GRANGE FAIRS.
TWO Notable Ones Held This Fall In
New ENGLAND


New England.
New England certainly leads the
world in grange fairs In many
places these fairs take the place OF
county and town fairs and, in fact are
a good equivalent for the average
county fair, They are managed by
farmers. and there are no failures.
Herein there may be a hint worth con-
sdering by the managers of county
fairs-namely, to put farmers on their
boards of directors.
One of the most notable of these
grange fairs was the one held by the
East Haddam Comm grange, and the
managers proved beyond all question
that the raising of cattle and particu-
larry of oxen is not a lost art At
this local grange fair 119 yoke of oxen
were exhibited, whose value, reckoned
at an average price per yoke of 5000
would make the string worth nearly
$4,000. OF course there were other
departments than cattle at this fair,
but this so far eclipsed all others and.
indeed, surpassed most eastern state
fairs in the exhibit of oxen that it
becomes noteworthy subject for COM
ment This fair, by the way, was the
seventeenth annual exhibition of the
East Haddam Grange Fair association.
At North Stonlngton, Me, another
large grange fair was held 1t was a
three days exhibition and is in reality
the county fair. although strictly under
the auspices of the grange. Here, too.
200 head of cattle were shown and
lots Of other stock. One exhibitor
showed eighty-six varieties OF apples,
and one exhibit was much commented
on because 1t took only 165 apples to
fill a sugar barrel. They averaged
twelve TO the peck.
We cite these two fairs as examples
of what oranges are doing to place
agriculture. or fairs as representative
of agriculture, at the front. Oranges
have also co-Operated with the county
fair associations in many towns in
stead of holding fairs OF their own
and always to the advantage of the
fair. 1t is a good indication. The
grange is primarily and In reality an
agricultural organization, and whatev-
er advances agricultural interests adj
vances grange interests, and the con.
verse Of the proposition is also true.

Pet Dog Saves Child's Life.

Again has pet dog been the
means of saving child's life,
this time at Belle Fourche. The
two-year-old baby of d. A. Jones
fell into the Belle Fourche river.
The family was attracted by the
dogs barking and on coming to
the scene found the animal had
pulled the child clear of the water
and was holding it on the
bank from which it had tumbled
into the stream. The dog had
previously been afraid of the
water and was recently carried
over the Little Missouri river
when the family had occasion to
cross it. 1t is a big Newfound-
land and has been the child's
playmate.

Murder Trial at Yankton.

For the first time in eight years
1anlton court house is the scene
of murder trial, and is thronged
with people every day Charles
b. Bowman, alleged slayer of
Nellie Brewer, is on trial for his
life, and the work of selecting a
jury began Thursday morning of
last week. After an all day ses-
sion it became evident that this
first task would consume another
day, and might drag into several.
The parents of the murdered
girl, the part Indian mother Of
the prisoner, and other relatives,
are taking the keenest interest
in the work Of procuring a jury.
Bowman, whose life is at stake,
is neatly dressed, we'll groomed
young man, and as little like a
murderer as one could imagine.
He shows little trace of his quar-,
ter blood Indian lineage unless
in his uniformly unrutfied ex-
terror. The pallor of several
months in Jail is, however, no.
ticeable. The trial is likely to
take up the attention of the court
for most of this week.
