them desirable horses to counterfeit, and a
man will get an inferior animal with some
Clyde points about him, hire him out to
mares at high prices, and bring the nice
into disrepute by tho disappointing results
tiut follow."
MR. GEORGE E. CASE
of St. Peter, whose stem! of thirty-two
Norman Perclierous has challenged the ad
miring attention of every visitor to the
stock barns, a-; asked why he liked his
breed particularly. In answer he said that
the French had reduced the breeding of
those horses to the last scientific point.
They are suro transmitters and have
one quality which makes them
especially valuable for farm use
that they can draw a heavy
load with great speed. They are
noted for their kindness and docility, and
the certainty with which they transmit
their own qualities give them a degree of
uniformity in all their most important
characteristics that has scarcely ever been
equalled by any other breed.
The Dairy Department.
Meeting T. D. Curtis of Syracuse, N. T.,
on the grounds a day or two ago, and
knowing that he was eminent and reliable
authority on dairy matters in the Empire
state, we felt that he might be able to give
an opinion on Minnesota as a dairy state,
Bo we concluded to interview him and give
oar readers the benefit of his observations.
By way of introductory we may say that in
lsS4Col. Curtis was employed during the
major portion of the cheese-making season
by the Wisconsin Dairymen's association
to visit portions of that state and instruct
makers in a practical way how to
make cheese. In this he was eminently
successful and received a hearty and earnest
vote of thanks from the dairy associa
tion for the manner in which
he conducted the work. The colonel is an
affable gentleman and responded to the re
portorial inquisitor gracefully.
Reporter—Colonel, what do you think of
Minnesota as a dairy state?
• Col. Curtis— l think well of it. It com
pares favorably with any of the so-called
"dairy states." It has the grass, the water
and the climate lor making first-class pro
ducts. The exhibition here testifies to this.
The principal defect in Minnesota butter is
over-working.
THE TAME GRASSES
are easily cultivated and grow luxuriantly
and whero there is a deficiency of water i
can be supplied by wells. lam told tha
artesian wells are successfully sunk in the
valley of the Red river of the North.
Reporter—Are the people of Minnesota a
class likely to take to dairying and to suc
ceed at it.
Colonel —I think they are most de
cidedly. They come largely from
eastern dairying sections, bringing with
them the habits of dairymen. They may
bo said to have inherited a taste for dairy
ing, Indeed, many brought dairy stock
with them, and those were mostly of a
high order of common stock as testified by
the so-called 'native" stock of the state.
Then the people of Minnesota are of a high
moral tone, and full of enterprise and
push. They are introducing blooded stock,
and have done so largely during the past
live years. These, when crossed on the
common stock of the state, make excellent
grades, both for butter and beef.
Reporter— breed or breeds would
you 1 recommend for dairy purposes ?
Colonel —That is a broad, as well as a lead
ing question. Men have ther favorities,
and I feel a little delicacy about giving
special preference to any, for all have their
merits and place among the stock of the
country. But this I may say, I believe
you have depended too much upon the Short
horns for tho dairy. While no breed
ran excel them for beef and some families
still retain their excellent original dairy
finalities, it must be confessed that they run
much more to beef than to milk. The com
paratively recent introduction of Holstein-
Friesian blood is going to prove a great
blessing. They are all enormous milkers
and give milk of an average richness in
i ream and butter-making qualities. It
tal.es from twenty to thirty pounds of Hol-
Btein milk to make a pound of butter, ac
cording to the season, feed and conditions;
but they give so much milk that two or
throe pounds of butter per day is not an un
i-i .Minion yield. Then it is found to be very
rich in caseous matter, and therefore excel
l"nt to feed to pigs and calves. A little
corn meal mixed with it for the piss, and a
Little oil-meal or oil-meal gruel added to it
for the calves makes a well-balanced ration
and they will thrive on it wonderfully. As
to beef, I think the steers, if the stock ever
Kits plenty enough to have them,
will closely hug the Shorthorns. A
few bulls like the ono I recently saw at
Kerkhoven on Mr. George F. Jackson's
farm, which was four years old and weighed
over 3,000 pounds, will soon settle the beef
question. Yet he had all the marks of the
best milk breeds. Possibly ho may be on
the grounds now..So also|the Devon crossed
on your "native" cows, will be forced to
produce good butter animals. And I would
not overlook the little Jersey and her sister,
the Guernsey. They will, in many instan
ces, cross well. But the cross of the Jersey
on the Shorthorn or on the Holstein-Friesian,
is almost too extreme. The Jersey will
cross better on the grades, and more espec
ially on those that are a little under-sized
but excellent otherwise. And here let me
remark that, in mixing a smaller with a
larger breed, I think the smaller male
should always be used on the large female,
and never the reverse. You kuow a horse
and a she ass produce a miserable offspring;
but the ass crossed on the mare results in a
very useful animal. The smaller spirit of
the ass is able to build itself an ample frame
through the mare; but the larger spirit of
the horse is cramped and suffers when
struggling with the contracted frame of the
ass. In crossing animals of all kinds, 1
should use the small male on the large fe
male, and never the reverse, unless it be in
some exceptional cases. Jersey skim milk,
I may add, is worth but little to feed on
for any purpose.
