IN THIS STATE Over 100,000,000 Pounds of But-| ter Made in Minnesota Dnr- ing Past Year. 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. AS The reason for this increase, acy 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 improyement 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- | cannot appyopriate funds for contin- | | uous road maintenance through road ipaircls, becaus>? a conusti‘utional provi!

The commission propos 4 xpense of the road main- | nce be borne by the counties cording to George W. Cooley, way engineer, who says a Dill includ- ing these features will be presented | to the legislature next winter. Under the présent system the state sion! limits the fund to a levy of on- ly a quarter of a mill. 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, tothe mense quantities of fertilization are removed that can nevér 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 fhade in the state. AGRICULTURE IN THE HIGH SCHOOIS Principles of Funjamental Industry of Minnesota Being Taught in Many Schools Three years ago by the Putnam Act ten high schools anil graded schools in Minmesota 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 a move along the 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 thet the pupils will have to deal with when they have left those schools. In a state in which agriculture is as important as in Minmesota it would seem to us perfectly logical to teach in all of the schools of the state something of the priniples of this fundamemital 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-Benson act, so that during the past year there have been between 85 amd 90 schools giving instruction in agriculture and other industrial subjects, One of the best things that these appropriations heavy tractors for plowing, reaping, threshing, hauling and ajl other kinds of heavy work, says a writer in! Farm and Home. The gas engine wil 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 {and even the grindstone. Wherever there is a wheel to turn, the little engine is ready and willing to per- form the task. jThe usual mistake is to get too smal] an 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. Be sure ito get one large enough. A large engine will do several tasks at once which would otherwise have to wait their turn if a small engine was used. speaking, barred. from securing fur- ther education. 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 | f be barred from our public schools, they will certainly have warranted ‘| the small expenditure which they hay entajled—A.
