Of taking spawn for the State hatchery.
The commissioners have been making
especial efforts to make Greensboro Pond an
attractive resort to sportsmen, but receive
very little support from the citizens of
Greensboro who do not see the benefits ac-
cruing to themselves, should the commits
sIoners carry out their plans.
Soon after the net was stolen, 2l0 spawn

Salem Jail to await the arrival of reuusi

examination took up considerable time to-
day. Nellie told practically the same story
as her mother had as to what William had
told her of the burglaries committed and
contemplated and She, like her mother. was
put through severe cross examination by
Judge Slade. The effect of their evidence
has made it appear that Wilson was the
principal in the Williams burglary and that
the BY boys were led into it by him. The
rest of the day was taken up in the admis-
sion of loss interesting but still important

as to give the farmers some idea of the bet !

Prof. Hills opened the work of the
board by a lecture on "The wastes of
the dairy" Cows not properly housed
and properly fol will derive large
benefit from warming the water they have
to drink Well housed cows warmly sta

churn Different cream requires different
temperatures. An intelligent dairyman
will find out for himself at what tempcra-

What is the best food to give COWS for
milk and butter? That question requires
haf-day's talk to answer. Poor COWS will not
pay for their feed and the more good food
YOU give them the greater Your waste. W lth
good cows you can give good food. Good

AFTEENOON SESSION.

The subject OF "Maple sugar making"
was opened by j :. Dodge of lrashureh
Maple sugar making ~ a business has made
great advance within the past quarter of
n century. I'm order to make tho best uual
ity of goods We must have the best possible
implements, both for gathering and evapo-
rating the sap. My own preference is for
galvanized iron or tin for spoutS buckets
and evaporators, Perfect cleanliness is Il
necessity to the making of perfect sugar,
Sap must be gathered often and boiled into
syrup as soon rs possible after it has run
from the tree. Put your syrup or sugar into
good, clean, uniform and convenient pack
ages and you can never overstock the mar
ket with good class of maple syrup and
sugar. II is as easy to make a good quality
and get 10 cents for it as to make black
quality of sugar and get less than one-half
Of that sum. 1t pays to take pains aud make
