A FAMOUS HOLsTEIN.

Long Of England, then publishing
large work on dairy husbandry. In
August, 1885, the owners of Aaggie
commenced a record Of the cow Clo-
thilde. They invited public scrutiny
Of this record during it's full progress.
A number Of persons interested them
selves in it in order to learn the
amount Of her production beyond q
doubt, among which were leading men
connected with dairy publications. At
different periods, including one during
the last week of her record, she was
under the official care Of the superin-
tendent Of the Holstein advanced reg
istry. Her record for the year was
26,O21 pounds Of milk.
Rosa Bonheur v. in a six weeks
test produced 1876 pounds butter, or a
daily average Of 1923 pounds. 4,
"Belle Sa. castle in six weeks test
produced 1876 pounds, or a daily aver
age Of 1926 pounds. That the Holstein
is unapproached by any breed Of cattle
in the production Of large quantities Of
milk no one will deny" -.

Sherburne County Times: President
Taft has visited our state and has
resumed his tour Of the country. AS
president of our nation he was royalty
welcomed by the people of Minnesota.
AS defender of the Aldrich tariff bill
his welcome was not SO enthusiastic.
There is a strong suspicion among
many republicans that our president
has gone over to the Ald1ich- Cannon
crowd and it is a we'll known fact that
the people of the great northwest are
not particularly friendly to these men
or their methods. For that reason the
presidents Winona speech in defense
Of Congressman Tawney is severely
criticised. Mr.. Taft advocated
downward revision of the tariff while
making his campaign one year ago and
we are not yet convinced that there
has been a downward revision. We
extend loyal support and honor to VIM.
n. Taft as president but we. cannot
agree with him in his defense of the
AldriCh bill.

Improving the Herd,

proving herd are proper feeding,
keeping complete and accurate records,
breeding to registered bulls and culling
without mercy, says prominent dali
ryman. I have no sympathy with the
idea of weighing the milk one or two
days in the month in order to secure a
record of the cows work. If it is
worth doing at all, and it certainly Is,
it is worth doing well, and I say
weigh every milking and record it.
The time required is infnitesimal If
things are ranged as they should be,
and the results will pay hundredfold.

The career of John A. johnson was
rich in dramatic incident, and the
manner of his death and burial was a
fitting climax arranged by the master
hand of Destiny. There was every
thing about the life of the late
governor to appeal to the Inauguration,
The scenes of his last sickness touched
the heart and the impressive obsequies
thrilled the soul. The immense con-
course of people in st. Paul, the pro.
found stiffness as the cortege moved
from the capitol to the railway station
when all nature seemed to have
ceased breathing-and then the grave
illumined by the sunset rays, all com
bined to- make the event one to stir the
recesses OF heart and mind. and leave
memories impossi BILE to forget. >.

Every breeder Of dairy cattle has his
particular choice, but this does not pre-
clude the recognition Of strong quail
ties in other strains. Some prefer the
Jerseys, some the Ayrshires and some
the Guernseys, while there are many
other breeds that are well liked. a
Massac husetts dairy whose choice
is the Holsteins tells why he prefers
them, as follows: 81
"Holsteins excel in milk production.
The breed is also superior for veal pro-
duction and valuable for beef. For
generations the natural conditions un-
der which these cattle have been de-
veloped have been most favora BILE for
this combination of qualities. Looking
upon one Of it's model cows, the broad
loin and rump seem just the places for
the growth Of the finest quality of
beef and the fit support Of the capa-
cious udder. The straight quarters
and well rounded body cannot detract
from milk production. The calves are
large at birth and grow and fatten
with great rapidity. The breeders in
Holland have always avoided inbreed-
ing. In proof that this breed has main
tanned high standard Of vital force I
point to it's use in almost every eli
mate, including that Of northern Rus;
STA nearly up to the arctic circle. Here
in America the breed is as hardy as
our native cattle, and calves are raised
without difficulty.
'There can be no profit in animals
that consume only the necessary food
for support. The more they can con.
sumo, digest and assimilate above this
the more profitable. The other charac-
teristic is in the fact that dairy ami
mails should by no means be choice in
the quality Of their food. Cows that
will freely consume the roughage Of
our farms and 'transmute it into valua-
BILE products-m butter, veal, beef
are more valuable than those that re-
quire the costlier commercial feeds.
These cattle from calfhood upward
are by no means choice in the quality
Of their food.
"Quantity of production and persist
ency of milking during long periods
are well known characteristics Of this
breed. Dropping her first calf at about
two years old, an average cow, of this
breed, If well cared for, will produce
from 5000 to 5000 pounds of milk in
ten months, and she will increase this
production each and every year until
at five years old she will give from
1000 to 1900 pounds. The quality Of
this milk will range from to 4 per
cent fat and from 9 to 10 per cent SOL
ids not fat.
I I'm 1880 the COW Aaggie made rec.
ord of 1904 pounds Of milk within
one year from date Of calving. This
record was almost universally regard
ed as an impossibility. Among those
that Joined in this view was Professor

