Duluth.-Duluth is to have an az
ricultural school and a demonstration
farm located near the city on a street
car line soon to be built This school
will differ materially from the other
agricultural schools in Minnesota, in
order to meet the conditions that are
peculiar to the northeastern part of
the state.
The school, which was authorized
by the last legislature, has an ap-
priation of $4,000 for the purchase of
land and equipment in the next two
years. The farm, consisting of 240
acres, has already been purchased at
a cost of $4,000, and is in process of
development. The plans for the ar
rangement and conduct of the farm
were made by Prof. Andrew Boss, of
the College of Agriculture at St. An
thony Park, and, without material
change, will undoubtedly be adopted
by the board of regents of the State
University.
Four Divisions Planned.
The plan, as shown on the diagram
herewith, provides for the division of
the farm into four separate divisions;
a dairy and stock farm of $50 acres,
the stock TO consist of dairy cows,
swine and sheep; cooperative
creamery, sanitary milk plant and
home dairy; truck farm of ten acres,
with greenhouse and hotbed equip
ment, and a twenty-acre combination,
poultry, orchard and small fruit farm.
The remaining land is to be divided
into from one to five-acre homecroft
tracts, to be developed by families
employed at the farm or elsewhere.
The entire farm, including all the
units, is to be supervised and directed
by general superintendent trained in
agricultural science, with a broad,
practical working knowledge of farm
work and rural affairs. The dairy
farm is to be under the immediate
management of practical farmer and
dairyman capable of demonstrating to
those seeking knowledge any phase of
dairy management and production.
Creamery to Aid Farmers.
The creamery is to be operated sepa-
rately from the dairy farm by an ex-
pert creamery man under the super
vision of the superintendent. 1t will
be the aim of the creamery" not only
to provide means for handling the
milk produced on the dairy farm, but

TOWN MAKES A FORTUNE

HERE is one result of the floods that
recently came near drowning out the
inha bitants of Norwich which does not
seem to have been mentioned in any of
the accounts of the city's plight sent to
the United States and that is the prac-
teal ruin, for the present at any rate, of
the immense canary breeding industry
which for many years has flourshed
here.
Probably in no other place in the world
is the rearing of these birds carried on
on SO big a scale 1t IS at Norwich

there. Most of these. moreover, are poor

Norwich amount to over 100000 year
From ten to twenty thousand birds have
been exported from the east anelian
town every year the ma iority of them
going to the United States, and a few
to Mexico. Pedro Alvarado. the richest
man in Mexico. has thousands of these
birds flying about his palace and perch

were not from the heart.
There are many evidences, such as mis-
treatment of priests who accompanied
his expeditions and no reference to Christ

1t was shown that Columbus associated
with Jews largely after he went to Lis

Finally there comes Mrs Harriet Chal-

ing evidence that the bones of Columbus
still rest in Santo Domingo City and that
the magnificent tomb in Seville, Spain,
really contains only the bones Of the dis

History has always credited Columbus
with having been born in Genoa and
with being an Italian, merely upon the
dScoyerers assertion that these were
facts. Senor de la Riega began doubling
this contention after an exhaustive
search through the writings of Column

were in Spanish. even when in the form
of letters written to Italian friends.
Upon this clue the historian made search

claimed acquaintance with the dis

never visited Genoa in the days of his
great successes or afterward as it seems
natural that one attaining the fame
would 'be inclined to do if this were
really his boyhood horne.
Having thus become suspicious of
Genoa as the birthplace of the discoverer

clue to another birthplace. He had not
far to search. 1t is duly recorded that
