The annual grange fair of Masha- paug Lake grange will be held on Saturday at the town hall. This local fair has grown by leaps and bounds during the past three years, and the exhibits of purely agricultural character have been of a high standard. The premium feature has been wholly devoted to the children, there being no prizes offered to adults in the exhibit line This item has kept harmony in the ranks of exhibitors, and all have been willing to add from year to year larger and better produce. The fair brings together nearly every farmer in town, an here they trade seed, or carry in mind a character of seed or variety of produce, which has appealed to their liking. There are no outside fakirs, all booths are under the management of the grange, and the booths are not run for the express purpose of mak ing money for the grange, butito defray expenses of the fair, and each year the amount of money necessary to balance the expenses paid from the treasury of the grange has grown less in amount. One of the features this year will be in the talk about ? p. m., by Prof. Jones of Storrs, on The hens that will lay this fall and winter. Prof. Jones will make this | talk a practical one by using the fowls brought by exhibitors as means | of example. It is desired to have as | many fowls on exhibition as possible. Admission to the ground an hall is free. Refreshment booths will be in operation, where good ''eats" may be secure at small charge.
