How McCabe Secs 1t.

Last Tuesday the Directors of the
Harrison County Agricultural society
met ut Missouri Valley and elected
officers. The attendance was good;
some were surprised to see 80 m ny
out 1t indicated renewed interest
in the fair; an interest caused no
doubt by the success of the change
made last fall, when under the most
adverse conditions the fair was fairly
successful. The first ballot for presi-
dent was a revelation. A. Spooner re.
ceived nine votes and E. F. James six.
This did not appear to suit the coterie
that have been running the fair, and
who did not appear to want to let
go. instead of the usual method, Mr..
James made an appeal in favor of j
II. Johnson, of Logan. The appeal
was effective. and on the first formal
ballot Harvey johnson had nine votes
and A Spooner, six. Mr.. johnson was
declared elected j. E. Mann of Lin
coin was elected vice president, and
W. II. Fensler reelected secretary, F..
T. Beebee, superintendent of grounds.
There appeared to be feeling on the
part OF the 'seoterie" in opposition tn
Mr. Beebee's management, and Mr.
FenSler suggested that Mr.. Beebee 8p.
point Mr.. James as assistant superin-
tendent. This Mr.. Beebee did not do

he found he was mistaken he couldn't
help but feel disappointed. It wss not

Hens and Their Fruit.

p. II. Sprague, Chicago poultry
dealer, read paper before the farmers
institute at Princeton a few days ago
in which he stated that the production
of chickens in the United States last
year reached 9, 1850. 100000 and of eggs
l3,00O,O00,O00. The total value of
chickens and eggs produced was $780,
100000. Accepting these tifiures as ap-
proximately correct, we must conclude
that the hen plays an important part
In our American life. But we will bet
ter understand the relative Importance
of that part when we come to make
some comparisons.
The value of our tobacco crop has
rarely been as much as $43.OOO,OOO
The value of our potato crop is less
than e8O,Oo0OOO on the average. The
value of our barley crop is not often
as much as s30,O50,OOO An ost crop
worth $4,000 600 is unusual. Our an
nual output of pig iron has rarely ex-
ceeded $3.50, 100000 in value. Coal, by
far the most valuable of our mineral
products, gives total output of some
5000. 100000.