Reporter—Would you advise our farmers
to adopt dairying exclusively?
Colonel —No; I would not. It is safer
and more profitable to follow mixed farm
ing. Dairying may be the leading pursuit,
but should not be the exclusive one. All
that is consumed on tho farm
should bo raised on it, or nearly
as possible. And. by the way, I have been
surprised to learn that Dent corn, which I
have seen on exhibition here, was grown
and ripened this season in Brainerd on the
Northern Pacific railroad. Yet, this is an
exceptionally short season, beginning late
and closing early, with cutting frosts al
ready in localities. But let me ask, is it the
best policy t<> at once cut up the frost-bit
ten com? Would it not get considerable
nourishment from the green stalk, and
harden better if left standing? The fodder
is spoiled anyway, unless it can be at once
put into silos before the rains wash it orthe
heavy dews bleach it.
Reporter—What do you think of the
future of dairying in view of the present de
pression of the market?
Colonel—l think the dairy business is
suffering in common "with all
other kinds of business and from
the same causes. Our competitive and
credit system of doing business for
the benefit of a few capitalists requires a
period of about ten years for us to get heels
over head in debt and get out again. When
we are getting into debt and spending
money we have good times. When we are
settling up we have hard times. We are
now settling up and I think tlio accounts
are pretty nearly squared. All the surplus
earnings of the debtor class have been
handed over to tho millionaires, and we are
about to begin again. Capitalists will
freely loan, business men will freely bor
row, and I think we are about ready to
begin booming business for another five or
six years. Hence I look fora turn in tho
tide soon, which will help dairying with all
other kinds of business.
Reporter —What cau we do to improve
our markets?
Colonel —Very little at present as I cau
see. We must certainly and ever aim to
MAKE BETTEB GOODS.
Better dairy products always mean in
creased consumption. Every one will eat j
more good butter or cheese than he will if
poor. And here let me remark that bogus
butter has hurt the market more by dis
couraging consumption than by crowding
out dairy products. 1 think hotel and res
taurant keepers, if they havo been observ
ing, will testify to this. L never sit down
to a public tabio without thinking of bogus
butter when the butter dish appears. I
taste it daintily; I eat it sparingly. Ido
not eat half as much as I formerly did. I
presume others are affected to the same way;
indeed, I have learned to eat less at home.
The habit acquired in traveling sticks to
me. lam sure my individual consumption
of butter has been reduced more
than one-half, Others are probably simi
larly affected. We havo become a travel
ing people. Our crowded railroad cars
show this. Now suppose the consumption
of butter by the traveling community has
been reduced 25 per cent, by the fear of
eating bogus butter, Is it not plain that tins
must produce a marked effect on a market
already fully supplied. Further, the public
palate demands a better article; many will
go without rather than eat stale butter.
