Feeding THE DAIRY COW
Roots and Silage Properly Prepared Will
Furnish Splendid Nourishment at
Close of Grass Season.

We know that COWS usually give
the largest amount of milk when
they are on good pasture. Their chief
feed is, then, new grown grass, writes
Prof. Hacker of the state university
farm. This would indicate that such
feed is better for milk production
than are tie dry feeds in winter.
Green feed is more easily digested
than is dry, coarse fodder, such as
hay, fodder corn, and corn slower.
Moreover, less energy is required to
digest it, it tends to keep the body
and digestive system in better condi-
ton and it stimulates the appetite.
We know this from human exper-
iennce. In the winter, when veget-
ables are scarce, and we eat potatoes,
bread and meat for long time, we
become tired of them and crave some
thing succulent, like fruit or green
vegetables. In we'll regulated homes
such food is provided by canned or
fresh vegetables and fruits.

is not especially valuable from the

CHECK ON STATE PROPERTY
Every Piece of Real Estate and Personal
Property VIII Be Inventoried by
Public Examiner Fritz.

ST Pau, Avg. = CT tie filst time
in the history Of Minnesota a COM
plete and detailed inventory will be
made of everything belonging to the
state. The work will be under the
direct supery isioD of Andrew E. Fritz,
public examiner, and will take prob
ably year or more TO finish.
Mr.. Fritz was the originator of the
idea. There is no law requiring that
such an inventory be made. He ex-
poets to be able to do the work with
the present force in his department..
and there will be no additional cost
| to the state because of it.
During his two years as public ex-
aminer. Mr. Fritz has become con-
WINGED that there should be some
method adopted by which it would be
possible t. list each article. building
and of equipment belonging TO the
state in order not only to prevent
waste but to guard against theft.
Large manufacturing plants and
other similar commercial enterprises
always keep detailed inventories and
check them up each year. Mr.. Fritz
thinks the state should follow this
example.
The necessity Of ascertaining just
what the state owns often deVelOpes
at various institutions. The deputy
examiners have found that the present
conditions do not give them an oppOr-
tunity to make satisfactory check
of property. and as result many dis
putes ,Laye arisen.
In making the inventory Mr.. Fritz
will ask the co-opera ion of the heads
of the various state departments and
Institutions. They will be asked to
submit lists of all properties under
their care or jurisdiction and these
will be checked by the examiners
each year. This system will also ne
cessilate an accurate accounting Of all
new articles obtained during the year,
which will be added to the iniaJial in
ventory. Property disposed OF will be
deducted. This will give the deputies
an opportunity to have an accurate
c; eek in each department.
In addition to listing state property.
definite values will de assigned to each
article. In the case of buildings. the
State Board of Control estimates. 50
far as applicable will be used. When
such estimates are not available the
cost will be determined and proper
deductions made for deterioration.
Mr.. Fritz believes suchan inventory
will be of immense value to the state.
Although the task is a gigantic one.
he is confident that it can be accOmp-
lished within a year, and &c tainlr by
january |, 1913.

standpoint Of tie amount of nourish-
ment contained. The great value Of
the apples is due TO the fact that they
aid in 1onins up the whole system
and satisfy lie craving for something
succalent. In like manner it pays

with something TO take the place of
the green grass they get in summer.
TIE whole ration need not be of a
succulent material but that a portion
of it should be such is quite essential

The best engineers of tie country

Four plans are considered. One is to

vide system of cutoff, which would
divide the rivers flow between two
channels. auxiliary water courses be-
ing provided at various points TO help

Il regard this kind Of publicity the
most valuable advertising our STATE
can get" says Fred d. Sherman, Com
mi>si Oner Of immigration. "Wnen a
state can attract the attention OF
great Eastern publications in such a
manner as to receive favorable com
nent upon the business methods OF
conducting her affairs, much benefit
is derived"
A relent issue of the Youths Com
panion says, editorily:
Most of the states TO which the
National government has made large
grants of land find little satisfaction
in telling how they have disposed of
it. To this rule Minnesota is nOta-
BILE execution, and the story of its
public. lapds is both rebuke to other
states that have squandered their
valuable grants and lesson to the
states that still have natural resc urc-
es worth preserving.
While other states were selling
their public lands for dollar or so an
acre and using the money for current
expenses, Minnesota was selling tim
Der of its lands at good figure. and
then selling the land itself for ayri-
cultural purposes for five dollars an
acre: il put the total proceeds into a
permanent fund for the benefit of its
schools and Of its charitable and pen
al institutions. Il lie fund now
amounts 10 almost S29.OOO.OOO. and
gives Minnesota g larger school fund
than HAT OF any other state in the
Union. -Four neighbOring states to
which the national government was
not less generous in allOting public
lands, have all together funds of only
SIG. OOO, 600.
Moreover, Minnesota still owns p
500. 600 acres, mainly in the timber
district: and from the sale OftIheIi inn
Der and of the land to thessetflers
the state will double it's present per
manent fund before many years have
passed. More important still. it owns
10000 acres of land in which there are
rich deposits Of iron. The state has
leased the iron-ore land for long per-
iods at advantageous terms. The
land has already yielded $4,000, 600. and
under the present contracts it will
Weld about $3.50, 100000 i'm the next
generation. Thus. by 1880 Minnesota
expects 10 have permanent fund OF
fully 5000, 600. 600. which vii. yield at
four per cent. 5000, 600 year for its
schools and other public institutions.
Tie care Of this fund is an impor-
tant part of the business Of the state
government. which acts in the capa
city of trustee. OF the present fund
Of nearly $40. 100000 about 5000. 600
is invested in the bonds Of other
states. Sl5.O0O.0OO has been lent to
counties. cities and townships within
the state. and the rest. drawing in
terest at four per cent. is in contracts
OF sale for farming lands.
Minnesota deserves the !leartieet
of the other states
for the far sighted wisdom of its early
lawmakers. and for the fidelity with
which lis officials of later years have
guarded their trust. Such splendid
record of efficiency and honesty gives
new heart to those who are working
for the welfare of states that have
been less 1hrifly.".
