IN THE EXHIBIT TENTS.

Among a group of tents toward the
center of the grounds is a noise like
work. It's the buzz of the machinery.
There is the putting of the traction
engine and steam thresher, the sub
dued hum of the tanning mills, and
the whiz of the cream separators be-

make a layman gasp in wonder at the
marvellous works of man and the me-
chanic to grow enthusiastic over the
future of his work and the young far

SECOND CROP STRAWBERRIES

Mrs. NJ. c. Hamaker, living about
six blocks west of Washburn college
has on her place about a quarter of
an acre of strawberry plants. Last
spring they bloomed and a good crop
of Strawberries was gathered from
the vines. Now the vines are COW
cred with the white blossoms that
one sees in the months of May and
June, and are bearing fruit again.
If the weather man will only per-
nit some good sunshine and refrain
from handing out a frost, Mrs. Ha-
maker will in about week or two
have at least two or three gallons of
the luscious fruit to be gathered. She
says that in the spring there was an
extra good crop and now there are
blossoms and lots of the green fruit
all over the patch. Mrs. Hamaker
brought some of the berries and a few
of the blossoms in to the State Jour-
nal office, to show they were not ship

The Two Anuels,

The following allegory is told among
the Turks:
Every man has two guardian angels,
one on his right shoulder and one on
his left. In doing good the angel on
the right shoulder notes it down and
sets a seal upon it, for what is done
is done forever. When evil is COM
hitted the angel on the left shoulder
writes it down, but he waits until mid
night before he seals it. If by that
time the man bows his head and says,
Gracious Allah, ! have sinned; for
give me-" the angel blots out the fault,
but If not he seals it at midnight, and
then the angel on the right shoulder
weeps.

best results in early lambs from Il
flock of Hampshires M or two CROSSES
with q Dorset ram are desirable.
The Dorsets-horned. with white
faces-are mostly valued for their tend
ency to early breeding. and for that
reason the use Of the rams on other
breeds has become very general. The
Dorset ram will impart this character
isuc very surely on almost any breed,
even on scrubs. but it must be remem-
bered that this quality does not be-
come fully developed in the ewes of
any other breed until the cross is re-
peated in the second generation. To
obtain this advantage it is not neces-
sary. therefore. to start up a flock Of
Dorset ewes: it is not even desirable.
because it implies the loss of the black
points. and the crossbred ewes are
generally the hardest. The Oxford
Downs also have this peculiar faculty,
though not so fully developed. and
their coarseness makes them less de-
sirable as sfres.

TO DETECT BAD MONEY.
New Invention For Telephones and
Slot Machines.

Counterfeit and spurious coins no
longer will pass in telephone pay sta
lions or in slot machines. if an inven-
ton which it's originator has exhibited
to the telephone companies and which
he recently displayed at the secret
service bureau ard the treasury de-
partment at Washington does in the
final tests all that he claims for it.
The telephone companies, probably
the greatest sufferers from counter
felt money. are preparing. it is said. to
make a thorough test of the new ma
chine. In Brooklyn a few months ago
the telephone companies, it is said.
found $4,000 slug limitations of five
cent pieces in their pay telephones in
thirty days. Similar conditions exist
elsewhere. 1t is said. and with other
forms of pay machines.
The present invention. which de-
ponds on the micro-metric lock system.
can be adjusted. it is said. to a one
ten thousandth part of an inch. The
machine has two exits. n for good
money and another which let's out
counterfeit money without ringing a
bell. as would the good money.
