MINNESOTA captured everything in
sight in the first butter scoring at the
st. Louis Worlds Fair Saturday. Butter
men say that her record in this event is
phenomenal and compliments are being
showered profusely on the Bread and
Butter state for the wonderful showing
made. Minnesota takes first and
second place for creamery butter, first
on dairy butter and first on print but
ter. Thirty-five other of our exhibits
scored 96 or better and places them in
the gold medal class while over eighty
scored for the silver medal. No one
ever heard of such surprising record
before. 1t is phenomenal.

TWELVE years ago the average Min
nesota cow produced 81 pounds of but
ter. The record for 1902 was 1866 pounds.
Two years ago there we're $50 creamer-
les; at the present time, 679. Through
improved methods in feeding, we shall
be able to reach the 200-pound mark.
Experience is demonstrating that the
modern winter dairying is the most
profitable. Dairy farms are in many
cases bringing $25 per acre more than
exclusive grain farms. We now have
over 100 creameries that are receiving
from III to 2 cents premium over New
York's highest quotations. Minnesota
surpasses all other states in prize win
ing butter scores.

BURYlNG TREE TRUNKS.

BENEFITS of Mount1ing With Earth.
. The Root Feeding Surface. ,..h2
III Informed cultivators have but
faint idea of the reasons why trees
should not be deeply planted. It., is
not because Of any injury to the
trunks, but because the feeding roots
need the oxygen Of the atmosphere
in the preparation of the food just as
much as the leaves do. So far as the
trunk is concerned, burying under the
earth Is benefit rather than an in
jury. If it were possible to have the
stems or trunks several feet beneath
the surface and the roots only few
inches the vigOr Of the tree would be
enhanced thereby. But, though this
is impossible, earth On the surface can
be heaped around the trr1'z to advan-
tage as long as we do Ut bury too
great root feeding surface. This
was we'll exemplified nearly half a
century ago by peach grower near
Cincinnati named Bolmar. He had
earth by the cart load heaped around
his peach trees. His orchard had the
appearance Of being covered by minia-
ture haystacks. The growth and gen
eral health Of the trees were so re-
markable that the owner was moved
to secure a patent for the idea. The
patent would not hold. No one could
be restrained against earthing up
fruit tree any more than earthing up
row Of celery. But it was grand
object lesson, and be deserved some
recompense. There can be no doubt
that it would be to the advantage of or
chardists generally to have mounds Of
earth around the base of their fruit
trees, and it Is surprising that such
good practice Is 50 generally Ignored

To the Pioneers of flower County.
From the North and the South from the East
and the West,
From over the ocean main,
We have h1ther come on the varying quest,
OF our work. or wealth, or fame.
Here's health to each worthy pioneer
Who wrought at the corner stone.
And a health to the builders, far and near,
Who have added each his own.
Ye have wrought this prairie, broad and bare,
Where the wolf and the IadIan strayed,
To the streets and homes of a city fair,
Astir with the life of trade.
Ye had many weary day of toll,
And many a want was known,
Before ye won from the untamed soil
The plenty that's now your own.
With strong resolve you broke the ground,
With steadfast courage sowed;
And your faith and work the years have crowned
With many golden load.
You leave to your sons an easier lot,
In goodly heritage,
And the settlers struggles are soon forgot,
In the rush of the growing age.
The cid must yield to the stalwart new,
As the wheel of Time goes round,
And the change that in all beside we view,
Be sure in ourselves is found.
So many faces are missing here
OF those whom we used to greet;
Old friends and neighbors, and kindred dear,
Never more on earth to meet.
We are passing away and, as one by one
We shall enter the unseen land,
Be it ours to hear the glad well done!''
AS before our Judge we stand.
We shall leave our place for the next to fill.
And our names will be forgot;
But the mark make, be it good or ill.,
Will abide and alter not.

THE HEATING
Of Sleeping Cars a Problem-Englisf
Method N. G..

The sleeping car conductors that
pass through here say that the latest
problem, and one which will not be
easily solved is that of adjusting the
heating arrangements Of the sleepers
to the personal peculiarities Of each
passenger. The English method is now
being adopted in some quarters. By
this method the passenger can turn
the heat on or off in his own COM
partment, without affecting the rest
Of the car. But this method is not
proving popular, on account of the
fact that the English cars are built
differently from the American ones.
The sleepers on the trains which
pass through here are almost perfect
types of the sleeping car builders

What the Milwaukee Chief of Police
Intends to Do.

Milwaukee, June 30.-No little in
terest is centered about Chief Of Po-
lice Jansen, who has started out to
see that the small boy, his larger
brother, father, or grandfather, does
not explode any frecrackers or fire
works on the glorious Fourth. Chief
Jansen has issued stringent orders
to the police to arrest every person
caught firing frecrackers or setting
off fireworks on the Fourth of July.
Such orders have been issued in for
mer years, and have been more hon
ored in the breach than in the obser-
vance. Patrolmen have always been
looking the other way when any small
boy or national enthusiast set off
crackers in that vicinity.
The chief says that this year the in
structions "go.' Any policeman
found afflicted with midsummer blind
ness so as not to be able to see per-
sons, whoever they may be, violating
the ordinance, will be in danger of
losing his star. The reason for the
stringent action Of Chief Jansen is
a resolution Of the council asking him
to see that the use Of firecrackers and
fireworks is prohibited this year.
While the chief thinks it would have
been better to prohibit their sale than
to prevent their use, he will do his
best.
