearing or court proceeding had in the
case and when visited by the Chronicle
reporter did not want to say anything
about what he knew. This man is John
A. Sommervold, who is employed at the
Washington Tool %Company's shops. He
finally said that he did see the Nelson's
and Sutton OH the afternoon the murder
was committed. He wa at work in the
factory and shortly after four-thirty
O'Clock that afternoon he saw the boys
come over toward the depot restaurant
from the direction of the crime. They
talked a short time and Sutton left them
and came up Front street toward town.
The Nelson's went toward their
home. He knew Sutton went direct to
Clauson & Horak's saloon because a
fellow worker of Sommervold's was in
the saloon at that time and said that
came in about five o'clock. He
asked the barkeeper for a drink of water
and acted suspiciously. The water he
drank at a single gulp and the bar-keep-
er jokingIy asked him to have another.
That is how the men happened to re-
member the incident so distinctly.
There are no new developments in the
of the appeal made to the SUI
preme CONTRIBUTIONS Chronicle.
The Nelson's spend a great deal of their
time in jail reading the bible. They are
beginning to realize their sad predica-
ment.
