Canned Pastures
Favored by Farmers

Canned pasture" is meeting with
favor among Minnesota farmers. A
count of silos or "green corn preserv-
ers" in this state shows that 29,419
farmers are now using this means of
assuring their dairy cows and other
stock of green pasture for the cold
weather period.
On farms where there is great
need for succulent winter feed as a
substitute for pasture, or where there
is danger of pasture shortage in
summer, on farms on which a limited
production of roughage is possible,
and where it is necessary to get the
greatest possible amount of feed from
each acre, the silo is both practical
and advantageous, states the institute.

The Northern States is entirely re-
building the high line between Frank

copper wires and new insulators are,
being used. A crew of about thirty
men are being used in this work.
While this work is under way it is
necessary to shut the current on the
line between Franklin and Morton,
so Morgan and Morton are being sup
piled with service from Redwood
Falls from a. m. to p. m. This
makes a rather heavy "load' for
Redwood, but switch back is made

STOCK COMPANY is
NOT MUCH BENEFIT

The visit of the Henderson Stock
Company to Fairfax last week may
have furnished some fairly good en-
tertainment to the public but it also
took considerable money from this
community and in turn was a direct
injury to several lines Of business,
which could not be offset by the $50
paid to the village. 1t is doubtful if
these shows, with their cheap medi-
cines, soaps and candy and cheaper
prizes offered to increase sales, are
Of any benefit, even though the en-
tertainment be above criticism. Not
only is the community flooded with
their cheap wares, to the detriment

A War Museum.

Proposal is made to transform the
Pension Office Building into q museum
of the wars OF the United States. The
commissioner Of pensions urges that
the building become the national re.
pository "of war trophies, mementos,
implements and uniforms which would
bear to posterity the story In graphic
form Of the wars in which the United
States has engaged" A resolution has
been prepared to be Jointly introduced
in the Senate and House. which pro-
vides for the appointment Of a com.
mission to investigate and report on
the proposed war memorial.
The Pension Building itself was
built in 1888 as a memorial 10 soldiers
of the Civil War and earlier wars. The
commissioner Of pensions has said:
There Is wealth Of material for the
proposed war museum, much of It
stored in Government buildings here,
some in the custody Of patriotic So
cieties, Grand Army posts and in.
dividuals who would be glad TO avail
themselves Of such depository for
their cherished relics. Brought to
gether for display within the Pension
Building, which now contains millions
of claims growing in value as historic
documents with the lapse Of time, they
would become one Of the attractions Of
the Nations Capital and Of inestirna-
bic value as a source Of inspiration to
those. who while enjoying the blessings
Of the Nation might otherwise forget
those brave men whose struggles and
sacrifices made possible a great Ma.
ton dedicated to the proposition Of
equal liberty for all.'
A war museum at Washington
would be a permanent source of in.
struction and rich in material asso.
ciated with and illustrative Of the his
tory Of the Republic in its tragic and
most eventful phases. Collections Of
relics Of the Revolution, the second
war with England, the Mexican War
and the war between the States are in
the National Museum. and In that mu.
scum there is already crowding of
relics Of the World War. AS pension
business Of the Civil War declines the
Pension Building will become lonely
place. and to preserve 1t from becon.
ing an empty memorial it must be con.
verted to another use. Perhaps this
historic structure could be put to no
more significant and fitting use than

The Bridge Bill.

Request has been made for a recon.
sideration OF the vote by which the
Senate passed the Memorial Bridge
bill the other day, but there Is little
reason to believe that the Senate will
refuse to enact this measure. It is a
fact that the bill was passed without
debate on the first instance for the
known of the perennial questions be-
fore Congress. The Senate has repeat.
edly approved 1t. It has passed It in
the form of separate bills. and has
added it as amendments to appropria.
ton bills, only to have them stricken
out in conference.
1t may, perhaps. be well TO have the
bill debated and the urgent reasons
for this construction spread on the
record. Surely there will be no protest
from the country at large on the score
Of economy against such an enact
ment, even with an appropriation OF
over s14 100000. For the need Of a
| causeway between Washington and
the national cemetery at Arlington is
thoroughly understood. The danger.

tomb Of the Unknown Soldier was
dedicated, were the subject Of nation.
wide comment, and from all quarters
came expressions OF the hope that a
suitable means Of access to the ma
tional cemetery would be speedily pro-
| vided.
This is a matter Of patriotic neces-
sty and Of practical need as well. The
money required for the construction
will be spent over a period Of years,
for this work cannot be finished in a
hurry. The annual drain upon the
Treasury will be slight in comparison
with the value Of the service rendered
by the bridge.

cooperative services OF a committee

twenty-five years is a. long time
Tor man to remain in official life
in Washington and that Is why the
going of Jules Jusserand, Ambassa-
dor or France, is looked upon in the
National Capital as the loss of a
valued old resident. During his long
so)ourn in the Capital M. Jusserand
has been far more than a diplomat
he mas In truth been q Washing
tonian. He has watched the Capital
develop with as much pride as IL 1t
had been his own Paris.
NJ. Jusserand knows his Washing
ton. He has rambled through its
every quarter. He has spent many
happy days in its environs. A lover
OF nature, friend of the birds, NJ.
Jusserand long has been a wanderer
In the Washington woods. Ever and
ever he has seen the city encroach
upon homes of the feathered song
sters and where once he could sit
in solitude, listening to the birds,
there is the hum of traffic in built
up streets.
NJ. Jusserand Is leaving Washing
ton with many pang, not SO much
because the hour seems dark for his
beloved France-and he would have
timed his departure otherwise IL h.
could-but because he is parting from
many old friends-the friends that
come from spending a generation In
their midst. 1t is small wonder that
the residents of Washington are
planning a great dinner and reception
Tor the departing diplomat, and il
seems particularly fitting that Chief
Justice Taft should be the chairman
OF the committee in charge OF a
function that promises to be mem
ofable in the life OF the Capital.

The span OF NJ Jusserand's service
to his country in Washington may
best be measured by the fact tha,
there are today only two men in
the Senate who were there when NJ
Jusserand presented his credentials
to President Roosevelt Senators
Warren OF Wyoming and Simmons
or North Carolina are the two.
or the 4S5 members OF the House
OF Representatives only five were ir

Holmes was sworn in just after NJ

scribed by fixed rules. restricted by

past enable US to forecast conduct
under certain conditions. The strange
thing to me Is that we discount the
means at hand of anticipating the
future. We ignore the lessons of the

passing of the years, overlook signs
which plainly point the way. In brief,
