THE LATE S. Nj. OWEN.

The news Of the death of S. M.
Owen, the veteran editor of the
Farm, Stock & Home, has caused
a pang Of regret in many house.
hold in Kandiyohi county. His has
been the favorite agricultural and
household journal in the average
Minnesota farm home
for more than twenty years. The
paper has breathed his personality
and it's independent spirit has edu-
Gated it's readers to think and has
made them better citizens as we'll
as better farmers. In these days of
abundant literature, it is difficult
for the younger people to realize
conditions fifteen or twenty years
ago, when a weekly home paper, a
monthly farm journal and pos
sibly a religious paper with an &C.
casional magazine was about all the
current literature available to the
average child in the more progress
sive homes. Those were the days
when an old newspaper, a year or
more old, would be picked up and
be re-read with avidity, and even
medical almanacs and harvester tes-
timonials would not be despised.
Perhaps the scarcity of reading
matter led to a closer reading and
better understanding Of events and
measures than the abundance of
this day is conducive of-certainly
it led to more positive views and
more intolerant partisanship, for
did not the editor have monopoly
of the mind of his reader? And in
most cases he would mould the
readers opinions along his own
way Of thinking as the potter
shapes the clay.
We believe that no man in Min.
nesota journalism has exerted as
much influence for good on so large
a number of the people Of the State
as the late Sidney M. Owen. While
considered a radical in his beliefs
his writings were always couchec
in such moderate and considerable
language as to insure him res
pectful hearing from everyone.
The late Mr.. Owen has been ia
vorite in Kandiyohi county ever
since the old day Of the Farmer
Alliance In the campaign of 1894
he polIed 1886 votes for governor
in this county. only 81 votes less
than the redoubtable Knute Nelson
with his then tremendous party sen
timent back Of him.
Personally we mourn him as {

inspiration to spend a half-houl

ed. There is hole in his nose and
in each forepaw, and through these
double cord is passed. The ends
of the cord pass through the paws and
on each end are metal rings, much
too large to pass through the holes.
BY making the proper use of the loops
in the cord, however, the latter may
be removed from the bear and re-
placed with ease. The basic principle
of the puzzle, that of making the Sc
cret in the proper manipulation of
the loops, is not strictly new, but the
adaptation of this principle to the
Teddy bear will insure its popularity
as a puzzle.

Airships and Air Currents.

Germany's greatest achievement is
not the technical perfection Of the air
going craft; she has learned how to
use the air currents as the birds do In
travelling. This is science; the ship
is only its instrument. Airships will
double and treble their speed by act
ing in harmony with the forces of ma
ture, the primal speed maker. There
is a working force only lately reckon
ed with even by builders Of air craft,
and that is the wind. Airships will
use the trade wind to reach this con-
tinent because 1t always blows one
way. That is as simple proposition
as that low powered steamer should
use the gulf stream. Air traffic to
compete with rail or water must main
tain as sure a schedule of travel. Ger
many has already mapped her airship
routes to and from America.-Century.

tion of million would be an impos-

Ripening Cream.

It is very essential in cream rip
ening to agitate the cream frequent
ly to insure uniform ripening.
When cream remains undisturbed
for some time the fat rises In the
same way that 1t does in milk,
though in a less marked degree. The
result is that the upper layers are
richer than the lower and will sour
less rapidly. since the action OF the
Tactic acid germs Is greater In thin
than In rich cream. This unevened
ripening leads to poor bodied
cream. Instead of being smooth
and glossy, it will appear coarse and
curdy when poured from a dipper.
The importance OF stirring frequent
ly during ripening should therefore
not be underestimated.-P John
Michels.
