A gushing writer in a Minneapo-
lis daily recently dilated on the
glorious fact that Governor johnson
died poor, since which time his
executors have discovered that the
estate of the lamented governor lists
property to the amount of $37 900,
which is much more creditable to
the governor than it would have
been had he left his widow penni-
less after occupying the highest
Office in the state for nearly five
years. In these days of fraternal
benefit societies and reliable insur-
ance companies, it would have been
disgraceful rather than honorable
had the governor left his widow
penniless, unless some unforeseen cir
cumstance had swept away the gov
ernor's earnings. 1t is no disgrace
to be poor as Gov. Johnson's mother
was poor, but for man in receipt
of a good salary for years to be
taken away suddenly without having
made provision for those dependent
upon him, would haye been not only
not to his honor, but quite other
wise.

cow TESTING ASSOCIATIONS.
Notes Furnished by the Minnesota Farm
erS' Institutes.

The first cooperative COW testing
association was organized Jan. 23d,
1895, in Denmark for the purpose
of investigating and recording the
feeding, as we'll as the milk and
butter fat yields, of the individual
cows in the herds.
This association has been so sue
cessful that today, instead of few
associations with few cows, there
are more than $50 associations with
over 10000 cows. The average yield
per cow has been increased from
5,451 pounds of milk, averaging 3.3
per cent. butter fat, to 7,776 pounds
of milk, averaging 3.52 butter fat.
Minnesota dairymen need not be
ashamed to initiate in so good a
cause. The average yield of the
Minnesota cow is approximately
1000 pounds milk and 156 pounds
butter fat, while the writer has
records Of several cows whose milk
yield for the past year was below
1000 pounds and several that exceed
ed 1000 pounds. If a dairyman
wishes to improve the productive
ness of his herd, there is only one
way of doing it, provided they are
properly fed and cared for, namely;
to weed out poor producers and re-
place them with profitable ones.

Free Scholarships tor Nurses.

Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly
Love. has an exhibition of practica
benevolence in the work of the Phil
adelphia School for Nurses which is
of surprising interest to every one
interested in the care of the sick,
the education of nurses and the
promotion of public health and sani-
tation.
The annual report showed that
during the past year, ten thousand
two hundred and seventy-fve pa
tients were supplied with nurses,
who otherwise could not have Sc
cured skilled nursing care. Four
fifths of this service was rendered
gratuitously. 1t was shown also
that in teaching facilities, available
workers and number of students,
the school ranks as the largest school
for nurses in the world.
Clara Barton, the world renowned
nurse and manager of field hospital
work and organizer of the Red
Cross society, having for many years
observed the work of the Phila-
delphia School for Nurses, and noted
its efficiency, recently invited DR..
Eugene Underhill, founder of the
school, to visit her. and be present
at conference in her summer home
in Oxford, Mass, for the purpose
of considering the advisability of re-
producing the work in the larger
New England cities.
Several large classes of students
are about to be enrolled in the
Philadelphia School for Nurses. who
will, doubtless, witness the exten-
sion Of the work of the institution in
accordance with plans now develop
ing as result Of the recent New
England conferences. A large num-
ber OF free twO-year scholarships are
available to young women living
throughout the entire country, pref
erence being given to those from
the smaller towns and cities, and
the rural districts. These scholar
ships include room, board, launder-
ing, uniforms. all necessary instruc-
ton and railroad fare paid to the
students home town upon the COM
pletion of the course. A prepara-
tory home study course and a short
resident course are also available to
those who desire to quickly prepare
themselves for self-support. but are
unable to devote two years to study. |

denomination.

Capital city papers allege that the
appointment of private secretary to
Governor Eberhart was rendered to
Editor Charles Mitchell of the Du-
luth News Tribune, and that the
latter declined the appointment out
of consideration for R. C. Dunn,
who is accused of aspiring to again
take the field next year against
Governor Eberhart for the Repub-
lican nomination for governor. Per-
sonally and politically, Editor Mitch
ell would make splendid assistant
for the governor. We hope Mr..
Dunn will be persuaded to stay out
of the canvass next year. We have
seen no signs of a popular demand
for the resurrection of Bob Dunn as
gubernatorial candidate, and while
we enjoy Editor Dunn's wise and
witty editorials, our judgment is
that his entrance into state politics
again as a candidate would be par
ty calamity whether he wins or loses
the nomination.

The appointment Of Ralph Wheel
ock to succeed Frank A. Day as priv
ate secretary to the governor is
likely to meet general approval.
Ralph is pretty well known through
his editorial writings in the Mime
apolis Tribune and st. Paul Pioneer
Press, which indicates that he is a
genial man as we'll as a wise and
ready writer. It is not to his dis
credit that he has made no reputa-
ton as wire-pulling politician and
is therefore poorly qualified to build
up kitchen cabinet. The Repub-
licans of Minnesota are not so docile
under dictation as the supporters of
the retiring private secretary have
been, and political cabinet would
be positive detriment to the pros.
poets of Governor Eberhart, assum-
ing that he will be a candidate for
denomination.

