Ortne theM. St. Cbarles is ,one of
the oldest cities in the sate of Mis-
souri and was once bile Capital. The
great car seops are ,its cief indus-
try. Tbe point of land that has to
be crossed over westward to reach
lit from here, (is a high, uneven
ridge. I wanted to ; see tow thia
land was fa.fraed and what it wee
producing. In genie ,resencits it
made me, feel like home for it was
not unlike Canute in many respects.
It was originally settled by Fr.ench,
and many of the farm houses re-
semble the old brick houses of Can-
ada, and the surroundings have every
appearance of an old Canadian farm
home. The over hay was all out
at the time and the winter wheat
was taking on a golden color. I
was surprised at the amount of the
latteer crop grown and pleased at
tits appearance. blostof tb,e farmers
semned well-to-do and their lands
were well worked end clean of
weeds. Most of the uplands were in
apple and pear .orchards, the hill
sides in winter wheat and the low
lands in corn. At present tee wheat
is growing in the stook, the corn is
water-logged, but tbe orchards are
promising well.
The attendance at the fair these
days is rather slim. The fair man-
agement aimed at holding the big-
gest Ming on .earth, and they have
got it. The daily gate receipts are
scarcely paying the running expenses
of the fair and interest on capital
• outlay. But the thing goes on
through rand and storm, wlth a con-
fident anticipation of a record-
breaking crowd in the`montlas yet to
come. One day last week was color-
ed -day. Not tbat anybody save

ored people except themselves. They
made it their day, but everybody
else went_ as usual, refusing them
any oonoession.s, not even a any of
cold weber at the drinking fountains,
nor a morsel at any of the restaur-
ants. Does this Icet seem a strange

"In fact," seed gr. Cowan the
other ,d'Ety;• "many of the, township

purposes. In quite a few counties
in the province there are so many
exhibitions that they conflict with
each other seriously. Fewer but bet -
bar exhibibions would be a great im-
provement in these counties."
. It bas been found that a town -
Ship society near Toronto paid out
in 1902 over $5,300 in agricultural
prize, being the largest sum paid
out by e.ny soelety for that Year,
Of the tour societies which paid out
the most for 'agrloultural purposes
two are township organizations. One
township soelety reesiving a grant of
$80 paid out over $1,000 in agricul-
tural prizes, while a district so-
eiety receiving a grant of $800
paid ,out only $1,128. One distriot
receiving a governnient grant of
$520, whose total receipts were $4,-
420 peel out less than $000 for agri-
cultural purposes, Anobbee distriet
society receiving a grant of $380,
weft total receipts a $0.0, paid out
about $800 Ln • agricultural prizes.
Another eociety receiving a grant of
$350, 'with eotal receipts of over $1,-
200, paid less than $250 for agricul-
tural prizes.
Among the thernship soeietles,one
which received a grant of $121,paid,
out only $72 for agricultural prites.
Another one receiving $90 for a gov-
