In the auditors office there has
been an increase of only one employe.
In the treasurer's office an increase
of two employees was authorized by
the General Assembly, against the
wishes of Mr.. Kenehan, but the bill
was signed by the governor with the
agreement that they should not be ap-
pointed and the treasurer has refused
ever since to fill either OF those posi-
lions.
In the offices of the attorney gener-
al and superintendent OF public III
slruction there was no increase in the
number of employees.
The salaries of few of the EN-
ployes in these executive offices were
increased, none, however, by more
than S25 per month. The total IN

of these offices has been only $346.66
per month
There have been established, with
very moderate salaries, some burdens
which both the Democratic and Repub-

Administration Building the Most
Elaborate of any State
Institution

The new buildings at the Minnesota
Home School for Girls in this city are
rapidly nearing completion. The in
spection by two members of the Board
of Control, the architect and the en-
gineer, last week elected the fact
that tile state authorities having
these matters in charge are satisfied
with the character of the work done.
No cheap material or slipshod work
has entered into these buildings.
The chapel, which has already been
described in detail in The Herald, is
complete and ready for occupancy.
The hospital will be done by the
first of the year. This building is one
Of the best Of it's kind in
the country 1t is one-story struc-
ture erected in such manner that
additional wings can be built on at
any time as needed. The material is
concrete and red brick. The interior
is convenient, modern, sanitary, the
latest devices being applied to make
it meet the demands of an institution
, of that nature. The floors are hard
maple and the finishing hard Georgia
pine. In the bath rooms and the
operating rooms the floors are white
tile with white enambled tile
as wainscoating. Each door is a piece
of hard Georgia pine with the grain
running vertically and highly polished.
Oil finish is used and the doors are
beautiful exemplars Of the aftificer's
work. Steam heating and electric
lighting, with the most modern sys-
tenn of ventilation, make thetabuild-
| ing what it should be. The wards,
and indeed, all the apartments, are
light and CHEEKY. A visit to the in
stitution amply repays the visitor.
Two cottages for girls. similar to
the four now in use, will be done BY.
the latter part of January.

The building has already sbeen de-
scribed. 1t will cost $4,000 and is
to be used as the residence of the
superintendent and family, with two
small apartments for offices for the
entire plant. There are two guest
chambers, fine hallway and grand
staircase, two large porticos, fire
place and mantle in each room and
on the third floor large room for
billiards and dancing The finish is
to be the finest to be had, in keeping
with the wealth and importance of

Why You Should Not Pull Fodder
The Progressive Farmer.

The Progressive Farmer.
The practice Of "fodder-pulling" is
still general over most Of the South
This Is practically a Southern prac-
tice--very few people In other sec
tions do it--and. to put 1t plainly, II
Is the most wasteful and extravagant
OF all the common methods of saw
ing the corn crop.
In no instance, to our knowledge
have accurate experiments failed 70
show that the practice Is Improbable
This Is why Southern farmers should
quit it. 1t does not pay. Why keep
1t up
We know the objections urged
against other methods Of handling the
corn crop--that corn cut up is heavy
to handle, that stock will not eat the
large stalks, that cut-up corn often
molds In the shuck, that shredded
fodder sometimes molds. All these
objections are Of more or less farce,
just as are the objections against
leaving all the stalks and blades in
the fields and pasturing them Off
that this practice means a waste of
feed. and that, in some cases the
trampling Of the land injuries it or the
crops sown on it. There Is something
in each OF these claims, but not en-
ough in any or all Of them to Justify
fodder-pulling.
If man can have his corn stover
cut up or shredded, he can get more
feed at less cost than by pulling fod-
der The molding Of corn in the
shuck is almost invariably caused by
poor shucking or by cutting too green
corn cut at the proper stage is one
Of the easiest crops to cure. Shred
1ed corn stover will keep perfectly if
1t is dry when shredded and is pro-
iected afterward. The man who has
no facilities for handling cut-up corn
can get more roughage for the same
expenditure of labor by parturing his
corn field and growing legumes for
hay than by pulling fodder: and he
viii also have more corn.
Fodder pulling as usually done,
Reduces the yield of corn sufficiently
to pay for all the feed obtained in
the FODDER. The labor expended in
pulling Is usually great enough to
produce an equal feeding value in
some other crop. These are demon
strated facts, and no amount of the
orizlnE and figuring on the part of our
loddcr pulling friends can change
them. Taken together, they mean
That the man who pulls fodder pays
twice for what he scts-once in the
'ecr"ase of his corn crop. and once
IN tho tabor expended in doing the
work.
This in short. is why the practice
should hc abandoned: it is wastoful
ana inconsistent with the best farm
ing. II wastes labor and feed.
