Ten million pounds of putter, more than ever before produced in Min- nesota during 12 months is the rec- ord for the past year, according to the forthcoming annual report of State Food and Dairy Commissioner Joel G, Winkjer. ie, The reason for this increase, ac~ cording to Mr. Winkjer, is the in- crease in cooperative creameries. These have brought the farmers in closer touch with each other, The comin: report will show that besides more scientific farming as a result of the cooperative organizations there has been a decided improvement in the quality of stock. Mr. Winkjer proposes to show by a compilation of values that the put- ter industry is one of the most im- portant agricultural pursuits of the state. One of the chief advantages in raising stock, feeding the grain at home and selling the products is that practically no soil fertility is removed from the farm, whereas when the grain is shipped away im- mense quantities of fertilization are removed that can never be returned except in the form of commercial fertilization. This year, it ts said, will show that more than 100,000,000 pounds of but- ter have been fnade in the state. AGRICULTURE IN son. The Cohasset potato warehouse is rapidly nearing completion and it is expected will be ready to receve pro- duce on or about October 10th, The building is being equipped with sort- ers and elevators operated by a gasoline engine which will enable those in charge to handle the crop quickly. A set of compound wagon scales will also be installed under a roof adjoining the warehouse. Morris O’Brien has been, harvest- ing a corn crop the likes of which could not be excelled anywhere, we believe. He has a white dent fodder corn, and the greater part of the stalks stand 10 to 12 feet high, heay- ily loaded with ears. Dr. Hursh also has a field of corn on the south side of the river, in Cohasset. that would put to blush some of the cornfields of other states wich make greater pretensions in growing corn than does northern Minnesota, W.

Fletcher Minnesota Cohasset, Principles of Fun jamental Industry of Minnesota Being Taught in Many Schools Three years ago py the Putnam Act ten high schools an(i graded schools inv Minnesota received annual state aid to the amount of $2,500 each, for the establishment of departments of manual] training, agriculture, and home economics. This we believe to be al move along ithe line of modern progress in education. The tendency at present seems to be to make the schools vital forces along the lines of most interest to the community, and it certainly seems but logical to put in our schools some of the:things ther the pupils will have to deal with when they have left those schools. In a state in which agriculture is as important as im Minmesota it would seem to us perfectly logical to teach in all of the schools of the state something of the priniples of this fundamental industry, We be- neve tnat it is quite as important for the city man or woman to know something in regard to the agricul- ture and country life as it is for the man or woman in the country to have a general idea of the imdus- tries and life of the people through- out the country. It is a broaden- ing, general, liberal education. The 1911 legislature added to the first ten schools twenty more un- der the Putnam Act and fifty or more additional under the Lee-}3enson act,! so that during the past year there have been between 85 and 90 schools giving instruction in agriculture and other industrial subjects, One of the best things that these appropriations have aecomplished is to encourage and enable the 85 schools :o conduct, during 6 to 16 weeks im the winter, short courses for which no entrance requirements are made, This has enabled these schools to give instruc- tion to the large body of boys and girls somewhat mature in age who have not hari the advantage of regular grade school or high school educa- tion and who by lack of such train- ing are not equipped to enter the regular high schools of the commun- ity and are consequently, practically IN THIS STATE : |Over 100,000,000 Pounds of But- .°" {and even the grindstone.

If the con- stitutional amendment permitting a 1-mill levy is adopted state aid prob- ably could be granted the coun-| ties for continuous road maintenance, Secretary Cooley of the commission says: The proposed road patrols would) be furnished through appropriations by boards of county commissioners, to approriate from $50 to $60 amile for the upkeep of state roads, The change tothe continuous maintenance system, therefore, would not be an extremely radical step, The road patrol feature would al- low the employment of men steadily or would permit the temporary em- ployment of farmers. Farmers might work out their road tax this way in- stead of paying them. Power to Do Anything. Gasoline engines are now made in all sizes forall kindsof farm work, from the little fellows just big enough to drive the dairy machinery, washing and sewing machine, to the heavy tractors for plowing, reaping, threshing, hauling and all other kinds of heavy work, says a writer in! Farm and Home, The gas engine will do mest everything, from the family washing tosawing the wood, milking the cows and pumping the water. It can be readily attached to all the farm machinery, to the separator and churn, to all kinds of fodder and sil- age cutters, to the repair tools engine is ready and willing to per- form the task. jThe usual mistake is to get too small @n engine. As soon as the pur- chaser finds out how handy and economical the engine is, he invari- ably finds more and greater tasks for it to do until the poor thing is carrying a heavy overload, Engines, like horses: do not last long when they are overloaded.

Such boys and girls, have been enabled, by these atts, to get from six to sixteen weeks of good, practical instruction which has interested them in further study and better equipped them for the prob- lems they must meet as men and woman. If these acts by the legisla- | ture should do nothing more than to; provide ia each community suitable j short course for the boys and girls who have not had suitable school ad- vantages, and who would otherwise be barred from our public schools, } they will certainly have warranted the small expenditure which they hav entajled.—A.
