FIVE MEMBERS OF LAKE PRAIRIE
FAMILY NOW IN ST. PETER.
Accused Neighbor Of Working Evil
Spell and Pounded
Her.

st. Peter, Mimi, Nov. 9.-Three
members of single family were TAX
en- before the probate court of Nicollet
county and committed to the st. Peter
state hospital for the insane by Judge
Henry Moll. Their commitment has
revived interest in the Lake Prairie
witchcraft case, one of the strangest
ever known in this section. u
On March Is, 1907, Miss Ellen Pet
erson, of Lake Prairie township then
a girl of 10, was arrested on charge
of assault preferred by Mrs. Martha
s. Norlin, neighbor. When arraign-
ed in justice court the girl answered
the preliminary questions intelligently
enough, but followed them with the
fiat assertion that Mrs. Norlin had be-
witched the entire Peterson household
She told how the alleged evil influence
Of the neighbor had caused cows to 60
dry, prevented cream from ripening,
brought about the death of poultry and
precipitated various other calamities.
To punish Miss Peterson and mar
ried sister, Mrs. F. G. LilliQuist inter.
copied Mrs. Norlin as she was passing
the Peterson dwelling and pounded
her numerically. 49,.
When the girl was being examined
in court her brother, Christian Larson,
sat at her side, and after she had
been sentenced to serve 16 days in
Jail, he made a protest and threatened
to kill Mrs. Norlin. A warrant was
issued for him and he was placed I'M
der 5000 bonds to keep the peace Be-
ing unable to furnish bends he went
to Jail for six months.
Following his release there was no
recurrence of the trouble until Satur-
day, when Ellen Peterson and her
mother, Mrs. Christian Peterson, at
tackled Mrs. Norlin in front OF their
home ard gave her another beating.
She promptly notified the county Off
Gals, and Sheriff August Olson and
Deputies c. ]. Norman and James N.Y.
ers went to the Peterson home and
placed them under arrest. All resisted
stubbornly, and were only overcome
after hard struggle.
In the probate courtroom they de-
clned to answer questions. but sat
mute and stolid until committed. Lars
Peterson, husband Of Mrs. Christian
Peterson, has been an inmate Of the
state hospital for 80 years. and their
son-in-law, f. q. Lilliquist, was sent
there in 1902. This last triple CONF
mitment, therefore, makes Ave mem
bers Of the family receiving treatment
at tho institution.

provision II the rules makes this an
exhibition where conditions are most
favorable to the smaller stock raisers
who are not engaged IN breeding the
prize winers of the big shows.
The livestock industry is one Of the
most important of the country, but it
is still In it's infancy in the territory
of the show. What the management
of the show hopes for is good exhibits
of the best stock available. The work
has really only begun, and the results
will follow in the improvement of the
stock on the farms of the Northwest.
and that is what we are striving for.
To encourage the show generous
premiums are offered every year, ana
a comparison of the prizes offered
with those OF any of the older shows
will prove that in, a good many cases
they exceed those offered by it's larger
rivals.
The management is also arranging
special entertainment features includ-
ing a series of lectures and demon
'strations by men prominent in agri-
cultural college and experiment sta
ton work and in livestock circles on
market types of livestock, breeding
and feeding, and other subjects of in
terest and value to the farmers and
stock men. An additional feature of
interest will be the explanations given
by the judges in the ring as to why
and how the winners are placed.

New York, Nov. 9.-Although he au-
nounced early in the evening that he
had retired to quiet place "away
from New York." Dr.. Frederick A.
Cook caused to be issued through a
friend last night, statement in an
swer to Rear Admiral Chester of the
National Geographic society, who dis
credited the Brooklyn explorers
claims in an interview at Washington.
DR.. Cook said:
THE only point raised by Admiral
Chester is the suggestion of erroneous
location by the midnight sun. This
midnight sun on April Is no evi.
dence of our position. Though the
days had been clear, the northern
skies had not been clear at night for
many days previous to this. A low
haze or cloudiness obsured the horiz-
on and the sun sank into this. We
did not use the sun at night for naut-
lcal observations. Nor did we stay
awake all night to watch effects.

HERE is A SHOW FOR THE FAR
MER AND STOCK RAISER,

The Third Annual Show of the
Northwestern Livestock Association
which will be held at South st. Paul
November 10th to 10Th, 1909, will be
bigger and better this year than ever,
Judging from the way entries are com
ing in, and the management has
again been compelled to enlarge it's
housing facilities.
In spite of the fact that corn has
been scarce and high in price during
the past year, the entries this fall
will show an increase over previous
years. This is very encouraging and
indicates that the farmers and raisers
of stock are taking q greater interest
in one Of the most important indus
tries of the country, with the result
that they will bring to the market a
better class Of stock; and this is one
Of the objects Of this show.
This Association pays out approx.
mately $1,000 year in cash pre-
Z y
1niums, and. in addition to this, val
liable trophy cups and medals are
offered for winners OF championships
in the various classes. -

Quoted on the lines Of other live

CLEANING AND GRADING SEED
GRAIN.

