MINNESOTA State :FAIR,
Located at It's Permanent
Home, It Becomes a
Great Success.
Some of the Notable Exhibits
which the Recent EXPOSE
ton Called Forth.

Never was there better illustration
of the foresight of the people of St.
Paul, and the wisdom of the, liberality
of the state legislature, than in the re-
cent Minnesota State Fair. The city of
St. Paul, having, with rare generosity
donated the State Fair association 200
acres of ground fully worth 5000, 900,
the state with equally commendable
liberality, contributed 100000 more
for the erection OF buildings. The re-
suit was to give the Minnesota State
Fair a beautiful and permanent home,
and every resident of the state who WIS.,
tied the recent exhibition, could not but
rejoice at the splendid results already
secured. There is, of course, much
yet to be done, but the ground work has
been laid for the finest fair grounds in
the entire country. Its buildings are of
a substantial, attractive and permanent
character. The grounds are ample for
all time and the means of reaching
them easy and expeditions. The result
was that in spite of the fact that there
were four rainy days out of the eli ht
the exhibition was open, the fair was a
success fact due entirely to the per-
manency of the institution. Other
states are looking at Minnesota with
envy and talking of following hel ex-
ample.
Of course, there was 80 much to be
seen that was good, it is difficult to dis
criminate, and we shall only attempt to
note few of the exhibits

American VI. Indian Wheat.

Consul General Cramer, of Berne,
Switzerland, in a recent report to the
Government on the European market
for American wheat, points out the
danger of Indian wheat displacing our
products unless extra exertions are
made by our wheat growers to main
tain their supremacy. He says: In
1881 there was total export of wheat
from the United States to Europe of
about 1853, 575, 600 bushels, of which 49,
55O,921 bushels were taken by England
alone.
The price of American wheat being
gradually increased, that country
looked elsewhere for supply of this
article. One of the countries the Eng
lish people looked to was East India,
and not in vain, for there was exported
from that country to Europe, mostly
to England, the following amounts:
In 187S-'79, 1850, 1875 bushels; 1879-'80.
4, O9S, 800 bushels; 1880 '81, 1886, 166
bushels; 18Sl-'82, S7,O78,57O bushels.

Americas First Railroad.

In the course of a paper read before
the Franklin Institute, bearing the
title, Transportation Facilities OF the
Past and Present. Mr.. Barnett LIE Van
corrects the commonly received state
mcnt that the Granite railroad, built
at Quincy, Mass, in 1927, by Grid]ey
Bryant, for transporting stone for the
Bunker Hill Monument from the gran
tie quarries of Quincy, was the first
railroad built in the United States.
On this point he presents interesting
testimony to prove that, far from being
the first, the Granite railroad was real
ly only the fourth rondicr of preced-
ence in the United States. We quote
from that portion of the paper relating
to the subject as follows
Railroads were also first introduced
IN Pennsylvania. In September, 1909,
the first experimental track in the
United States was laid out by John
Thompson (the father of John Edgar
Thompson, who was afterward the
President of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company, Civil Engineer of
Delaware county, Pa, and construct
ed under his direction by Somerville, a
Scotch millwright, for Thomas Leipcr,
of Philadelphia. 1t was 1870 feet in length
and graded u inches to the yard. The
gauge was four feet, and the sleepers
eight feet apart. The experiment with
loaded car was SO successful that
Leiperin the same year caused the
first practical railroad in the United
States to be constructed for the trans
portation of stone from his quarries on
Crum Creek to his landing on Ridley
Creek. in Delaware county, Pa, dis
lance of about one mile. 1t continued
in use for nineteen years. Some of the
original foundations, consisting of rock
in which holes were drilled and after
ward plugged with wood to receive the
spikes for holding the sleepers in
place, may be seen to this day. p

Miss ParlOa on Cruel.

Miss Parloa is delivering a course of
lectures on the subject, GLOW to Cook
for Patients,'' before the school for
trained nurses at the Charity Hospital
on Blackwell's Island. In one of her
lectures she gave instructions for
making Cruel. ITO make flour Cruel
properly she said, ''you must use one
quart of milk, three tablespoonful
of flour, and a teaspoonful of salt.
Pour all the milk except cupful into
a double boiler. Mix the flour with
the milk you reserved and stir it into
the boiling milk and let it cook thirty
minutes, putting in the salt ten min
utes before it is done. The longer milk
cooks the more laxative it is. If you
wish to make the Cruel especially
nutritious cook half-cupful of raisins
cut in two in the milk during the entire
time. This drink is very stimulating,
and is often given in place of wine to
patients. In Indian meal grlel the
meal must always be we'll cooked, an
hour or two being usually required.
But it is better to use the very fine
meal now in use rather than that milled
by the old process, and always, when
needed quickly, put it into boiling
water at once. To make this cruel
take one quart of boiling water, two
tablespoonful of Indian meal, one
tablespoonful of -four, one teaspoon
full of salt; mix the meal, ETC., with a
half-cup of cold water and pour into
boiler. Stir while it is cooking and
cook not less than thirty minutes.
Always keep the saucepan covered. y
Miss Parloa advised the nurses not to
trust to guess-work, but always
measure out carefully. There were
some born cooks who always came out
right, but they were scarce. She then
took up the subject of potatoes, saying
that few people knew how to boil
potatoes or bake them properly.
Thirty minutes to boil and forty-tive
minutes to bake, was the rule. pare
them if to boil,'' said she. ':Put them
in boiling water which shall just cover
them. When done pour off every drop
of water, put towel over the kettle,
for putting the cover on would spoil

