Minneapolis Fair.

The coming annual Minnesota
Agricultural and Mechanical Asso-
citation exposition, commonly styled
.'Bill Kings great show to he
held in Minneapolis from September
9Th to 18th inclusive, will certainly
eclipse anything of the kind ever
Witnessed in the Northwest.
The Minneapolis Tribune says it
will be the greatest effort in the life
of Col. W. S. King, and he is heartily
seconded by corps of able and en- :
ergetic assistants. The preparations
being made on such extensive aud
broad gauge plans that, coupled with
the previous successes of this asso-
citation, it cannot help but attract
thousands exhibitors and tens of
thousands of visitors. The Fair of
1880 is already an assured success,
and new buildings are now being
erected to accommodate the army Of
exhibitors that have applied for
space. The premium list is the
most liberal that has so far come
under our observation this season.
In the cattle department., the class
premiums amount to $1,000, divided
equally among Herefords, Jerseys,
Short-horns and Holsteins. There
is also sweepstake prize of $3.50,
divided into first and second pre-
miums for best herd, consisting of
one bull and four COWS, of any age
or breed. Over 5000 is offered for
fat cattle. The handsome sum of
$1,000 is divided equally between
Clydesdale and Percheron Norman
horses, besides the sweepstakes for
best stallion with five colts of either
sex, under three years old, $1OO to
first and $50 to second. About
$500 IS divided between trotters and
horses of all work, with an addition
al sweepstakes of $3.50.
Liberal premiums are also offered
III the dairy department class and
for the differnt herds of sheep and
swine.
In addition to the unequal eXhi-
bition of live stock, agricultural
and mechanical products and fine
arts, the great racing meeting of the
year will be given by the association,
a prominent feature Of which will
be the great equestrienne contest of
Miss Belle Cook ofCalifornia, and
Miss Emma Jewett of Minnesota,
in their twenty mile race tor a purse
Of $4,000. Efforts are also being
made to have Maud S. and st. Jul
len present. Each Of the two trot-
tiers above named made a mile in
2:114 at Rochester, N. Y, last
Thursday, and they alone will at
tract thousands Of people.

The Information of Animals.

MOST beasts do not hibernate, be-
cause they have the power of keeping
up uniform body-temperature in spite
of the cold of winter. In the dormouse,
marmot, and many allied forms, how
ever, as also in the hedgehog and in
bats, we do find this winter sleep to
occur. The lower animals, such as rep
tiles, frogs, and efts, many fishes, spi-
ders, shell-fsh and worms, also enter
into this state; while yet lower creatures.
such as infusoria and rhizopods, protect
themselves by excreting, and forming q
structureless, spheroidal coat or "cyst. "
In preparing to hibernate, animals seek
secluded and sheltered hooks, or burrow
in the dry ground or in mud, or conceal
themselves in moss or beneath the bark
of trees. There they fall into a sleep
(either uninterrupted or interrupted by
intervals of activity which endures
more or less according to latitude and
consequent length of winter. During
this sleep the body-heat of warm-blooded
animals falls greatly, as respiration and
circulation take place very gently and
slowly. The nutrition of the body is
also effected very slowly, the fat of tho
body generally considerable at the
commencement of hibernation) being
used up in the process, unless oc-
casional awaking has given an
opportunity for feeding. An annual
period of repose, analogous to hiberna-
ton, also takes place during the dry
season in many tropical animals-as in
many reptiles, frogs, and fishes-e. g.,
Lepidosiren. The tanrce (Centetes) of
Madagascar, which has superficial re-
semblancc to the hog, also rcsem-
bles it as to its annual torpor, and Ger
tain lemuroids '(of the genus Cheirog-
aleus) which inhabit the same island,
seem also to prepare for the torpor OF
the dry season by storing up quantity of
fat in their tails, which, it is alleged, dis
appears by the time that the period if
activity has returned. Parallel with the
periodic rcpose of animals is the winter
inactivity of very many plants which

es of life come almost to a stand still, to
be renewed with a rapidity and sudden
ness not inaptly termed s'burst of veg

cording to the species. The annual
torpor of animals is prolongation for
weeks or for months of that process, so
familiar yet so mysterious, called sleep.
During it the functions of life are slack
ened in their operations, and the re-
freshment which sleep produces is not
due to any accelerated nutrition, but to
a temporary cessation of the wear and
tear of activity.-St. G. Mozart, IL. Con.

Washington Letter.
From our Regular Correspondent

Washington, D. c., Aug. 7th, 1880.
If the enthusiasm created here by
the recent Republican conference in
New York extend through the
country, the campaign will receive
a powerful impulse. # Republicans
felt any doubts before, they are laid
aside now. Harmony is assured
and complete. Republicans of all
kinds, Independents, Liberals and
Stallwerts met at the conference,
each impressed with the maxim that
''United, we stand, divided we fall .
and they made the Union complete.
The very fact that such a large
number Of leaders could be gathered
from all parts Of the land three
months before a Presidential cleo
ton to carefully consider the best
means of electins a candidate, it is
in itself, a remarkable demonstration
of the unselfsh enthusiasm which
animates all sections Of the party,
and is splendid augury Of success.

The total acreage in wheat for

els.
The average yield per acre for the
State of the other principal cereals
was for 1868: Oats, $685. bushels;
corn, 1896 bushels; and barley, "a.
80 bushels.
The increase in the acreage in
wheat in 1880 over 1879 is 2OO,S04
acres, or 7.27 per cent.
The full acreage in wheat in 1880,
as reported below, is 2, 1858, 1926 acres;
and from the reports SO far received,
as we'll from official as from other
sources, the average yield per acre
at the present outlook is certainly
not less than Is bushels, which, ac-
cording to the reported acreage,
gives the result to be Al 449, 875
bushels.
The Commissioner states that the
returns are very incomplete, and ex-
presses the opinion that at least 20
per cent. should be added to the to-
tai yield, which would make the
wheat crop of Minnesota, in 1879,
1851. $50 bushels. In the same
manner the Commissioner estimates
that the crop now being harvested
in Minnesota, will not fall short of
So, 339, $50 bushels, The estimate
would seem to be rather Il generous

The yield of other cereals for 1879
was as follows Oats, 2O,623,175
bushels; corn, 2,S92,563 bushels;
barley, 2,413 100 bushels. The in.
crease in the acreage of these crops
for 1880 is: Oats, 21.33 per cent,
corn 1895 per cent, and barley 49,
