= Although most people think of milk
entirely as a fluid, it really becomes
solid when it reaches the stomach and
gets in contact with the digestive Sc.
Scretions. This happens from the
peculiar quality known as curdling,
which is seen when rennet is added
sor ordinary souring occurs outside the
body. The familiar junket and whey
swill come to mind as form that milk
Smay often be made to take. All milks,
however, do not curdle in the same
way. Some curdle in soft masses, and
others in tough, stringy portions
There is reason for this, as in every
other phenomen seen in nature. Milk
is intended not only to nourish the
young, but to develop its digestive
tract, so that later on it can take care
of more solid food. Soft curdling and
hard curdling milks are intended for
animals that will have very different
digestive tracts when they are grown.
The soft curdling milk for the human
infant is intended for a being that
has one small stomach and a COM
paratively simple digestive tract. that
eventually can only digest food that
has been carefully chewed and masti-
Gated. The hard curdling milk for the
calf is intended for an animal with
four stomachs and an elaborate d.
gestive tract that can later digest
great stringy masses of hay and grass.
This affords a beautiful example of
how nature makes this elemental fluid
work out an important development
function, in addition to nourishing the
young. It also shows that milks are
mot readily Interchangeable, and how
important it is for the mother of every
species of animal to nourish her own
young. THE Mission of the Modern

HOGS AND CORN,

Robert Cochran of Dry Lake, Ram
sey contuy, recently marketed five
hogs, gross weight 1910 lbs, at cents
per lb. He says he will clear up
$4,000 on hogs this season, and they
were fattened with corn raised by him
In Ramsey county. We also saw sam
pies of the corn, and it looked mighty
good to us. We should like to have
gotten hold of some of the pork.
Before ten years will have elapsed
this section of North Dakota will be
fattening thousands of cattle on North
Dakota grown corn. That industry
will have become an important, al
most all-important, factor in on pros
perity., 1t will mean higher priced
land, more people per square mile,
better improvements and last but not
least a steadily renewed fertility Of
soil. twill mean certainty of rev.
enue each year that cannot be OBJ
tanned under present conditions, pros
porous as they are and yielding big
returns: It will mean wealth to every
owner of foot of land in North Da-
kota. North Dakota will probably
never raise the quality of CORN grown
Illinois, but that does not alter the
fact that North Dakota will raise
corn of quality which will fatten
cattle, and which will ultimately add
one hundred per cent in value to the
highest priced wheat lands we have
today. -.
Every farmer who encourages the
growing Of corn, who experiments
with the acclimatization of the most
productive varieties, who starts in,
not next year or the year after, to
follow the movement, but this year
to lead the movement, is doing his
state and his pocketbook the greatest
service he can do.-Rock Lake Rip.

a visitor as it is now in arranging for
the reception of Theodore Roosevelt.
Kings and emperors, college profess
sors and scientists, soldiers and
statesmen, learned societies and legis-
lative assemblies are preparing to give
him a triumphant welcome. He has
received Invitations from nearly every
city of prominence in the United King
dom and the principal countries of
Europe. He has been asked to lecture
at universities. He has been invited
to banquets and to balls. He will be
the guest of the Khedive OF Egypt, the
King of Greece, the King of Italy, the
Empeor Of Austria, the Emperor Of
Germany, the President Of France, the
King Of England and various other
potentates of lesser Importance and
all the ambassadors in Washington ex-
cept MI. Bryce and Baron Rosen, have
been summoned home by their SOW
ereigns to act as master of ceremon-
les. The Italian ambassador Baron
Mayor des Planches sailed on the oath:
Baron Henegelmuller, the Austrian
ambassador, sails on March 2; M.
Jusserand, the French ambassador,
sails few days later, and their OBJ
ject in going is to assist in the enter
tainment of Theodore Africanus, the
greatest lion hunter and hippopota-
mus pursuer of modern times.
Theodore Roosevelt is today the
best known and undoubtedly the most
popular man in the world, and his tri-
umphal invasion of Europe has no
parallel in history. Pc private citi-
zen of any country has ever been Of
fered the honors and the attention he
will receive and he will bear them off
as calamity and as gracefully as anv
human being could do. General Grant
received great many honers and he
left a permanent impression upon ev-
cry class of society wherever he went
by his cimple dignity. his riticence
and the prestige of his military re.
nown, but Roosevelt represents the
other extreme of American individual,
ity and his reception and entetrain
ment will correspond.

