ENCOURAGE HORSE BREEDERS
State Fair Board Will Aid the
Rural Exhibitors. - =
From MONDAYS Daily. DE- .--...

George Atchison, superintendent of
of the speed department of the
Minnesota State Agricultural society
has returned from St. Paul, where
he attended a meeting Of the state
fair board, which lasted three days.
A large amount of business was
transacted, Including the trial of
Burgess & Lukyn for the alleged
exhibition of the horse Jupiter Orme,
us Il two-year old and winning prizes
with him, when in fact the horse
was four years old at the time. The
firm of Robert Burgess & Lukyn
was found guilty of this charge and
in the future. .-s-
Mr.. Miller of st. Peter farmu-
lated a plant to have the society
furnish ribbons for colt shows in
the country districts to encourage
breeding of better draft colts and
to satisfy the small breeder and
encourage him to show. Another
class was put in the premium list
this year fer the first time four
exhibitions at the state fair, and
another will consist of an owner
that has never exhibited single lots
at any state fair or fat stock show.
This will bar professional breed
ers from competing in the class
and give the little breeder a class
of his own. There will also be given
special prizes for boys, for a corn
exhibit which will appear later. A
large amount Of routine work was
transacted

Drilling With Diamonds.

A diamond bit for rock drilling is
quite an expensive article. Its value,
however. will undergo fluctuations, de-
pendent upon the price OF the dia-
monds. Perhaps $500 is a fair value
for a bit. The diamond used is ex-
ceedingly hard-harder than those
usually used as jewelry. Their carat
price is considerable, averaging, say.
$50 carat The diamonds used will
weigh from one to two carats, so that
eight have value ranging from $3.50
to 1850, on the average The loss Of
q bit means so many diamonds gone
and may lead to difficulty with the
hole. The diamond is not tough, but
brittle. It will withstand heavy
pressure If applied evenly and with
out shock. 1t can readily be seen that
drilling through seamy rock may be-
come quite unfavorable. II there Is
much quartz present the abrasion may
become excessive. Under ordinary
conditions, however. the wear on the
diamonds, while considerable, is by
no means OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Mag
