The County Fair.

The weather was against the
Windsor County Agricultural So
ciety's G2d annual exposition and
harvest festival, and the attendance
showed falling off all three days.
Wednesday, the second day, was
showery and cool, but there were
from 1000 to 1000 people on the
grounds, having a good time in
good racing and in viewing the well
filed stock departments and the
varied amusement features.
Thursday was a little mellower,
with more good track events, the at
tendance being good considering
weather conditions.
Cattle.
The cattle show has always been
a feature of the exhibition. 1t was
SO this year, although it was less in
numbers, and the admirers Of the
various breeds that flourish in this
section all found something to look
at and talk about. The Cloudland
farm and Lockwood herds were alb
sent, and their absence was noted,
but other herds were well represent

Maple Sugar and Syrup
A Fine Showing.

The exhibit of maple sugar showed
a revival of interest in this peerless
product of Vermont naples, much
of which is due to the efforts of Col.
+. S. Billings, superintendent of
this department, who secured from
the society an increase in the appro-
priation for premiums. There were
81 entries, including seven of five
gallon exhibits of syrup, and the
whole made a most attractive dis

Mrs. Ida Bordenkircher of CO.
schocton, O., murdered her hus-
band, and when her case comes
to trial her attorneys will charge
that a church is responsible for
the crime. The defense will claim
that the woman endeavored to
live pure life, but that she was
refused admittance to the church
and barred from recognition by
the socially respectable elements
because of her previous record
She gave up in despair, resumed
her evil ways and committed her
crime during a drunken brawl
Individual responsibility can not
be placed wholly on other
shoulders, but the plea in defense
in this case may have something
to support it. theoretically The
church is for sinners, not saints
in actual practice certain classes
of sinners are not welcomed with
open arms.

Not a Business Panic.

Business went ahead Thursday
morning without reference to the
heavy losses sustained by certain and
perhaps numerous spectators on
Wall street Panics may be divided
into three kinds-currency panics
stock panics and business panics. On
ly one OF these three kinds is neces,
sarily disastrous to the great body
of the people. A currency panic may
be confined to narrow circle
though if continuous it will involvc
values, savings, investments and
wage funds. A stock panic ma" be
limited in effect to those who have
sold short on rising market or
bought heavily on a falling.
What happened on Wednesday was
that men who had bet heavily on
higher prices were unable longer to
stand the strain. Some of them had
to let go and take what they could
get. Others had to buy money with
what securities they could market al
almost panic prices. Some lost, 9th
ers won There was a speculative
but not actual disturbance of values
What the Great Northern and the
Union Pacific were worth Monday
they are worth today. People who
have bought them for actual invest
ment are not affected by the fall, and
will not be affected by the subse-
quent rise There was an awful
slaughter of spectators in May oil
1901, but the tide of general business
flowed on MISUNDERSTANDING

ling are prohibited by law A man
cannot build a house according to

the sale of cigarettes is forbidden by

Training Technical Workers.

An interesting story comes
from Bethlehem, Pa, of the sue
cess which is attending the pro-
ject of a prominent steel man to
train skilled workers for future
needs. He made a proposition to
receive 800 boys and give them
special oversight in teaching
them all the details of the steel
and iron trade, in order that they
may be available for service
above the grade of mere mechan-
ic when the company is in need
of such helpers.
In response to this offer more
than 200 boys have appeared.
Their ages range from IL to 20
years, about half of them being
Germans, a quarter Irish, and the
rest mainly of pure American
stock. The most of them have
had high school education or
have attended a manual training
school. Not more than 5 per cent
of those who applied failed in
their allotted tasks and decided
to quit. The great majority en-
tered into the work with spirit
and are giving complete satisfac-
ton to the company.
The steel magnate's invitation
was not given in spirit of pure
philanthropy. 1t was a plain
business proposition. 1t may be
paralleled by projects in other in
dustries. There are plenty of Ia
borers who can do routine work,
while those who have the admin
istrative ability, the initiative,
and the driving power to make
successful superintendent of de-
partments are comparatively few.

TUBERCULOSIS IN HOGS.

Wishing TO test the matter OF hogs be
corning Injected with tuberculosis from
The mix Of tubcrcuiar cows, the Iowa ex-
,eriInen. station at Ames fed four lots of
pigs four and onc-half months with milk
that was infected with the germs of bo-
vine tuberculosis and with pasteurized
milk free from such hacilli. Two lots
were fed in lots with timothy pasture and
the other two In dry lots. One of each of
the lots was given tubercular food from
four to seven times and at the end of the
period expert hog buyers could see no
signs of disease and considered the whole
lot worth the top of the market. except
four head. which were small.
Post mnrtem examinations found that
only onc-fourth of these twenty head that
had had the tubercular baccilli were fit
for consumption. though 10 per cent of
the lot were not so badly affected thai
with entire safety. OF those fed the pas
suerized milk none were affected. 1t there
fore seems plain that in the short space of
four and one-half months healthy pigs
were made unfit for market purposes by
feeding the germs Of tu~berculous diseases.
Careful inquiry into the ancestry of these
PIGS indicated taat there was no tuberctl-
lar disease connected with any Of them,
so that the cause of the disease was en-
tirely in the food. If this result is at
tained in this time. what Will be the con-
dition Of hogs sold from farms that al
ready have the disease or are fed on milk
from tubercular COWS for the year or less
of thcir natural lives before being put on
the market?
