| All who were absent from the grange

a rare treat, there being no less than
six prominent speakers present. The
programme was in charge of r. o. Ea-

the selling or oleomargarine, renovated
butter, ETC., price per same, quality,
precautions taken, Analysing by officers
of the Experiment Station at New Ha-
ven, said to be the best in the state.
He was followed by DR.. A. L. Winton,
of the Experiment Station, who spoke
of "Adulterations in Milk and. Cream"
He said it is surprising how much milk
is adulterated; water is used extern
sively, and chemicals such as borax
and formaldehyde being mixed with
the milk in order that it shall keep be-
yond its allotted time. A certain dye is
now added to skim and separated milk
| to produce the appearance of new and
rich milk. General AverilI, state cattle
commissioner, next gave an address on
conditions among the cattle in the
state. He was positive in his state
ments that cleanliness should be OBJ

| ing manner spoke of conditions in his
locality. Worthy State Overseer Fan

state fair exhibit at Buffalo, and the
high standard which we as state
maintained in the matter of butter.

short instructive talk on the forest con-
ditions in our state, emphasizing the
point that although Connecticut fur
nishes ample material for telegraph
poles. railroad ties and cord wood, yet
she is far below the average in raising
timber for building purposes, which is
very remunerative. Music for the even
ing was by Miss Marie Eaton, accom-
panied by A. B. Clinton.
