NEW MILFORD.
 THE NEW MILFORD FAIR.
 The New Milford Agricultural society gave an excellent fair and cattle show, last fall, one of the best in years. The officers of the society intend that the exhibition, next month, shall be bigger and better than eyer and to that end they invite the hearty cooperation of all resi- dents in New Milford and other towns in the district naturally tributary to the so- ciety. It isn't too early to begin to plan for the fair. There is work a.plenty to be done and the sooner it is begun the more satisfactory will be the results. There is no good and sufficient reason why the New Milford society should not give one of the best fairs in Connecticut. In New Milford and the towns surround ing is comprised of one of the finest az. ricultural sections of New England. For variety and quality of it's farm pro- duce it has no superior. Its dairy pro- ducts are famous. It raises as fine horses and cattle as are to found anywhere. The products of its orchards and vineyards are of the very best. If every farmer, fruit grower, msrket.gardener, dairyman and stock-breeder within radius of 10 miles of New Milford would contrib ute of his best to the New Milford fair it would make the finest exhibition ever seen in these attitudes. And why shouldn't they?' The premiums offered are liberal. There is a satisfaction in knowing and in letting other people know that one's products are little bet. ter than his neighbours. All that is need- ed is to arouse healthy spirit of compe- titien assure exhibitors that their entries will be judged by competent committees treat them well and they will come again. A special effort would be in order to en- large the stock exhibits. Of the hun. dreds of fine dairy COWS and thorough bred stock owned in this section only very small percentage is ever exhibited at the fair. This is much to be regretted. If the dairymen could but be induced to take the same interest in the fair that has been shown in recent years by the there would be an exhi- bition that everyone would be proud of. The raising of fancy poultry both for pleasure and profit is a growing indus try in this section. One can generally count on seeing at the fair fine exhibi- ton of fruit and vegetables; the only criticism that can be offered in this con- nection is that the exhibitors are too few in number, there isn't enough competi- tion to awaken interest. It is hoped the farmers and dairymen hereabouts will shink these matters over and that every- one will make an effort to add to the at- fractions of the fair.
 AN ENLARGED TOBACCO WAREHOUSE.
 Your reporter looked over the enlarged Co.,, the other day, and found large and model building for the tobacco busi. ness. MT Greene has found his quarters too small in past seasons, and this sum- mer arranged with the Rowe 6 Pulls Co. for large addition on the south iend of the old shop. They took hold of the work with energy, and put it through in short order. They now have 8 building about 13Ox35 feet with 26 foot posts. The asserting room will be on the second floor, where they will have light and airy quarters. A hydraulic elevator will be put in. The building is so situated that the tobacco can be loaded directly on the cars, after it is assorted and cased. The building will be heated by steam, a boiler room being erected at the south end of the factory. The basement Is large one, as may be judged by the di- mensions, and will come in handy for storing the tobacco as received from the farmers. When all the improvements contemplated are finished it will be an up-to.date establishment.
