THE DAILY REGISTER wishes TO &C.
knowledge its obligation, not only to the
business men of the town for their lib
eral patronage, but also to the men,
bers Of the Post and all others connect
ed with the Fair, for their valuable
assistance in the collection of news and
for their uniform kindness. All of
them have helped us in many ways,
not the least of which was the evident
good will which has everywhere met
US. We anticipated the work of the
week with dread, but we have found
it a pleasure. We return our sincerest
thanks to those who have made it
such, with our best wishes for a happy
New Year to each.

ON THE WHOLE.
All things considered, the Fair has
been even more successful than could
have been reasonably expected. The
close times were against. it, although
the receipts show that those who at
tended spent money very freely. The
greatest drawback has been the wealth
err, which since the first three nights,
has been such as to utterly forbid the
attendance of anyone from the country,
and to make it very disagreeable even
for those living in town to get out.
There is little doubt that if the wealth.
er had been favorable, the net receipts
would have been fully as great as last
year. AS it is. the Post will clear
handsome sum, although it will not be
possible to state the exact amount un-
} til after the ball and banquet to
night.
But if the amount cleared is not 81
great as last year it is some consolation
to reflect that the Fair has not taker
as much work as 1t did then. During
: its progress those upon whom the bur
den has fallen have probably worked
as hard as any one did last year. Blu
it was put upon its feet in the frs
place with very much less effort. Th'
, main reason for this is that the worl
! was better systematized so that all o
it did not fall OH two or three pairs o
shoulders.
1t may be some consolation to TIL
:. Post also, if they need any, to know
that they have won the gratitude Q
: all citizens, all young citizens certain
ly, by providing an extremely pleas
ant place to spend these dull evenings
There has been singular dirth of socia
entertainments in the town during tn
: past three or four months, and the ia
e cilities for social intercourse furnishe
by tn air were eagerly welcomed
1t might he added also that they hav
been thoroughly improved. We hav
: seldom seen people enjoy themselve
0 better than have the company tina
# have assembled each evening in tn
|, Opera House
I In short whether or not quite as niue
money was realized as we had hope
or expected, no one, we think, regret
!. that the G.. Affair was held, and
o will be again ready to do what the
IS can to make a success of another Oh
" should it be thought advisable to hol
= one next winter.
The managers will make full stat
ment next week of receipts and e
( penditures.

UTILIZING WHAT IS LEFT.
The Wastes on the Farm-What May Be
Turned Into Manure.

The Wastes on the Farm-What May Be
Turned Into Manure.
Manure is, and should always be, an
object on the farm, and in order to Sc
cure this everything that can be used,
either as an absorbent or to increase the
quantity, should be utilized. Even with
the best of pains there is considerable
let go to waste that might under differ
ent circumstances be saved, yet a little
care taken will often add materially to
the quantity without making the cost
very much greater We burn up and
destroy too much which if saved and
used, either as an absorbent in the
stables or barnyard, or applied in the
manure heap, would add not only to It's
bulk but also to its value.
With the uncertainties of the seasons
it is always the safest plan to make sure
of sufficient supply of rough feed for
all the stock. Wheat or oat straw or
corn fodder should be secured not only
to make a good supply of roughness,
but also to furnish good supply of lit
ter. | dislike using corn stalks in the
stable, either feeding or using them for
litter, unless they are cut up fine, as
they are difficult to handle after they
are trodden down But in the feedlots
or barnyards they can be fed out to a
good advantage and can be used very
probably.
Too many farmers burn up whatever
surplus fodder or straw they have left
in the spring when they could be used to
a good advantage as an absorbent.
Simply allowing the fodder or straw
piles to rot down is very poor way OF
receiinvg any special benefit from them.
Alone rotted they contain but little plant
food, but by using as an absorbent they
can be made very valuable.
Many farmers who are very careful to
save ali the solid manure fail to take any
especial pains to save the liquid. Oh
course when it is best to have youl
stable floors tight, with cutters and
cellar to hold all the liquid manure, but
this is not always possible, and the next

YOUTHS' DEPARTMENT.
THE CATCHER CAUGHT.

he story of Little Boy Who Went Fish
ing.
A little boy, one pleasant day,
Toward creek pursued his way;
He kept the school-house out of sight,
TOOkiflg behind Outlines in fright,
And in one hand, as on he stole,
He cIutched willow fishing-pole.
Down nv the meadow swift he passed
Until he reached the creek at last;
Then. with no thought to mar of school,
He cast his line into pool,
And, with smile of calm delight,
He waited for the fish TO bite.
The moments glided swiftly by:
The sun o'erhead was getting high;
Rut not a fish would deign to look
The while at his seductive hook;
Though hungry insects DER his head
Bit condescendingly instead
A frog upon lily-pad
Kept grinning at the luck he had.
The smile contracted to a frown;
The little boy he sat him down,
And'there, upon the streams soft brink,
His drOWSy eyes began 10 punh'
Till. with his head upon his breast,
He sank back in the sedge to rest;
When suddenly he heard s'swish,"
And from the water rose fish
A fish of such prodigious size
That it would make thousand fries
A fish of which a troop might dine
With a gigantic rod and line!
And in gruff tones the monster cried,
The while the little boy 1t eyed:
"By no barbed hook can we be caught;
We're not SO foolish as you thought;
"The tables have been turned on you,
And we can go a-t1shfng too!
"This very night shall all enjoy
A choWder made of little boy!
And. looking hideously grim,
The creature cast its line at him.
The truant watched the hook descend,
While every hair stood up on end;
Till. with q twist expert and neat,
It caught him by his trousers seat;
And then, with juvenile despair,
He dangled wildly in the air!
And while, with comp1acent grin,
His scaly captor drew him in,
A piercing scream the silence broke
And then-the little boy awoke!
And, though of fish there was no trace,
Fresh danger threatened in its place;
With look foreboding little good,
Before him his stern father stood!
