leaving it open FIR the smaller breed

county exhibits have been made even
more generous than heretofore, and
for farmers individual exhibits there
are new premiums. The same is true
OF poultry, sheep, swine, and other
classes. The Minnesota State Fair
always pays its premiums promptly
and is especially liberal in it's treat

that the revised premium list for 1903
will lead to much larger exhibits and
that there will be more general par

than ever before. Premium lists NAV

Southern Minnesota residents who

The Deadly Cora Shredder.

The Chicago Tribune says that no
instrument ever coutrived for reduc.
ing farm work to q science has been
attended in its operation by such
horrors of accident to human flesh as
mark the trail of the corn shredder
through the land. The statement is
emphasized by the publication of q
list of twenty victims who have beeu
manned in three or four counties of
Illinois, in a brief space of time.
How it is set forth as follows:
The machine which is responsible
for so many cripples is an interesting
thing in its construction. Great
effort is being made to minimize the
danger by means of safety levers and
similar attachment, and with con
siderable success. The corn is fed
through rollers behind which are the
knives which tear it apart, set on
head and revolving with lightning
rapidity. An ear lodges in the roller
and the man who is feeding attempts
to dislodge it. He thrusts his hand
too far aud it is drawn through the
rollers ia a twinkle and against the
tearing slicing knives. The luckless
feeder is fortunate to jerk his ON
away minus few fingers.
Most of the accidents are undoubt-
eddy due to carelessness. It is point
ed out that the veteran operator goes
unscratched, and that it is the callow
farmer youth, up against the machine
for the first time who furnishes q case
for the nearest surgeon. However
that may be, many veteran appears
ia the list of the injured. Familiarity
breeds contempt, and sooner or later
it is painfully impressed on him that
the corn shred der is a thing never to
be held in contempt.

IN NEW ENGLAND,

strong Testimony From New Ham,
shire Paper.
The great success Of the grange han
been primarily due to the strong edu-
cat1onal policy that has prevailed.
Those in charge of it's affairs have re-
garded the educational feature as the
feature Of the greatest value and have
strengthened the Order by adding to
the intelligence of it's members Wheth-,
er this has been attempted throughs
well arranged literary exercises,
through the rendition of ritual work or
through course of study and reading
at home under grange auspices. the re-
suit has been the same and noticeable
In the people connected with any live
grange.
In no less than four of the New Eng
land states the grange has organized
and conducts mutual fire insurance.
companies. by which large saving In
cost of insurance is made by reason Of
the inexpensive methods of opera ton
and the superior class Of risks upon
which policies are written. While it ia
true that farm risks as a whole are
extra hazardous, the property owned
by members Of the grange is less haz-
ardous and can be carried at lower
rates than farm property in general, al
the experience of these companies has
shown.
The benefit of the grange to New
England is not confined to its educa-
tional and financial features. The bene~
fits derived from it's social features are
beyond estimate and not only affect
the 100000 members, but as many
more people with whom they come In
contact. The grange is fitting it's men,
bers to enter good society with credit
to themselves and their calling. Scat
tered all over New England we find
the church, the school and the grange
hall standing side by side and each an
important factor in any community.
They are often referred to as the trim
ity of New England.
Probably the grange in New England:
will in the future exert it's greatest In
fuence upon public affairs not by thu
men and women it will fit and place In
public positions. but by the quiet work
performed in the discussion of public
questions in the 1000 grange hallas
where more than $4,000 meetings ara
held annually.-M Mirror and Farmer.

, Carlson to Go 10 Indian. ooii..


At the meeting OF the state. camp of
Modern Woodmen held in St. Paul
Wednesday, N. B. Carlson, who was
the delegate from here, was elected as
oneof the thirtyfour deleg ates to attend
the head camp, which meets in Indiana
polls June6. He is one of the two DELE
gates that will represent the Seventh
district, the other gentleman being c..
J. Berdon, of Tracy.
An exciting election and one in
which the vote was very close was in
the matter OF selecting a candidate to
be presented to the head camp for the
position of head director. Harry A.
Monroe OF St. Paul was the choice of
the convention, defeating Benz amin
d. Smith of Mankato by vote Of 81
to 81. The fight was waged on the
question of the "step-rate" plan of
insurance and Mr.. Monroe is elected
on platform opposing it.
The report of the committee on
resolutions opposed the 'step. rate"
plan OF insurance; disapproved the
expenditure of $4,000 in appointing
and hiring lecturers to present and
explain the plan; favored the adop-
ton at Indianapolis next month of an
equitable REIMBURSEMENT plan; favored
the majority rule plan: favored &C.
ton to advance forestry; and favored
the revision and restriction of the
deputy system by the head camp.
This meeting of the state camp had
been looked forward TO with much in
terest by local Woodmen as we'll as

order throughout the state, and the
action taken will meet with the ap-
proval of the mai >rity.
