Extinc, Species of Plants.

The number Of species Of plants
which have become extinct is very
large, and yet generic groups rarely
dieout. ComparatiVeresearches show
that much the greater proportion of
plants whose remains have been pre-
served in fossil condition from
earlier geologic periods belong to the
genera which are represented by
plants now living, although many Of
these existing plants differ specifcal-
" from the earlier ones. From this
It seems that new types are outgrow-
ing the old ones constantly and take
their place in the general scheme of
life.

profs. Shaw and Carlyle Entertain
the Crowd.

During the entertainment of Friday
Prof. Shaw, Prof. Carlyle and Prof.
H. M. Reynolds, of the st. Anthony
experimental station, and the latter
secretary of the State Board of Health,
visited the grounds, and they were
urged by the farmers present to make
few brief remarks on their different
lines of work at the Experimental
station. Prof. Shaw was the first to
speak to the audience, he addressing
them from the grand stand. He spoke
of the magnificent country We we're
residing in, the wonderful soil, and he
longed for time when the gospel of
better agriculture will be preached
over the land. He approved of dairy
ing in every form, but thought that the
dairy should not drive out the beef
animal, and said that for both milk
and beef the grade Shorthorn class

It helps the stomach digest its food,
and digested food is the strength max

Strong muscles, strong body, strong

COFFEE AND BISCUITS.

The booth of Southwick & Angel,
on the grounds, was one of the central
attractions during the last two days of
the show. 1t was occupied by that
firm in its style as promoter Of the
coffee industry of Sprague, Warner &
Go. of Chicago, which concern handles
the coffees cleaned by the great French
cleaning process. and also by Ring &
Go. in promoting their shoe business.
The exhibit of the former concern
was complete from the coffee and
spice standpoint. On one side was a
stand pyramid shape filled with
several brands Of canned coffees, bak-
ing powders and spices ST. and So
cent cans of coffees and three differ
ent sized cans of baking powders. On
the other side was stand of coffees
and teas in bulk and paper packages.
They we're being inspected continu-
ously.
But it was the picture and doings
under the canvass that pleased the
crowd. A gasoline stove, on which
sat huge pot of Sprague, Warner &
Co.'S specially cleaned French coffee
was boiling. Biscuits were piled up
several feet high on the table, and
these, with the coffee, we're served out
free of charge to the big crowd that
passed that way by Miss Fagot, pc
tite and charming young French lady
sent all the way from Chicago to SUI
perintend the making of the coffee
and catering to the crowd. There
we're many congratulations over the
quality of the coffee, in its bean shape
and transformed to the liquid under
the direction of Miss Fagot. AS re-
suit Sprague, Warner & Co. and
Southwick & Angel made big hit
with the use of hundred pounds or
more of coffee.
Miss Fagot served coffee, biscuit
and olives to the members of Charity
Chapter No. IS, Order of the Eastern
Star, last Wednesday evening and to
the patrons of Southwick & Angel,
Saturday. As on the fair grounds she
made the coffee and biscuits on the
spot, the latter in promotion of Per-
lection Baking powder. The flour used
in the biscuits was furnished by the
Redwood Roller mills and the butter
hv the Redwood creamery.

CHICAGO REPORT.

