THE GRANT COUNTY FAN.
Annual Meeting of the Grant County Agrieui-
tural Society," Wednesday. Thursday and
Friday, September 10, II. IS.

The seth annual meeting OF The Grant
County Agricultural Society was a sue
cess in every respect. Although the
dust was bad and the weather very
warm, goodly crowd assembled. The
gate receipts were the largest ever
known in the history of the Society.
between five and six thousand people
being present the last day. The first
day was devoted to entries and arrang-
ing exhibits. of which there were be-
tween eight and nine hundred. The
displays were the best in all depart
ments, surprising previous meetings.
A large number of stands, where con-
fectionery and refreshments found ready
sale were located upon the grounds.
THE DISPLAY.
The main building was crowded to
overlooking with articles of fancy de-
sign,-needle work, painting, hand
work of various kinds, and exhibits
from the different business places of the
city The agricultural hall. with its
fine display of mammoth vegetables,
high qualities of grains and seed and
the products of the dairy and kitchen
formed a leading feature of the fair.
The live stock display was large and
competition close. Farm machinery
and agricultural implements made a
large display.
The addition TO the fair grounds of
the strip of land east was a winning
feature. the hitching rails put up there
being filled. and an unlimited number
of teams being scattered about the
grounds.
THE RACES.
On Thursday afternoon there were
two races, green race and 240 class.
the year old colt race did not mature.

MARTINIQUE'S HORROR.

"A Recent Hurricane Devastaies the Island
from End to End, Killing Between zoo
and 800 Persons and IDjuring About
1000. r.rs
PARIS, Aug. 22.-Additional details
received here from St. Pierre, capital
of the island of Martinique, which was
visited by terrible hurricane on Tues
day night last, show that the facts
already published are not only
in no way exaggerated, but
that they did not tell the full
story of the disaster. The number of
dead was originally estimated at sixty,
with hundreds of injured. The latest
dispatches received here announce that
21S people are found to have been
killed in the coast towns alone, the
towns in the interior not having been
heard from as yet There is no doubt
that the loss of life in the interior
towns may have been as great if not
greater than in the coast towns. It is
known. however, that houses, crops and
trees from one end of Martinique to the
other have been demolished or flat
tened down beyond hope of recovery.
The loss to the coffee and sugar plant:
'ers will be very great
The death list by towns, as forwarded
by Gov. Casse up to date, is as follows:
st. Pierre. 81; Morne Rouge, 2s; Fond
st. Denis, Z; Precheurs, 6; Carbet 4; st.
Joseph, 20; Marin, s; Vauchin, 10;
Lamentin, 90; Francois, %; Robert, 2s;
Riviere Pilote, Z; miscellaneous, IS.
But these numbers do not include the
deaths in isolated places, interior towns
or upon plantations, with which no
communication can be had at present.
Perhaps rough estimate of 800 killed
and 1000 injured will about cover the
ground

Keep Your Tools Well oiled.

One gallon of linseed oil will cost so
to 80 cents. 1t is worth $40 to $50 to
the tools that you put it on. Put on
with brush, as you would paint. Put
it on your wagons, plows, hoes, forks,
spades, cultivators, drills, reapers-al
kinds of tools and vehicles. 1t pays too
much to be neglected. We cannot af-
ford to not do it. Do it about twice
this summer and you will find that it
keeps tools in much better fix. Paint
your gates. l have some forks and hoe
handles that have been in constant use
for ten years and they are better than
the new handles we get now because
they have been oiled all the time. do
it myself; l don't have it done. If you
want anything done, do it. hope

Number Over 100 - Thirty-Six Bodies
Taken from the Ruins, and Eighty-Eight
Persons Are Missing.
New YORK, Aug. 25.-Men were
kept at work all day at the ruins of the
building which collapsed on Park place
last Saturday. At midnight the thirty
sixth body had been recovered from the
debris. Of the bodies taken there
twenty have been identified by means
of articles of clothing. Eighty-eighs are
missing. Five of the bodies recovered
Monday were those of young girls
They were found huddled together in a
vault under the sidewalk, which had
been used as resting-room for the
women employed in the bronze mixing
shop of Louis Rosenfeld. The
scenes which followed the recov-
cry of these bodies were heart
rending. They were all identified
on the sidewalk few feet away
from the fallen building and in view
of thousands of curious people. There
are immense masses of the ruins yet to
be overhauled, and it will be Friday OF
Saturday before the hunt for the dead
is finished

to Il of an inch below the surface,
if the ground is soft. The period
of development from egg to the adult
form is from 10 to II days, and it is
estimated that there may be as many
as generations during the time when
the insects occur Il e., from May Is
until September Is or later.
X. o. dust will kill the adult flies if
it touches them. 1t may be sprinl1led
through the hair of the cattle with adj
vantage, for the flies will not remain
where it is long enough to bite; but it
must be renewed every 2 or 8 days
to prove effective. Kerosene emul-
sion is also fatal to the flies. The
most succe ssful method is to destroy
the larvae. This may be done by throw
ing a spadeful of lime upon each cow
dung, and as the cattle usually congre-
gate at some particular place during
the heat of the day, when most of The
eggs are deposited, it is comparatively
easy to destroy most of the larvae by
this method. Orange Judd Farmer.

