Butter Revenue Is
Trcblcd Since 1899
Dairy Products Of ali Kinds Estimlt-
ted to Bring $4O.0oO,00o An
nuallY to Farmers

The output of Minnesota creamery
has more than doubled within the past
twelve years and the revenue derived
by citizens of the state from the sale Of
butter fat has m ,re than trebled in the
same time. These statements are con-
tinued in report just issued by H. ].
Maxfield, commissioner of immigration.
He says,
"In 1899 Minnesota had 582 cream
cries. and in 1911 she had 8l4. In 1899
our creamsries manufactured "A. .007, 1888
pounds of butter. against 9S,9S4, 7s9
pounds in 1911. Here is the most in
teresting and important facts of all.
In 1899 $6,959, ,914.55was paid out to our
farmers for butter fat against $22, 3sl,-
375.26 in 1911. or . gain Of SIS. .42l, AGO.
Il. more than three times as much in
1911 as was paid out in 1899. This, of
course. is not due entirely to increased
production, but largely to advance in
prices.
THE advance in price can best bs
observed by comparing the average
price paid per pound for butter fat in
1899, which was IFS cents, against e.
18 cents in 1911, an advence of abont 10
cents per pound. In 1899 the creamer-
les of this state had 40.l89 patrons,
against 90.7O4 in 1911. Three hundred
and thirty-one thousand five hundred
and twelve cows were supplying Mime
sofa creameries in 1899. against 7l4.3l8
in 1911. These two latter cases show
a substantial increase and both have
more than doubled. The following ta-
BILE shows some figures from Minnesota.

'.The above figures were taken from
the dairy and food commissioners re-
ports. The 1911 report shows that
Minnesota cows produced an average
of l39 pounds of butter each. The
amount received by esch patron aver
aged $24s.75. ,Wnsn we consider the
fact that Minnesota has many thou
sands of acres Of undeveloped land, all
of which are particularly adapted to
dairying, her future % dairy state
looks exceedingly bright. and I pre-

Old Law Re.enscted
ssBy chapter 81 Of the session
laws Of 1911 the electors Of any
CITY having adopted the commis-
sion system were given the oppor.
tunity Of exercising the initiative
and referendum with respect to
city ordinances, and such chapter
also gives them the power, upon
the filing Of sufficient petition
to recall the president or any com.
missioner. at q subsequent election.
This law, with some slight modi.
fications, was re-enacted in bill
introduced by Representative
Biakemore and passed at the re.
cent session of the Legislature.
Undoubtedly at the present
time the commission system Of city
government appeals to the major.
ityo OF the voters Of Fargo, as being
Ia great improvement over the pres.
ent form Of city government.
There is, however, minority at
this tins working persistently
against the adoption of the new
system Of government for Fargo.
Those particularly interested in
securing the defeat Of the com.
mission 81 ysteln on April Z are not
now appearing as openly opposed
to its adoption, but nevertheless
using every means known to them
to insure its rejection. 1t behooves
every elector interested in secur-
ing the commission system for
Fargo to Set to work for it. Es-
pecially should've refute, wherever
heard, any charge that the laws
covering the. commission system
of city government are not as we'll
considered and as advantage ,u. to
cities operating hereunder as are
those of any other state. In state
ments Of this character lie the
only chance to mislead the electors
of Fargo into opposing the adop-
Ftion Of the commission plan.
..Our laws are all right, the COM

I. Is the Roman Catholic Church a
corporation? II so, when was 1t incor-
porated? 2. If the Roman Catholic
Church is a corporation, is the Pope
the head of the corporation and is he
owner of all Church property through
out the world? 8. Are all Catholics
stockholders in the corporation?
1. The Catholic Church universal is
not corporation in the technical bust
ness sense, nor has it ever been in
corporated. Particular churches, do
ceses, converts, and other religious
institutions are frequently incorporated
according to the laws of the coun-
try or state in which they are located.
2. That the Pope is the true owner
of all the Church property throughout
the world, is an opinion which has
been held by some canonists. But the
prevailing and most probable view of
the canonists is that the ownership
of Church property is vested in par
ticular parishes, dioceses, or religious
institutions. 8. Individual Catholics
are not stockholders or owners of
Church property.

OF HOLLAND
CELEBRATES CENTENARY OF IN
DEPENDENCE THIS Wharf.-The
STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM FOR
RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS.

