CAKES TEMPT VISITORS
Display Of Fancy Cookery Is Particu-
larry Fine and Appetizing.

Not satisfied with carrying off the
first premium in EN- broidery, the men
have even invaded the cookery depart
ment, for one Q. fthe largest collections
of cakes entered was made by man.
Mr.. Lunger Of St. Paul sent in a tutti
fruitti cake, white, gold and a
sponge cake and an angel cake, each
one of which looks as light and delicate
as any stirred by feminine fingers. Mr..
Lunger is the only man who has dared
to compete with the women in what is
strictly their province, and there was
much fear and trembling that another
prize might be wrested from those who
should have it, according to all tradi-
ton and custom.
Him, hm-m-m! Wouldn It I like to
judge those pies,' exclaimed more than
one hungry visitor as he came face to
face with the eighteen pies that were
of a glass case. Every pie looked
good enough to eat and the Judges as
they steadily and practically made their
way from apple to pumpkin and from
pumpkin on to lemon and mince were
loudly envied. Last year the Judges
only had to taste six pies, but this year
eighteen fiaky, toothsome dainties were
waiting for them.
Mrs. R. O'Grady of st. Paul has. as
usual, the largest loaf Of bread. Mrs.
O'Grady has won a premium almost
every year for her skill in bread maxi
ing, but the prize she regards as worth
more than even the coveted blue ticket
was the praise her bread received from
President Roosevelt when he was at the
fair several years ago. The loaf is a
huge, crusty one this year, equal to that
the president liked, according to Mrs.
O'Grady. There are not so many en-
tries for the bread premiums as for the
cakes and cookies, for fewer awards are
offered and the women of Minnesota

In order to avoid or to settle any dis.

the racing events at the state fair this
year, the judges have adopted a COM
paratively new wrinkle in which the
art of the photographer aids and abets
the skill and training of the expert
horseman.
During the early hours of Monday an
elevated platform was built directly
across from the judges stand, on line
with the finishing wire, and on that

They are fine animals, however. Washed
and brushed till they fairly glisten,
they secure just as many admirers as
the Percheron horses or the Hereford
bulls. The family has two noble repre-
sentatives in Chief Tecumseh Nv, who
weighs $50 pounds, according to the
veracious attendant. Surprise II, who
is a real lady, is as proud as pig can
be of her 700 pounds.
The Duroc Jerseys are housed in the
pens outside, but feel no humiliation;
in fact, the attendants are likely to
boast greatly Of the superiority of their
big red pigs. For instance, Perfec-
ton Chief is reputed to weigh 900
pounds and will reach 1900 in time
Sensation Prince, to only 16 months
old, weighs 572 pounds, while he has
brother only months old who weighs
240 pounds. AS the piggies are not
much bigger than a mans hand at
birth, their phenomenal growth will be
appreciated even by denizens of the
cities.
It might be said that the pigstyes, if
such they may be called, are just as
clean as the cow barns, or the horse
barns, and fully. as attractive, for the
utmost cleanliness is enforced by the
state fair management.

Only one child brought loaf of cake
this year, and she came too late to enter
it, but when Mrs. Luther saw the tears
of disappointment in her eyes she gave
permission to have the cake left, and it
has been tagged with her name and adj
dress and will have chance for the
prize. The children come in strong in
the home candy division and the fudge
and creams and caramels were all made
by juvenile cooks.
The canned fruit and preserve show
ing this year is smaller than last, owing
to the fact that fruit was expensive
and rather poor this summer. Even if
it. is smaller, the jars and bottles fill
nearly all the shelves in the cupboards.
Fully third of the pantry stores

Olmstead of Minneapolis, who has
charge of that department, this morn
ing, for they live near enough to
bring their pies and cakes over without
any trouble. The twin cities and sub
urbs really furnish most of the pantry
stores.

ONIONS TO DECIDE
GARDEN CONTESTS
TWIN CITY GROWERS IN SPIRIT
ED COMPETITION. =
Rival Market Gardeners Associations
Present Displays the Features of
Which Are Minnehaha Falls for One
and Capitol for the Other, Each Done
in Toothsome Onions.