This was not so a few years ago. The in
crease in tho production of fine butter has
not been equal to the increase in demand
for it. Hence the market is glutted
WITH STALE BUTTEH
that has to be sold for grease. We ought to
cultivate local and special markets; those
dairymen who make a iine article and sup
ply a special line of customers, get the best
prices and their goods meet with the
freest consumption; indeed, wo ought by
all means to develop and establish home
markets for everything. Minnesota, like
all other states, shonld develop all her nat
ural resources and build up manufactories
and a produce-consuming population among
her farmers that will make a maiket for
all kinds of products of the soil. It is
possible, in this way, to so balance our
markets that there will be little or no need
of a foreign, or even a distant home mar
ket: this would insure a steady demand and
steady prices based on an equitable ex
change of labor products of all kinds.
Reporter — Is not the severe winter cli
mate of Minnesota against her success iv
dairying?
Colonel—ln ths sense of ad
ding to tho labors of the dairy
men, yes; but in a broader, deeper, and
more practical sense, no. A warm climate
is enervating and tends to idleness and
ease. It softens the muscles and fibers of
tho brain, causing a feeling of lassitude
and even an indisposition to think and
plan, just as the warm weather softens the
meat of the fish in our shallow waters. A
more vigorous climate is invigorating, stim
ulating both thought and action. History
shows that the conquering nations are of
the north temperate zone. One of the
greatest drawbacks to dairying in the
Southern states is in the indisposition of
their inhabitants to regularly attend to
dairy stock, milk the cows and make but
ter or cheese every day. They prefer beef
raising and herding their cattle, which is
less laborious and less confining. In the
North more interest is felt in stock and in
the care of animals; more attention is paid
to breeding and rearing stock. So what is
lost by a colder climate is more than made
up by the increased stimulus to activity and
enterprise, to greater industry and closer
economy, with, I may add without offense
to our Southern friends, more rapid pro
gress and greater accumulation of wealth.
In all ases and countries where man has
paid most attention to the breeding and
care of domestic animals, he has developed
most rapidly in his social feelings,in morals,
and in intellect and refinement.
Thanking: the colonel for his patience
and the promptness with which he answered
the questions, we bade him good-day. We
commend what ho says to our readers and
hope it will prove of interest to them.
CREAM BY MACHINERY.
If, a few years ago, people had said that
cream would be raised by machinery on the
fair grounds of the state agricultural soci
ety, they would have been laughed at; yet
nevertheless, the operation has been per
formed, and to the satisfaction and gratifi
cation of many. Mr. J. J. Hill sent down
his De Laval cream separator, and it was
put in operation in the dairy building yes
terday under the direction of Miss Elizabeth
M. Leggitt, who is also the manager of Mr.
Hill's dairy. We have often read of milk
maids, but since creameries have been built
they have almost entirely disappeared; but
Miss Leggitt is a veritable milkmaid, and
makes the butter at Mr. Hill's Northoaks
farm, which, by the way, sells at 30 cents
per pound the year round. This separator
raises cream by centrifugal force. The sep
arator is run by steam at the rate of 7,000
revolutions per minute, the milk is warmed
to about 80 °, when it passes through the
separator at the rate of 900 pounds of milk
per hour, the skimmed milk discharging
from one pipe and the cream from another.
So effectually does the separator do its work
that there is not cream enough on the milk
after "being shook up" to make sufficient
grease to oil the joint of a pair of scissors.
"Will that cream make butter after being
knocked about by that machine?" asked a by
stander. "Yes, but it must be cooled auickly
in the summer months, say to about 50 ° ,
and that too as soon as possible after leaving
the machine; this must be done to save the
grain. Separator cream must also be churned
colder by two or three degrees than cream
by the old process."
"Is the butter made from cream raised by
centrifugal force as good as that made from
cream raised by the old method' 1" was asked.
"Yes; but we do not believe it will keep quite
as long; yet even this has not been fully
demonstrated; but certain it is, that in the
dairy districts, where the milk is sent to the
creameries, they are being quite largely
used. Occasionally a butter-maker will say
his butter is not so fine as it used to be, and
attributes it to the separator."
