STALL AND GRASS FEEDING
Introduction.

Two methods of finishing cattle may
be followed by Nrginia Stockmen. In
the one case they would be placed on
feed in the early autumn and pushed
vigorously until ready for the market
In the other case they would be fed a
little more than a maintenance ration
so as to carry them through the winter
in good condition and then finished on
grass the next summer. The relative
merits of these two methods of finishing
cattle is matter of grave Importance
to every stockman Hence. 1T is being
carefully investigated at the Virginia
Experiment Station at the present time.
One report has been prepared and is
now being printed for distribution in
bulletin form to all who apply for It,
I'ighty-four animals were used in tho
work. the stabilized cattle being fed sill
age, hay and stover, with different
forms OF corn combined With cotton
seed meal. the object being to determine
the effect of the succulent ration on the
fattening process, and the best form In
which to feed corn with cotton seed
meal The grazed cattle We're fed on
different forms of roughness, some Of
a succulent and some Of a non-succulent
! nature for the purpose of comparing the
residual effect of those feeds for animals

MISS LIBBY HONORED.

Shower and Party Given Previous to Her
Departure for West
A shower was given at the residence
OF Mr.. and Mrs. G.. I. Staples on
Thursday in honor of Miss Nellie
Libby, who will shortly become the
bride of Benz. Cotton of Spokane.
There were between thirty-fve and
forty persons present and Miss Libby
received many valuable presents. Ice
cream, cake and coffee were served.
On Monday evening Miss Libby was
entertained by Mr.. and Mrs. Ira G.
Stanley, the occasion being farewell
party. About forty of Miss Libby's
friends were present and an enjoyable
evening was passed. Refreshments.
consisting of ice cream and cake we're
served.
Miss Libby left Princeton on Tues
day morning for Spokane and many
people were at the depot to bid her
goodbye. Perhaps we should not
mention the fact that large quantity
OF rice was showered upon Miss Libby
as she departed, but then it was done
in pure respect for her. May she en-
Joy life in her new home.

Potatoes at This Point.

Potatoes at this point are being
marketed very slowly, which is due
partially to the fact that the season
is somewhat late, but more so to the
decision of the American Society of
Equity unions to make arrangements
for shipping their own murphys in
stead of disposing of them to the local
buyers. The probability is that the
society will not commence shipping in
any great quantity until sometime
next month.
Thos. F. Scheen has been the only
buyer On the street this week, and he
has purchased and shipped three cars
of Ohios, while the W. II. Terrell
warehouse has shipped a like number
of cars of the same variety of pota-
toes. The latter firm has also bought
a few loads of Triumphs and stored
them. Prices prevailing at this point
since last Thursday have ranged from
40 to As cents for Ohios and 30 to IS
cents for Triumphs.
Next week the number of buyers
will be increased, but it is not ex-
pected that the movement of potatoes
will materially increase.
The crop of potatoes in this vicinity
averages fairly we'll. but there are Sec
tions where the tubers are very small
and will scarcely pay for digging.
The "bumper crop" stories published
in the dailies are entirely unreliable.

On Monday evening the village
council met in regular session with
Messrs. Jones, Grant and Stanley in
attendance.

Upon motion the village recorder
was ordered to draw a warrant for
S196.62 in favor of the Firemen's Re-
lief association. that being the amount
due to said association.
Electrician Westphal asked for an
increase of salary with the alternative
of resigning. No action was taken,
No other business came up for the
consideration of the council and the
body adjourned. --...

Forced Past the Redhead.

That was mean trick perpetrated
upon our friend Mike by Tom Galley
and Martin Brands. Mike had re-
peatedly refused to pass the red
headed girl at the entrance to the
palmist's booth, but the two gentlemen
aforesaid pushed him past her and
stood guard while the gypsy within
told his fortune. The best part of the
story, however, runs like this: An
hour or so previous to forcing Mike
into the presence of the dark-skinned
lady Mr.. Galley entered the booth un-
seen by Mike and gave the palmist
the history of his (Mike's) life. Thus
it was that when the sorcerer held
Mikes little hand and told him truth
fully of his past he wilted. Big beads
Of perspiration appeared upon his
forehead and he shook from head to
foot. "Be gobs," he calculated when
released, II b'lieve that crittur is in
league with the divil! Let's HE to the
corner hardware store without delay
before I drap down in me very
tracks," They hied, his guards and

a guide for Messrs. Gerth and
Boulter. VIM. Gerth was one of a
party of four who came to this part of
the country from St. Paul fifty years
ago. He took up a claim where AL
bert Reichow now lives and shortly
afterwards returned to St. Paul. In
1861 he enlisted in the army and in
1862 was among those who fought the
Indians at Fort Abercrombie. At
this place he narrowly escaped being
shot, ball from a redman's rifle
scraping the skin from his forehead
and carrying away a portion of his
hair. From Fort Abercrombie he was
sent south, fought in many battles of
the civil war and was discharged in
1865, when the war had terminated.
After the war Mr.. Gerth visited his
brother-in-law, G. 81. Lindeke, on the
farm where George Schmidt now lives,
and then went to Missouri, where he
now resides.

Take q Fishing Trip to the Falls.

