ACLOSE CALL.
Charles BuChOlZ Gets the Flash
of a Pound of Powder
in the Face.

Charles Bucholz had narrow es-
cape on Thursday morning. He had
just removed FROM farm south of the
city to Round Prairie. There was a
fire in the kitchen stove, and he was
burning up a lot of rubbish. Some
way a.package containing pound
of powder was thrown into the fire,
the flames shot up through the opening
striking him in the face, and burning
one hand terribly. Fortunately his
eyes escaped serious injury, but his
face is raw and blistered, and fright
fully swollen. His coat was set on fire
but fortunately his wife was near and
stripped it from him before it had
burned through. DR.. Lewis is attend
ing the case, and is inclined to congrat-
ulate lis patient upon his escape from
more serious injury.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1903-09-24

increasing interest and will rank well
with the annual county expositions
held in the best counties of the older
states, and that the good resulting
from it will be of solid benefit to the
farmers of this locality. No progress
sive American farmer will willingly
consent to be outclaSsed by his neigh
Dor and those of our farmers who this
year learned by comparison, that their
products were not of the highest quail
ity will profit by the information OBJ
tanned and will next year endeavor to
eliminate the Shortcoming.
At this time we are unable to pro-
cure a list Of those exhibitors who pro-
cured premiums, and as the writer is,
with few exceptions, unfamiliar with
the names Of those persons who pre-
sented the best exhibits, we refrain
from going into detail until such time
as Secretary Ingram has completed the
record. After this is done we will en-
deavor to publish in full the list Of
awards.
LIVE STOCK
In these departments there was a
good number of animals entered-eS-
pecially horses and cattle and those
on exhibition were mostly of quality
which indicates that the farmers Of
the neighborhood have ceased to be
satisfied with mongrel-blooded stock
and are making good progress in the
way of improving the quality of their
farm animals.
POULTRY
The hen convention was in charge
of Mr.. Forkner, the large, good-natur-
ed gentleman from Fairy Lake, and,
although the occasional crow of a
rooster or the cackle of a conceited
hen informed the visitor that there
were few birds on exhibition, this
was not as literally pat
ronized as it should have been. There
we're, however, few good specimens.
BY the way, this may be good place
to mention that the average farmer
who gives little or no attention to
poultry makes mistake. In the sub
urbs Of the larger cities. chicken
are common and usually they
pay we'll. Poultry and eggs bring al
most as good prices here as in the
metropolitan towns. The hen-a good,
aristocratic, high-toned hen-is
money Garner and we don't blame it
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1903-09-24
for cackling every time it lays an egg.
FARM PRODUCE

FARM PRODUCE
This department was under the sup
ervisiOn of A. G. Kay and the exhibits
were numerous and good-probably
as a whole not eXcelled in quality by
the exhibits at the State Fair. The
corn and potato exhibits were especial
ly good.
KITCHEN AND DAIRY DEPARTMENTS
The above department was presided
over by Mrs. G. g. Tobey and,
although the exhibit was somewhat
limited as to the number of contest
ants, there were enough samples to go
around. There, was angels's food and
there was DEVILS food, and there was
mince pie to make one who might not
be supplied with properly-regulated
digestive appara tus feel relationship
to one OF the Aforementioned pro-
ducts Of the oven. Ali in all, this de-
partment was somewhat Sighted, the
ladies, as is common to the present
day, giving more of their attention to
the art Of painting and the making of
exquisite doilies, lsofa pillows, 6atten-
burg, etcetera. In the good, old days
of our grandmothers the lady who
could make the best bread was envied
by the neighborhood. If good cooking
has ceased to be an art we would call
the attention of the ladies to that ad-
age which tells us that the way to
reach the heart of humanity is by the
stomach route. Even in this day Of
fads and fashion eating is something
of an essential and the person who
subsists on oil-portrayed mountain
scenery or point lace will perhaps be
as slender as republican editor who
attempts to earn living in Alabama.
Next year we hope that the good
ladies will put on their old-fashioned
aprons and come forth with a more
elaborate culinary exhibit.
NEEDLE AND FANCY WORK.
In the above class the exhibits were
more extensive than in anyI of the
other departments. In fact many
visiters were of the opinion that the
display was equal to that seen at the
State Fair this year. The depart
ment was conducted under the super
vision Of Mrs. Frank Perry, an &C.
knowledged authority, and the pretty
