self Mr.. Jordan jumped on its back
"The turtle swan for deep wa
ter and divcd. unseatng its rider.
Coming to the surface il again
struck at him viciously. Unable to
swim away Jordan again climbed to
the turtles back, and using his feet
as i ruddrr and holding TO the Hip
ptrs. he strored il toward shore.
Meantime, Miss Alice Conner,
sefing his PLIGHT from the shore,
summoned two Japanese servants,
who rushed out with a clothes line,
forming a nooso. which they got
over the turtles head. after a strlc-
gle in which both were bitten. The
turtle measured five and ii half feet
in diameter.

are that this department will be
larger this year than ever before.
Southern Minnesota is becoming
quite fruit center and apples,
plums and grapes grow in abun-
dance. Apples are usually so plenti-
full that many farmers and horticul-
turalists are provided with small
cider presses, similar to those own
ed by eastern farmers where fruit
of all kind thrives. Anywhere In
Southern Minnesota that you find
progressive farmer there you are
certain to see a nice apple orchard.
Although this section is not adapted
to the raising of pears. occasionally
you see few trees that bear well,
and the fruit grows to maturity. The
first pears exhibited at the Mankato
fair six years ago, were two raised
in Mankato. They were of the Bart
lett variety and while not ripe at
fair time, were large and fine flavor
ed. The pears were exhibited by Ole
Andengaard and were grown on.

street. The trees was planted by
NJ d. Fritz in 1893, who set it
out with other fruit trees This tree
grew week, but did not bear until
seven years ago. The following year
the tree bore heavily, but later died
The crop of plums is unusually
large this year and some apple or
chards, protected from the early
spring frost are yielding heavily The
apple crop, however, is not as large