"WID it pay a fanner to buy one of those
separators?" "Yes, we answer, if he has a
large dairy of 50 or 100 cows and makes the
butter on the farm. It is claimed that 10
per cent, more butter can be made by
using them than is made by the old
system, but as they cost about 53,000
in Chicago they are rather expensive; yet a
wheat grower does not hesitate about buy
ing a harvesting machine which is only a
labor saver and does not increase the quan
tity of grain, while by the seaprator it is
quite easy to demonstrate tiiat more cream
can be had from the milk than by any other
method known, and if all farmers could get
30 cents per pound for their butter as Mr.
Hiil does, it would pay them to have one of
the machines. Nearly all the fancy-butter
makers in the East use them, and about El
gin, 111., a large number are in use.and they
appear to give satisfaction, and as they be
come known we presume they will grow in
favor in this state. One advantage in using
a separator is that the cream can be taken
iroin the milk almost as soon as it is taken
from the cow and is left perfectly sweet, so
that it can be used for feeding purposes."

DAIRY DOTS.
Messrs. Davis, Dexter and Hoard, the
judges on butter and cheese, are competent
gentlemen, and their judgment will be im
partial.
The Globe artist did himself proud in
sketching the dairy celebrities in yester
day's edition. Everyone recognized them.
St. Paul Day.
Tbe really big day of tho fnir will occur
to-day—St. Paul day—when more features
of interest will be ou the program than at
any other day. From morning until night
the day will be chock full of interest. In
the morning the St. Paul Lacrosse teams,
in their new uniforms, presented by the
citizens of St. Paul, will give
an exhibition game. The uniform of the
teams are especially attractive. One team
has blue shirts and caps, with grey knicker
bockers, and the other black and white
shirts, with white caps. The contest will
bo close and the game the most interesting
that has ever been seen iv St. Paul. The
teams are as follows:
L. I. Martin, H. Warwick, A. Gilberton,
J. Stark, A. D. Warner, J. Mann, W. Mc-
Robie, J. Sinclair, J. Kenney, E. Murphy,
R. Martin, Capt. D. McDonald.
George Warwick, C. Sherwood, W. On-,
D. Mahoney, R. A. Divine, A. Starke, Doc
Whitcomb, F. Peters, B. Shea, J. Kent, P.
P. Coghlan, J. Shea.
In the forenoon, beginning at 10 o'leock,
the sale of thorough-bred cattle will take
place, with the hammer in the hands of
Capt. P. C. Kidd. The first lot to be sold
will be 11. G. Finkle's stable, the sale oc
curring on the rising ground in the rear of
the stables near the big windmill.
At noon Gov. Hubbard, Mayor Rice and
other dignaturies will arrive at the grounds
and will at once De escorted to a platform
near the south end of the main building by
Company D, Minnesota National Guards,
the crack company of the United States.
On reaching; the platform a lightning drill
will be given by a battery from Fort Snell-
Ing, after which the military and the digni
taries will proceed to the amphi
theatre, in front of which Com
pany D will give an ex
hibition drill. Returning to the plat
form the formal dedication of the fair
grounds and presentation to the state will |
be made, speeches being made by Gov.
Hubbard and Mayor Rice, the latter, on be
half of tho county commissioners, turning j
the grounds over to Gov. Hubbard, and he. i
in turn, recommending them to the tender |
mercies ot the board of agriculture.
The greatest races ef the week will occur I
this afternoon, too, opening at 1:30 o'clock, I
a full program of which will be found in j
another column. The sports on the track
will be the most varied and interesting ever
witnessed in a single afternoon in Minne
sota. The entries include the fastest
horses on the grounds and will last all the
afternoon. In the evening a grand
display of fireworks will be set off from
Wabasha hill iv St. Paul, and the day
will be dosed with a brilliancy that will be
in keeping with its events.
The offices, state and municipal, and
many private business houses, will be
closed for tho day, and the city will pour
itself out to the fair grounds In a general
holiday.
The Celebrated Duko Sioap.
