Buy Milk on Grade.

Creamery men throughout the state
will be interested in a proposition that
milk be purchased on grade similar to
the manner in which wheat is bought
1t is suggested that less be paid for
milk that is dirty, and this will be an
incentive to farmers to keep the liquid
free from faint or odors. There is merit
in the idea advanced. The creameries at
present pay for milk on the basis of the
amount of butter fat it contains, accord
ing to test. The price received for but
ter depends upon it's quality. Butter
made from milk that is dirty or tainted
by odors cannot be sold for nearly so
much per pound as butter from milk
that is free from dirt and odors The
age of the milk delivered also shows in
the quality of the milk delivered. Mime
sofa creameries are now producing the
finest butter in the world, and are linn
tied only by the deficient quality of milk
delivered, possibly by only one or two
patrons of the creamery. The present
system offers the farmer no incentive
to keep his cows and barns clean or to
take extraordinary care against odors in
keeping the milk, as he is paid solely
on the basis of butter fat the milk con-
tains.

itself, to repel any wrong, and in ex
ceptional cases to take action which in
a more advanced stage of international
relations would come under the head of
the exercise of the international police.
There are many other features of the
message which will command the favor
able comment of the public. The presi-
dent directs the attention of congress to
a number of subjects which should re-
ceive the careful consideration of that
body. Among the many recommends
tons is one relating to the enactment of
a law directed against bribery and cor
ruption in federal elections. The bal
lot must be purified, and measures
should be adopted that will bring about
this much desired thing.

EAGLE LAKE ROAD.
Property Owners Want City to Stand
Most Of Cost Of Maeadamizins.
From Thursdays Daily.

The board of public works this after.
noon adjourned the hearing on the con-
firmation of the assessment for the
macadamizing of Rhine street until Mon
day afternoon at the request of some Of
the property owners. Quite a number of
the property owners object to paying as
large amounts as have been assessed
against them, and have retained Pau &
Pfau to look after their interests. The
city has agreed to pay one-fourth of
the expense, and the board has assessed
the balance to the property.
The property owners contend that the
city should pay at least two thirds of
the cost, as the road is thoroughfare,
being the main Eagle Lake road, and the
city paid the entire expense of the st.
Peter road. The adjournment was Sc
cured in order that the council may be
asked at its meeting tomorrow night
to assume a larger proportion OF the
expense.

The Farmer and Recipreci Y.

The Minneapolis Journal comments in
terestingly on the recent report of Sec
rotary Wilson of the Agricultural de-
partment, and holds to the belief that
under the present prosperous and stable
condition of the farmers in the United
States reciprocity arrangement with
Canada could not hurt them. The Jour-
nal says that the indications are that
there are many good years ahead of the
farmer. 1t is doubtful if there will
ever be such low level of prices in the
future as there was in the middle nine
ties. Henceforth the farmer will profit
by unearned increment as well as by the
earned. There are no more great areas
of cheap fertile lands in the republic
to be thrown into competition with old
and less productive lands. The increas-
ed crops of the future must come from
more of yield to the acre instead of
more acres. The acres that irrigation
may add will not be numerous enough
to offset the prices of old land ad-
versely. Irrigated land is costly before a
plow has been driven into it, and the
supply is small compared with the de-
mand.
Even if some reciprocal arrangement
with Canada were to make much of the
agricultural produce of that country
available for the American market, the
price of lands would not be disturbed and
the argument for good times for the
farmer would not be affected Canada
finds good and high-priced market in
Europe for its agricultural products, and
it is only by paying as much or more
than Europe that we could get them.
In many instances that would mean pay
ing more than we are now paying to our
own farmers. Wheat is an exception.
but our farmers are quitting wheat
raising for more profitable pursuits.
Moreover, there is not relatively such
vast area of good agricultural land in
western Canada as has sometimes been
supposed. At the present rate, of settle
ment, the occupation of all of that
land will soon be effected. Already land
prices are beginning to advance in west
ern Canada.

