AT STATE FAIR-WHAT THE
PREMIUM LIST OFFERS.

The cattle department has always been
the strongest feature of the Minnesota;
state fair and in late years has become
proportionately more conspicuous thru the
holding of national cattle exhibits by the
leading breeders associations. For the
fair of 1904 which opens this yeor on
Aug. 20, the cattle division will be made
stronger than heretofore. The American
Hereford Breeders Association and the
American Shorthorn Breeders association
will give national exhibits and will also
conduct auction sales. These two great
associations join with the Minnesota State
Agricultural society in offering enormous
premiums for cattle Of their respective
breeds.
In the new premium list which is now
being distributed from the office Of Sec
rotary E. w. Randall. the rules governing
are set forth at length. For the national
Shorthorn show total of $4,000 in
premiums is offered. This includes
strong classification, open to the whole
world, and in addition group Of pre-
miums aggregating $4,000 to be distribu-
tide among Minnesota breeders only. Sup
Elementary to the later is a fine trophy

no country has ever gained SO great

The Times has a subscriber on

for thirty-six years and never paid
a cent. The next time the quill
pusher of The l-DEPENDENr pays
his respects TO the pagans, he will
confer a favor by telling just what
will happen to our prize delinquent

Sure enough your delinquent is
a bad one. but We al 60 you one
better; we have one who has had
the paper for three months, a part
of the time fifty copies sent regu-
larly to him to distribute among
his friends, who never paid a cent
and now asks that his name be
stricken from the list, as he has a
chance to borrow one to read. Just
what will happen to him and the
skinflint referred to in the Times,
is hard to conjecture, but what
ought to happen to them, how
ever, is dead easy: they should
be dipped in tar, shook up in a
feather-bed, and shot through a
