THE FARMERS AND THD WORLDS FAIR

THE FARnEhS ANU "OhLU AK.
 Most of us who go to Chicago will go to get vacation and see the show. One might as we'll have lived in another gen. eration as to live in 1893 and not see the Columbian exposition. In the maSni- tude and architectural beauty of the buildings, and the exhibits from every corner of the globe, this fair will not only outrank anything this country ever saw but anything the world ever saw, and when the fair proper has been glanced over, trip through the Midway Plais ance will be only short of a trip around the world. On this avenue, block wide and mile long, are to be located the side shows. Here the visitor can see with their home surroundings, the na- tives of the Arctic regions, in their furs if they can be made to wear them under our summer sun, and of the South Sea islands with so much clothing donned. to their discomfort, as civilization abso- lutely demands. Here also will be the rarest collection of wild animals that this country ever saw, Chinese theater, and other things more interesting than the staple show of the fair itself.
 But notwithstanding all this the 1an- kee farmer will want to pick up a little profitable as we'll as interesting knowl- edge, while he occasionally rests his eyes, and to do this he needs only to come in close communion with his fellows. To facilitate such exchange of thought the committee .on farm culture, etc., have furnished headquarters and appointed persons in different counties in each state, authorized by letter of introduction to bring agriculturists together. I do not | understand that county lines are to be strictly adhered to and, appointed for New Haven county, as MT sWells is for Hartford county member of the advis- ory council, I see no reason why Con- | necticut farmer, south of Berlin, who happens to know MT Wells better than
 he knows me, should not apply to hi m ! for letter of introduction at the farm ers' headquarters, and I should not re
 fuse any of my farmer friends along the
 Housatonic valley because they live wesi of the river.
 1 shall try, through parties now in Chi
 cago, to learn at an early date, the bes
 or some of the best places at which tt

 and such information I shall be pleased
 to give any of my friends who ask for it I regret that we did not at the winte
 meeting have the forethought to appoin
 a committee to investigate and possibl.

past eight weeks Miss Emma Herncame, q
prominent young lady of this place, has
laid In bed with her head securely strapped
to the pillow. Two months ago, while pre-.
pairing for church, she felt q sharp and
sudden snap like the breaking Of cord at
the back of her neck accompanied by a
violent pain issuing from the heart to the

heartbeat, her head has made a violent
and responsive nod, first forward and tn, n
backward, with the regularity and pre-.
cision Of clock pendulum. In either
