The writer thinks this sug gestlon if carried out would add to the value ot many farms throughout this section of oountry. The Connecticut Dairymen's Aasooia tion has very sensibly instituted a series of Dairymen's meetings at the homes of representative farmers, securing speak ere of note from abroad. A meeting of this nature will be held at the farm of H. W. Andrews in Brookfield, August 20, with such speakers as F. H. Stadt- mueller of West Hartford, H. G. Man Chester of Winsted, Prof C. S. Phelps and Prof C. L. Beach of the Connecticut Agricultural college. There ought to be a large attendance. Persons who are expecting to attend the fairs tbia fall should bear in mind that by coming to the Newtown Fair they can see more for their money than at any fair in Connecticut. By arrange' ment of the fair c facials and the Conaoli dated road you can come to Newtown get into the fair and return home for iust about the price of the fare one way The grounds are situated within three minutes' walk of the station so there Is no 'bus fare to pay. The Newtown fair Is the only fair in the state, exoept one to which the Consolidated road sends excursion trains. This shows that though only five years old, it Is drawing big crowds. The scarcity of milk has forced the price up up 10s. a can, which will be good news to the farmers of the Housa- tonic valley. It appears that the Con sol'dated Milk Exchange has granted the demands ot the dairymen and farmers increasing by a quarter of a cent the price paid to the producers tor milk and this amount has been added to the whole sale price which is now 1 SO a can, (forty quarts) i instead of $1.50. In con sequence it is expected that the minimum retail price will be increased from 5 to 6 cents a quart, but the great majority of consumers will not be affected, as they have been paying 8 cents a quart. The long continuance of the hot weather dry ing up pastures, Increasing the cost of feeding cows, led the milk producers to Insist upon an increase of the price paid them from 2,3 4 to 3 cents a quart. In other respects the cost ot producing milk has been increased, young cows now being worth S50 and $60 instead of 935 and $40, and farm hands being hard to get at aiS and S20 a month, whereas a year ago help was to be had at $14 and $15 a month and even as low as $12 Properly the advance should have been made a month ago, as conditions plainly warranted it, but it is none the less wel come. The premium list of the Harwinton Agricultural society has been laid upon our desk. This society has a big one day fair on October 2, and there is said to be nothing quite like it in Connecticut. The fair is held In Harwinton, just east of the villsge, on the southern slope of Sunset Hill, overlooking a magnificent landscape toward Northfleld, Plymouth and Bristol. The society is in a flourish ing condition, and the directors purpose to furnish some new and special attrac tions at the Fair, this fall. With the ex ception of the year 1859, when the pleuro pneumonia cattle disease was prevalent in the state and all cattle were strictly quarantined, and the troubled times in '61 and '62, at the outbreak of the Civil war, a fair and cattle show has been held every year since the organization of the society In 1852. The fair to be held Oc tober 2, 1000, is the 44th. j JfcVfegetablePreparationfor As similating uDJToodandRegula Hng theStomachs andBowels of Promotes DigesUon,CheerfuI Tiess and RestCon tains neither Opmm',Morphlne nor Mineral.
