Of five and twenty-one years; and shall
be faithfully applied to the specific
objects of the original grants or APP
preparations. Suitable laws shall be
enacted by the Legislature for the safe
investment of the principal of all funds
which have heretofore arisen or which
may hereafter arise from the sale or
other disposition Of such lands, or the
income from such lands accruing in
thereof in Understanding bonds Of
the United States or of the State Of
Minnesota issued after the year 1850,

the state, or that may hereafter accrue
pane officers, and the minimum price
shall be the same less one-tIird, as is

iat e and and undimints she'd: one-haif Of
n apt t. to ' the p common Sn School
fund Of the state; the remaining one
half shall be appropriated to the edu-
eational and charitable institutions OF
the state in the relative ratio of cost
10 support said institutions"
The paragraph which 1T ls proposed
to add to said Section Two reads aS
follows:
"a revolving fund of not over
two hundred fifty thousand dol.
lars ($25O,0O0) may be set apart
from the fund derived from the
sale of school and swamp lands,
bitches and fire breaks in, through
and around unsold school and
swamp lands and in clearing such
lands such fund to be replenished
as long as needed from the en-
HANGED value realized from the sale
Under Section Two as 1t now stands
the proceeds of the sale Of school and
swamp lands constitute the principal
of trust fund, the income of which
is used for the support of the schools,
of the state. Section Two as it now
stands provides that the principal Of
such fund shall forever be preserved
inviolate and undiminished."
THE EFFECT of the proposed
amendment, if adopted, will be to mod
ify the provision last quoted to tho
extent of permitting the legislature to
set aside not to exceed $2JO,OOO of the
principal of the trust fund as a revOlv~
ing fund to be used for the purposes
stated in the amendment proposed.

ORDER AND FREQUENCY
OF FEEDING COWS

A question often asked Is whether
milk cows should be fed grain or
roughage first, says the Kansas
Farmer. Some even think cows should
be fed three times day to induce the
heaviest production. or course this Is
done when very high producing cows
are being fed for records. Cows have a
big paunch capacity. and in ordinary
practice feeding twice daily Is rea
sonable rule 10 follow.
Where cows have the freedom Of a
yard during the day it Is a good plan
for them to have some roughage In
racks 10 pick over between regular
feeds. Cows are creatures OF habit.
and regularity In whatever practice Is
adopted Is OF the greatest Importance
From physiological standpoint II
does not make much difference wheth-
er the grain or roughage Is fed first

Veteran Piano Tuner Killed.

Henry E. Finney. rs years old. a
widely known Chicago piano tuner,
was walking wearily homeward last
Friday evening. He had worked all
day and was tired from the work and
the heat. An automobile sounded its
horn and the veteran piano tuner be-
came confused. He stepped in front
of the machine, was run down and
killed. The driver OF the automobile
was arrested. The dead tuner lived
at 5755 Dorchester avenue. Chicago.
Mr.. Finney was one of the group
OF Chicago piano tuners deserving of
the honorable title of veteran and
among the veterans he was the pa
triarch of them all. Most men are
proud of continuance In line OF

himself to step out and take 1t easy

many oldtimers. He made regular
trips to La Junta over period OF
twenty-five years. He first started