Holland celebrates this year it's cen
tenary of independence as a kingdom,
and the Catholics of that gallant little
nation are preparing memorial vol
ume called Catholic Holland, 1873
1913,' showing the progress Of the
Church during the last one hundred
years. The story is well worth tell
ing. It was on November 80, 1873,
that William, son of the last stadt-
holder, William v, landed at Scheven-
ingen, and as King William assumed
sovereign authority on the condition
that a constitution would be granted
Since then the Catholics, minority
in the Kingdom, and subject for years
to laws that Disseminated against
them in many ways, have struggled
vigorously for their rights. Perhaps
their greatest achievement was the
defeat with the aid of Christians of
other denominations of the so-called
neutral school and the securing of
freedom for religious schools. The
New Zealand Tablet describes the
movement as follows:
Holland was the first country in
Europe to be subjected to the 'neu-
trail or undenominational system of
State education. A Liberal or "anti-
clerical Gas they call themselves in
Europe) Government was able to in
troduce it into that country in 1867.
The conditions of the country enabled
them to do this. Much dissatisfaction
prevailed at the time owing to the pre-
dominance and obtrusiveness in the
schools Of the country of the Calvin
istic, or if you like, Presbyterian ma
jority The Catholic people and others
had cause for complaint. The Lib
erals and those tainted with French
anti Christian principles seized the OPP
portunity to play one lot against the
other. They proposed neutral" sys-
tenn Of education wherein no denomi
nation would have favors beyond an
other. AT first sight, the proposal
seemed fair. Many fell in with It; and
amongst them many Catholics. Thus

NOAH S ARK
ITS DIMENSIONS AND CAPACITY

We have recently seen some cal
culations with regard to the size of
Noes Tor Noah's) Ark, which may
interest some of our readers, says the
Catholic Record of London, Ont Ac-
cording to Josephus, the dimensions
were 800 cubits in length, so in
breadth, and 80 in heighth. A cubit
being about 21 inches, this would make
the ark, in round figures, SIS feet long,
SO feet wide, and 521s feet high-the
size of a good modern ocean liner
Some modern sceptics have attempted
to show from these figures that it
would have been impossible to house
within it the animals enumerated in
the Mosaic narrative. A little consid-
GRAFTON will show the falsity of this
deduction. Allowing 40 cubic feet to
the ton, the amount of space allotted
to general merchandise, the Ark,
which had a cubic measurement of
2,375,100 feet, would have a displace-
ment of 59,377 tons. AS the vessel had
no superstructure such as Lighthouses
VI UI4uSSS, duu CduuOL NC SuppOS0u 10
have had engines (nor, from the Bibli-
cal description, masts), these measure
ments do not exaggerate her carrying
capacity. Josephus tells us that she
was built up to the very top, and
rooted in, to keep out the waters of
the Deluge. Our informant, supposing
Noe to have bulk-headed his vessel
into apartments of 10x10x10 feet, fig
ures that he would have 2,375 of these
This to keep each distinctive species
of his charge separate and in order
Were the Ark loaded with coal, it
would contain enough, at the rate Of
20 tons week, to keep fair-sized fac
tory going for 81 years, or to fill a
space covering good city block. Even
from a modern point of view, it had
ample capacity for the purpose in
tended by divine Providence. In this,
as in other things, the Mosaic nara
tive will stand the tests of the investi-
gator.

Fathers who had been driven from
Belgium by the French revolutionary
influence, opened the convent of St.
Rose in Washington, KY. In order to
reduce the cost of schooling the
pupils were required to perform daily
four hours of manual labor on the
farm. Later these Dominican schools
were closed, and Father Fenwick, who
had been in charge of them, was made
the first Bishop of Cincinnati and be-
came the founder of the first educa-
tional institution in Ohio,
Father Richard, member of the
Sulpician order, was a pioneer in the
printing of school books in the State

Early Catholic Normal Schools.
The close connection of the Catholic
orders with the European orders of
which they were branches and the fact
that each Catholic order mentioned SO
far is simply permanent organiza-
ton of teachers, who live community
life directed by the Church combined
to produce for the Catholic schools
better trained teachers than were
available in those early days for the
lay public schools. The Brothers and
Sisters of each Order were obliged to
pass through membership training
called a novitiate. A large part of the
training given in this novitiate had to
do with training for the teaching pro-
fession. Thus, each teaching order
practically had it's own normal or
training school long before Horace
Mann established the first normal
school in Massachusetts.

HOLY COD, We
PRAISHHY NAM E
INTERESTING HISTORY OF A
HYMN WHICH HAS ACHIEVED
WIDE USE AS A PRACTICABLE
TIE DEuM FOR CONGREGATION
AL SINGING.

A study of the words and music of
this hymn has much to offer us both
of historical interest and of practical
value, writes Rev. H. T. Henry, Lit
D., in the Ecclesiastical Review.
First of all, on the historical side,
many of us doubtless know that the
words we're composed by Father Clar-
ence Walworth, and that he was con-
vert to our faith; but how many of US
could offer probable demonstration
that the hymn was composed after his
conversion? His figure was one of
prominence in American Catholic his
tory, both as missionary and as a
forceful and fairly prolific writer. It
is therefore curious to reflect that, for
a biographical account of him in a
book of reference, American Catholics
should be required to go to Julian's
Dictionary of Hymnology," and that
the necessarily brief notice there
given should have been due to the pen
OF D Presbyterian clergyman.
