State Fair Information.

Secretary E. w. Randall of the
Minnesota State Fair is frequently
called upon for information relative to
the equipment, conduct and methods OF
the fair over which he has presided as
executive officer for the past eight
years. The reason for this is found
in the. fact that the Minnesota State
Fair has become the most successful OF
oil state fairs, and besides, has gained
the reputation for business methods,
and fair and prompt dealing.
The latest state to seek to profit by
Minnesota's experience, is Montana.
A day or so ago, United States Senator
Carter, of Silver State visited the Fair
Grounds and spent some time with
Sec Randall looking over books, forms
and methods, and in examining the
the grounds and equipment. Senator
Carter was very much pleased with
what he saw on the Minnesota Fair
Grounds, and expressed himself warm
ly in commendation of the methods
used. When he went away hetcarried
with him specimens of the various
blanks and forms used by the Minneso-
State Fair as well as samples of print
ed matter of all kinds. Mr.. Randall
has had other inquiries from Montana,
where it is proposed to build up state
fair commensurate with the growing

when the court appointed committee
to take charge of him and his effects.
He was found desperately i'll, and has
had every care. His children, long es-
tranged by reason of his eccentricities,
were again able to be with him, and were
at the bedside when death ensued.
Gen. Cassius NJ. Clay, the son of
Gen. Green Clay, was born in Madison
county, KY, October 10. 1910. He was
graduated from Yale in 1882 and be-
came an abolitionist as result of a
speech delivered by William Lloyd
Garrison, though his parents were
shareholders. For three terms he was
a member of the Kentucky legislature,
after which he practiced law in Lex
ington. In 1884 he edited in that city
the True American, an anti-slavery
paper. The Office was mobbed, but he
was not in the least deferred from his
purpose, and thereafter the paper was
printed in Cincinnati, but circulated
extensively in Kentucky. He served
with distinction as an officer of volun-
teers in the Mexican war, and was
noted for his bravery in the field. He
supported Taylor, Fremont, Lincoln,
Greeley, Tilden and Blaine for the
presidency, but in 1896 he supported
the gold democratic ticket. From 1861
to 1869 he was United States minister
to Russia, where he was considered
quite lion. Fresh from numerous
duels, he was looked upon there as a
hero, but he was none the less held
in high esteem both at home and
abroad as diplomat and states

Decrease in Milk.

w. w. P. Mcconnell, state dairy and
food commissioner, says that warm
weather and flies are causing heavy
decrease in the milk supply of Mime
sofa. Mr.. Mcconnell estimates that
the supply has decreased at least IS pei
cent in the last few weeks. One herd
of cows which a month ago produced
twenty-five gallons of milk daily now
produces only fourteen gallons.
The cause for the decrease is attribu-
ted largely to hot weather and flies.
The flies are said to be unusually nu-
merous this season on account of the
wet weather. Mr.. Mcconnell says
that cows consume great deal of en-
ergy in driving the flies away, and
that consequently the production OF
milk is decreased. The grass, too he
says, is not so nutritious in extreme
hot weather as in the spring.
Mr.. Mcconnell says that cows should
be kept in the shade during the warm
part of the day, and should be fed corn
fodder and other succulent food. At
night, when the flies are not so per-
sistent, he suggests that the cows be
turned into the pasture
