Secretary McKeen of the State board
at the Capitol, after visiting several
fairs throughout the State in his official
capacity.
Mr.. McKeen reports that the exhibits
have been first class in every respect
this year, while the attendances have
been lighter than usual. THE light
attendances can be easily explained. =
said Mr.. McKeen to a Kennebec Jour-
nal reporter, Monday, I'm the first place
we now have three large fairs every
year in the State. one at Lewiston, one
at Bangor, and the New England fair
at Portland. Naturally, the people
will take in the big shows which neces-
sarily will make the Country fairs less
attended.
Then again, in the western part of
the State, many persons are employed
in the corn canning factories which
have been running full blast during the
various exhibitions in their vicinity
On the whole, however, l am perfectly
satisfied with what l witnessed and
think the farmers are taking more and
more interest in these events as the
years come along
Mr.. McKeen will attend the fair of
the South Kennebec County Agricul-
tural Society at Windsor Wednesday,
The agricultural department is MAX
ing arrangements to send out the queries
to the 200 correspondents all over the
State for the October bulletin. This
will be called the horse" number and
in the query Secretary McKeen will ask
for information regarding the hors,
industry in the State.
The condition of the crops will be
asked and special pains will be taker
to ascertain a complete report on the
potato market. The October bulletin.
will be one of the most interesting o.

IL Mr.. A holds q bond against Mr.. Il
for a certain amount and Mr.. b pays
off the principal and has credit on the
back of the bond for the same, and still
owes the interest. has Mr.. A the right to
compound the interest on Mr.. 3?

II Z pays the whole PRINCIPAL Of his
bond held by A, and the payments are
credited on the back of the bond with
n clear statement that they satisfy
and discharge the principal of the bond.
then the unpaid interest win not bear
interest: but creditor usually applies
payments to the discharge of interest
first, and the residue to the payment Of
principal, which. in the absence of ex-
press agreement, he may lawfully do. In
this event the balance due on the bond
will be treated as principal and bear in
