sociations of our forefathers, she was crude. The scrub of to-day. Yet our grandmothers, some of them at least, with their earthern pans and dash churns knew how to make good butter and cheese.
The best of butter usually sold at from eight to twelve cents per pound, and cheese from six to ten cents. I recall a conversation that occurred in our family when grandmother, on an occasion when butter was scarce and high, took the ground that the going price at the time, which was one shilling (16 2-3 cents) per pound, was too high, and she felt that she was wronging her customers to take more than 12 1-2 cents. The average herd of cows of that day did not yield more than from two to two hundred and fifty pounds of butter per cow for the year, while to-day the average is probably over three hundred, and many herds go as high as four hundred pounds.
Eggs, when there was any market for them, usually sold at from eight to twelve cents per dozen. Hay from $10 to $15 per ton usually, but in times of scarcity I have known it to sell as high as $40 per ton. Potatoes usually sold at from 15 to 25 cents per bushel, the latter being regarded a very good price.
Most every farmer kept a few sheep in those days, and their good wives had their spinning wheel and loom, and the processes through which the wool went after leaving the sheep's back about election time, or early June, until its return from the fulling mill, in the fall, all ready for the shears of the tailor, or more usually the tailoress, who had been engaged to cut, and perhaps make the suits of clothes that were to re- ward us for our toil, were very interesting, for it was the only full cloth we had any knowledge of.
So also of flax, contrary to the present ideas of some gentlemen. It was quite commonly grown, spun and woven into bedding, underwear, table linen, towels, etc., specimens of which are now on exhibition in Eagle hall.
Farm laborers were comparatively scarce, good men getting from $10 to $15 per month, while the day laborer got from 62 1-2 cents to $1 per day, according to the season, with the exception of the time of har- vesting the hay crop, which all having to be cut and gathered by hand, created a great demand for help. Consequently wages were often as high as $2, and sometimes $3 per day.
Corn and rye were used a great deal as a medium of exchange with the day laborer, and generally a bushel of either was regarded as a fair standard for a day's work, the hours of which were from sunrise to sunset.
But my allotted time is up, and I must close, but in closing what shall I say of the agriculture of the future, with the improvements con- stantly being made in farm machinery and implements, with improved horses, sheep and swine, poultry, with the Holsteins, Ayreshire, Short- horn, and the queen of the dairy, the little Jersey. With the advanced intelligence of the agriculturist, constantly being enlarged by the diffu- sion of the results of the scientific researches of the national department

of agriculture, and the agricultural colleges and experiment station of the states; from the frequent exhibits of the various agricultural, horti- cultural, promological and floral societies, and the almost weekly discuss- ing of these industries carried on by our grange and institute meetings, augmented by the agricultural press.
This prediction I dare make, that grand and creditable as has been the march of progress in the century just closed, they will be greatly ex- celled during the next, and may my predictions become true, and may we all have a just pride in having contributed our best efforts to so great and grand a result.
DAVID HEALD, ESQ.
President Wallace :- I see here an old resident of Milford, who has always taken a deep interest in everything pertaining to her welfare, and who, as one of our leading manufacturers, has and is doing as much as any one to develop the manufacturing interests of the town, David Heald, who will speak in regard to our local interests.
MR. PRESIDENT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN :
Once in a hundred years at least, it may be well to remember that law proclaimed so long ago, that "In the sweat of thy face shall thou eat bread," and that it is also true of the clothes we wear and the house we live in, with all its furnishings of use or ornament.
So we have not only labor on the farm to secure the bread, the meat, the food we need to make up the growth and supply the waste of the body, but also labor in the mill, the shop, the factory, to transform what is called raw materials into articles of use and beauty demanded by our civilization. And in this, as in the labor of the farm, field or forest, there must be sweat, and cost, not of money, but of labor. Money is only the yard stick with which we measure the work. And making it longer or shorter by legislation may have little or nothing to do with the amount of physical or mental force to prepare the necessities or lux- uries of life. Some think that an unequal share of this toil is appor- tioned to certain classes of persons. If so, that only shows the fact that this law is not well executed. And that may lead us to consider whether the non-enforcement of law is not a chronic condition of our time. The remedy is being sought, so far at least as the labor question is concerned, by men on the farm, in the mill, the factory, the mine, on our railways, in our cities by the pulpit and the press, by Coxey's tramps in the east and west, and by senators and representatives in our national Congress, and no doubt some one ere long will invent a regulator which applied to our labor problem will distribute the burdens of life equally among men and women as well.
Milford one hundred years ago had many good acres of soil, splen- did forests of timber, hills full of the choicest granite, and yet all this wealth of material was almost valueless to man. Sweat of the face must be due the soil, labor must bring down the giant trees and convert them into houses to live in. The granite, undisturbed in centuries, must be

