FLORAL HALL.

Better and bigger than ever was the
exhibit of articles in Floral hall AS
the Valley fair grows in size each year
so grow the departments of the hall
chiefly devoted to women. The work of
the exhibitors was highly creditable and
to try to choose the best articles Of
handicraft would be an impossible task
The embroidered articles were wrought
with great care, the Irish crochet dis
play consisted of many excellent exhib-
its and the handmade rugs showed
originality of design and gvod work.
manship. The children's exhibit was par
tlcularly meritorious. They sent en-
broidery, drawings and charcoal work
and each piece spoke of talent in the
young workers. Some especially good
hand-painted china was shown by Mrs.
H. T.. Holden, and Miss Emma Hough-
ton showed some interesting pieces of
hand wrought leather Mrs. W. K. Sparks
Mrs. II. l.. Waterman and Mrs. II. r..
Lavelle exhibited attractive centrepieces.

ish crochet. Embroidered dresses by
MRS. w. K. Sparks and Mrs. r. w.

hand embroidered child's coat by Mrs.

OF praise. There was a large exhibit
or embroidered articles and the usual
hne showing Of antiques. The quilts were
made in many designs and while the
showing was not large it was excellent

the Belcher & Taylor Agricultural Tool

feature of this display was the Eclipse

SHEEP.

Both coarsewools and finewools in
large numbers were found in the sheep
department and the quality was uniform
ly excellent. F. D. and T. G. Hilton of
Arson, Maine, brought here two pens
OF choice Merinos, finewool variety
which in some years has lacked repre-
sentatives. c. III. Marshall & Son of
Vergennes were again the big exhibitors,

Cheviots. A fine exhibit of registered
Shropshires came from the Branford

nine Shropshires and 10 Cotswolds. Bert
Hilton Of Arson, Maine, was the own
er of fine pen of Oxfords F. D. &

several pens of Hampshire ewes. 1t was
encouraging to find a new local exhib-
itor, A. r. Stebbins of Guilford, with pen
of Shropshires and a registered buck

despite the worthless dog" the sheep
raising industry is looking up, and that
small farmers are showing great inter-
est in this branch of farming.

Dexter Stock farm. Orange, Mass. He

Is said to be the best bred French Per-
cheron In Massachusetts,. A handsome
gray imported French Percheron was
seen in Argumant, included in Mr.. Fra
licks string. He Is of unusually large
frame and weighs 1920 pounds. Argu-
mants sire was Chatillon and his dam
was Soubrette by Mevy. Jack Johnson
a name which seemed more in keeping
with his caretakers, was the name of
an iron gray Percheron in Mr. Bos-
worth's exhibit. He was bred in the
West and is two years old. A Percheron
brood mare and colt shown by Edith
Clark of Walpole N. H., each won a
blue ribbon. The big Clydesdale Wood
hall Pride, exhibited by the Lewis farms
of Walpole, Mass, was one of the hand
soonest horses on the grounds. He Is
one of the best bred Clydesdales ever
imported into the United States. He is

VEGETABLES.

This years exhibit in horticultural
hall was smaller than that of last year.
but the quality OF garden products was
very good. Two large, exhibitors who
had arrays of vegetables on the tables
at the 1911 fair were absent this year.
The Cheshire county farm did not send
its exhibit and Dana Stafford's Signal
Hill farm exhibit was lost on the way
from the state fair in White River
Junction. Mr.. Stafford won n prizes
with his vegetables and fruit at the fair
last week, Al of the awards being firsts
The exhibits were placed on a freight car
at the close of the state fair and have not
been seen since. Tracers were sent out
but the railroad officials notified Mr.
Stafford the first day Of the Valley fair
that the car could not be found The
largest exhibit was from the Brattle-
boro Retreat farm, the vegetables and
other products taking almost the entire
south side of the hail. There were sew
eral school exhibits that showed that
the coming generation of Windham
county agriculturists have the knack of
bringing Al foodstuffs from the soil.
An exhibit of Western Canadian pro-
ducts was arranged near the entrance
and attracted much attention Next this
exhibit was shown that of the Centre
Vile school, which was very credltable.
The academy in West Brattleboro had
an attractive exhibit, as did the school
in the Fox district The North school of
Vernon sent a good display. The schools
in the Waite district in Brattleboro and
in Dummerston Centre have some
youthful tillers of the soil who made
a good showing.
Residents in the local school district
were interested in the vegetables shown
by grade 9 of the Main street building.
Other youthful exhibitors were Clarence
nf
cellent showing, Roland Wilson of West
Dummerston Enos r. White and Ken
meth o. Smith of Brattleboro.
Perhaps there are some products of
Vermont farms that were not shown in
the Retreat exhibit, but 1t would take
an expert with a large catalog and eag-
lie eyes to discover what was missing.
Mr.. Roel farmer at the institution,
made an extremely interesting show
Ing. Large squashes, cabbages. toma-
toes, corn in great variety and all sorts
OF garden truck won much favorable
comment. The many other exhibitors
had interesting entries.
Upstairs the display of fruit was per-
haps better than last year. Ames hill
apple growers made good showing,
the exhibitors being French G. Hildreth.
e. b. Barrows, J. D. Barrows, G.. E.
Bishop and II. K. Hamilton. Miller Broth
ers OF Dummerston had an exhibit of
peaches In the form of two pyramids.
they also showed ten boxes of apples
of different varieties. Mrs. M. II. Brown
or vernon showed some toothsome an
pearing fall strawberries. o. E. Miller
& Sons of Leyden, Mass, showed ap-
pies and pears The bees of Robert
Coombs of Guilford were an attraction
to many persons.
AS usual the housewives of Windham
county added to the showing upstairs
with their samples of cookery. Cakes,
bread, pies and candy made a pleasing
display C. S. Hopkins and the Brat
tleboro Retreat made beautiful exhibits
of flowers.

Inc poultry department was a delight
to fanciers and again a model of good
management. In volume it surpa ssed all
recorded points, over 1000 birds being on
exhibition. The Otselic Farm of Whit
ney's Point, N. Y, added materially to
the show with upwards of 500 entries,
representing many of the standard va
rletles and large collection of fancy
Dirds and water fowls-ducks and geese.
Inc quality OF the department as a
whole was exceedingly high grade The
snow was unusually strong in the Amer

Death of Little Elizabeth Minis.

The death of Elizabeth Clark Minis, A.,
in Warren, Mass, yesterday has aroused
much sympathy for the childs parents
and grand parents on the part of their
many friends here and elsewhere. The
child. who was particularly bright and
attractive, died about o'clock yester-
day morning after a few days illness
with diphtheria, and the burial took
place yesterday afternoon. She was
born in this village and was the eldest
of three children of Wesley E. and Mary
Clark Minis and granddaughter of DR..
and Mrs. Charles S. Clark of this place.
Her father formerly was principal Of
Brattleboro academy and afterward SUI
pervisor of the union school district. He
is now a supervisor in Warren. The
child often visited in the home of her
grandparents, sometimes staying sew
eral weeks, and her loss will be felt
by those who had come to know her, as
well as by relatives. DR.. and Mrs. Clark
went to Warren on account Of her ILL
ness and death.
