Minneapolis.-For the purpose Of
Kidding Minneapolis of Migrants and

that churches we're thrown open to

Name changers" who apply under
different names to various charity or
ganizations for aid, viii be turned
over to the police upon discovery.
Suspected Migrants will be photo
graphed for better Identification.
State free employment bureaus
city poor department, and municipal
lodging house, will cooperate In OBJ
tanning the names and other informa'
ton about men who refuse work.
The state employment bureau has

SEEKS LOST TITLE
SINGER BUILDING IS TARGET
Charged That New York Skyscraper
Projects Fifteen Inches Over
Building Line.

New York.-The department Of Pub
lie works of New York city has COM
pleted a series of surveys which 1t de-
clares show that the Liberty street
side of the big Singer building pro-
1ects fifteen inches beyond the build
ing line. In a few days formal legal
notice will be served upon the owners
that they must pare down the building
or the city viii do It for them.
The owners declare that no altera-
lions will be made until after active
litigation. Their answer to the formal
notice will be an injunction suit in
which street locations, sidewalks
locations, official surveys, ordinances
and laws beginning around 1887 and
running down to date will be chal-
lenged.
Action to be taken against the
Singer building will be the most ex-
tensiye yet undertaken In the cam
paign of the city to recover its side
walks. If the city should win and
compel the company to move its build
ing back a sheer foot and three inches,
the cost of the job would run into
the hundreds Of thousands of dollars.

TO PROPERLY PACK BUTTER
Farmers Wife or Daughter Should
Study Wants Of Customers and
Give What ls Desired.
~ w. b. UNDERWORLD

When a farmers wife or daughter
has a sufficient quantity Of milk to be
able to sell some butter, she ought by
all means to find out just what sort
of butter people will pay the highest
price for and how the same is pack
ed for sale, and comply with these
conditions. If they do so they will get
all it is worth.
On Saturday not long since while
I was waiting in the store several
persons brought in butter, and with
the exception Of that from two Gus
toners myself and one other), 1t
was all made in large rolls, small rolls
packed in jars, crooks and pans. Some
was made in round prints and wrap
ped in oil paper, and some Of the
large rolls were also wrapped in oil
paper.
The clerk weighed basket Of eight
pound prints, and they tipped the
scales at six and one-half pounds
only. ! asked him what he paid and
he said 18 cents.
l tasted the butter 1t was good
and the merchant would have been
glad to pay Is cents, the same as /
got but he said he could not sell it
for more than IL cents because it had
a mussy-looking appearance,
If each one of those people would
pay $1.25 for brick-shaped mold that
will make an extra pound; so cents
for roll of parchment paper seven
and one-half inches wide, tear the pa
per with the aid Of a ruler into sheets
ten and one-half inches long, dip these
into cold water and wrap each pound
neatly, pack them neatly in a clean
box lined with white paper, assure
you that they can then get 25 cents
per pound for their butter and the
gain in price viii give them a good
many dollars to put into their peck
cts.
1t will not take ten minutes longer
on churning day to do this, and the
knowledge Of putting a irst-class
article on the market In fiTst.class
condition will repay in itself.
It is not best to use the oiled pa
per. It is impossible to handle the
butter without tearing it and it makes
the butter look any way but we'll

FEED QUESTION IS BIG ONE
Possible for Dairy Farmer to Grow
Balanced Ratlons--Hls Salvation
Depends on Point.

Molasses is used in many instances
to disguise very low-grade materials,
including weed seeds. Farmers should
buy the molasses and make their own
mixtures. The feed question is big
one with dairy farmers, but 1t is not
O serious problem to those who have
their barns filled with good alfalfa
hay, which can be grown successfully
in every county In New Jersey, and
which, on the average, would not cost
$40 ton. | am strongly opposed to
the purchase of low-grade feeds, I'M
less the price is in proportion, which,
unfortunately, Is not now the case,
as on the average feeds carrying from
s to IL per cent protein, and high
percentage of crude fiber, cost per
ton practically the same as feeds
which carry from Is to 40 per cent
protein, with a correspondingly high
rate of digestibility and low percent
age Of crude fiber. You could do no
better than to make strong drive
for high-grade protein feeds, more
especially for use in the dairy, and
also for the larger growth and use Of
legumes by dairy farmers. 1t is pos
sible for the dairy farmer to grow
balanced rations, or at least to get
along with very small purchase of
feeds, says writer in an exchange,
The salvation of the dairy far er de-
ponds largely upon this point

WIFE FIGHTS TO SAVE SUICIDE
Found Exhausted Beside His Body
After Struggle to Prevent His
Act Falls.

Chicago.--A wifes desperate efforts
to restrain her husband from commit
ting suicide. proved futile when Jo-
seph Mcmahon, Sc, of AZ East Oak
street, swallowed carbolic acid and
cut this throat in a fit of dependency.
Neighbors, who heard the wife's cries
as she struggled with her husband,
found the body on the kitchen floor
with the exhausted wife beside It
Mcmahon had been i'll for several
weeks. His wife was aware he had
become respondent. When he arose
from bed she followed him, and saw
him take bottle Of carbolic acid.
Mrs. Mcmahon knocked the bottle
from her husbands hand, but he had
already swallowed some of the acid
In the struggle some of the drug half
blinded him.
In spite Of his wife's desperate
struggles Mcmahon reached the kitch-
en-, where he seized a carving knife
and cut his throat.

n,lIIgNOITS

Good pasture lands are the basis
of successful dairy farming.
To make dairying a success we
must make it of interest to the boys.
Get your COWS started right for the
coming cold weather and they will do
well in winter.
Summer or winter, good dairy
thermometer pays its way wherever
dairy cows are kept.
Give the cows chance to get under
the shed every night now. If too cold
keep them in the stable
Keeping the COWS comfortable is a
neglected point in the management Of
the herd during the fall months.
The best COWS are never cheap, and
are seldom for sale; so it pays to give
the heifer calves the best Of care.
The milk pail should be the main
consideration, but not the sole one Ii
Judging the value OF the dairy COW.
Green fodder at the tail end Of the
summer is relished by the COW as ice
cream is relished by the school chill
lren.
The price Of dairy animals is stead
ily rising, and the demand for good
young dairy cows is greater than the
supply.
The strong COW can eat and digest
large quantities Of food. and this Ia
essential for the production Of biz
milk yields.
