way is the New York State Fish
hatchery, where millions of trout
Snad' bass, smelt and cod are turned
out yearly for the benefit of the lakes

Y. b. Davenport, who has been as
soclate professor of zoology at the
University of Chicago for the past four
years, is at the head of both biological
laboratories at Cold Spring Harbor.
In his report of the first years work
Prof Davenport states that the insti.
tution's first efforts have been directed
to studies of heredity, which, he de.
clares, in spite of their importance
for evolution, have been relatively
neglected To deal with this subjec,
the laboratory has planned work
which it will undertake in coopera
ton with others, on all the maib
groups of animals and plants.
Following this programme two and
half acres of laboratory land have
been devoted to the rearing of "pedi
greed plants, whose welfare has been
watched by Drs. Britton and Mac.

of fertility, and if nothing is re.
turned to the soil IN the form of
manure, the farm will in time
cease to produce.
A sandy soil will play out
quicker than a clay soil, but ii
manured and rightly handled, it
will last just as long and be just
as productive.
The system of farming for
northern Minnesota should be to
feed all grain and hay raised on
the farm and sell it in the form
of butter, meat and eggs. The
fertility can then be returned to
the soil in manure.
Keep dairy cows in preference
to beef cows. It takes just as
much feed to produce q pound OF
beef as it does to produce q
pound of butter. A pound OF
dressed beef will sell in Bemid il

80 cents. Keep the dairy bred
COW.
The native cows, if properly
cared for, make quite profitable
dairy animals. A cow with deep
body and spare and angular in
outline, will generally be a good
dairy COW regardless of hel
breed. -

questioning each candidate in

that Johnson would be the fair :
est and most unbiased man in
selecting the committees. The
naming of the com mittees is 60
ing to be very important work
this coming session. If the tax
amendment passed at the recent
election, a speaker who has a
slight leaning toward the corpor-
ate influences could do infinite
harm to the people OF the whole
state in the naming of this one
committee on taxation. Without
casting any reflections on any of
the other candidates, it is only
fair to Mr.. Johnson to say that
he appears the most free from
corporation influences of the
leaders in the contest, and 1. at
least, would trust him the farth-
est in naming the committee on
taxation. ~ .,--

This was decided upon at the

although two or three Of the
mem bers did not favor Johnson
at first, they were convinced
after meeting with and question

from Milwaukee after a weeks
search and stated no clue had
been found. Mr.. Munroe first
went to the hotel where Roy had
been staying and it was found
that no one remembered him at
the hotel except the clerk who
registered him.. He went to the
theatre on Saturday night on
which he wrote his last letter
home and returned to the hotel.
He was not seen after that day
by anyone. .
When his room was opened his
suitcase was found on the bed
open and he had evidently just
changed his clothes.. His heavy
overcoat was on a hook in the
room and it looked as though he
had just stepped out to mail a

Doesn't Pay.

Walker, Minn., Dec II: Mu.
nicipal ownership in Walker has
received, a setback since the
statement of the village recorder
relative to the electric light
plant was made public this week
for the first time since the plant
was put in operation some fifteen
months ago.
At a meeting of the village
board this week, the statement
of the light plant was present ted
and speedily acted upon, with
the result that after Dec. 10, no
light can be had after IL o'clock
each night. The patrons have had
all night service up till the
present time. : !
The recorders statement
shows that the maintenance of
the plant has been an expense
to the village ever since it was
installed, and it is hoped that
by shutting out all the night
service that expenses will be cut
down materially.
The action of the council will
be likely to cause remonstrance
from the saloons, which Keep all
night open house, and from the
hotels as well. It has been as
serted that if the sentiment be-.
comes too strong, the plant will
be shut down entirely.

bright prospects to Walker it is
