specimens of various products, and
the collection of the EaFioqs articles

fair a success as an exhibition of
the resources of tho country.
Select some good animal, give it
little attention in the way of feed,
and care, and bring it into the fair
for exhibition True the pecuniary
return may not be much, but the sat
isfactioa of knowing that your horse
or COW Is the best of its kind in the
county, is something. Boys if the

le, do it yourself. The premium list
Is not yet made out, and a meeting
will be held for that purpose in the