Always about the exhibit of the Duke
Soap company in Machinery hall can be
found a crowd of visitors, all eager to learn
more of this widely heralded housewife's
friend, and each lady anxious to carry home
with her for trial the small sample which
the company generously gave away. But
there will be a disappointment in store for
St. Paul people to-day. The demand for
samples has exceeded the supply and there
will be none to be had to-day. However, in
a few days the Duke company will be pre
pared to distribute samples, and will make
arrangements through your grocer or other
wise to allow every lady a sample for trial.
This method of doing business is expensive,
to be sure, but the Duke Soap company
know that they have the best soap in the
market and are confident that all who once
try it will so pronounce it. They fully
warrant their goods in every particular, and
notwithstanding their immense .sales have
not yet had returned a bar of their own
manufacture of soap.
THE STOKY OF SUCCESS.
Brief Sketch of the W. VL'. Kimball
Orjfan Comtmny.
It is a decided relief to pause for a mo
ment from the jam and crush of the
crowds in the main exhibition building at
the state fair and listen to the music of or
gan and piano played by the finest musi
cians of St. Paul and Minneapolis, at the
large space occupied by the W. W. Kiln
ball company. This well-known and ex
tensive concern occupies the fifth and sixth
spaces to the left of the entrance to the
main building with one of the finest dis
plays of pianos, organs and musical instru
ments, supplies and goods of every kind
ever seen in the Northwest. Pianos and
organs of the very finest make are here on
exhibition, and beneath the deft touch of
the accomplished musicians evidence what
they are capable of. The W. W. Kimball
company has been established for thirty
years. By business tact and energy and by
leaving nothing 1 undone to place upon the
market the very best goods that can be
manufactured, it has pressed rapidly to the
front and distanced all competitors, until
now the pianos and organs of the Kimbull
company are admitted by unprejudiced ob
servers to be the finest in the world. The
W. W. Kimball company has peculiar and
unequalled facilities for manufacturing in
struments of superior quality at very reason
able rates.
THE SECRET OP SUCCESS.
Not only have they one of the largest
factories on the continent, with a complete
mechanical equipment and large force of
experienced workmen, but they own saw
mills in Arkansas and their own woodland.
Thus by cutting their own timber on their
own lands and thus procuring raw material at
the lowest possible cost, they pass it through
the entire process of manufacture until
the completed organ or piano is turned out
—every step of the complicated process be
ing taken by their own workmen, under
their own supervision. Their factory at
the corner of Twenty-sixth and Rockwell
streets, Chicago, is the largest in the coun
try and is supplied with the latest mechan
ical devices and working appliances. Hun
dreds of skilled mechanics are here em
ployed, each with his own portion of the
work, until finally beneath the magic touch
of the finisher, the perfect instrument
stands completed. It is gratifying to note
how abundantly the enterprise and superior
workmanship of this house is appreciated.
Notwithstanding the fact that they have the
largest organ works in the world, so great
and continuous is the demand for their in
struments, that they are over 1,000 organs
behind their orders.
SUPEBIOKITT ACKNOWLEDGED.
The superiority of Kimball organs has
been attested on various occasions when it
has come into competition with the make
of other manufacturers. At the Illinois
state fair at Peoria, in 1881, the Kimball
was awarded the first premium as the best
organ. At the Wisconsin state fair, in
ISS3, the Kimball was again awarded the
first premium and gold medal, while
at our own Minnesota state fair,
jin 1883, the Kimball again re
ceived the first premium and silver medal.
I At the Kansas City exposition, in IST3, the
I Kimball, as usual, received the first pre-
I mium and medal. The leading organists
■ the country over are profuse with testimo
| nials and complimentary notices upon the
j superiority of the Kimball. Aside from
I their salesrooms at Chicago the W. W.
I Kimball company has branch offices at St.
Paul, Kansas City, Grand Rapids, Mich.,
and Oshkosh, "Wis., and over four hundred
I agencies throughout the country that carry
almost a complete line of the Kimbafl
goods. The Kimball office at St. Paul is a
favorite resort of musical people. The
general agent is Mr. A. E. Whitney, and
the office No. 97 East Third street. Vis-
itora are always welcome at the works and
office of tho company, mid tho agents at
the fair grounds will bo pleased to show
the instruments to all interested. W. C.