You may sell more diamonds and
more silks because of the wide open
policy, but your clerk may be expected
to excuse his weakness because Of
your interets and encouragement and
when the cost of living exceeds his
means, he win secretly raise his own
salary. But this is a slight offense
compared with yours; for you have
set a trap to ensnare the youth and de-
liver them over to the Devil to in
crease your trade: Who is meant? You,
dear reader. You are your brothers
keeper. You may not escape respon-
sfbility If you sit idly by and permit
the laws violation without a protest.
You have your remedy, by opposing
men for Office whose sentiments favor
winking at the laws violation, by de-
nouncing sentiments encouraging such
violation, by standing up to be counted
in favor of good government and
against corruption.
You say you have only one vote and
what is that to the large number of
the lawless. We answer: the man
who casts his vote for honest and pure
government is always successful. One
man openly and fearlessly opposing
corruption is standing menace to the
lawbreaker. Truth is mighty and one
trumpet is enough to proclaim 1t.
Preach it, teach it, talk it, but act in
accordance with it. It must have it's
effect. Will you run away because
your side has fewer than the enemy?
In matter of physical courage you
would disdain to be called a coward
Have you no sensativeness on moral
cowardice? The Americans lost the
battle Of Bunker HILL Who controls
the hill today? The three hundred
Greeks at Thermopylae faced certain
physical defeat. but where are the
Persians today? The heroes of the
Almo had no MESSENGER of their fate
Do you side with the hordes of Santa
Ana? A worse enemy is at your gate
and perhaps sends it's victims home to
your freside.

The Des Moines Capital asks if it
is worth while to try to demonstrate
the American peoples love and adj
miration for Theodore Roosevelt by
making President Taft's career as
nearly failure as possible? "Is there
not some other way of showing at.
lection for Roosevelt aside from de.
stroying Taft?"", continues the Capital.
Gan the American people afford to
treat any president who is trying to dc
right the way Taft is now being
treated? Is it not evident that he is
doing the best that he. can? Is it not
evident 10 that there = is q conspiracy

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,

danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes

er we agree on these things it will be
easy to locate the reason it costs more
to live now than it did when every
body lived the simple life. The fell
low who persists in an effort to com,
pare prices in this country with those
of the old world ought first Of all to
note the difference the wage scale
among laborlng classes. In this coun-
try laoring men insist ON having good

man Is the way President Harrison
put it. Cheap food stuffs are also in
dicative of a low wage scale. With
everybody busy, wages that jsustify

fed and independent all conspire to
enforce the decree that the law of

1t is undesirable to place COWS in
rigid stanchions, since they do not

to lie In a cramped position is not
conducive to gentle disposition. Such
disposition is found In those indi-
viduals producing the largest returns
for food consumed. A stall which
most nearly approaches perfection Is
one In which the COW is permitted to
have the freedom the has when lying
In the field or paddock. Just how
these devices Of torture-the rigid
stanchion shown herewith-originated
is rot generally known. but after years
OF service they have been discarded
These stanchions hold the neck Of the
animal In vise-like grip when closed:
especially Is this true when the stan.
chion Is too narrow. Such stanchion
not only irritates the neck Of the COW
but also prevents the free movement
OF the head from side to side, SO that
COW Is prevented from throwing her
head around in resting position upon
her fore leg when stretched out upon
the ground, which is common habit
with this animal. Freedom OF move
ment is very important to the COW and
every effort should be made to dis
courage the use OF the rigid stanchion.
In order for milk to be sanitary the
surroundings OF the COWS must be
clearly In every particular, the floors
especially. The floors now commonly
found are dirt, wood. either block or
plank. brick. stone, and in some cases
concrete. Dirt. Of course. Is very un-
