Danbury (Conn.) Fair.— ’The thirty-lhird 
annual fair and cattle show of the Dan¬ 
bury Agricultural Society was held from 
October 7 to 12 inclusive. This exhibition 
has long been the chief fair of western 
New England, and unlike most local fairs, 
it grows from year to year. ’The exhibits 
and attendance were larger this year than 
ever before, notwithstanding the partial 
failure of the fruit and vegetable crops in 
this part of New England. 'The main build¬ 
ing was filled with vegetables and fruits. 
A feature of this building was the exhibit 
of honey by I. J. Stringham, of New York, 
and G. W. Hatch, of Brookfield, Conn. The 
implement tent was well filled as usual. 
The wire fence men were out in full force. 
The poultry and pet building is one of 
the chief attractions of the fair. The dog 
show is considered one of the best in the 
country. The cattle department was well 
filled but showed but little if any improve¬ 
ment over previous years. The Hood Farm 
exhibit of Jersey cattle and Berkshire 
swine was an important feature of the cni- 
tle department. The attendance exceeded 
all previous records. j. h. g.

These Lamps are just right for lighting the

will thoroughly light up a loi^ row of animals. 
The lamps are strongly made, perfectly safe 
and very economical to use. They burn kerosene 
(coal oil), and very little of it considering the fine 
light they give. To introduce, we offer to send one

n 
,EXT WINTER it will be 
neces.sary for our farmers 
to study the question of 
stock foods. Corn, the great 
stock grain, will be high in 
price, and substitutes must be 
provided for it. IIow can these 
substitutes be found ? Only by 
comparing other and cheaper foods with corn, and knowing beforehand 
how tliey will affect the animal. This comparison may be done by study¬ 
ing analyses, but a farmer cannot afford to spend the Winter in experi¬ 
menting. He must know beforehand what others have found out. He 
can learn this by studying Prof. W. A. Henry’s great book. Feeds and 
Feeding tells you just what you ought to know about foods and bow to 
feed them. It is full and complete, and easy to read. Price, $3.
