LUTHER SHUT OUT.
st. Olaf Evens Up Base Ball Honors
With Luther, 5 to o.

st. Olaf evened up base ball hon
ors with Luther college Thursday by
defeating the DEBORAH team on the
home field by to 0 score. Luther
had won the Seventeenth of May
game by score of to after 10
innings of play.
Veldey, who was in the box for st.
Olaf, was the particular star of the
day, although splendidly supported
by his teammates. He allowed only
one hit, struck out five, and passed
only two. The grounds were soft from
the rain in the morning, and this fact
accounted for several of the st. Olaf
hits, the Luther fielders especially
finding difficulty in keeping their
footing in going after flies.
Following is the box score and
summary:

Lot OF Eggs.

The Woldum Produce company
has informed us that the egg bust
ness this season i. not up 10 the stan
dard that it has been in the past, the
shortage being accounted for by the
lack of hens. But during the past
two months and half they have
done over $4,000 worth O. business
and they have received loads of eggs
worth 1886 and more. Last years
business for four molths amounted
to over SOS, 900, which is conceded to

How to Produce the Best Cream.

II. C. Nevius, field man of the de
partment of agriculture in the state
agricultural college, makes the fol
lowing suggestions for producing q
good grade of cream.
"a great interest is being taken
Farmers are just beginning to rea-
lize the value of high grade stock.
The difference between a scrub and
a good COW may mean profit or loss
in the dairy business. Pure bred
sires OF dairy breeds will increase the
production of almost any herd. The
quality of dairy products here can be
greatly improved. Much cream sold
on the local market is good. The ma
tural advantage of this district makes
dairying especially desirable. While
some farmers are very careful wish
this cream, others are just as care
less, yet they receive the same price
for their product. If all dairymen
will follow few simple rules for
handling their cream, the quality of
the finished product will be improv.
ed, and will soon be in demand at bet
ter prices. Where the quality is good
there is no trouble to sell butter or
cheese at good prices. Wisconsin and
Iowa are taking the lead along these
lines and the reaping the benefit.
Cream testing below 30 per cent but
ter fat should not be sold for but
ter making. Low testing cream de
teriorates very fast and the farm
er loses much of the valuable skim
milk that should be fed on the farm
cream should be delivered at least
every three days during the warm
Weather and every four days during
cold weather. Farm separators
should be washed each time after u.s.
ng. Cream should be cooled after
operating before adding to the cream
,an, and should be kept in cool
place. By cooperating to bring up
the quality of cream better butter
can be produced and higher prices
will result for ALL"

any legislature. 1t has created an in
dustrial relations commission, and
enacted most desirable workmen's
compensation law; it has passed a
wise and enforceable prohibition law
in conformity with the constitution
al amendment adopted by the peo
pie and in obedience to their mandate;
in order that scientific management
should be applied to the business af-
fairs of the state a committee has
been appointed by the Legislature to
submit an ineligible plan for bring
ing order out of chaos; and in short
the last Legislature, controlled by the
Republican party, enecated body of
laws of which our people are Justly
proud.
We commend most heartily the
present state administration, headed
by Hon. George A. Carlson, governor,
and congratulate him upon his wise
honest and fearless course in dis
charging his duties.
As result of wise laws and their
fair and able enforcement, industrial
conditions in our beloved state have
improved by leaps and bounds, and
our workingmen are protected in their
right to labor and support their fam
lilies without fear of assault or op-
preston from any source whatever.
AS Republicans we are welded to
principles rather than to individuals
and pledge our support to the candi-
dates of our party that represent
those principles as our standard bear
ers at the coming election. In ma
tional politics we demand that ev-
cry American citizen shall be pro-
tected in life, liberty, property, and
pursuit of happiness wherever he
may be engaged in lawful occupa-
tions of pleasure or profit, and that
such protection shall be granted to
the fullest extent, supported by the
whole power of our nation, the most
powerful on earth; and in so far as
the present Democratic national adj
ministration has failed to live up to
this standard, it deserves the Sc
verest condemnation.
| Looking confidently to the voice OF
the people to be expressed at the polls
this year, we invite all who are like
minded to join with us in securing
the overwhelming Republican victory
in the state and nation that now looms
large on the political horizon.

With the Durango Excnauge and will
