Great preparations have been made to
render the pyrotechnc display memorable
one. Rockets, candles and bombs, the
smallest of which will be larger than the
largest used in the carnival display last
winter, have been purchased, and four
mortars. weighingkS00 pounds each, have
been secured in New York to be used in
the bombs. The fireworks will
be set off from the Robert street bridge and
they will be sent at such an elevation that
they can be plainly seen from all parts of
the city. Displays of fireworks will be
given on two nights. Which nights have
not yet been decided upon. At the close of
fair week the arches and gas piping will be
taken apart and stored for using next VIM
ter during the carnival. 1t will be one Of
the most beautiful illuminatlons ever wit
messed, and the credit is mainly due to the
efforts of eX-Ald. Van SIyke.

SOME OF THE HORSES.
A good many of the horses that will
compete for purses have been at the stables,
near the tracks, for some time, being
worked by their owners or jockeys. Others
have been brought in from other stables
within day or two, and by Monday morn
ing this part of the fair will be all ready for
the visitors. 1t is with no little interest that
the horsemen who have from time to time,
of late, visited the grounds. have strolled
through the stables where the blooded
beasts are quartered. Among the chief at
fractions is the great gelding, Mike Wilkes,
owned by Abe Robrback of Saltwater.
This horse has been ON the grounds for
about week, and has made practice heat
of within two seconds of his record. His
owner says he can send him in better than
PIG, but only wants first money.

premium for the COW producing the most
butter. 1t is peculiar but sure way the
judges have of getting at this matter. The
cows are driven on the ground and placed
in pen by themselves, where they are fed
on a certain diet. The milk taken from
them is allowed to stand twenty-feur hours
when the cream is taken from 1t and
churned and the butter weighed. In this
way it is decided which is the best butter
producing cow. No method more honest
could have been devised. Mr.. McKinstry

The picturesque village of exhibition
buildings erected upon the splendid 200-acre
park, so generously donated to the state by
Ramsey county, has made gigantic strides
since the last state fair towards developing
into city of stately edifces. There are
now in all some sixty structures, some of
which are of magnificent proportions and
all are shapely and of designs eminently
suitable for the purpose for which they
were erected. On leaving either of the
Twin City railroad stations situated in the
center of the grounds the visitor will find
the main building about 200 yards to the east.
This great hall, every inch of space of
which is taken, contains exhibits of every
conceivable kind III manufactured fabrics
and natural curiosities. In passing through
this hall yesterday it was noticeable that
no Minneapolis firms were represented.
The absence of Minneapolis exhibitors is
doubtless owing to their Exposition engross-
ing all their attention. West from the
main building about seventy yards is Agri.
cultural hall, erected this year. 1t is a
handsome structure ITO by 70 feet, very
light and well adapted to the display of
agricultural and horticultural products.
The center of the building is mainly occu-

Grape.yines from CUTTINGS.

No kind Of wood will more easily grow
from the eye than the grapevine. For
this reason the rapid propagation of new
varieties Is very easy matter. The nur-
serymen use single-eye cuttings in green
houses, and this is II very good way wher.
ever bottom heat can be furnished But all
this trouble and expense are not needed.
provided the right course is taken and
enough buds or eyes left on the cutting.
Even nurserymen do not rely entirely on
the single. eye method. 1t is only used, in
fact, for new varieties when wood Is scarce
and 1t is desirable To increase the vines as
fast as possible Cuttings set in the open
ground should be prepared early in the
spring, leaving two or at most three eyes on
piece. The lower part must be cut off
square at the bulge where bud has formed
Then remove this lowest bud with a sharp
knife so as to make clean cut. Leave the
top eye just at tue surface of the SOIL which
must be packed around the lower part very
closely. Plant in rows three feet apart, and
run the cultivator through once week to
keep weeds down. Plant cuttings six to
eight inches apart in the row, and keep
down weeds with the hoe. If the season
is fairly favorable fourifths of these cut.
tings will make strong rooted plants by the
LIST OF July. There is no need of being dis
couraged about those that NJ this time show
no signs of putting forth shoot Pull one
up and you will find the bottom caloused
and fine, white, thread-like roots from it.
In such cases the shoot Will usually start
from the eye below the surface. Where
the first eye starts and grows the one below
it grows also. In the fall or next spring
one of these Sprouts must be cut off, and
the other trimmed down TO single eye.
BY this method farmers and others can
easily and cheaply supply themselves with
as many grape-vines rs they wish, and of
the best varieties, Four-tfths of all the
grape vine growth of the previous season
must be cut off this fall or next spring, and
it can usually he had for nothing. A few
very hard wooded and close jointed grape
vines do not root easily. Eumelan and
Delaware are samples of these; but II Is
only necessary to take little longer cut
ting and plant at an angle of 40 degrees in
the ground. This will keep the bottom OF
the cutting within reach of the air and
warmth No manure is necessary; in fact
it is positively hurtful. Its heating forces
the buds too rapidly, and may cause the
bottom of the cutting to rot, instead Of put
ting forth rootS.-.iucrirdH CHtiratJr
