PRIZES FOR CORN, ETC.
BY HOWARD ELLIOTT

President Elliott of the Northern Pa
ci6c Railway has already offered q prize
of $500 in gold for the best ten boxes of
apples grown in the American North
west this year and exhibited at the
Northwestern Products Exposition, Min
neapolis. November IL to % inclusive.
He now offers. as additional and sup
Elementary prizes. " trophy cups to
be awarded at the same exposition.
One cup will be given for the best
bushel of Dent corn, and the other for
the best samples of forage plants grown
this year in any of the six states-Min-
nesota. North Dakota, Montana, Idaho,
Washington, and Oregon-traversed by
the Northern Pacific Railway and taking
part in the 1912 Exposition. The North
ern Pacific is to become the possessor of
the prize winning exhibits.
Mr.. Elliott declares that the possibil-
tiles of corn raising in the Northwest
have not as yet been touched by the
farmers. Great triumphs are in store for
those who will persistently and scien-
~tlfcally engage in this work and assist
in extending the corn belt northward.
and it is to encourage proper efforts in
this line that Mr.. Elliott has offered
these trophies for the prize winning ex-
hibits at the Northwestern Products Ex-
position.
Here is an opportunity that ought not
to be neglected to show to the world
that the Northwest is right in it when
forage plants and corn are subjects for
discussion.

Treatment of Animals.

BY Walter A. AverllI. 27is Central Boule-
ward. Red Side.
Animals have as much right TO live and
be as we'll treated as human beings. but
some people think differently. They
think that brute animals have no feel
ings and can work all the time without
rest. But animals have to have as much
water. food and rest as anybody else.
Take for instance the draught animals
No doubt you have seen a poor. skinny,
broken down animal struggling with a
heavy load Sometimes the owner Of the
horse is very poor. but provides the best
he can for his horse. but in the majority
OF cases the owner Is cruel, selfish
tyrant.
Still other horses used by richer people
to draw the family are very cruelty
treated. although the owners mean TO do
right. They want to be in style and
reign their horses heads up high. This
shortens the horses life and also makes
II hard for the horses TO pull their load
up steep hill
They also let their horses 40 a long
time without water. which they shouldn't
do. When water is available they ought
TO give their horses a drink whenever
the animals want IT,
Dogs and other animals should he
treated with as much kindness as you
would want TO be given. OF course. II a
dog or any other animal attacks you. why
take your part the same as II you were
fighting human.

Blowing Soap Bubbles.

A pipe and a howl and piece Of soap
never seem to lose their fascination for
young people. Here are a few sugges-
lions which children can follow with the
implements already mentioned and some
straws a funnel or two. and n sheet OF
glass about twelve inches square.
Take a bowl Of warm water and rub
into II a piece Of good. pure soap until a
strong lather is formed. Now skim off
every particle OF lather from the surface
with a spoon and proceed to test the so
luton. First blow a bubble about six
inches In diameter from the bowl OF a
clay pipe, then dip your finger into the
soap solution and try to thrust the former
into tho bubble. II the bubble will stand
this ordeal without bursting the solution
Is ready for use; II not. more soap must
be rubbed in until the above test can be
successfully carried through.
As TO the bubble blowing itself. success
depends mainly upon the Observance Of
two rules. The first is: Never stir or
shake up the solution when once made
The second. Always smear literally with
soapy mixture everything from or upon
which a bubble is to be blown.
A few bubble tricks may now be de-
scribod. First. the experimenter may at
tempt to form a string OF bubbles-blow-
ing one with the pipe. throwing It into
the air, blowing n second. catching the
first on It. and on until the chain col
lapses.
With practice. a chain of five or six,
or even more. bubbles may be formed

Z lots OF good things to eat and We took
some money from the treasury to rent
two big tents. so there was no reason why
we should not have a good time.
We started off before daylight on what
promised to be fine day. Everybody In
the crowd was as happy as could be
and willingly carried their heavy load.
We had gone about tire miles when we
came to a small wood which was our

grove situated In about the center Of the
wood and about one and one-half blocks
square.

had everything where We could get It

hook because they bit like hungry flies

had enough fish for supper. and then
some. There is no doubt but what We all