Poniield, 820 Nicollet avenue, is their Min
neapolis representative.
I'erhu[it tbe ITloat Interesting
Exhibit at the state fair, as far as tho
ladies are concerned, is that of the Domes
tic Sewing Machine company, at the east
ern end of the main building. The quality
of the work exhibited is worthy the high
reputation this machine has everywhere at
tained. Prominent among the beautiful
pieces of fancy Work there exhibited is a
| magnificent tapestry picture, entitled,
! Girlish Prank. The subject is familiar,
but the method of delineation Is unique
and striking. Another lino piece of work
is a rich Japanese panel worked in gold
thread on a black background. That
which the ladies most of all admired is a
Japanese bedspread and pillow-shams. It
is worked on water-blue curtain
satin, appliqued with gold surrah silk.
The effect is very rich and strik
ing. Beside these principal pieces,
there are portieres, curtains, screens,
etc., in abundandance and a large variety
of practical work. All these magnificent
display pieces, as well as the practical work,
were done on the ordinary Domestic ma
chine, and every machine sold is capable of
just such work. Skilled operators are con
stantly at work upon the Domestic at the
fair, and the line samples of work turned
out and presented to the lady visitors are
eagerly sought as mementoes of the fair and
the Domestic. The Domestic has long
stood at the head of all sewing machines
and never yet has failed to give perfect
satisfaction. It is perfectly made, has the
best and neatest woodwork, the best set of
attachments, and is best adapted to all
kinds of fancy and practical work. The
Office of the company is at No. Go East
Third street, St. Paul. The agent in Min
neapolis is George Blake, No. 421 Nicollot
avenue.
Tlio Shooting: Tournament.
The shooting of the St. Paul and Minne

There is no Fiver
Display of musical instruments and goods
of all kinds at the state fair than that of W.
J. Dyer & Bro., the well-known music
dealers of the twin cities. Their exhibit is
very tastefully displayed and attracts con
stant attention and favorable comment.
Among other exhibits are several of the
Glier Balsam Wood violins, which have
created such a furore in musical circles of
late, and are justly regarded as the wonder
of the present age. These violins are in
every respect the equal of the genuine old
Cremonas, and are sold at prices that place
them within the reach of all musicians.
Messrs. Dyer & Bro. also have on exhibi
tion musical instruments and supplies of all
kinds. If you wish to buy anything in the
musical line from a jewsharp to an organ,
go to W. J. Dyer & Bro., Nos. 148 and 150
East Third street, St. Paul, and Nos. 408
and 410 Nicollet avenue, Minneapolis.
A Good Place to Eat.
Attendents on the fair show good taste
in their selection of restaurants in which
to eat a square meal at noon. Those who
cater to stare and county appetites ordin
arily, do not consider their customers
human beings, or, at least, that they are
above a very low grade of the genus homo.
They often set out meat that breathes forth
contagion to the world; butter, no part of
which ever saw the inside of a cow, pota
toes that are composed mainly of water,
and bread that needs tools to break it.
There is one notable exception to this,
however, at this state fair, and it is run by
the St. Paul caterer, Eainaley, a man who
has his reputation as a good provider to
sustain, and who runs his place as an ad
vertisment as well as for the immediate
pecuiniary return, which, to judge by the
crowds that visit it. must be pretty large.
He's a good man to see about dinner time.
To the Eye off the Ladles.
The state fair, in all its varied and won
derful display of products, manufactures,
etc., has nothing that will compare in taste,
elegance and attractiveness with the mag
nificent exhibit of dry goods and fancy
goods made by Manuheimer Bros. This
house has long held a reputation reaching
far beyond the limits of . the city in which
it is located and ladies have come from miles ;
around to purchase their goods of Mann
heimer Bros. The richly and tastefully
dressed show windows of this house have
long held an attraction peculiarly their
own. The same deft touch and the
same elegant taste, that secures
this effective window display is noticeable
in- the arrangement of the magnificent ex
hibit at the fair. To attempt to describe
it were useless. Everybody has seen and
admired the handsome show windows on
Third street, and every visitor to the fair
has likewise been attracted by the rich dis
play of Mannheimer Bros.' there. Every
thing shown is rich and elegant. Every
day this exhibit, has been the center of at
traction to the ladies, and hundreds have
visited the store in St Paul, at the south
j east corner of Third and Minnesota streets,
to purchase some of the elegant goods on
exhibition at the fair. Maunheimer Bros.
have always been the leading dry goods
house in the Northwest, and their exhibit
at the state fair is another evidence of their
enterprise and taste.
