HOME FOR AGED FOREsTERs.
A Special Committee Will Report at
 the Next Grand Court

A opeclal committee Will Report at
 the Next Grand Court.
 The next Foresters' state grand court convention is to be held at New Lon don on May 12, 1897, and though it may be rather premature to presage what will be the result of the various propo- sitions which will be placed before the convention there are at least two pro- jects which will be watched with in terest, says the Waterbury Republican
 The first will be the report of the committee which was appointed at the last convention to arrange plans for the foundation of a state home for aged members of the order, also for Forest CTS widows and orphans. This move ment was started by Court Merritt Heminway of Watertown. Since the appointment of that committee the members have labored unceasingly ir order to be in readiness to make thor ough and favorable report, as the project seems to have met with favora- ble recognition on the part of the ma jority of the delegates at the last con- vention.
 At the coming state convention dele- gates are to be elected to the supreme court convention, which is to be held in Denver, Col, next September, and here is where project number two is to be put forward Connecticuts ambi- tion is to be represented in the supreme chief rangers chair, and if 1t can land a. man in this high office one pet ambi- tion will be gratif1ed. To select a can- didate is of course the first move, but already the wheels have been set in motion and a prominent Forester of New Haven county has already been slated.
 Forestry in Connecticut has been making rapid strides during the past few years. During the present year the number of new courts organized has been few, as the executive council has confined itself mostly to the strengthening of the older courts which seemed more necessary than the 1 organization of new ones. During the year the following courts have been organized by the executive council Courts Hartford, 105, at Hartford E. w. Seymour, 106, at Litchfield; Man. chester, 107 at South Manchester; In dian We'll 10s, at Derby; Westport 109, at Westport; General Putnam 110, at Greenwich; Marion Ill, at New Haven; and Junior Court James H Chapin, 112, at Meriden. There are a number of other towns where the coun- cil are desirous of having new courts started, among them being Canaan Stafford Springs, Ansonia, Milford and New Milford.

THE DAIRY REPORT.
Commissioner Noble Talks of Milk and
 Butter.

Commissioner Noble Talks Of Milk and Butter.
 The annual report of John B. Noble, dairy commissioner of Connecticut, covers a period from September S0 1895, to September 30, 1S96 The most im- portant duty of the office, as given, is to enforce the law relating to the sale of imitation butter. The sale of oleo- margarine is shown to be very limited at the present time. Six United States licenses have been taken out; these dealers are selling white oleomargarine according to law.
 As to Oleo.
 In 1887 the average monthly produc- ton in the country was 2,711 ,S2S pounds; in 1895 it was 4,746,50S pounds. Since 1886, when the United States law was enacted, and our state law also | the production has increased three-fold l until the last year, when it was slight ly less In 1887 the amount produced was 2O.51S,637 pounds; for 1894 it was | e9, 662, 246 pounds; for 1895, 59,S95, 105 pounds. The amount received by the government in 1795 was $1,409,21llS; in l 1894 it was some larger, $1, 729, 479.9O. The amount manufactured in the Con- necticut district Gall of it in the state of Rhode Island) has increased. In 1894 there was produced S,545,296 pounds, while in 1895 the amount was 9,029,26 pounds.
 The dairy branch of agriculture has increased very largely in the last few years. The number of cows kept in the state increased from S5,561 in 1850, to 127, S92 in 1890. The amount of butter made in the state in 1890 was 1O,369, 29O l pounds. The increase in the average milk production per COW in the state is very satisfactory to all dairy men. In | 1860 the average was 277.2 gallons per COW; in 1890 it had reached 425.4 gal Ions per COW. This shows better cows and better care in the state.
 Milk Inspection.
 The report discusses the vinegar and molasses laws briefly. In regard to milk laws the report says:
 Hartford is the only place in the state that has thorough milk inspection, and it is thought that the time will soon come when more and stronger leg | islation will be asked for on this sub- | ject. In conclusion Commissioner No- ble congratulates producers and con- sumers of pure food that wise and pru- dent legislation has accomplished good results along these lines.

TOWN AGENT CONTEST.

Arguments Will be Heard To-day In
 the Superior Court.
 At 12 o'clock to-day the arguments in the case of Philip Hugo vs. Robert b. Baldwin to oust the latter from the of- flee of first selectman will be heard in the superior court. It will probably take some time to get at the issue be- cause of the peculiarities of the plead ings. The writ of quo warranto issued by MT. Hugo's counsel was met with a demurrer which was overruled. Then an application for a recount was filed by Baldwin's counsel. There Is also a petition before the court to allow Hugo to exercise the duties of the office of first selectman during the pendency of the trial.
