CROWDS COMING IN.
Some of the Railroads Ran in Spe-
ciaI Trains.

ciaI Trains:
Nearly every train which reached the
city brought it's quota of visitors, and
in several instances it was found adj
visable to send in special trains to ac-
commodate the crowds of pleasure
seekers. The Omaha road sent up a
special of ten coaches from Pipestone
and vicinity, and the people which fill
ed them will remain in ST. Paul until
Thursday. A second special came in
on the Iowa & Minnesota division Of
the Milwaukee, bringing residents from
Faribault, Austin, Mortified and Owa-
tonna, While the regular train on the
river division was loaded with fair
Soers from Lake City, Red Wing, Has
tings and other Milwaukee road towns.
The Minneapolis & st. Louis trains
from Mankato, Albert Lea and that vi
cinity brought up good representa-
ton, while number of passengers

cure competent judges from different
parts of the state to pass upon the

one of the most important features of
the fair and requires the utmost care
to secure unprecedented Judges. By ask

Cooley expects to have the best people

SECURE FLOORING.

Der, sometimes making the first course
of hemlock, and theupper one of spruce,
which bears the wear of wagons and
horses better. For a wagon house,
where a nice floor is required, the upper
course may be made of yellow pine. It
is also the best way to lay a floorin mows
or bays where hay is to be stored over
etables or wagons, as it is more impervi-
GUS to dust and dirt than are matched
boards, and is also stiff ard strong.
Floors intended to sustain heavy ma
chinery, such as hay presses or thrash
ing machines, it has formerly been the
custom to make of three-inch plank,
both edges heing grooved so that o
tongue could be laid in where the edges
Joined. This method is expensive and
does not make as good floor as is con-
structed by using three thicknesses o.
lumber, laying the middle course di-
agonally and being careful to lay the
upper course so that it shall break
joints over the lower course. BY this
means the floor is like one solid piece
of lumber, which will not spring or
warp out of place.-American Agricul-

ABOUT REGISTRATION.
Trotting Horse Breeders Have Been To

Trotting Horse Breeders Have Been Too
Careless About 1t.
The general and universal depression
in the trotting horse business during
the last three years has bred a great
deal of inexcusable carelessness on the
part of breeders and owners of stations
bearing on the subject of establishing
and verifying pedigrees, says the
Western Horseman. AS is we'll known,
under the ruling of the Register asso
citation an animal cannot be registered
without certificate from the owner Of
the sire, or his accredited agent, and
also certificate from the owner of the
dam at the time she was bred. During
recent years all owners have been more
or less recreant about registering, and
many standard but unregistered ami.
mails have changed hands, and many
who bred standard mares to standard
sires have neglected to have their hold.

An opening is left from the fire box
(B) SO that the heat and smoke will
enter the flue and pass around the
boiler before reaching the chimney.
AS will be perceived, this arrangement
makes the best possible use of the fire,
so that very little fuel will do great
deal of work.
1t is better, as rule, to have a cook
ing apparatus like this in house. The
boiler should not hold less than 20 gall
Ions, and for large flocks of poultry, and
especially where the pigs are to have
the benefit of it, it should hold 30 or 40
gallons.
The contents of boiler set in brick,
as we have described, will simmer and
cook for several hours after the fire is
out and keep warm for whole day and
night.-Farm Journal.

POULTRY PARASITES.
They Can Be Destroyed by Fumigating
the Hen House Properly.


If henhousc is fumigated with sui
phur properly, this is the surest method
Of killing lice, as well as all kinds of
germs, such as cholera and roup.
In order to make sure that nothing
can live, while the sulphur is burning
the house must be made as tight as pos
sible. This is best done by FASTING
strips of wrapping paper along the case
ment of the windows, around the slides
and on any other cracks that can be
found. If the joist does not fit closely,
I'LL in the space with pieces of twisted
newspapers. All this could be done
with profit for the sake of the warmth
gained, even if you do not wish to fumi-
gate. Be sure the ventilators are Sc.
curely closed. and that the door you
leave by fits snugly.
For a henhouse. large enough for 100
hens, five pounds of common stick sui
phur Is sufficient. Break this up in
pieces of about an inch square. put it
into two iron or tin vessels that do not
leak. Place these on the floor of the hem
house, one at each end: pour over the
sulphur somewhat less than pint Of
alcohol-wood alcohol is much cheaper
than the pure alcohol and just as good
for this purpose. Quickly touch a
match to this before the alcohol has
time to evaporate; close the door and
leave the lice to their fate.
In short time the air should be SO
thick that when looking through the
window you cannot see over two feet.
Leave the henhouse shut up for couple
of hours; then open the doors and ven
tilate, and in an hour the atmosphere
will be perfectly livable.
Using alcohol and sulphur is much
cheaper and better than buying sulphur
candles, which cost a ridiculous sum
and burn SO slowly that they are little
better than useless.-M. p. Harris, in
Country Gentleman.