The supremacy of Minneapolis and
st. Paul as farming communities will
be settled by onions, and it will be a
powerful tear-compelling contest. No
doubt all citizens of both municipalities
are aware that tho most closely con-
tested horserace. is not marker to
the stern and determined contest be-
tween the Minneapolis Market Garden
ers' association and the st. Paul
raise the best vegetables. y
The Minneapolis grangers had dis.
play last year which not only captured
the first prize, but sent their rivals
home burning with envy and fairly
possessed by determination to make
the Minneapolis exhibit look like a
weekend vegetable stall in compari-
son with their booth.
Display Is Fine.
st. Paul has done well; even the
most rabid Minneapoiphile admits it.
The browning piece Of the st. Paul
exhibit is model of the state capitol
done in white onions. The model is
about thirty feet long and is one of the
most attractive features Of the fair.
1t represents an immense amount of
work and much ingenuity and the st.
Paul growers have every reason to be
proud of it.
Minneapolis has also chosen onions
for the prize contest and it's centerpiece
is copy Of the Falls of Minnehaha
also done in white onions. It may
seem difficult to reproduce the effect
of a waterfall in onions, but it has
been cleverly done and all the visitors
upon seeing the booth exclaim: "Why,
look at Minnehaha! -
At the same time it is not nearly as
imposing as the state capitol. Where
the Minneapolis growers expect to even
up on the St. Paul booth is in the size,
condition, variety and abundance Of
the vegetables. In these important
details the Minneapolis exhibit is so
far ahead of the one across the way
that there is no comparison. At least
ten tons of vegetables are shown in
the Minneapolis display while the other
Is almost pitiful in comparison with
this wealth. For instance, thirty-seven
varieties Of potatoes, and twenty-seven
varieties of tomatoes, all available for
the market, are shown.
Where Onions Count.
But arrangement counts fifty points
know that they have superior goods
they are little apprehensive that the
imposing state capitol will get moro
glory than it deserves
All the officers of the Minneapolis
Market Gardeners association had
hand in arranging the booth. These
are Nelson Reeves, president; E. O.
Ballard, secretary, and Fred M. Libby,
treasurer. Mr.. Libby has been chair
man of the committee on booth and
has had able assistance from William
Roma, Robert Craig, Eugene Doran, F.
II: Gibbs, Mrs. D. S. Libby, Hubert
Dahners, J. A., Hamilton and Chris
Johnson. Mr.. Hamilton helped out
greatly in the potato line, supplying
many fine varieties. Johnson designed
posed wholly of vegetables, which at
tracts general attention and praise.
The Judges began their work today
and will probably report before the
day is over.

JUDGES NOSES ARE
HARD TO DECEIVE
REPRESENTATIVES IN PUT-UP FRUIT
QUICKLY DISCOVERED.
st. Paul Man Takes Prizes for Cake.
Baking and His Pupil Goes Him One
Better-Wayzata Woman Wins on
Preserved Fruit Grown in Her Own
Gardens. -. D..

Honesty may not win a prize, but dis
of the judges in the pantry stores is so
adulteration. Last year they detected
the carbolic acid in a cake and in spite
of the fact that the cake was the whit
est and finest grained shown, it did not
win a prize. This year there were a
couple of bottles Of gooseberry and
raspberry preserves which were unusual
in their color. and beauty. Scarcely
were they opened, however, when one
of the judges, pursed her lips and looked
knowingly at the others.
A knowing Nose.
"Preservatives! she said.
There was no doubt that little pow
der which can be purchased for 10 cents
and which will preserve four cans of
fruit, had been used to give the berries
the color nature had given them. The
women Is department. Of the state fair
wishes to encourage home cookery, but
it does not indorse anything which
possible that the matter may be brought
before the pure food commission of the
state. Anyhow, those special bottles
did not win a prize, even if they did
rival in appearance every other goose
berry and raspberry on the shelf.
Another Man Wins.
J. G. Lunger of st. Paul has joined
forces with Louis Glader Of Minneapo-
lis in beating the women of Minnesota
on their own ground. Mr.. Glader won
the first premium for silk embroidery,
and now Mr.. Lunger has carried off two
premiums for cakes, the second prize
for both angel food and gold cake. And
as if that were not humiliating enough
to the fair sex it was a woman who was
instructed in cakemaking by Mr.. Lunger
who was awarded the first premium for
second. Plainly Mr.. Lunger can teach
even better than he can bake for his
pupil. Mrs. A. G. Ruggles, also of St.
Paul, was awarded the second prize for
white cake, the third premium in the
special contest and first premium for
nut cake.
"Why is it," someone asked, "that
men are taking the prizes in women s
own felds"
=, The Why and Wherefore.
And someone else found the answer.
1t is because men are more methodi-
cal and careful than women. In cake
making a manwill not guess at amounts,
he will measure or weigh accurately Just
the material the recipe calls for, and &C
curacy is what counts in cakemaking
and embroidery as well as more import
ant things.'
Mrs. S. R. Spates Of Wayzata won
honors in preserves and it is interesting
to know that most Of the fruit she put
up was raised on her own land so thai
Mrs. Spates really grew, her fruit and
then preserved it. Her crabapple jelly
preserved gooseberries, raspberries, and
cherries were declared to be the best
put up in the state Of Minnesota, and