Most business if combined with
pleasure leads to success. All bust
ness ground out in desperation fails in
time. Fifty-fve miles of virgin wood
land, rich in soil and rich in timber,
can be traversed by writing to Ed
mund G.. Walton, ia South Fourth
street, Minneapolis, for permit over
the construction route of the Northern
Pacific from Big Falls, Minnesota, to
Little Fork. At Little Fork a large
and commodious steamer takes you
81 miles up Rainy river to Interna-
tional Falls. Total expense from
Minneapolis S7.85. Now then, what
will you see? A new country with
marvellous possibilities, water power
of $4,000 horse power, 5000 million
feet of pine and spruce-a farming
country with soil as rich as the rich
est in Iowa, an ideal climate, a net
work of lakes and streams filled with
all the usual varieties of fresh water
fish and money to be picked up for the
asking. Read Christopher Columbus
report of America to the court of
Spain or "Monte Christo'' and you
will then partly understand what the
riches of Koochiching county really
are. No one really knows what wealth
there is there, but little fishing trip

Wins Medal and Two Cash Prizes at Ma
tional Rifle Shoot.
Sergt. Fl. D. Marshall returned on
Monday from the annual national rifle
shoot at Camp Perry, Port Clinton,
Ohio. Princeton had an excellent rep
resentative in Sergt. Marshall. He
carried off two cash prizes and one
medal. In the Herrick match, consist
ing of Is shots at the 900 yard range,
won by Mr.. Marshall, he made score
of 10 points out of a possible IS, and in
the Leach cup match-5 shots at the
lO00-yard range-he made % points
out of a possible 25 and won second
money. This is remarkably fine
craftsmanship.
There we're 40 rife teams at the
shoot, Minnesota winning the eleventh
place with a total score of 3249, or POP
points higher than last year, and beat
ing Illinois by points. The United
States Navy team made the highest
score 3421 points, and the Virginia
team the lowest-1909 points. Min
nesota's contingent consisted of 20
men II of whom were rifle shots and 3
alternates.
Oscar Olson of Duluth won the gold

To Stop Fraud.

Among the measures to be urged be-
fore the next congress, according to
announcement just made, says the New
York Journal of Commerce, will be
one regulating advertisements and
prohibiting and providing penalties
for Objectionable, pernicious, false,
fraudulent or misleading ADVERTISE
ments. The bill, it is understood,
which is aimed particularly at a GER
tain class of financial advertising
closely connected with the promotion
OF mining ventures, is also intended
to extend the protection of the federal
statutes, so far as is possible, to the
customers of fake catalogue mail
order concerns throughout the United
States and also to affect certain patent
medicine concerns.

funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Father Levings on Sunday

of the deceased.
Mrs. Kaliher was a devout Catholic

Scholastic Notes.

About two-thirds of the schools in
the county opened Tuesday morning,
the others being scheduled for Sep
TENDER 9, and a few for the 10Th of the
month.
The attendance is larger than antici-
pated, and the corps Of rural teachers
is nearly one-half first grade, some
thing unusual in most counties. There
are only three districts which accept
any third grade teachers, semi-graded
schools being prohibited by law from
accepting anything but complete Sec
ond grade certificates in the lower
room and first grade in the higher de-
partment. Teachers applying for
positions should remember this and
not apply for positions which the law
prohibits them from occupying, for it
causes a deal of trouble for school
boards and county superintendent.
Considerable difficulty has been
found in securing boarding places for
the country teachers. This was not
the case few years since. Wherein
lies the trouble now?
The county board convention and
Teachers association will meet in joint
session at the high school assembly
room, Princeton, on Saturday, Octo-
Der 26, 1907. Supt. A. N. Farmer,
State Superintendent Olson, President
W. A. Shumaker of the St. Cloud
normal school and Supt. S. w. Gilpin
of st. Louis county are among those
who are on the program. Agriculture
in the schools. as it should be han
died, will come up for consideration.
School boards must remember that
this is their meeting and should come
prepared to ask questions and get all
possible information out of it. Mile
age and $500 for one day are allowed,
and though this costs considerable for
districts far away, it is a good invest
ment for the schools, as it renews the
energy with which school boards take
up their duties in the way of hiring
better teachers, in reftting and repair
ing the school buildings and improv-
ing the fences and grounds.

bination pulled out of town on Mon
day morning for Lake Mills, Iowa,
and expects to return to Minnesota
after the state fair. While the aggre-
cation was a source of some amuse-
ment, it was also a source of consid-
cradle noise, and the people generally
were glad when the time for it's depar-
ture arrived. The show took consid-
cradle money out of town, but it had
the redeeming feature of increasing

FAIR OPENS. SEPT. Is
Premiums Which Should Guarantee
Excellent Exhibits Offered to
Successful Competitors.
Horse Races, Ball Games and Other
Attractions Will Be Provided
by the Management.

Ihe annual fair of the Mile Laos
County Agricultural association will
be held in Princeton on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, September 26.
n and %. The first day will be
largely taken up in preliminaries such
as the entry and arrangement of ex-
hlDlts, etc. An excellent program,
consisting of horse races, baseball
games and band concerts is promised
by the management for the second and
third days.
Five hundred dollars is the approx
innate sum which will be available for
the premium list this year, and the list
will be revised so that the amounts in
each class will receive a material in
crease.
Inc management has decided that
only farmers horses will be permitted
to enter for the races, as in former
years dissatisfaction has been created
by the admission of fast horses whose
owners take them from fair to fair and
carry Off the prizes which virtually
belong to the farmers.
An effort should be put forth by
every person in the county to make
this the most successful fair ever held
here The season has been a good one
for raising all kinds of agricultural
and horticultural products, and the
display should therefore be one which
will bestow credit upon the county.
A little push is all that is needed to
make this the best fair ever.
