This is the season for colds. IF left

the two diseases are widely different
yet they are both the result of colds,
and while the latter is not nearly so
disastrous as the former yet many
birds die Of it. A cold is very easily

Uncle Samuel Is a Booster Of the Old Time Fair

IN an effort to revive interest In the
l old-time agricultural fairs the de-
partment Of agriculture the other day
a bulletin treating Of the bene-
fits to be derived from such gather
ings.
The report Is Of historic interest,
for 1t tells of the beginning of such
fairs" when TIE country was young
and when they were not only an ad-
vantage to agriculture, but were the
excuse for social gatherings as well.
What was primarily a market fair"
says the report, was held in October.
1904, "on the Mall on the south side
of the Tiber. extending from the
bridge at the Center Market to the
Potomac in Washington, d. S. The
city government appropriated $50 to.
ward the fund for premiums and resi-.
amount was awarded to the best lamb
sheep, steer, mich COW, jack, oxen
and horse actually Sold"
The report declares that the first
real agricultural fair was held by the
Columbian Agricultural Society III
Georgetown, ID. c.. in 1909.
According to the newspapers of tina
day, ut was attended by a numerous
assemblage of members of the society
among whom we noticed the presiden'
and his lady, the secretary of state
the secretary Of the treasury, the sec
rotary of war. the controller. the reg
istrar, etc, and many other ladies ant
gentlemen of respectful illty."