There is another strike at the works
of the Pressed Steel Car Go. of Mckee's
Rocks, Pa. Strange that there isn't q
strike there every day, for it there
ever was an industrial hell-hole, this
place is it, Investigations show con-
ditions so outrageous that it seems
hardly possible they could be allowed
under the American flag. The
founder of the works conceived the
idea that by employing many nation
aIities-he had thirteen each crowd
with a foreman of different
nationality, he could keep the work
men from uniting He also had a
system of credits by which If one
workman failed to do his part of the
car properly and the car was rejected,
every workman who helped to build
the car was docked along with the
delinquent. AS result of this
method, and of company stores and
company houses the uorkmen averaged
IS per week wages. Tyranny was
feature of the administration, and
lives of workmen were secondary to
everything else. There we're SO many
accidents that the liability companies
twice raised their rates. One day 9
workman was crushed by large
number of castings falling On him. His

Cannon Falls Beacon (Rep. THE
men who made the republican party q
power have passed on and their places
have been appropriated by men
brazenly serving corporate wealth and
mon0polistlc greed.
''The republicans OF the northwest
have been grossly, coarsely and
lnsultlngly betrayed by men whose
hold upon the party machinery can
never be broken by the velvet touch Of
Taft, and they know it.
The people do not charge Taft
with being IN sympathy with the
Cannon. Aldrich crowd but they suspect
him of being a ''peace at any price,
man, and they recognize that in such
compromises the people pay the price:
They regard his signing of the tariff
bill as an abject submission to the
threats of centralized greed IN the first
important engagement of a campaign
for the control of the machinery Of
governments.

came at an early hour on Tuesday

told and retold until it Is familiar to
almost every man, woman and child In

I have known him as editor Of the
st. Peter Herald, as state senator, as
an opponent IN bitter political
campaign and as governor. and have
never known aught to his dlscredit.
It was the campaign Of 1904, when be

Suffice 1t to say that, years ago I be-
came thoroughly convinced that John
A. johnson was not responsible for 9

which was the victim in that h0tly-

Redwood Reveille: The few faith
full left in the tariff fold are now
telling us that tariff revision upward
is better for us than downward. We
don t care hang whether it is or not.
We, by our vote, instructed our
servants from president down that we
wanted downward revision. We want
our servants to obey their instructions
and will do our part to help get the
scalp of every one who has violated
his pledge. 1t makes no difference to
us whether panic or prosperity follows,
in republic the people are entitled
to have what they want whether tit is
good for them or not.

queer way of putting things and in
reading them one would almost come
to the conclusion that President Tart

better, truer, nobler, more lovabIefriend

But my loss is nothing compared
with the loss to the state and the ma

Rightly does Minnesota mourn

said the archbishop. Seldom has
there arisen among her people q
nobler and more fascinating type of
American citizenship.
The good man he was, and, no
less, the richly gifted. In prlvatel1fe,
he was the man without reproach; in
public life, he was the earnest, the
conscientious servant of the public
welfare. In his whole career he was
the honor of American democracy
striking example, IN the upward
strides of personal merit: of what
democracy permits. Of what it has the
power to create, the sincere will to
foster.
1T IS pathetic story, that Of his
going away, when success the reward
Of past dolngs, was reckoning him
onward to yet higher success on wider
helds of action But we BOW to the
mysterious counsels of Providence,
whom in the measure of mis- lights he
obeyed, to whose merciful decree we
lovingly remit him. -
