Have measures and scales, learn how
much difference there Is in the yield
of the cows, and then figure out how
much the loss is in keeping poor COW.
Do not take some other mans word for
it, but do it yourself, and you will be
convinced.

The farmer who confines himself to
two or three staple crops, and who has
not ventured beyond them, does not
know the full capacity of his farm. He
should try some special crops on a
small area, and endeavor to have
greater variety of articles to sell. The
causes of failures in some crops do not
influence other kinds.

CHURCH rs LIFE OF NATION.
By Senator A. J. Beverfdpe,

When any government on earth
grounds its policy in an attack on re-
ligion itself, then it is time for all
men who believe in the gospel to
speak out in protest. The end Of
such a movement is to dethrone the
savior Of the world as the sovereign
of the spiritual and moral empire Of
mankind. 1t affects all churches
equally.

FEDERAL POWER AND INDIVIDUAL ACTION.
By DR.. Albert Shaw

The old balance between the power Of the
state and the free range of individual action is
not shifting in any very perceptible manner.
There Is the constant give and take, as expert

In the stricter regulation Of the national
of commerce, for example, the state
adds with one hand far more to individual mi

AMERICAN NATIONS WONDERFUL GROWTH.

The population Of the United

Economy in Feeding.

Ear corn and clover hay proved to
be the most efficient ration used in a
test in economy of grain, rate of gain
and profit per steer, conducted by the
Indiana station. Ear corn, shredded
slower and oat straw, supplemented
with linseed meal, proved to be more
efficient than ear corn, shredded slower
and oat straw in economy Of grain,
rate Of gain and profit per steer. A
ration of ear corn, shredded stover
and Oat straw was not etfi-
cient, economical or profitable. The
addition of some heterogeneous food
stuff, either in the form of con-
centrate or roughage, added to the eff
cheney of the ration and to the profit
of the feeder
The value and Importance Of clo~er
hay for fattening cattle was clearly
demonstrated. Linseed meal proved to
be an efficient and profitable supple
ment when fed with ear corn, shredded
slower and oat straw The steers re-
ceiving a ration of ear corn, shredded
stover and oat straw, supplemented
with linSeed meal, were as well finish
ed as those receiving ear corn and
clover hay, although they made smaller
gains. The steers receiving a ration
of ear corn, shredded stover and oat
straw without the linseed meal were
not comparable with the other two lots
in finish, rate of gain or profit.
The narrower the ration in this test
the greater was the daily consumption
OF dry matter per 1000 pounds live
weight. The total amount Of dry matter
consumed daily per steer, the rate of
gain and the cost of gain were greatest
when the cattle were on full feed. The
hogs following the steers fed on ear
corn and clover made the greatest
gain. A comparison of the different
rations fed in the test shows that the
most rapid gains were the cheapest and
most profitable.

Mrs. Weinberg, wife of Frank Wen

School Fund AppOrtiOned.

The. state auditor began the distri-
button of S6o5, 2o1.6o among the coun-
ties of the state on Monday. This
sum represented the apportionment of
the current school fund for the first
half OF the year. Under it the schools
will receive s1.60 for each pupil to
share in the distribution. In all 37S.-
25l pupils will participate.
The county of Mile Laos has 2,453
pupils entitled to the apportionment
and the sum to be distributed will ag-
gregate S3,924.80. Sherburne county
has 1886 pupils, who will draw an ap-
portionment of So, 1850; Benton 2. 341
pupils, who will draw the sum of ST. :
1850, and Isanti 2,793, who will draw
81, 468.8O. It will thus be seen that of
these four counties Mile Lacs is sec-
ond in the list and is fast gaining on
Isanti.

The Alcohol Bill,

The denatured alcohol bill passed
the United States senate on FRIDAY bv
a vote of 65 to 1, Senator Pettus of
Alabama casting the negative vote.

At to l6. The bill as passed contains
one amendment placed in it by the
senate, that permitting rum to be de-

DIR. SCHACHT DEAD.

Was Formerly a Football Player With
Minnesota University Team.
Dr., or "Germany" Schacht, the
famous Minnesota football player,
died in Seattle, WASH, last week, aged
81 years. DR.. Schacht was the brother
of Mrs. J. w. Heard of Princeton.
Rev. and Mrs. Heard left here on
Monday for Fergus Falls, the former
home Of the deceased, to which place
the remains we're brought for inter-
ment. The body was accompanied to
Fergus Falls by the young widow of
DR.. Schacht.
1t is said that entertaining during
his athletic career at the state uni
versity was really responsible for the
death of DR.. Schacht. He ofttimes
went to extremes in his preparations
for the football games in which he
participated, which preparation it is
said affected his heart and his retire.
ment from the gridiron game was
compulsory and not from choice. He
went west to Burlington, WASH, where
he practiced medicine for three years,
and it was only recently that he felt
himself failing and betook himself to
the Providence hospital in Seattle, for
treatment, under DR.. E. F. Scharples,
who has declared that his weak heart
hastened his end.

A Successful Business Man.

b. W. Powers and wife OF A Aberdeen,
S. D., just returning from a trip to
the Pacific coast country, stopped off
at Princeton over Sunday to visit
their old time friends, Mr.. and Mrs.
j. j. Skahen. In a conversation with
Mr.. Powers we find that he has been
a resident of Edmunds county, S. D..
for the past twenty-five years and has
consequently shared the hardships of
pioneer days in that country as we'll
as its success of more recent Years.
We find him an up-to-date business
man of successful experience in stock
raising and farming, which he has
followed extensively. making a speci-
atty of pure bred short horn cattle.
Being one of the best posted, most
successful and influential citizens of
his state, Mr.. Powers has held many
positions of trust and honor among
which was deputy United States
marshal under the second administra-
tion of Grover Cleveland. The sever
ity of the Dakota winters, however,
has induced him to seek milder
climate for his estimable wife, himself
and six boys, and having disposed of
his large interests there, he has de-
cided to go west and selected Salem,
Oregon, for their future home.

final announcement that he would not
further press the measure during this
session. Before, however, he came to
this statement he entered into furi-
Gus though brief argument in support
OF the bill. Two days of 'frivolous
debate," he said, had occurred on the
measure, and he felt it to be. his duty
to call attention to the salient points
involved in connection with the SUBJ
ject.
The senate agreed to the conference
report on the bill limiting the hours
of service of railway employees as
agreed upon by the conference last
night. The house also agreed to the
report of the conference, and in both
houses the adoption was by unani-
nous vote. The agreement limits the
daily service of railway telegraphers
to nine hours, with provision that
the requirement may be extended as
to any particular cases when a proper
showing is made to the Interstate COM
merce commission.
