MahnOmen County
Awarded Cup
Wins Trophy at Farm Crops Show
Held at Crookston Recently For
Largest Number of Exhibits

For having the largest number of
exhibits at the fourth annual farm
crop show held at Crookston under
the auspices Of the Minnesota Red
River Valley Development Associa
ton, in proportion to the number of
farms in the county Mahnomen coun-
ty was awarded a silver cup. Norman
county was awarded a loving cup for
having the largest attendance.
The award of cup to this county
for the largest number of exhibits
is especially gratifying, and nothing
could better attest the progressive
ness of Mahnomen county farmers
than this prize. The attendance was
not large from Mahnomen county,
but this was largely on account of
poor train connections.
Mahnomen county prizes were
awarded as follows:

Haugo, Mahnomen.

DYED SHOES ARE DANGEROUS
Blood Poisoning May Result From Alb
sorbiRg Aniline Dyes

If you dye your brown boots black
you may have to spend more money
than if you bought a dozen pairs Of
new boots. In many of these dyes are
aniline colors, which are easily ab-
sorbed by the open pores of the feet,
and the result may be very severe
type of blood poisoning.
The latest case reported is that of
a perfectly healthy young man who
wore pair of brown shoes that had
just been dyed black and were not
yet dry. In two hours he became
livid, the lips blush, the ears purple,
the nostrils retracted, the skin chilly
and the pulse 120 and weak.

great thing, too, to have a sense Of
self that goes beyond the bounds of
ones own district.

ANOTHER LARGE WHEAT CROP
Grain Should Be Stacked to Proven
Spelling During Wet Weather and
to Save the Straw.

Unless some unforeseen calamlt!
should occur, the wheat crop this veal
will exceed the phenomenal crop Of
last year. and will probably be more
than 700,00O,0O0 bushels of winter
wheat alone This means that the
threshing outfits, railroads, elevators
ETC.. will be crowded to the utmost and
a great part of the grain will stand IN
the fields for weeks. Therefore 1t
should be stacked.
Stacking will save grain and straw
which might otherwise be spoiled in
wet weather.
Stacking will put grain through a
complete sweat which will improve
quality.
Threshing from the stack requires
less help than shock threshing, which
will equalize the cost of stacking.
Stacking furnishes good storage,
with absolutely no cost, which would
prevent Cutting the market at any
one time.
The grain must be removed for early
working Of the soil. Stacking makes II
possible to pillow following harvesting
Early blowing Is one of the greatest
factors in increasing the yield. Disk
ing the land early Is the next best
thing.

FERTILIZER NEEDS or CROPS
Celery on Muck Lands Ordinarily Re

Manure 10 unexcelled.

Dr. l.. L. Van Slyke. of the Geneva

toes on good soils 500 to loco pounds
an acre of a 1910 combination, and
for the late crop about the same
amount, but with larger proper
ton OF acid phosphate. Truckers
sometimes apply as much as a ton
an acre where large and early yields
are required.
Cabbage, cauliflower and related
crops are commonly treated with
the so-called basic fertilizer, 4-S-10.
For early crops nitrogen and phos-
phorus should be readily avail
able, and 1920 to 1900 pounds an
acre is not too much unless manure
has been used very freely. Many
growers apply a ton an acre. The late
crop may well receive 900 to 1000
pounds Of the same formula, but with
a smaller proportion of nutrients In

can be Norwich or Lancashire, Bor-
der or Yorkshire, variegated, lizard.

self or foul, conveys very little to the
average mind. but leaves one marvel

creatures whose feathers are every
conceivable shade Of yellow.
One marvels at the variety OF
birds that could be kept as pets.
Finches, linnets. redpoles, tomtits.
pbins, wrens, stonechats, babblers,
redstarts, and long-tailed. short-tailed,
wag-tailed, and crested varieties OF all
of them in every size, from the minute
humming bird to the plump scarlet
cockatoo. ALIVE for popularity which ur
to the present has been the monopoly
of the canary.
And these little birds are all quite
cheap. few dollars will buy most
of them, but on the other hand $4,000
would be asked for a gorgeous Grim

this sum nearly half was expended on
the door. The latter, circular in shape.
Is eleven feet six inches In diameter
and forty-fve and one-half inches
thick. 1t is made OF armor plate, the
same as that used in the construction
of modern battleships, and will with
stand any attack. In spite of its size,
so delicately is the door poised that
II swings as nicely adjusted In its
movements as the works OF the finest
chronometers. When closed there Is
no conceivable way In which to at
tack it. IL is proof against tool or ex-
plosive, and when the door swings into
its place not even the air is able to
get in. This prevents the introduce
ton Of any explosive Of a liquid ma
ture. This wonderful safe door is
locked by twenty five-inch plungers or
bolts. each Of which is controlled by
combination locks. which in turn are
controlled by time lock having four
movements, any one Of which will per-
NIT the opening of the combination
locks. Another remarkable vault has
been completed in a bank In Toronto,
Canada. 1t consists of hollow cube
made of hardened steel and cement,
measuring thirty feet In each direc-
ton. This vault has two sections, the
upper section being for the use of the
public as a safety deposit vault, and
the lower for the storage of the banks
currency and securities. A floor of
solid steel separates the two sections.
The vault is guarded by a circular
steel door ten feet in diameter, three

forty-one tons, which is opened and
Eosed by electric motors. When all
precautionary devices are set three
different alarms are sounded by the
slightest tampering with the doors.
