on arrangement.
Fully 10000 people attended Min.
year and the record made is high one
for coming years to meet. The num-
Der Of tickets taken up was 273, ,054, but
this does not include the army of 5000
or more people who slept on the
grounds all night. nor the other thou

big day, the smallest attendance be-
ing on Thursday, when the turnstile

Poor Care of Cows.

St. Paul-E K. Slater, state dairy
and food commissioner, reckons that
the farmers Of Minnesota are losing
approximately $50, OOo, 900 year just
because they do not take proper care
Of their cows
In series of tests conducted by the
state department it was lear ned that
one Minnesota COW in 1903 produced
4762 pounds of butter, as compared
with 166 pounds produced by the aver
age COW. If the 435,74O COWS which
furnished milk to Minnesota creamer-
les in 1903 produced as much butter as
the best COW, the total would have
been 2o7, ,412,24o pounds, instead of
-, 266: 34s. This was loss of 135, 49,
S92 pounds, or butter worth S27, 029,-
17s4O.
Mr.. Slater estimates that the total
production of butter this year will ap-
proximate $4,000, 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, ,000,0 200.

Want Model Returned.

Minneapolis After nearly three
years at Eue Claire, Wis, the full
sized model Of the historic viking ship
of Gokstad is to be returned to its
former place in the Minneapolis public
library, if an agitation started by the
Norwegian Society of America is sue
cessful.
The model is Of great value, being
an exact reproduction Of the viking
ship unearthed at GolSstad, Norway,
some twenty years ago. It was
loaned three years ago to some persons
in Eue Claire, to be used in a street
parade, and has never been returned,
Resolutions condemning those respon-
sible for the loaning of the ship were
adopted by the executive board of the
Norwegian Society of America.
