He Says

A train from Detroit was pounding to-

2s. and a fair young woman, about 10
years his. Junior. The young man stared
out the window with a face OF sullen
gloom. The girl looked down at the
hands in her lap. twisting and untwisting
her wet handkerchief. She was weeping
In a seat facing the two was a man
whose eyes never left them for an in
stant The happy passengers saw the
unhappy man and the unhappy girl and
then considerably looked away. They
wondered what was the sorrow OF these
young people. They did not know, yet
they sympathized and pitied.
The man that faced them stared un-
affected by the young mans sullen and
hopeless ecowl and unmoved by the girl s
tears.
HE DESERTED HIS WIFE.
The young man had deserted his wife
and thrown away the hope of inheriting
his employers business to elope with the
girl to Detroit The second man was the
detective who had been sent to bring the
young man back. after his late employer
had hled a charge of embezzlement
against him.
When West Philadelphia was reached
the girl threw her arms around the man
and, sobbing, declared her undying love
for him, and pledged herself to cling to
him. come what may; to bear with him
whatever punishment he might have to
bear

the girls arms and took him to Central
Police Court for a hearing.
In his cell the young man blamed the
girl for leading him astray, and said he

Amazement was expressed in Philadel-

geographical societies over the news of
Explorer Stefansson's safety.
Professor William e. Lingelbach, presj-
dent of the Geographical Society, said:
Every one who knew Mr.. Stefansson
expected, of course, that he would go
into retirement TO continue his investiga-
tions but hope was lost when what was
thought to be a reasonable period for
him to finish this work had expired.
IT am not certain as to the date, and
indeed, my work In the Geographical So
ciety Is rather removed from very in
timate knowledge of exploration. but 1t

ing will cost about $4,000 when it
is completed, and the district had pre-
viously voted $45,O00. 1t is source
of qualification to Osakis people to
know that the contract is to be let to
a home man, Ole c. Evenson, whose
bid was the lowest out of Fl bids re-
ceived. This will mean that most of
the labor will be secured at home.
The board is of the opinion that a
very favorable contract for the dis
trict has been made, and that Osakis
will receive good value for every dol
lar that will be put into the new
building. The building will be one of
the largest in this section of the

NEED CAREFUL FEEDING
Winter Weather Especially Calls For
Attention on Part of the Farm
er of the Brood Sow.

By R. C. Ashby, Animal Husbandman
MINI. College of Agriculture.
One of the most important things
in swine husbandry is the proper feed
ing of the brood sow. A large per-
centage of the losses at narrowing
time and later are due to the i'm
proper feeding and methods of caring
for the sow during the winter.
The following combinations are re-
commended as good ones for average
brood sows Gall proportions by
weight):
G) 3 parts ear corn, 1 part ground
oats, 1 part alfalfa hay.
(2) Equal parts of shelled corn,
ground corn and shorts.
(3) 5 parts of ear corn, parts al
falfa, 2 parts mangles.
(4) 60 parts corn, 80 parts shorts,
10 parts tankage.
(5) A parts corn, parts roots, 10
parts skim milk.
(6) This is a method of feeding
followed by leading Poland China
breeder in Wisconsin: In the winter
this man keeps alfalfa hay in rack
so that his cows have free access to
it at all times. Every day at noon he
throws over to them several punches
of unthreshed Canadian field peas.
Then at night they are given as many
mangles as they will clean up readily.
The brood SOW must have plenty of
nutriment, but at the same time the
ration must contain milk. Usually
grain is fed at the rate of one to 8
pounds per day for every 100 pounds
liveweight of sows. This amount va
ries according to the age of the sows
and their condition of flesh. Skim
milk, roots, alfalfa hay, pea straw,
etc., may complete the ration. If grain
alone is fed the ration is not only too
expensive, but the sow gets too fat or
else she is hungry. She must have
plenty of protein or heterogeneous ma
terial as we'll as plenty of mineral
matter because these two constitu-
ents make up the greater part of the
body of the young pig. Keep in mind
the following points:
1. Handle your sows so that they
get plenty of exercise every day.
2. See that your ration contains
plenty of protein and mineral matter.
8. See that your sows receive
plenty of nutriment so that they will
be in a good condition of flesh at far
rowing time.
4. Plan the ratio as cheaply as
possible.

OSAKIS
From the Review.

Osakis' new creamery building,
which has just been completed by the
Osakis Farmers Cooperative Cream
cry Company, is a model of it's kind,
and it is doubtful if there are any
better equipped plant in the state.
While there are creamery buildings
that have cost more money, the Osa-
kis institution was built at a very
favorable time and the building shows
that the association has got value for
every dollar expended. The building
was constructed by Ole Evenson, the
local contractor, whose bid was the
lowest, and the contract price was
$5,135. The architect was J. E. Ma
son of Minneapolis. The building is
40x80 feet and has an 10 foot ceiling.
1t is built of hollow clay tile and has
red pressed brick exterior. A large
and conveniently arranged office room
is at the front of the building, and
across the hall is the testing room
equipped with a bottle cabinet that
holds 306 testing bottles. Off from
this room is a weighing room 8x16
feet. The manufacturing room is 40x
A, and in the rear is the big engine
and boiler room, 22x40. The refriger-
ator room is ample enough to meet
the demands for many years. 1t is
12x20 and has a storage capacity of
400 tubs of butter. The basement ex-
tends the full length of the building
and is IA feet deep. The basement
will be utilized for a store room. The
floors, except in the office and hall
way which are of hardwood, are of
cement and the sanitary arrange
ments are ideal. the water supply
taken from an artesian we'll from
which there is constant flow of pure
cold water. Over thousand dollars
has been expended in new machinery
and equipment, and the plant is as
up-to-date as it is possible to make it.
The creamery has a new engine, 8
agitators and two large 'churns. Its
daily capacity is over 1000 pounds of
butter. The entire output is sold in
New York City and Osakis butter al
ways brings a premium.
The proposition to bond the dis
trict for $4,000 additional bonds,
carried at the special election held at
the high school building last Saturday
evening, by vote of 2OS to AZ. The
school board feel that the position
taken by them that it will be better
for the district to build for the future
has been endorsed, and will lose no
time in letting the contract for the
