conferred on such a young man. Mr..

The attention of our farmers and
amateur gardeners is called to the liberal
premiums that have been offered by the
Hartford Agricultural Society for farm
and garden products. OF late years our
agricultural interests have not been well
represented. and these premiums are
offered with the view of stimulating local
interest. Spring is just opening and this
is an excellent time to commence to pre-,
pair for exhibits in each of these depart
ments. Our agriculturalists can help the
fair, and incidentally themselves at the
same time, if they will only take little
interest in getting an exhibit together.
