of the fairs held here.


Of the fairs held here.
The exhibit of farm machinery and
agricultural implements is larger than
ever, more conveniently located, and we'll
worth half an hours study to secure in
formation. The experts and exhibitors
are there to explain.
The city pigeon shooters are expecting
to have a good time. There will be
three contestants from jamestown, three
from Bismarck, six from Fargo. two
from Valley City and one from Sanborn.
The Winchester repeating shotgun prize
is neat trophy for the best man. There
may be other shots in the state who will
take part and surprise the cracks at re-
suits.
r. W. Nam OF Cando, North Dakota,
one of the big farmers OF Towner county,
is at the fair with large assortment Of
potatoes Cf the old standard and new
varieties. In addition to his farming
Mr.. Main has gone into the seed potatoe
business extensively and is working up a
good demand for the best tubers grown
in the country. He says that Towner
county has the best crop Of It's history
this year and that the lowest wheat
yield is 25 bushels and Highest reported
Az. His own farm averaged IS bushels
wheat, which ls about what the entire
county will run. Oats will 60 GO to IS
and barley 35, and for 60 miles north the
crop is still better. Farmers are buying
lumber and storing their gram and not
until they are forced to will they part
with the bulk of it at present prices.
The elevators, he says, are getting very
little wheat now. Mr.. Main was for
merly from Pike county Illinois, one of
the garden spots OF the state, but says
his family is 80 we'll satisfied with the
healthful climate of North Dakota and
with the advantages of Towner county
that no inducement would cause them
to return. His. brother George Main
has been county auditor for several
terms ard has just completed a 10000
bushel elevator to buy grain as an indi-
vidual buyer. He is one of Towners
popular residents.

W. F. Dodge of Oakes, has the larg-
est display Of poultry yet entered from q

single individual. Mr.. Dodge was an
exhibitor at the fair last year, and sold
several blooded chickens to farmers who
understand the benefits of new blood in
the hen yard, in the increased size of
fowls and better laying. This year Mr.
Dodge's exhibit is bigger than last. he
| has brought several coops of fancy birds
for the children to look at. They con-
sist of three. English barbs, buff, black
and white. A coop of Crested Barbs is
also shown and anyone desiring to add
pigeons to the farm yard inha bitants
could do no better than get pair or two
Of these handsome birds. A pair of Red
Game Bantam is also shown-the smart
est bird Of oil the chicken family. The
pride of the exhibit, however, is the big
Buff Cochins, the cock weighing 1913
pounds. The coop of Light Brahmas
shows the most serviceable chicken for
the North Dakota farm. They lay we'll in
winter and stand cold without difficulty.
A coop Of Brown Leghorns, also great
layers is shown. Plymouth Rocks and
| Silver Laced Wyandottes are also exhlb-
tied. The latter fowl is a great broiler,
| having a large, full meated breast and is
fast grower. 1t is great favorite IN
| the farm yards of those who are &C.
qusinted with the advantages the breed
have. No farmer ought to let the old
stock OF poultry remain long on his
place when for small sum fresh new
blood can be had IN improved breeds
that will more than pay for the invest
ment.
The Nichols Bros, of Cakes, also have
several exhibits of poultry including
pair of magnificent Bronze Turkeys and
Plymouth Rock chickens. One of the
turkeys will weigh 40 pounds.
In addition to the poultry mentioned
heretofore there are several other exhib-
itors with fowl of different breeds. j.
Bertel. the chicken fancier of the Glad
stone. has pair of Wyandottes, White
Leghorns, Rose Comb Brown Legborns
and Indian Games.
Will Mcdonald of jamestown, exhibits
guinea hens and game bantHms.
Elmer Strong OF Pingree, has some
Pekln ducks, guinea fowls and Light
Brahmas.
The chicken EXHIBIT on the whole ls a
good one, and the interest IN improved
breeds can not help but be increased on
inspection of the fine specimens shown.
Geo. Eager is superintendent OF this
department.
SHEEP.
There Is an interesting sheep display.
Chas. Clark, OF Eldridge, has prize
buck, Shropshire, that took Mime

a direct offspring of the Worlds fair

Occasions When the Sun Became a Black
 and Deadened Orb.
 The ancient historians mention sew eral instances of the sun ''going out" or failing to shine and give forth its usual amount of heat and light for pe- riods of time varying in length from three hours to several months. Accord ing to Plutarch, the year A B. c. was one in which the sun was weak and pale" for a period approximating II months.
 The Portuguese historians record Several months of diminished sum- light" in the year 934 A. D., and, ac- cording to Humboldt, this uncanny pe- riod ended with strange and startling sky phenomena, such as loud atmos- pherio explosions, rifts in the vaulted canopy of blue above and i'll divers other rare and unaccountable freaks. !" h the year 1O91, on Sept 29 (see Humboldt's ''Cosmos''), the sun turned suddenly black and remained so for three hours and did not regain its normal condition for several days According to the noted Helmnth's Solar Energy, the days or seeming inactivity on ti-a nart of the

sun, the days following tho sudden blackening of the great orb were noted for a peculiar greenish tinge and arc marked in old Spanish, French and Ital- ian records as "the days of the green sun. , February, HOG A. D., is noted in the annals of marvellous phenomena as month in which there were several days that "the sun appeared dead and black, like great circular cinder float ing in the sky"
 "On the last day of February, 1906, says Cortevza, an old Spanish writer on astronomy, astrology and kindred sub jects, ''the sun appeared to suddenly go out, causing a darkness over the country for about six hours. In 1241 the Euro pean countries experienced another siege of supernatural darkness, which the superstitious writers of that time attrib- uted to God s displeasure over the result of the great battle of Liegnitz. -St- Louis Republic.

Good, old fashioned brown bread is the proper accompaniment for baked beans. Here is q famous recipe for Bos- ton brown bread of the proper kind: One cup of rye or graham four, cup of white flour, 3 cups of Indian meal, a cup of molwsses (scant), 3 teaspoonfuls soda, one-half teaspoonful salt, cup of sour milk and E or 21a cups water Steam for three hours and then dry in the oven for half an hour.

Baked Beans and Brown Bread.

In number of Now England towns the local baker bakes beans for half tho town Saturday nights the pots arc taken to the bakeshop, where the baker marks each one with the initials of the owner and places them in his big oven. Next morning the owners call for their beans and pay tho charge of 10 cents and invest 10 more ill brown bread. It is an amusing sight on a Sunday morn ing to see a line of citizens going from the bakeshop to their homes. each with bean pot on one arm and loaf of brown bread on the otlor.
