STEVENS COUNTY
IN THE CORN BELT
CORN EXHIBIT THE BEST
EVIDENCE.
Every Farmer in Stevens County
Should Send an Entry to the
Exposition at Morris.

The attention of the whole North
west will center at Morris in Decem-
ber. West Central Minnesota has
made the assertion that she can grow
corn. This assertion coming from
region heretofore un. noted as a corn
section must be backed by facts. The
one unanswerable argument for such
an assertion is the corn itself.
Naturally all attention will be
turned to Stevens county and elabor-
ate preparations and the money being
expended for the coming Exposition.
There is only one way to do this,
and that is fer every farmer in Ste
vens county who has grown any corn
this year to go out to his crib and
select out one or more samples of
corn and send them to Morris. Do
this whether you expect to win prize
or not. 1t is the quantity that will
make the showing. The committee
for Stevens county have set the goal
at 1000 entries for this county.
Select out and send to Morris
The best single ear.
The best ten ears.
The best thirty ears.
The best bushel (12O ears).
There will be no entry fees charged
and all EXHIBITS will be returned to
the exhibitors. The corn may be
shipped by express to the Corn and
Alfalfa Exposition, Morris. or il
brought in personally it may be left
at the School of Agriculture, at Mr..
Hawks office or at the Citizens Bank.
All samples should have with them
the name and address of the exhibitor.
Upon arrival they will be properly
entered and exhibited.
A silver cup will be given to the
Commissioner District in Stevens
county that has the largest number Of
exhibits. Every farmer should make
this a personal matter and have q
bushel or more of his best corn here
at the show. 1t is the one granC
opportunity of Stevens county ant
we ought to make the most of it

BY the end Of the fourteenth century
the corset, which was then described as
"a stiff, unnatural DISBURSEMENT" came
exactly to the waist. IT was cut and
fixed with laces. both at the front and
back, and was made of all sorts Of ma
terials, and generally bOrdered with fur.
Marie d'Anjou, the wife of Charles VII
Of France wore a corset laced in front
with the sides open. so that the garment
beneath could be seen. So magnificent
was the material of which these corsets
were made that a sumptuary law was
actually passed in the reign of Edward
" that no woman under the rank of a
knights wife or daughter might wear
wrought corsets," while another clause
of the same edict prohibited women un-
der the rank of wife or daughter of a
lord from wearing "corsets worked with
gold"
In the fifteenth century. when Spain
was mistress OF the world and set the

All soft fruits, like raspberries and
blackberries, should be boiled as little as
possible. Because of their small size H.
takes but a few moments 10 sterilize
them. Longer cooking Is therefore not
necessary. and II is detrimental as well,
for, as in the case OF the strawberry
every moment spent in cooking is in
furious to the favor.
Raspberries may be cooked in a light
syrup in the cans One old rule calls for
a cupful of water and a cupful OF sugar
boiled together for ten minutes ana tnen
added TO a quart of the berries. Ten
minutes more boiling is allowed AFTER
the fruit is i'm the cans. This rule is an
economical one. but as the juices OF the
berries are more or less diluted with the
watery syrup II is not as rich as the time
honored German method Of preserving
them. From the mass of fruit 10 be pre-
served a small quantity is taken out ana
the Juice is extracted from II. This juice
is used in place Of water in preparing the
syrup. which can be poured over the fruit
either in the cans or in big preserving
kettle. The fruit should be cooked only
long enough 10 sterilize II.
\ simple method of canning raspoerries
which requires no syrup previously pre-
pared is the following: Fill quart jars
with raspberries that have been carefully
looked over, and TO each jar add cupful
of granulated sugar. Fill up the spaces
around the fruit with water and let
water boil around the jars in the usual
, way for five minutes. Seal as usual. The
flavor OF the fresh fruit is preserved to
remarkable extent by this simple process
but the fruit preserve is not as rich as
when syrup. especially a syrup pre-
viously prepared from the berry juice is
used.
