st. Paul, Feb. 4.-Plans of exccp-
tional value to. the agricultural inter
ests of the state will be put into
effect through the decision to cstab-
lish IA short summer course in agri-
culture for teachers, principals and SUI
perintendcnts of Minnesota schools, at
the State Experiment Station, st. An
thony Park, st. Paul, to open on
June 8, closing Saturday, June p.
This will permit teachers and others
to complete the course prior to the
opening of summer schools. The sub
jects included in the course are such
as to give teachers and others helpful
and practical instruction in agriculture.
The work given will combine lecture
and laboratory work and field exer-
cises. Among the subjects to be taken
up during the course are agriculture
and its principles, agricultural chemis-
try, animal husbandry, blacksmithing,
dairy husbandry and animal nutrition,
dairy stock, domestic art, domestic
science, entomology, horticulture and
forestry, plant diseases, poultry, soils,
and practical general work intended to
give thorough insight into matters
related to practical farming. The
course has been designed to give prln-
cipals wishing to introduce carpentry,
blacksmithing, the elements of agri-
culture, sewing, cooking and other
subjects into their school courses, an
insight which will make such subjects
practical and successfully taught.
County superintendent will be given
an opportunity to learn at first hand
the elements of successful agriculture.
An immense amount of definitely prac-
teal instruction for the teachers them
selves will be embodied in the work
of the course, which is largely de-
signed to help them make their I'M
struction in all agricultural subjects,
thoroughly practical and more valuable
to their pupils. State Superintendent
Olsen warmly endorses the work out
lined by Dean Randall and will par
ticipate in the lecture work of the
course, as will other competent and
practical authorities. 1t is expected
that there will be large registration
for the course, the cost of which
will be very moderate. The registra-
ton fee for the course is but So. and
arrangements for excellent board at
especially low rates have been COM
pleted through the cooperation OF the
Experiment Station.

stock business in the northwest is indi
Gated with especial emphasis in Off
cial figures of the st. Paul Union
Stockyards company, just compiled by
President William Magivny, showing
that three different records for re-
ccipts were smashed in January, dur
ing which month the big South St.
Paul market led all other stock mar
kets in increases in hog receipts. On
Jan. 3, South st. Paul broke all its
previous records for the days receipts
of hogs, 1859 being received, making
the day the largest in the history
of the market. The largest previous
record was l0,Z0S on Dec. A., 1907.
For the week ending Jan. Is, new
weeks record of 43047 was establish
ed, breaking the record established
during the first week of 1904 of 1881.
January receipts of hogs were 49,
647, an increase of nearly % per cent
over the same month year ago, and
a tremendous advance on the former
months high record of l20,397, estab
lished in January, 1904.
An especially important feature of
the new records is that the principal
part of the tremendous increases
shown came from Minnesota. North
and South Dakota show very impor-
tant increases in shipments. Through
out the United States the markets
all show an increase in hog receipts,
but none equal the records made at
South st. Paul, on the basis of com
parative percentages of increase. The
figures show that many hogs are be-
inc put on the market on account of
shortage of feed, but are also sub
stantial proof of the .growing recogni-
ton of the active market at South
st. Paul. Market prices at the big
stockyards have been maintained at
a high level during the month and
the heavy receipts have been very
profitable to the shippers of the stock.
Cattle and sheep show slight de-
crease for the month, a condition
which applies at all the markets.

WHAT A BANK is

There is nothing mysterious about bank.
1t is simply an institution that deals in
money, place where money is deposited
for safe keeping and from which it may
be withdrawn when wanted, place
where money is loaned on personal or

the bank. The officers and employees of
this bank are always pleased to furnish

o. T., for the benefit of the fair as
ISOLATION, and entertained an audience
that filled the house from pit to gal
lery. 1t was the opening night, and
a second presentation will be given at
the same place and hour this evening.
The entertainment presented more
than three hours of solid fun, and the
applause was nearly continuous. Some
features were necessarily better than
others, where there was such u large
aggregation of events but all taking
part on the program did well. The
stage settings were in keeping with
the inside of a large circus tent, and
the makeups of those who had to
make up, and the costumes, were all
splendid.
Circus Features Carried Out.
The different circus features were
carried out, the programs were charged
for, and there was ten cent charge
to the concert, and agents of various
kinds kept passing up and down the
audience supplying refreshments or
selling tickets or programs. The rubes
were there, John Gerlich as the for
mer and /. H., Sickle as his wife, and
were laughter provoking.
The special scenery was the work
of Date & Madigan, two local artists
who are clever with the brush, and
Mrs. n. Reedfield supplied the wigs,
etc. Ed. Lamms orchestra and the
Twentieth Century band assisted
greatly in the pleasure of the evening.
The first part of the program was
