THE NEW MILFORD FAIR.

AnA IN Nh W M1AEOttO FA1hs
 The premium list of the 26th annual
 fair of the New Milford Agricultural Association is just out and is hand some pamphlet of 51 pages. Copies can be had on application to the secre- tary, B. J. Hungerford. The officers of the society intend that the exhibi-
 tion this month shall be bigger and
 better than ever, and to that end they
 invite the hearty cooperation of all
 the 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 sur
 rounding is comprised of one of the finest agricultural sections of New
 England. For variety and quality of It's farm produce it has no superior. It's dairy products are famous. It raises as fine horses and cattle as are to be found anywhere. The products of its orchards and vineyards are of the very best. If every farmer, fruit-grower, market-gardener, dairyman and stock breeder, within 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 liber- al. There is satisfaction in knowing and in letting other people know that ones products are little better tlan his neighbours. All that is needed is to arouse healthy spirit of competi- tion, assure exhibitors that their en- tries will be judged by a competent committee; treat them we'll, and they come again. A special effort should be made in order to enlarge the stock exhibits. Of the hundreds of fine dairy COWS and thoroughbred stock owned in this section, only a very small percentage is ever exhibit ed 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 re- cent years by the poultry-raisers, there would be an exhibition every one would be proud of. The raising of fancy poultry, both for pleasure and profit, is a growing industry in this section. One can generally count on seeing at the fair a fine exhibition of fruit and vegetables; the only criticism that can be offered in this connection is that the exhibitors are too few in there isn't enough competi- tion to awaken interest. It is hoped the farmers and dairymen hereabouts will think these matters over, and that everyone will make an effort to add to the attractions of the fair.
 The fair has an energetic, represen- tative and strong board of directors. They do all in their power to make the fair success, but must have the hearty support of the people if the best results are to be obtained.
 The suggestion has been made that fair week be made an "old home week." an idea that has been success. fully carried out in many New England

THE USE OF IRON.
Its Eject In the Industrial World as
n Barometer of Trade.

There is an old Industrial tradition
that the iron market is the barometer
OF trade" This saying has been as
crihed to many modern authorities,
ranging from Jay Gould TO Andrew
Carnegie. Is matter Of fact, it is
much older than any oracle of this cen
TRY or the last 1t had its origin in
the earliest days of the period when
iron manufacture and the use of credit
We're simultaneously rising to impor-
lance. The basis for the tradition is
that the use of iron and of its products
is essential for the prosecution of yir-
tually all other industries. Before the
output of miscellaneous manufactures
In a community can be much enlarged
the industries concerned must be equip
ped with new tools and new machinery.
Before railroad system can be pre-
pared TO transport a greatly increased
traffic il must have new rails, new
bridges, new stations, new cars and
new locomotives In these days of the
steel and iron Office building a boom"
In the building trade cannot go far
without increasing enormously the de
mand for structural iron. Even in the
agricultural industry it may be said
that expansion and prosperity involve
necessarily largely increased demand
for farm machinery. Since the use OF
such additional equipment must pre-
cede any increase in the business of
these other trades it naturally follows,
first, that demand in the iron market
will be felt aggressiyely even before the
other Industries have shown full meas
ure of activity. and, second, that If
such other Industries foresee period
of slack demand and idle mills the first
thing they will do will be 10 reduce
their orders from the iron and steel
mills.-Alexander ID. Noyes in Forum.
