A BANQUET TO BE A CLIMAX
To BE Given by Worlds Fair Directors to
Distinguished Company.

To BE Given by Worlds Fair Directors to
q Distinguished Company.
A committee of the board of directors
of the worlds fair has been appointed
to take charge Of great exposition
banquet to be given to the foreign
commissioners, President Cleveland and
cabinet, the governors Of the states
and great dignitaries of the world, Oc-
tober 10 or IL. The intention is to dis
lance anything heretofore attempted
in America, aid the plans are upon a
scale in keeping with the country, the
fair and Chicago. Expenses are not to
be thought of until after the event is
over. The guests are to number five or
six hundred. For banquet hall the
present intention is to use the Audi
forum, Central Music hall, or some
large theater. A great floor is to be
constructed and the decorations are to
be unlimited. Sweet music is to come
from hidden MINISTRIES while the wines
of the Orient are used to pledge the
future of the Occident. The purest of
oratory is to flow along with the rarest
of champagne as the greatness. of the
fair and the good will of all nations to
Chicago is told in song and story. At
present artists are working on the
elaborate invitation cards. If Chicago
men can do anything great the exposi-
ton banquet will be greater than any
other yet attempted. Chicago Tribune.

Feeding Fat Into Milk.

The possibility of incre asing the but.
ter fat in milk by the food fed is being
much discussed in agricultural papers.
Many seem to think that this can be
accomplished by feeding fat, or foods
rich in fat. This is mistake. Excess
of fat fed tends to decrease the percen-
tage of the butter fat of milk. When
acowis receivinga ration in which
digestible protein predominates in
such proportion as to exactly suit
her individual requirements, she
is then in fair way to make the larg-
est possible return in butter fat. Any
excess in her food of fat over her actual
requirement is hindrance, not help.
In most cases Q per cent of fat in her
ration is sufficient. Dairymen gencr-
ally do not realize how large percent
age of fat they are feeding when in
addition to corn ensilagc, cornfodder,
cornmeal, bran or oats, they also feed
old process linseed meal, cottonsced
meal or gluten meal.-Ohio Farmer.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

IT will pay to give cows corn until
clover aftermath grows up.
A LARGE quantity of the butter pro-
duced in this country is spoiled by too
much churning and working.
Do NOT hurry cows TO and from the
pasture. Dairy cows are sensible and
arc much disturbed by harsh treat
ment.
II probably costs about as much to
feed COW which produces $50 pounds
OF butter as one which makes 800
pounds.
FIRST class butter sells for good
price almost universally. 1t is only
the inferior grades which bring low
rnices.
THE progressive dairyman cannot af-
ford to use anything poorer than first
class bull. The future of his herd de-
ponds upon him.
ONE of the principal points in making
success of dairying is that of produc-
ing uniformly irst-class product dur
ing all seasons of the year.
In selling dairy products the mini
mum quantity of fertilizing elements
leave the farm Dairymen usually
build up the fertility of their land.
Be careful 10 have good ventilation
In the dairy room during warm wealth
err 1t can best be kept open or this
purpose at night when the air is coolest
IT pays to have careful mixers who
will be gentle with the cows and who
always milk clean. A man may easily
lose more than his wages by careless
milking.
CAREFULLY avoid foul odors and dirt
about the place of milking. Dur
ing very dry weather light gusts Of
wind are apt to send dirt into the pail
while milking
GOOD individual animals are needed
In building up dairy herd. Test the
cows often to see what they are doing.
If some herds were cut down in num-
bers they would be moro profitable

A little of something from fall tho
worlds four corners seems to be gath
cred into the worlds fair corners, and
with so many strange people, new
buildings, strange customs and curiosi,,
ties, it would be wonder if unusual
events did not succeed each other with
great rapidity. The three quaint cara
wells, the Santa Maria, the Pinta and
Nina, exact reproductions SO far as pos
sible of the veritablc ships in which
Columbus brought his crew to America
four hundred years ago, have sailed up
to Chicago from Spain, the gift of that
government to our own; thousands of
singers from the musical societies of
the large western cities have gathered
in Chicago for festival week and sung
some of the choice works of the masters
of music; France has celebrated the
taking of the basile with great energy,
as is its annual custom; Machinery hall
tower has been struck by lightning,
but escaped further injury; the Viking
ship and its Danish crew have been
welcomed with great firing of guns and
waving of banners; and so the busy
days go on, each with its special Incl
dent or excitement.

