E. E. Corliss, custodian of the state
capitol building, has recommended to
the efficiency and economy commission that the state erect a new office
building near the capitol to house
many of the departments. He decared
that the growth of the state and the
departments made a practical office
building necessary. The state board
of control and Governor W. S. Hammond are considering the plans for
using half of the new building to be
erected by the Minnesota State Historical society for that purpose.

Cows Need More Than
Pasture Now
The dairy fanner who keeps
his cows too long in pasture in
the fall suffers a loss. Pasturing too long causes a decrease
in milk production, and recovery is not secured by supplemental feeding later. Supplemental feeding—with silage, if
available—should begin at once.
This will keep cows up to their
best in milk yield not only for
the immediate future but through
the winter.

the interstate commerce commission
at Washington by Ira B. Mills, chairman of the Minnesota railroad and
warehouse commission.
The railroads propose to raise the
passenger rate from 2 to 2V2 cents a
mile. This is opposed by the public
service commissions of sixteen states
that would be affected.
Judge Mills argued that if the interstate commerce commission grants
the increased rate it would be conferring benefits on some railroads that
plainly are not entitled to the added
revenue.
STATE AID DENIED SCHOOLS
Retaining of Sisters as Teachers Is
the Cause.
Because Catholic Sisters are employed as instructors in the schools

been denied all state aid, an annual
loss of $4,389 to the districts affected.