ELMER GRlcE WINS.
Enters the Best Field Corn in the Ora
per & Petersen Contest.
From Fridays Daily.


per & Petersen Contest.
From Fridays Daily.
The corn contest inaugurated by. Drap.
er & Petersen, the enterprising grocers.
ended last night. The contest was for
the best sample of field corn, and was
confined to the farmers of Blue Earth
and Nicollet counties. The terms of the
contest were that the farmer bringing
the best ten ears of corn raised in these
two counties was to receive SIS in gro
ceries. lgH
About sixty farmers entered the con-
test, and brought their best corn to the
store, where it is on exhibition. w. l..
Wilson, David Crane and William Sharp
were appointed judges of the corn, and
they all three agreed that the ears en-
tered by Elmer Grice of Nicollet coun-
ty were the best, and awarded him the
prize. The corn entered by Mr.. Grice is
certainly fine corn. The ears are of
medium size, uniform, filled out to the
ends, dry and hard and of fine quail
ty. The kernels are in straight rows.
Some of the other samples were larger,
but had a greater proportion of cob
and were not as nice corn. Some were a
little damp. But on the whole, the en-
tire display is of excellent quality and
shows that this section is right in the
corn belt. a.

PROPERTY RETURNED.
Roy Stanton Found the Articles Los
BY G. A. Lewis.

The package that G. A. Lewis lost two
weeks ago last night while returning
from Loon lake in his automobile was
returned to him yesterday noon by Roy
Stanton, who lives four miles south
west of Garden City. Mr.. Stanton states
that he found the sack near the west
end of the Blue Earth river bridge as he
was driving out of the city in the eve
ming, just after he had passed Mr..
Lewis automobile. He took the sack
home and waited to see whether any
one advertised for it. He saw a notice
of the loss in last weeks Weekly Free
Press and at once returned the property
to its owner.
Everything was in the sack in good
shape when it was returned, and Mr..
Lewis was very glad to get it back. Mr..
Stanton refused to accept a reward. The
package contained 500 shot gun, full
suit of hunting clothes, rubber boots,
shells, etc.

Governors FayOrs.
Positions That will Be at Disposal Of New Executive.

Governor johnson will have the dispos-
al of patronage that is considered to be
worth at least $l5O,OOO per annum.
Under the law the governor has the
power to appoint the heads of many of
the departments; and while the heads
of the different departments are presum-
ed to select their own employees, the old
custom of debating many of these minor
positions will undoubtedly be carried out
by the incoming administration.
There is a number of officers at the
disposal of Mr.. johnson which are bet
ter things, so far as remuneration is con-
cerned, than the office of governor, and
there are scores of applicants for each
of these appointments just as there are
for the less important ones.
Aside from the appointments the new
governor will be called upon to make in
filling the different departments, he will
have the appointments of large num-
Der of state boards. These positions on
the state boards are not salaried posi-
tions, the pay being the per diem system,
and in most cases cared for by the fees
collected by the boards. But there are
plenty of men who are anxious to serve
on these boards for the SIS per day for
actual time, along with transportation
allowances and other emoluments.
There are numerous state boards in
Minnesota, such as the state board of
plumbing inspectors, board of medical
examiners, board of BARRIERS examiners,
and numerous others, and on all of them
one to three vacancies which Governor
johnson will have to fix by appointment.
That the general public may inform
itself as to the patronage at the dis.
posal of the new governor, The Rochester
Post and Record prepared list of the
positions which will soon be vacated by
republicans in favor of democrats. In the
following list the heads of the depart
ments are appointed by the governor,
and his appointee is presumed to have
the power of selecting his own assist
ants:

There are also number of minor APP
pointments to be made by the governor.
Very few of the positions on the above
boards are considered good plums. The
pay in most instances is a per diem of
S. per day, but ordinarily these boards
are not in session for more than total
of thirty days during the year. The po-
sition of executive agent of the game
and fish commission is considered a
good berth, however. 1t carries with
it an office in the capitol, few minor
appointments and good pay.
