THE following is a list of vol
untary contributions and the
names of the donors, and / have
appcrtioned them in the list of
premiums as near as / thought
right. While the premiums may
seem small after due considera-
ton am of the opinion that
large cash premiums are more in
the order of gambling and tend
to bring about hard feeling be-
tween the judges and compet-
tors. Premiums should be use
full articles to the agriculturist.
/ view an affair of this kind as
progressive enlightenment, SO
ciability, better acquaintance,
