THE FIRST COW

The cow played an important
part in the pioneer life of Mime
sofa.
not clear II is known from var
ious records that those who lived
at Grand Portage on Lake Super
Tor more than 10 years gao had
milk and butter. The common men
who did the heavy work OF the
fur trade on the portages had pork
and hominy The managers and
clerks had cream and butter.
There was but one way that
cows could have reached Grand
Portage, That was as bovine pas
sengers on the large heavy lake
canoes and the various craft which
served the fur trade OF the early
DAYS.
Cows came up river on the
boats on the Mississippi Most OF
them came by land TO the pioneer
farms Hitched behind the covered
wagon was usually a COW, or sew
eral OF them, making their slow
way across the prairtes.
The census OF 1880 for the Min.
nesota territory, which Included
most of North Dakota. listed 60T
milk cows.
The pioneers In dairying had no
easy time They had TO develop
land TO provide pasture for sum
mer and hay for the long winters,
The products which they produced
were apt 10 be low in quality and
price. one early farmer did not
expect a gross revenue or more
than $S5 for cow in "A year An.
other lost three head Of cattle TO
the nearby wolves
BY 1880 there were more than
$4,000 cows listed by census talk
crs In 1850 census reported that
li7 600 farmers of Minnesota were
milking i,450,O 900 cows,

EARLY COLLEGES

Many of Minnesotas institu-

centennials within a few years.
The beginning was made in 1854.
Hamline University is a hundred
years old and celebrated its age
with a notable program.
Hamhne began life at Red Wing.
II was named for the Methodist
Bishop Leonidas L. Hamline, who
gave his blessing and $25. 900
worth of real estate. Red Wing
gave a block Of land for a site.
The college started above a
store, built a dormitory and class
room and enrolled Is students the
first year. The tuition was $3.50
a term. Many students could not
pay even this amount and they
were given work on the premises.
Payment was often in kind. One