PIG PEN POINTERS.

For tape worms in hogs, give no
food for twenty -four hours, then give
half an ounce to an ounce of spirits of
turpentine according to the size of the
animal. Dilute the dose with a half
pint of milk and give no food for twelve
hours following.
IT is not the amount Of greasy water
that goes from the kitchen to the slop
barrel but the quality that makes the
pigs thrive. The quality differs very
much from day to day, and should be
made even by an addition of ground
feed of some kind. .- ...
AS A matter of convenience, do not
slop the pigs on the banks of some
small stream, unless you are perfectly
willing that some one else'st farm
should grow rich at your expense.
There are farmers in every community
who will follow this course year after
year. rttr .,,. ..s,4.tay
If you have PASTURE fields for the
pigs by all means drive to them as soon
as they have their feed morning and
evening. Do not allow them to remain
in the dry lots over night. We know
of no better way to top-dress the
pasture fields than by the voidings of
pigs highly fed with bran and ship
stuff.
THE. supposed existing scarcity of
hogs is the most promising indication
that those having hogs to sell this fall
and winter will get good price for
them. Were hogs as plenty as one year
ago there would be little encourage
ment for farmers to turn their corn
into pork. We hope last years expert
ence will not come to US again.
IF you have fed your hogs for years
gone by on a hill side, because the mud.
cobs and voidings would work down
hill and wash away, leaving a compar-
atively clean place for feeding, try to
change this wasteful way of doing, and
save this fertility to the land 1t is
well to remember that the land needs
feeding as well as theihogs, if you
would have fat crops.
| SPEAKING of healthfuIness:j l have
never lost half a dozen hogs from dis
ease, and have never lost hog from
cholera in Kansas, and have been in
the business sixteen years. If you want
to throw away your corn, or keep a
hog for the use of him, as fellow once
said when he made nothing out of his
hogs, just put a lot of hogs in dry lot
and give them corn and water the year
round. d.-Colman's Rural World

Preparing to Move the Grain.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Aug. 24.-The
positive assurance that the grain crop
of the northwest will be tremendous
has inspired railroads having lake
terminals here to great efforts to han
die wheat, and the Great Northern put
on 500 additional cars and ten new loco
motives The Northern Pacific added
fifty new engines and 1,4OO new ears,
and the Omaha put on fourteen new
locomotives and 500 new cars in the
territory traversed by the road. The
crop is increased from 10000, 900 last
year to over lOO,OOO,000 bushels this
year.

The HORN ElYl

Description of the Troublesome insect
and How to Fight It.
The horn fly (see our illustration) is
native of Europe, but has been found
in the eastern part of the United States
for the past four or five years, and has
proved very troublesome especially in
the states along the Atlantic. Though
1t has not appeared in the west it is
well to be prepared for its attacks. Ac-
cording to Prof III. Osborn in Bulletin
10 of the Iowa experiment station, the
insect received its name from the habit
of clustering upon the horns of cattle
to rest. The flies are scarcely x of an
inch in length and closely resemble
small horse flies. 1t is in the adult
form that they are troublesome. They
alight upon the cattle, especially along
the back, puncture the skin, and feed
upon the blood. The damage they do
consists not only in the loss of blood but
in the irritation which their presence
causes. The female deposits her eggs
during the warmer hours of-the day in
freshly dropped COW manure, in which
the larvae. upon Matching, bury them
selves to feed and grow. When ready
to transform they descend to the earth
below and bury themselves from Il

OUR ABSOLUTE WEALTH.
A Census Bolictln Giving the Assessed
Valuation of Property in the United

Census Boiletin Giving the Assessed
Valuation of Property In tie United
States.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25-The census
bureau has issued bulletin on the as.
sessed valuation of real and personal
property of the several states and ter
ritories The valuations are shown for
the years 1890 and 1880, with the ex-
ception of Michigan, which ia
for 1856, and of Arkansas, Della
ware, Iowa, Mississippi, New
Mexico, Washington and Wyoming,
which are for 1882 The bulletin shows
that the assessed valuation of all prop
erty has increased from $40, 9Oa, 993, 543
in 1880 to S24 249 $50 SO4 in 1890, an in
crease during the decade of So, SAG, $780,
2o1, an amount equivalent to the true
value of all property as returned by the
United States census in 1850 Isl, 1885,
7s0, 22s).
Should it be found upon the compile
tion of the inquiry in relation to the
true value of all property in the United
States that the same relation exists in
1890 between assessed valuation and
true valuation as existed in 1880,
the absolute wealth of the United
States, according to the eleventh
census, may be estimated at
s62,61o. 900, 900, or nearly $1,000 per
capita, as against S514 per capita in
1850, $3.50 per capita in 1870 and Ss7O
per capita in 1880. The final returns
showing the absolute wealth of
the country will necessarily be
among the last publications of
this office, as completed data for
the calculation are not available un-
til after the inquiries relating to agri-
culture and manufactures have been
| finished. The state of Illinois shows
an apparent decrease of $50, 900, 142, be-
cause the state board of equalization
declares that in 1880 the assessed value
was so per cent. and in 1890 only 25 per
cent. of the true value. Among the
states showing an increase of assessed
