Don't you wish you had been at

along with Finley Gray. Charlie

The description of the approach of
the fleet to San Diego is enough to
thrill the patriotic breast when the
flagship signalled "Stand by to an
Choir" and in silence each of the
other fifteen leviathans of the white
squadron shook out answering sig
mails, followed by the splash Of the
heavy anchors of each battleshir
almost simultaneously. And it must
have been IAN equally impressive
sight to see each Of the battleships

SAINT PAUL NEWS LETTER.

The unsatisfactory conditions pre-
vailing across the Canadian line were
emphasized at meeting of the
shareholders of the Grand Trunk
which took place in London. The
company attributed its unsatisfac-
tory report to crop failures and bad
harvests in Canada which the chair
man stated had led to period of
depression which still prevails.
While regretting these misfortunes,
quite different picture can be
drawn of conditions in Minnesota
and the Northwest.
The first period of the year has
seen an expansion of business pass
ing through the Union Stockyards
at South Saint Paul which is phe-
nomenal. There have been record
breaking receipts in every depart
ment, and farmers are ENJOYING
values which are inclined to soar.
Take the slaughtering of hogs for
for commercial purposes as an ex-
ample, and there is an increase, for
this period of AZ per cent. In fact
415, AT hogs were sold at South
Saint Paul during the first three
months of the year, an increase of
185. 900 on the number for the cor
responding period of the previous
year. Minnesota alone contributed
to this expansion an increase of ship.
ments of 80 per cent, South Dakota
~ per cent and Wisconsin 35 per
cent, while the miscellaneous in
creases equalled 500 per cent. Meat
and pork packing is still the leading
industry in Minnesota, Swift's alone
employing 5000 hands. With the
enormous acreage which will be
settled in the Northwest during the
next few years it can safely be
stated that, as tar as Saint Paul is
concerned, the packing industry is
still in its infancy.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1908-04-22

Everything is favorable for a big
crop and the result depends on fu-
ture conditions. The acreage will
be increased In Minnesota and the
Northwest on account of the increase
of new farms which have been open
ed for operation. The increase will
be in barley, oats, corn, flax and
wheat in the order named, or more
coarse grain as against the larger
acreage in the past of wheat al
though the extent of the newly
broken ground insures that the
acreage in wheat will be maintained.
The railroads connecting with the
lines terminating at Saint Paul are
waking up to the commercial advar-
tages Of granting reduced rates for
tourists visiting this city in order to
enjoy the fine stretches of Mississippi
River scenery or the salubrious
beauty of the Minnesota lakes.
Many roads have contended that
they were justified in maintaining
the fare of two cents mile in both

Yellow Medicine county is likely
to have a lady superintendent the
coming year, as the Tribune notes
that their present efficient superin-

nation. Miss Lue A. Olds, a grad
uate of Carleton college as well as of
GranitesFalls High school, has an
nounced her candidacy and is highly
spoken of by the Tribune. She is

Sioux Agency, and still lives with
her parents in the historic brick
house erected by the government
for the officers of the Upper Agency

The newspaper caricaturists have
done much to obscure the really solid
merits of the man Of the hour, w.
H. Taft. A close observer writes
that it has seldom happened that a
man with judicial temperament and
training has also developed an extra
ordinary executive capacity. This is
the most surprising thing in secretary
Taft. He thinks deeply, approaches
every problem from the standpoint
of a judge, and then he acts like
lightning. He does nothing. appar-
emily, from impulse. He may smile
and smile, but back of the hearty
laugh which infects a roomful is a
thinking machine which never stops.

directions to tourists. But there
are indications that the desire to
secure passenger traffic by compel
ing companies is leading to this be-
ing abandoned. The announcement
Of another tourist rate from the
south, in which the Wabash, with
the Iowa Central and the Minnea-
polls & Saint Louis have agreed to
sanction around trip rate from Saint
Louis to Saint Paul, is but one of a
series of reductions in favor of tour
lists which have been agreed upon,
and which will come into operation
on or about June LIST. Here is an il
lustration of the benefits which ac-
crue to the travelling public owing
to the existence of healthy competi-
ton among the railroads. Several
lines refused to make this concession
earlier in the year, but once compet-
ing roads had decided to make bid
for the lucrative tourist traffic others
promptly came into line.
The spectacular presentation of
Fort Ridgely in 1862, and the famous

300 genuine Sioux Indians, at the
Forthcoming State Fair, is exciting
theattention Of enthusiastic Minneso-
tians at st. Paul. No efforts will be
spared to make the spectacle impress
siye. There will be an elaborate re-
gard for detail and it is likely to be
the most remarkable object lesson
in history which has ever been given
in the United States. The changes
which have taken place in the last
fifty years have been so drastic, and
the Developments have been so
great that none but the older inhab-
itants remember with horror what a
real menace the Indians once were
to the scattered Minnesota commun-
tiles. Little over fifty years ago In

To FRtten Fowls.

Shut the fowls up in a darkened
place with just enough light for them
to see to eat, and feed on cornmeal,
ground oats, cracked wheat and shorts,
which may be mixed in equal proper
tions and scalded Feed as often dur
ing the day as they will eat up the
food clean. That is to say, stuff them.
Take a light and feed again Just be-
fore your bedtime, and as early in the
morning as possible. Supply them
with grit and water and keep the
premises clean Half Il dozen fowls to-
gether will fatten more quickly than a
large number, as they will not pine for
company. Cooked potatoes, rice, corn
bread. cracked corn and whole wheat
may also be fed Give no green stuffs,
as it is too filling and will do no good.
Fowls crowded this way should be in
fine condition in two weeks. Shut up
longer, they are likely to begin to nope
and will go back rather than increase
in weight.-Rural World.

Among the statements which ought
to make the average man sit up and
think are the following:
"A quart of milk at Sc Is equivalent
IN rood value to pound of beef at 1Sc.
This means that 4c worth of milk gives
as much food energy in the body as &c
worth Of beef
''The average individual consumes
three or four times as much meat in
day as the body actually needs for re.
pair, and for its highest physical con-
dition.

less meat and consume one
half more milk, they would save about

Doctor David Roberts, State Veteri-
marian of Wisconsin, gives this advice
Perhaps the best way of demonstrating
the danger of drenching cattle is to ad-
wise the reader to throw back his head
as far as possible and attempt to swal-
low. This you will find to be a diff
cult task, and you will find it more
difficult and almost impossible to swal-
this reason that drenching cattle is a
dangerous practice. However, If cows
head be raised as high as possible and
her mouth kept open by the drenching
bottle or horn, a portion Of the liquid
is very apt to pass down the windpipe
into the lungs, sometimes causing in
times causing death to follow in few
days from congestion or inflammation
of the lungs. Give all cattle their
medicine hypodermically or in feed. If
they refuse feed give 1t dry on the
tongue. The proper method Of giving a
cow medicine is to stand on the right
side of the COW, placing the left arm
around the nose and at the same time
opening her mouth, and with a spoon in
tie right hand place the medicine,
which should be in a powdered form,
back on the tongue; she can then swal-
low with safety.