to work on the farm much longer than
the regulation ten-hour system for city
laborers. In the country however,
this working overtime is generally off
set by days when storms make out
door work impossible. Generally a
reasonable spirit on both sides will
secure satisfactory results to both
parties. IF hard-working, faithful
man is willing to work one or two
hours later III getting in grain or hay,
the farmer can we'll afford to paw him
something extra for the overtime

pay faithful help little more than the
agreed price to secure the extra work
which such payment will generally
insure.
California farmers show peculiar
fertility of resource in dealing with
bugs and insects. A new and in
genious way of settling with the
coddling moth, the insect that puts
worms into all the apples and pears,
has just been discovered. When the
insect turns into a grub it crawls up
the trunk of the tree, looking for some
convenient aperture in which to deposit
its eggs. A piece of tin perforated
with small holes, is fastened around the
trunk of the tree by the willy farmer,
and the worm thinks that one of the
oritices offers a fine home for his
family, and enters without question.
But after going in it increases so
much in bulk that it cannot get out,
and falls an easy prey to the farmer S
hired man.

Improving on His Wife's Method.

Buffalo Courier: There is in this CITY
ayoung Benedict who is so fortunate
as to be welded to lady of rare
beauty and attractiveness. Now this
young Benedict had in all respects
proved a model husband and had ac-
quilted himself so faithfully on all oc-
casions that his wife had confidence in
him, and willingly intrusted the most
sacred and important duties to his
charge. So fully, indeed, she trust
him that Wednesday last she started
for the country to have weeks visit
with a friend, and the last words to
him before starting having consigned
the baby to the tender mercies of the
nurse-were: "Georgie, promise me to
take good care of Fido. Don't let him
overeat himself, and, above all, battle
him regularly. You'll find the bath
tub in the parlor, the towels are in the
linen-prcss, and his comb and brushes
are in the left-hand corner of my right
hand bureau drawer, and the cologne
is on the shelf above, And be sure
when you've finished to wrap in his
blanket and put him in the sunshine to
dry, and if he c-c-catches cold telegraph
to me- So saying she printed one
last impassioned kiss on Fido's nose,
tearfully delivered him to her hus-
bands arms, stepped into the carriage
and was gone. Thursday and Friday
George implicitly carried out the part
ing instructions of his absent wife He
bathed Fido, cologned Fido, brushed,
combed, and dried Fido. But yester-
day morning when the scribe passed
by their residence he heard wild yelp-
ings and ki-yi-ing proceeding from the
yard. Stepping up to the fence, he
looked over and saw an unusually fat
pug, now tumbling on the ground, now
turning somersets in the air and franti-
cally yelping the while. Some few
yards off stood George with his hands
in his pockets and smile of sweet con-
tentment on his face. He was bathing
Fido. He had chained him to a posi-
and turned the hose on him.

to Europe is annually increasing. The
same is the case as to the export of
wheat from Southern Russia. It has
been estimated by competent authority
that India will soon be, if it is not al
ready, able to export annually about
O,0O0, 900 bushels of wheat.
The cost of producing wheat in India
(although in rather primitive method)
is estimated to be from 8 to cents per
bushel. while in Dakota it is estimated
10 be 18 to 19s cents.
The cost of transportation from Bonn
bay to England is calculated to be
about ~ cents per bushel, and from
Kurrachee cents more. This calcula-
ton was made before the Suez canal
dues had been reduced, which were
rather high, and there is probability
that they will be entirely abolished on
wheat. The government of India con-
templates constructing a railroad net
of about $1,000 miles, at from 3 to 81
per cent. interest on the money re-
quired. In England and India grain
elevators and grain cars are being con.
structed to facilitate transportation,
while p]oughs specially adapted for
Indian soil are made in and shipped
from England to India. All this will
cheaper the production and transpor-
tation of wheat for the European
market. OF course, Switzerland will
derive the same benefits therefrom as
England.
The differences to be drawn from all
this are obvious. India wheat will be-
come, or is already. strong competi-
tor with American wheat in the mark
cts of Europe.
South America and Australia are
also booming up as competitors with
the United States in the wheat mar
kets of the world. They were formerly
our customers in this respect, while at
present they are expected to have a
surplus of wheat of about 25.OOO,OO0
bushels. Here is another: From Sep
TENDER l, 1888, to January 26, 1884,
the total export of wheat from the