The bears have no success il their
efforts to depreciate the value of wheat,
the reactions thus far having been
spasmodic with sharp upturn in ev-
cry instance, according to our Chicago
report Of Sept. 20.
The history Of the past month is that
whenever wheat has been beaten
down to the vicinity OF the 80 cent
mark the resultant buying has been of
such character as toquickly take the
market away from the selling element
and force them to buy back at good
advance the wheat they sold. It was
SO last Saturday when wheat fell to 80
on non support by its friends, which
encouraged short sales. The rebound
was to s2a. To-day there was q de-
termined effort to break the price, and
under these conditions it broke to 9lk.
Then buying orders came into the
market and they together with reports
of large acceptances by Europe, sent
the quotations to 93a in no time.
This inherent strength of wheat
should be most gratifying to the farm
or. Heretofore be has been compelled
to accept price range of from SO to
IS cents in this market, but now the
minimum value seems to be 80 cents,
with the average range for the last
thirty days several cents above that
price. The statements made in this
correspondence in regard to the gen.
eral situation as evidenced by reports
from this country and abroad to
Schwartz, Drupee & Co. have been
more than fulfilled. Wheat having
risen from IS cents to $1.OO and hold
ing firm above 80 cents since the top
was reached.
In regard to the present situation in
corn it may be said that the recent de-
cline was due far more to liquidation
by weak holders than any change in
the statistical position of the grain.
Best estimates are that the crop will
not exceed 1,75O,OOO bu., while the
government figures were 2O0,OOO,OOO
bu. higher. The relative positions Of
wheat and corn are such that close OBJ.
observers figure corn too low just now.
Provisions recovered quickly from
the yellow fever scare, and with the
excellent cash demand now existing it
is plain that vast amount of money
must be paid out in the west for its
products of this sort as we'll as for
wheat and corn. That the present
excellent prices are not believed to be
fictitius or temporary is shown in the
continued advance in the securities of
western roads. Northwestern, Bur-
lington, st. Paul and Rock Island
have gone steadily upward, more than
meeting the expectations of their
friends, and it is not often that Wall
Street is SO thoroughly in accord with
the west on matter of such great i'm
portance. Undoubtedly the wheat
acreage of the world will be increased
during the next year, and with good
crops this will lead to lower prices, but
as to the present supply of breadstuffs
the outlook is most hopeful.

ures to tame grass without the use of
the pillow, Mr.. Gilfllan having taken
blue grass and scattered it where the
ground was bare regardless of the
seasons. He thought that the turning
of manure into ashes was a crime
agsinst Nature and Natures God and
pointed to the heaps Of manure around
this city that was being burned, whore
it might, as Mr.. Gilfllan was doing,
be turned into frst-class fertilizer.
He spoke of sheep husbandry and
said that while the two pens of sheep
seen by him on the grounds we're of
the best he was greatly, deeply disap-
pointed over not seeing many more
pens of sheep. He thought that the
sheep raised in this country should be
superior to range sheep. He said that
at the Experimental station SO sheep
we're being raised on 10 acres of land,
and from the same tract besides, the
station cut eight tons of dried fodder
and eight of green, and there was still
enough left on the tract to carry the
sheep into November. Prof. Shaw in
closing, called the attention of wives
and daughters of the farmers to the
new ladies' dormitory to be opened at
the station in October where women
and girls are to be taught the art of
cooking, making garments and keep
ing house. i,
Prof. w. L. Carlyle, the dairy lect-
urer, who is favorite with Redwood
county dairy people, spoke between
heats of the races, and was in direct
opposition to Prof. Shaw on the ques-
ton of dairy COW. He would stand
by the special purpose dairy COW, and
said that from it Minnesota now holds
the proud position in America and
foreign marts of being the producer
of the best dairy butter in the world.
He said that he would always continue
to advocate the special purpose COW
against the general purpose, and said
that if people wanted beef it would be
we'll to go to the Angus and other
breeds. Prof. Carlyle said that he
would not keep COW that would not
give ESQ pounds of butter in a year,
and then told the farmers that all
COWS should be bred so as to come in
between this time and Nov. LIST, so
that their product would command
the highest value. He said that it had
been costing 13 cents per pound to
make butter-a price equal to its sum-
mer value. He thought butter should
be produced more cheaply and alvis-
ed farmers to study feeding. He also
advised the putting in of individual
separators, whereby the cream could
be taken daily from the fresh milk,
the skinned milk fed sweet to the
calves and hogs, and every three days
the cream taken into the creamery.
This system was being carried on in
the Red River Valley with great sue
cess, patrons saving very much time.
Prof. Reynolds did not speak, owing
to the lateness of the hour, and de-
