THE BoERs AND THE BRITISH
Nearly Half Million Men Required to Conquer Dutch in South Africa.

Boston Herald
 It takes some time to compile Government figures. This is true in Great Britain well as in the United States. recent Parla- mentary paper gives, for the first time, com plete report of the number of troops which, first and last, Great Britain sent into South Africa on account of the Boer war. According to this report the British SSo forces in south total strength of officers and men of 994O. From that time until the 11th of October of the same year, the outbreak of the war, 2,6O6 men were sent to the Cape. bringing the total strength at the opening of the war up to l2 . 546. From the opening of the war to the end sent to and raised in South Africa, includ- ing the garrison which was there in August. nine and a half months the British strength was, therefore increased by 252, 5S6 men. Up to the middle of April. 1901, S2529 more men had been sent to the front, and by the end of 1901 the total number of troops that had seen service with the British in the Cape had of June 56. Ss6 further reinforcements were sent out, so that the troops under the British flag from the 1st of August, 1899, till the 1st men-to be exact 44S,435.
 Of this great number 337,319 came from the the colonies, while 52,S14 were raised in South Africa. This was enormous force of troops to handle and transport from England and the various colonies to South Africa. All told each man must have been carried on an av- craze something like s, GOO miles an under taking which, of itself was a very serious problem The revised figures for casualties furnished by this Parliamentary paper show that 5.774 the total number killed in ac- tion, 22,S29 was the total number wounded in action while Is 169 died of wounds or dis eases. From these figures 1t would appear that about out of every fifteen men sent to south Africa by the British had been killed or wounded in action. while one in every twen- ty of the troops sent out was either killed in action or died from wounds or disease In men and money the British found the Boer war an extremely costly one although the rate of killed and wounded, as shown by these fig ures, was not particularly high Roughly speaking, to end the war in South Africa Great Britain obliged to send there a considerably larger body of troops than the total white population of the Transvaal Free State and Natal combined; in fact, almost two-thirds as many troops in the entire white population of South Africa.

them home with me and took
them out in the afternoon and
showed them some of the fin

than pleased with this country. They
stayed with me last night, this morn

that is the way with everybody here,
they all seem to be satisfied and do

many men here and they told me that
they had less than $50 when they got

Women are naturally more suscept-
ible to inclemencies of the weather
than men. With them cold is often
the starting point of some severe
pelvic arrangement, causing much
pain and suffering.
Every woman needs a remedy upon
which she can rely to keep her system
fortified against the trying weather of
winter and early spring. If Peruna is
taken at the first symptom of cold it
will cure it before it develops into
some annoying catarrhal arrangement.

THE NEW MILFORD FAIR.

The premium list of the 24th annu- al fair of the New Milford Agricultur- al Association is just out from the press of The Bee Publishing Co.,, and is handsome pamphlet of 51 pages. Copies can be had on application to the secretary, E. J. Hungerford. The officers of the society intend that the exhibition next month shall be bigger and better than ever, and to that end they invite the hearty cooperation of all residents in New Milford and other towns in the district naturally tribu- tary to the society. 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 satisfac- tory 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 surrOundinguis comprised of one of the finest agricul- tural sections of New England. For variety and quality of it's farm produce it has no superior. Its dairy products are famous. It raises as fine horses The products of it's orchards and vine- yards are of the very best. If every farmer, fruit-grower, market-gardener, dairyman and stock breeder within a radius of 10 miles of New Milford would contribute 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 satisfaction in knowing and in letting other people know that ones products are little better than his neighbours. All that is needed is to arouse healthy spirit of competition, | assure exhibitors that their entries will be judged by competent commit tee; treat them well, and they come again. A special effort would be in order to enlarge the stock exhibits. Of the hundreds of fine dairy COWS and thoroughbred stock owned in this sec tiOn, eply 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 poultry.
 raiSers, there would be an exhibition
 that every one would be proud of. The
 raising of fancy poultry, both for pleas
 ure and profit, is growing industry
 in this section. One can generally
 count on seeing at the fair fine ex
 hibition of fruit and vegetables; the
 only criticism that can be offered ir
 this connection, is that the exhibitors
 are too few in number, there isn'1
 enough competition to awaken inter
