STREAM CHANGED Il. COURSE
North River in One N ghi Moved Its
Mouth Three Niles to the
NorthWaTd.

There is a stream in this state
called the North river. 1t starts in
pond near Hanson and runs TO the sea
at Scituate. 1t is ten miles by air line
from Hanson to Scituate and the river
is 40 miles long
This river is probably the most re
markable body of water, barring the
Dead sea, on this footstOOl anu has
stood more abuse and bad Language
than the Chicago river When the tide
is coming in the river runs upstream
and not only that, but the upper part
of it, which is fresh water, also runs
up, and the spectacle of a fresh wa
ter river beating it up hill is alone
enough to call attention to itself. Bu'
there is much more to it than that.
This North river is noted for being
the scene of the last Indian raid on
the coast settlements 1t is notable
for having given birth to the ship &C,
lumbia, whose captain discovered
and named the Columbia river ano
was the first American vessel to cir
cumnavigate the world 1t is notori-
Gus for having suddenly changed its
mind on its course on the night OF
November 27, 1898, when it moved its
mouth three miles to the northward,
presented the town of Marshfield with
a deep harDor, killed three men and
converted about 100000 acres OF prime
meadow land into salt marsh.
But the chief thing about this river
is its crOokedness. This river is so
crooked that it double crosses itself.
If you don't believe it go and see.
There is one place in Hanover where
by making three loops the river move:
toward the sea for distance OF al
most fifty feet and meanders about
for Is miles in doing it.-Boston Tran
script

will be seen that this method calls for
some extra work that many may re-

of the labor charge, on an acre basis,
shows the extra labor charge will be
around $1.54 for dry land farming, as
compared with the old style In
years when plenty of moisture pre-
walls perhaps some of this charge
could be cut out, with just as good
results. At the present price OF
wheat, this would represent one and
one-half bushels of wheat. During

as described above, 1 feel sure that
the difference in yield per acre would
have been far in excess of the above
figures. In many cases, the differ
ence between a good crop and fail

to travel over smooth surfaces,

rocks, deep bitches. or rough

BOYS JUDGING CONTEST
At THE STATE FAIR
Prizes Offered for Greatest Efficiency
in Passing on Live Stock,
Wheat and Corn.


The ability to correctly measure, by
inspection, the comparative value of
each individual animal in a group of
horses, cattle or swine, and to assign
to each it's place in the order of actual
merit, regardless of snowy appear
ances, is each year receiving greater
recognition as essential to the train
ing of the agriculturist. Indeed, on
such ability will depend, in large
measure, the degree of his success in
the conduct of his farm Without it,
he is at the mercy of chance-the
easy prey of INSCRIPTIONS men who
know his deficiencies.
Equally important is the ability to
measure correctly the value of differ
ent samples of corn and wheat for
seed On it depends the size of the
crops to be gathered.
These considerations have moved
the management of the Minnesota
State Fair, this year, to institute
Boys Judging Contest, in which eleven
prizes, aggregating 5000, will be
awarded to those boys, under twenty
one, showing the greatest proficiency
in Judging live stock, wheat and corn
The prizes are in the form of scholar
ships in the Schools of Agriculture at
st. Anthony Park Crookston and Nor
ris-the winner to choose his school,
They range in value from S25 to 500.

BY CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS
Farmers Children Enjoy Advantages
Equal TO That of City.

Since the farmers contribute more
than any other class to the wealth OF
the state, it is but fair that the state
should provide for their children the
best that there is in the way of educa-
tional facilities. This the state of
Minnesota is endeavoring to do
through the liberal provision it now
makes for state aid to consolidated
schools, where the children of almost
every rural community may enjoy ad-
vantages equal to any in the city
schools If any such community shall
hereafter lack such advantages, it will
usually have only its own non-progres-
siveness to blame.