CULTIvATING A FENCED GARDEN

such reasons that some people feel
obliged to fence in their gardens, and
deprive themselves, and the gardens
also, of the great advantage of the full
and frequent use of the cultivator. A
plan is given herewith by which u
fenced garden may be cultivated with a
good deal of ease and thoroughness.
The ground used should, if possible, be
much longer than wide, with every
thing planted in rows, and the rows
running lengthwise. The end fences
are made up entirely Of gates, as shown
in the diagram. These being set wide
open, and the rows having been
arranged so that row occurs in exact
line with each fence post at tho ends,
opportunity is afforded to cultivate
every row in the garden, and that, too,
completely to the ends, with no turn
ing of the horse within the limits of the
garden, the advantages of which arc
too apparent to need dwelling upon

pounds. Although 1t is one of the
largest bells Of the world, II does not
approach in size that of the enormous
bell at Moscow, which weighs twenty
five thousand pounds.
The bell is six feet high and eight
feet in circumference at the mouth 1t
has bright luster of brassy nature.
There are three inscriptions on it, one
at the top ridge, another in the center
and one at the lower edge. The upper
one reads: GLORY to God in the high
est; on earth good will toward men. }"
The central inscription is: "A new
command give unto yc, that ye7ove
one another" The lower is: Proclaim
liberty throughout the land and unto
the inhabitants thereof"
This Columbian liberty and peace
bell is attracting worldwide notice.
and it is indeed worthy successor of
the old clarion of independence; but it
is not nor never will be regarded with
the same reverence that is lavished on
the decrepit veteran that rung defiance
to the forces of Great Britain, when
this great nation was but puny com
monwealth taking it's first lessons in
self-government on the shores of the
Atlantic.
The dedication ceremonies of the new
bell were very impressive and inspiring,
many noted people taking part and de-
livering eloquent addresses. The bell

At the present writing there is in SEES
sion at the fair the greatest assemblage
of religious leaders the world has ever
seen, representative opponents OF every
religious creed under the sur. This
meeting is certainly most cxtraor-
binary affair, and it is undoubtedly
of great impo-S among the religions OF
the world. During the sessions of this
most remarkable congress the different
leaders of moral and religious teach
ipgs ventilate their respective views
and compare notes on the means OF
bringing the people of all lands TO a
higher state of morality and intellectu'
atty. To behold the determination OF
teachers of men so widely divergent in
their tenets and views is in truth a
marvel for the age to contemplate with
the most earnest commendation.
The celebrations among the various
state buildings are still attracting
immense crowds. During the last few

PEOPLE WHO EAT.
Outdoor Dinner Parties Popular Among
Worlds Fair Visitors,

Outdoor Dinner Parties Popular Among
Worlds Fair Visitors,
Dining In the open air is one of the
enjoyments of the fair. Never before
has anyone seen so many people eat
ing in open hooks and corners as may
be seen almost any day, except Sun
day at the great exposition. The
weather just now is peculiarly agreea-
BILE for this sort of gastronomic enter
talnment There is usually cool, re-
freshing breeze from the lake which
seems TO act on the system as d tonic
and appetizer like a cocktail or q
glass of sherry before dinner.
The visitors who bring their lunches
are legion, and they seem to be eating
, at all hours and in every imaginable
spot where seats can he found. They
are nearly always in family groups,
oblivious to their surroundings, and
fully bent or taking solid comfort.
They carry their lunch, as a rule, in
boxes or cheap wooden baskets, which
can be discarded when the contents have
been swallowed.
The live stock pavilion, with its
great amphitheater of shady seats, now
that it is not occupied, furnishes most
desirable lunching spot for visitors
from the country. Over along the lake
shore. wherever benches or boxes are
found to sit upon, many lunch parties
arc always to be seen. The terraces at the
tops of buildings, the porches and veran'
das of state buildings, the shady corners
under the peristyle, and above all the
green spots on the wooded island, offer
special attractions to the picnic parties.
The scenes at these places between
| twelve and two o'clock are most di-
verting and sometimes quite amusing.
The impromptu tables are filled with
all sorts and conditions of people. A
party of four two pretty women and q
couple of men in summer attire, will bc
seen next to a group of students in
queer costume with flowing cravats.

A goose lives a great many years and
produces young until aged. When
once large flock of geese is obtained,
the young may be sold off entirely, ex-
cept to replace any loss of old ones.
Geese bring about ono dollar per pair
in the large markets, but they also
give profit on feathers. 1t is not en-
couraging to keep geese unless they
can have some place to procure their
food, such as clover field or pasture.
They will cost nothing if conditions
are favorable to them, but If they are
10 be fed they become expensive.

How 1t Can be Cultivated With Ease and

The ideal condition, no doubt, Is TO

last Saturday, September. 0, the Grand
Army of the Republic held n grand