Winter la Near at Hand,
And "Old Probabilities" assures us that
we shall have an abundance of snow. In
that case, every farmer must provide him
self with a bobsled. There will be no
better opportunity to judge of the merits
of the various bob sleds and select the best
than is now offered by the state fair, and
the universal decision of all farmers is that
the patent bob sled, manufactured by the
Wampach Manufacturing company of Shak
opee Is pre-eminently superior to all others.
Mr. Charles Schneider has a fine exhibit of
these sleds at the state fair, and also of the
Wampach farm wagon that has become so
popular. The Wampach Manufacturing
company is the oldest factory in the state,
and manufactures a full line of farm
wagons, platform wagons and buggies,
patent bob sleds, etc.
Notes.
A most attractive display at th« grounds
Is the Orange Blossom booth of the St. Paul
Roller Mill company. Their display is in a
seperate octagonal building, decked with
flags, and presenting a decidedly tasteful
exterior. On the inside tho incomparable
products of this mill are turned into the
most toothsome baking, and the ladies
should not fail to see this decidedly home
like and novel display. Mr. Kingsland
Smith, the manager of the roller mill, has
displayed his customary enterprise in this
exhibit.
M. J. Holt of England, through whom
President Clark has made several large
purchases of blooded cattle, was at the fair
yesterday, lie took the occasion to present

priately engraved with the head and horns
of a bull.
Secretary Johnson says that with fair
weather to-day and to-morrow the fair will
be closed to-morrow night and the proposi
tion to continue it on Sunday will not re- i
ceive any serious consideration from the
management. ■)

afternoon started the dust, and if it contin
ues to-day, sprinklers will be great necessi
ties.
There were several equestriennes, and,
not to draw too tine a point, several men
on horseback, on the grounds yesterday.

Tim Ladies All Agree
That the exhibit of. crockery in the main,
building at the state fair displayed by;
Craig, Larkin & Smith is the most attrac
tive feature of the fair. This enterprising
firm has a most tasteful and varied display
of crockery of every kind and style. Craig,
Larkin & Smith have so firm a hold upon
the crockery business in St. Paul as to
amount almost to a monopoly. At their
fine establishment, No. 850 Sibley street,
they have the largest and most elegant
stock of crockery ever offered for sale in
St. Paul. Their exhibit at the fair, which
is constantly surrounded by groups of ad
miring ladies, is but a slight sample of the
complete and elegant stock to be found at
the warehouse No. 350 Sibley street.

trip a most enjoyable journey. For full
information apply to C. G. Franklin, pass

THE BOSTON, St. Paul, would say a few words about
Men's Furnishings. Buying these goods in such large
quantities—in most instances direct from the manufac
—enables us to supply our customers with Underwear,
Shirts, Socks, etc., at very nearly the regular wholesale
rates, and in all cases very much below the price asked for
the same goods elsewhere. Our Fall and Winter Under
wear is now in, and ranges in price from a fair garment
at 50 cents to the finest imported ail-silk at $14 a garment
Buckskin Underwear at $9 a Suit. Fancy imported Merino
Underwear, with stockings to match, for S3 a Suit. Scar
let Underwear from 75c to $3. There isn't near space
enough for us to describe a tenth part of our stock oi
Heavy Underwear. All we can say is that we have ever
thing that is worth wearing in Underwear, and guarantee
our prices to be below the market. In short, we are head
quarters on Winter Underwear, as well a3 on all articles
of dress worn by man or boy.