Editor Sherwood Of the Bird Island
Union speaks but the simple truth
in saying frankly that some Of the
newspapers are running their aduIa-
tion of Gov. johnson to ridiculous
excess. AS the Union puts it, Gov
ernor Johnson was a plain man, a
good man and an honest one. To
try and make him appear as god
would be as distasteful to him, were
he alive, as to any other plain and
honest man.

Such cows, however, are rarely
found on the market, except at very
high prices, and the average dairy
man will find that, if he wants good
cows, he must raise them himself.
The most economical method he can
adopt then is to purchase sire of
pronounced dairy qualities and raise
the calves from his best cows and
with them replace the cows that
prove improbable.
But in order to do this, he must
be able to tell the good cows from
the poor ones. He must know three
things about each individual. First.
how much milk she will give in a
year; not in a month, because she
must be fed year. Second he must
know the richness of the milk.
Third, he must know how much it
costs to keep the COW a year.
The simplest method of obtaining
these facts is for a few farmers in
community with sufficient num-
Der of cows to organize and hire a
competent man to do the testing.
The expense to be paid pro rata by
each man in proportion to the num-
ber of cows he owns. 1t is desir-
able to have sufficient number of
cows in the association so that the
expense will not exceed 81 to $1.5O
per cow per year. The tester visits
one herd day. He arrives in the
afternoon, sees the cows MIXED,
weighs the milk and takes sample
from each COW. This is repeated
next morning. He tests the milk
from each cow and figures out the
value Of the butter fat and suit
able ration and leaves these with
the farmer. This farmer then takes
the tester and his outfit to the next
farmer. He gets to each farm ev-
cry month, so that the farmer has
monthly records. At the end of the
year the tester figures up the yield
of milk and butter fat and the value
of the same, the cost of feed to
maintain a COW each year and the
profit or loss Of each Individual in
the herd. and furnishes every pat
ron with this record.
One of the greatest values Of test
ing cows for the first year at least
is that it gives the facts needed to
feed intelligently. Only when COWS
are in good condition and properly
fed can they do work up to thier
capacity. When they have been in
good condition and we'll fed for
year. their records as shown by the
test will enable one to Gull out the
improbable COWS.

While some of the taxpayers of
Redwood county have been inclined
to criticise the county commissioners
for expending too much money for
the support Of the county's poor, it
is quite otherwise in Lyon county,
where the commissioners recently
investigated their poor farm, and as
reported in the Marshall Reporter,
"the committee found it a place not
fit to keep domestic animals in, to
say nothing OF trying to provide
bodily comfort for the county's poor,
most of whom are usually either in
valids or too old to work. The doc
tor recommended thorough clean
ing up, complete fumigating to kill
off the bugs and vermin and new
bed clothes, at the very least, some
thing which the commissioners will
attend to at once, at least the two
former suggestions. There is no
danger of such conditions in Red
wood county as long as Mr.. and
Mrs. Field are managing the home.

UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER GRANT,
honest man.

Maj. Gen. Fred. D. Grant recently
exhibited the sturdy independence
inherited from his distinguished sire.
and marched at the head of a good
government procession in darkest
Chicago. For this complaint was
made by one w. R. Michaelis of that
city, to the secretary of war. Gen.
Grants attention having been called
to the protest by reporter, the gen.
eral gave it out straight that there
was no army regulation or law,
written or unwritten, which abridg-
ed his right to wear his uniform on
any occasion he saw fit, and the gen.
eral showed the sturdy stuff under
his uniform by speaking out with
out reserve: 1T was not temper
ance parade but a demonstration in
favor of good government and law
and order, and l should have been
derelict in my duty if | had not,
when requested, headed the parade
and l shall continue, until pro-
hibited, to do the same thing when
ever deem it necessary to advance
the cause of good government"
Since the above was written the
secretary of war has informed the
complaining letter writer that the
general participated in the parade
as an Individual and not as repre-
sentative Of the government, and
that each soldier and officer in the
army has right to determine his
political affiliations for himself.
Farther light on the affair is
afforded by a communication to the
secretary of war from the Chicago
secretary of the temperance law and
enforcement parade committee, con-
cluding as follows:
"The right of General Grant to
wear his uniform on this occasion
will not be questioned when in
form you that l have in my posses
sion official communications from
Grand Army posts (including the
George H. Thomas post of COS men,
bers) accepting our invitation to
participate and help boost the civic
virtues of sobriety and reverence
for law.
General Grant has courageously
performed a patriotic duty in de-
the unconditional surrender
Of lawlessness and debauchery. If
the war department has any honors
which the general has not already
received, $4,000 sober American citi-
zens join me in a request that you
confer them upon him at once"
