School Fair Notes.

1.-The greatest day since the Centennial
in 1884," was what number of citizens
said of the county school fair. The
crowd was estimated at five thousand.
By seven O'Clock that morning the peo-
pie we're coming from all directions, in
buggies, wagons, automobiles, horse
back and on foot. By noon you could
not get through the High School building
there was such a crowd.
The exhibits were excellent. The
girls fancy work, the boys manual
training, made one realize more than
ever that right here in Breckenridge
there are some of the brightest and most
talented boys and girls in the world
Almost every kind of work was on ex-
hibition, even musical compositions
The following schools had general dis
plays: Breckenridge County High
School, Cloverport Graded School, Irv-
ington, Stephensport, St. Romauld's
High School, Garfield and Harmed.
The seventh and eighth grades have
certainly been busy all over the county,
judging from their exhibits in Mr..
Ditto's room. The little ones came in
with their quilt squares and doll dresses.
There were close to two thousand chill
dren in the parade. In order that every
child there could view the agricultural
avhthifc in the Rauk of Harhius burp x,

they could march through their building

be the one horse that can fully fill
these requirements

PRIME ESSENTIALS ~ HOG
RAISING.
BY S. c.. MILLER.

There are three essentials for
health, thrift, and gain to be con-
sidered in the management of hogs, in
order to obtain the best results; these
are clean food, pure water, and dry,
comfortable sleeping places.
The food of the pig should be as
clean as for any other farm animal
that is, it should not be mixed or
contaminated with any substance that
contains no food value. Dirt and filth
taken into the stomach along with
food, impair digestion and reduce the
gain; they also affect the appetite and
general health Of the pig. Then, too,
a considerable part Of the food con-
sumed is required to develop energy
to separate and expel the indigestible
matter.

Bird migration has proved a fas

Sludy from earliest times Long ago
IL was noticed that birds disappeared

not knowing whore they spent the
intervening period, many fanciful
theories were advanced to account for
thelr disappearance, as Information in

or ponds. Within the century stories
were current of whole fiockS that were
seen to disappear beneath the waves

depths. With later years, however.
has come a fuller knowledge of mi
grafton, especially Of the particular
region in which each species passes
the cold season. But fuller kno4Hl-
edge has served to increase rather
than lessen interest in the subject.

departure than ever before. Indeed.
