THE NEW MILFORD FAIR.

THE NEW MILFORD FAIR.
 The premium list of the 285h annual fair of the New Milford Agricultural | IS just out and is hand some pamphlet of A pages. Copies | can be had on application to the secre- Cary, Frank E. SOule. The officers of | the society intend that the exhibi- tiOn, this month, shall be bigger and | better than ever, and to that end they l invite the hearty cooperation of all l the residents in New Milford and oth- | er towns in the district naturally to the society. It isn't too early to begin to plan for the fair. There is work a-plenty to be done, and factory 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 one of the in est agricultural sections of New Eng land. For variety and quality of it's farm produce it has no superior. Its dairy products are famous. It raises as fine horses and cattle as are to be found anywhere. The products of it's orchards and vineyards are of the very best. If every farmer, fruit-grower. market-gardener,d 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 ln these attitudes. And why shouldn't they? The premiums of- fered are liberal. There is d satisfac- Jion 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 exhibi- tors that their entries will be judged by competent committee; treat them well, 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 thor ougbbred stock owned ln this section, only a 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 raising of fancy poultry, both for pleasure and profit, is growing in- dustry in this section. One can gen. erally 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 exhibi- tors are too few in number, there isn t enough competition to awaken inter- est. It is hoped the farmers and dairymen hereabOuts will think these matters oyer, and that every one will make an effort to add to the attrac. tions of the fair. The fair has an en- ergetic, representative 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.