lnstitues.) s8s3
Selection Of seed:-Most farmers
appreciate the value OF good live
stock. They select their best animals
for breeding and market the others.
They know good animals will give
them better returns and more vigor-
Gus offspring than will the weaker
ones. Few appreciate this same prin-
ciple as applied to the selection Of
seed grain, and yet the principles are
as applicable and necessary to good
grain raising as to good stock rails
ing
A bin of grain may be compared to
a herd of cattle, and superior indiyid-
uals may be selected from the bin Of
rain as well as from the herd of cat.
tie. Individual kernels of grain vary
as much in ability to produce good or
poor offspring as do Individual ami
mails. The heavy plump seeds were
produced in most cases upon the
strongest and most vigorous plants,
and the light, shrunken seeds from
the weaker and less vigorous plants.
That like produces like is a we'll
known axiom in animal breeding, and
the influence of heredity is as strong
in plant life as in animal life. I'm
provement can be effected only by
breeding from the strongest individ-
uals. Hence there is much reason
for selecting good Individual seeds of
grain as for selecting good Individual
animals.
Yields from Heavy and light Weight
Seeds. Acow in good condition will
give birth to stronger calf, and will
give more milk to nourish it, than
will a COW in a poor and weak con-
dition. Correspondingly, plump kerr
mel of grain will produce a stronger
plant and nourish it better than will
a shrunken, light kernel. This fact
has been demonstrated beyond doubt
by experiments testing the yield from
light and heavy weight seeds. The fol-
lowing table shows the yields of
winter wheat obtained from light and
heavy weight seeds at the Nebraska
Experiment Station:
Yield Yield Average
t per acre per acre two
Kind of seed. in 1900. in 1901. years.
Heavy ..... 29.5 bu 1913 bu. 1914 bu.
Light ...... $50 bu. 26.7 bu. 24.S bu.
Gain in favor Of heavy seed .. 4.6 blu.
A similar experiment at the Min
nesota Experiment Station with heavy
and light weight oats bulletin No.9D
gave an increase of 91a bu. per acre
in favor of the heavy seed.
There are two principles by which
grain can be separated in ordinary
tanning mills, namely, by weight and
by size of kernel. The average fam
ming mill will handle at this kind of
cleaning about 40bushels per hour. At
this rate in eight hours two men can
clean 800 bushels. This will make
the cost something less than one cent
per bushel.
With a "side shake" tanning mill,
one can separate by weight as the
grain falls thru the air blast, and by
size of kernel as the grain passes
over the screens. This is the better
separation as it gives one the heaviest
and plumpest kernels. With an lend
shake" mill, the separation can be
made only by size of kernel. Either
method is much better than no sepa-
ration or simply cleaning. BY taking
10 per cent to so per cent of the best
Of the seed as grown, one can not
only have the best of his grain for
seed, but can have it almost absolutely
free from weeds. 49,.

LARGE INCREASE IN CUT
OF GOVERNMENT TIMBER

Washington, JAN Uncle Sam g
national forests yielded an increase
of l02 per cent In tim Der last year
over the record for 1907, giving re-
turns of S849, 027.2 to the govern
ment Twenty-Five per cent of this
amount went back to the states IN
which the forests are located in lieu
of taxes, in accordance with the pro-
visions of the law. This revenue will
be added to the states fund for the
support and maintenance Of roads
and public schools.
The amount of timber cut from all
the national forests was 392. 1872, 900
feet, board measure, as against 1884,
872, 900 feet IN the pre-, ious year.
This figure for 1908 does not include
the 13l, 4S2. 900 feet given away to
settlers, schools and churches under
''free use" permits. This in crease of
1O2 per cent shows far better use
and increasing productiveness of the
forest under conservative methods of
cutting. There was a marked increase
in small sales last year resulting in
an increase of 236 per cent in the
number of sales, notwithstanding the
fact that the timber contracted for
was far less in the aggregate than in
1907.
In making timber sales the forest
service seeks small in preference to
large sales, and aims to safeguard a
supply for future needs rather than
to swell the immediate receipts.
We're it desired, the present receipts
from tim Der sales could be quickly
doubled. During the year it was
found necessary III the interest of
continued supply to restrict sales on
many forests. Nevertheless, use of
the national forests as a source of
tim Der supply was more general than
ever before.
The total receipts from timber sales
each year have been as follows: 1905,
$50, 1862; 1906, S245, 013.49; 1907,
1903, 8l3. y; 1908, sS40, OF. "a.
Payment for timber Is always re-
quired in advance. In large sales,
however, and IN small sales on occas-
ion, payment is made in installments
so arranged as to protect the govern
ment against loss without imposing
unnecessarily severe burdens upon
the purchaser. Thus the receipts of
each year represent substantially, but
not exactly, the value of the timber
sold and removed during That year.

Story of a Case

Morse told us story Of sharp prac

"He said there was a coach that
used to run between 'Nola Chucky

miles. For lunch the coach stopped
at halfway house in Tin Can, and
here a good 50-cent meal was put out
cake and pie, coffee and tea, and
all the cold meats You could mention.
''But the landlord of the half way
house had a mean little secret dlcker
with the driver whereby, as soon as

would come tor an immediate start.
So off they'd all go, grumbling.
They ID paid for 80 cents worth Of
food and only eaten, you see, about
cents worth.
But along came one day traveller
with sharp, right eye. The land
lord found this chap, some ten minu-
ties after the coach had started on
again, still tucklng pie and ham at a
terrible rate.
"Why, man, he said, you've let the
