A committee composed of Messrs,
Farwell, Sites and Sargant were ap-
pointed to revise the premium list, with
instructions to 30 increase premiums on
live stock as to double the total amount
of premiums paid by the society.
The secretary, A. H. Farwell, reports
that the receipts last year, were $2,275.S4
and the expenditures S2,206.l2, leaving
net balance in treasury of S69.73. One
of the most important moves made by
the society is the reduction of the num-

will be thereby reduced without cutting
off receipts or lessening the interest in
the meeting. The date of the fair
this year, is announced to probably be
September 4, 5 and 6.

THE WINDOW IN THE TENT.
An Old Soldiers Way of Securing
Ventilation When In tho Field.

An Old Soldiers Way of Securing
Ventilation When In the Field.
81 never pull down the window at
the top to let in little fresh air when
l go to bed" said the old soldier, with
out thinking of how we used to open
the window in the tents in the army
in wartimes. An A tent, seven feet
square at the base and running up,
wedge shaped, to ridgepole seven
feet above the ground, made comforta-
BILE enough quarters for four men II
you could leave the tent open, which
was equivalent to leaving off the front
Of the house, but If 1t We're cold or
rainy and the wind blew on the front
Of the tent so that you had to close 1t,
why then you wanted ventilation some
where, and you got it by making an
opening in the back Of the tent.
'There was seam, overlapped, rum
ming down the middle of the back OF
the tent from the ridge pole to the
ground, and we used to cut the stitches
along that seam, up near the top Of the
tent, and spread the sides apart by
putting in u stick six or eight inches
long across the middle, making there
diamond shaped opening about foot
long, which served the purpose ad-
mirably.
''The mems guns stood at that end of
the tent, butts resting on piece Of
cracker box, the barrels held in some
sort Of holder secured to the tent
pole. II the wind changed on some
rainy night and came around to blow
against the back of the tent, the rain
would come in on the guns and on us,
and then somebody would get up and
shut the window-that is, take the
stick out and let the canvas come to-
gether again there and then open the
tent little ut the other end, at the
front.
aThis all used to seem kind O
strange, then somehow. though prac.
tically 1t was just WIZ would have
done in the old house home and jus,
what I'd do here now."-Chicago Inter

where in the world, says an exchange.
Every municipal monopoly is operated
for the benefit of the citizens gas,
street cars, waterw ,rks, electric light
ing, markets, abattoirs, sanitariums,
lodging houses, and even the cemetery.
In 1872 the gas works were taken over,
the object being to reduce the price of
gas and increase its use by the poorer
classes. To this end the department in-
troduced penny-in-the-slot meters,
which have been 10 we'll received that
about one-ffth Of the population is
now supplied in this way, When the
meter is used stove is supplied "fxed'
free of charge. Not one penny need be
invested, except for the thirty feet of
gas sold for two cents. This is a great
boon for the poor, who find it very diff
cult to save enough to purchase fittings
outright. Stoves alone may be returned
at ten per cent. off cost price per year,
and the department has its own stoves,
containing styles to suit the poorest of
the most fastidious. The price of gas
has been steadily reduced, until now it
is 2s Cd (66cents) for lighting, and 2s
(4S cents) for heating and trade pur-
poses. Indeed, the city has been so
considerate of public welfare in every
way that practically the whole popula-
tion consume municipal gas. Electric
ity is supplied in much the same way,
and throughout the principle of monop-
olization is carried into effect where
ever practicable and possible.

Test MIX From s,lo-r.d Cows,

The attaches of the State Agricul-
turai college at Champaign, ILL.,, think
they have settled the controversy which
sprung up between certain buyers of
milk and the men who produced it, the
former refusing to buy the milk of cows
fed on silage.
The college has just announced the
result of series of tests concerning
this matter. samples of the milk taken
from the COWS on the agricultural farm
were sent, first to dozen different
professors of the college, then to q
number of students, and later on a
number of women and finally to several
milk experts. In addition, the samples
were sent to hotels in Chicago and
Springfield. In each case both silage
and nonsilage milk was sent, and in no
case was the object of the undertaking
disclosed. In each case person was
asked which sample was preferred and
whether there was any objection to the
milk of a certain designation.
The result of this test, which GOV
cred several weeks, was that 118 tests
favored the silage milk, IS the nonsil-
age and 81 had no choice. To 800 sam
Piles of silage milk there were no objec
tions. The tests were double in char.
acter, milk from COWS being taken both
before and after feeding the silage.
Prof. w. j. Frazer, under whose di.
rection the tests were made, says that
there can be no reasonable objection to
silage as feed if the feeding is proper
ly done. This is considered very i'm
portant matter, as a vast amount of
money has, within the last few years,
been spent by farmers in building silos.
The condenser people claim that milk
from COWS fed on silsge takes on an
undesirable TASTE. This the professors
claim comes from decayed silage. When
the milk is exposed to its odor, and If
care is taken not to permit any feed of
the kind to reach the barn there will be
no trouble.

Weather and Crop Report.
Des Moines. Iowa. June Is.

Des Moines, Iowa, June 25. 1900
The weather conditions of the past
week we're fairly good for all crops.
The rainfall was unequally distributed,
ranging from very light showers to
heavy downpours in extensive areas.
Some local damage was done by wind
squalls and hail, but generally the re-
suits we're very beHfiecial, and in near
ly all sections there was ample moisture
for present needs.
Great progress has been made in cul-
tivating corn, and work in that line will
be practically completed by the LIST of
July. The general condition of that
crop is highly promising.
The cool nights and moderate temper
allure have been favorable to oats, wheat
and barley, checking the tendency to
development OF smut and rust. Spring
wheat and oats are filling well, though
in northern and western districts the
stand is thin and straw short. Barley
harvest will begin within few days.
Clover cutting.is in progress with var
liable yield. Timothy is generally thin,
but the meadows have been improved
from effects Of recent rains by new
growth of clover.
Reports received by the secretary of
the horticultural society indicate some
decline in the condition of apples, es-
pecially in the central and southern sec
