Poor Cara Of Cows.

st. Paul-E. K: Slater, state dairy
and food commissioner, reckons that
the farmers of Minnesota are losing
approximately 600. 900, 900 a year just
because they do not take proper care
Of their cows.
In a series of tests conducted by the
state department it was learned that
one, Minnesota COW in 1903 produced
476 pounds of butter, as compared
with 166 pounds produced by the aver
age COW. II the 4a5,74o COWS which
furnished milk to Minnesota creamer-
les in 1908 produced as much butter as
the best CIV, the total would have
been 2o7, 412,240 pounds, instead of
y, 266, 34s. This was loss of l35, 145,-
s9@ pounds, or butter worth $a7, o29,-
l7S.40.
Mr.. Slater estimates that the total
production of butter this year will APP
proximate 10000, 900 pounds, SO that if
all COWS produce as much this year as
the best COW did in 1903, the saving
to Minnesota farmers will be about
$50, OOO, 600

Karlstad, the city in which at
tempts are being made to remold the
history of Sweden and Norway by a
joint committee of arbitrat ton, is rich
in historical "reminiscences. 1t is q
f1ourishlng city of $4,000 inhabitants,
and it is located on Tingvalla island,
where the men of Vermland held
court far back in the pre-Christian
era. 1t was here that Adlersparre s
:hey proceeded to Stockholm to save
Sweden by dcposing King Gustaf
Adolf ~. It was here that King
Sverre was elected king of Norway
by his "Birch-bark Legs" in 1177.
There is cathedral dating from
1923, but most of the buildings are
OF modern construction, having been
built since the great fire of 1865.
The Swedes politely asked the Nor
wegian members of the arbitration
committee to stop at, Stadshotellet,
the finest hotel in town. There is
nothing swell about the accommoda-
tions. Each Norwegian member has
rooms may be used by the members
in common. a large and beautiful
garden is connected with the hotel.
The Swedish members are stopping
at Grand hotel, which is modest
affair compared with the Norwegian
headquarters. The common people
are proud of the distinction which
their city enjoys in the eyes of the
world at the present moment.

The committee appointed to settle
che question Of dissolving the union
of Sweden and Norway is holding its
meetings in the Masonic hall at Karl
stad. One large hall and seven smaller
rooms are controlled exclusively by
the committee during the negotiations.
The building is located near the mar
,ket place, but the rooms used by the
committee are not reached by the
noise from the street. ),
At this writing the foreign news
paper correspondents at the Scandi-
navian capitals try to make out that
che recess of the arbitration commit
tee may mean war. Suffice it to say
that the recess was a part of the
regular program agreed upon before
the opening of the conference. The
correspondents seem to have made
things LOOK worse than they are.