uncovered, broken in pieces and huge blocks. lifted out of their beds, and by patient toil with hammer and chisel transformed until they take the shapes in the mind of the artisan, and the polish of a mirror. This and a thousand more things which I have not time to mention are what Milford manufacturers have been doing for the last hundred years.
The first manufacturing business of importance after the incorpora- tion of the town was the building of the mill for cotton manufacturing, now owned by the Morse & Kaley M'f'g. Co., in 1813, being one of the first cotton mills built in this state. Souhegan mill was built in 1847, and burned in 1872. This being our largest industry, it was a serious blow to our prosperity. But some of our smaller business has been en- larged and new ones come in, so that for the last few years our town has had a steady, healthy growth.
Our products are cotton goods, hosiery, post office outfits, leather, morocco, paper boxes, fancy boxes and desks, baskets, cooper work, planes and coopers' tools, carriages, painting, furniture, and last but not least, incubators that will hatch chickens by lamp-light, and brooders that will call them in when it rains. These eventful machines, I think> have a capacity of about 200 per day, and my friend Billings will apply an automatic counting attachment that will relieve our poultry men of the necessity of counting their chickens before they are hatched. These new methods leaves the hens free to devote themselves exclusively to the production of the raw material.
Our manufacturing establishments are not large, and the proprie- tors are not men of wealth, as that word signifies to-day ; but men who have their own fortunes to make, and sometimes to discount the misfor- tues of others which is always incident to a manufacturing business ; practical men who obey the law and put a law amount of sweat and brain in their work. Many in my memory of forty-four years have passed away and the ranks are filled by others. These names are known to some of you : Leonard Chase, Daniel Putnam, George Daniels, Robert Knight, Wm. Pratt, Francis J. French, Hiram Daniels, Andrew Fuller, Wm. Gilson, Moses French, W. L. Pierce, John Mills, Timothy Kaley.
These were true men, who had at heart the growth and good of this town. All were captains in our industrial army, not marching to Wash- ington to ask government ; but guards at home, furnishing employment to many, encouraging education, and favoring good morals and religion, and so building up a community to which this government could look for help, which was true when the dark hour of our country's peril was upon us, and she did not look and ask in vain. They all died in the faith of our free American institutions, and shall they be less honored than they who laid down their lives on more southern fields.
And now on this hundredth birth-day as we pause in our journey to look back, we say peace to their ashes and honor to the memory of Milford's dead industrial leaders. And resuming our business cares and burdens, and wiping the sweat from our brows, we turn our faces toward the morning of the twentieth century, not knowing if we shall see its rising.

COL. O. W. LULL MEMORIAL FOUNTAIN.

MILFORD CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
Dedication of Memorial Fountain.
The spot upon which this fountain stands is located due west of the residence of the late Col. O. W. Lull, and commands a pleasant view from the street and surrounding neighborhood. The fountain and the accompanying adornments are of a most appropriate character, and form an interesting chapter in the memorial efforts of Mrs. Lull, and the sen- timents so beautifully expressed are dedicated to the memory of the men of Milford who died representing her in the rebellion.
The bronze structure is a work of art, about 12 feet in height. It stands upon a granite foundation placed in the centre of a circular basin, some forty feet in circumference. The fountain outlets for water dis- play are numerous, and above and below them are attached electric lights which more fully develop the sentiment of the undertaking. Around the outer edge of the basin, sufficient space has been allowed for the per- manent location of a tablet from every state in the union, a number of which are now in position. The present marked feature of the enter- prise are four bronze tablets as follows : one on north side of fountain bearing the inscription : "Memorial Fountain, dedicated by Oliver W. Lnll Post, G. A. R .. on the 100th anniversary of the town, June 26th, 1894." South side tablet, "Our patriot dead, they still live in words the truest, deeds the noblest and in love that is eternal." East side tablet, " In honor of the gallant men from Milford, who pledged or gave their lives for liberty and in defence of the Union." West tablet, " Liberty. Heroes of the Revolution, 1776-1781, on land and sea. Patriots of 1812. Union." This memorial fountain was formally dedicated on Centennial day, in the presence of a large number of our citizens, by Post O. W. Lull, with appropriate ceremonies.
Oliver W. Lull Post, J. R. Perkins, Commander, assembled at G. A. R. headquarters, at 8.30 o'clock, and under escort of the Milford Cornet Band, J. F. Holland, leader, marched to the residence of Mrs. Mary A. Lull, taking position on the south side of the Fountain.
Mrs. Lull, in transferring the Memorial to the Post for dedication, spoke as follows :

MILFORD CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
MR. COMMANDER AND COMRADES : - Will you raise the flag and dedicate this Fountain in honor of all the gallant men from Milford. of whatever nation, race or color, who pledged or gave their lives for " Lib- erty" and in defence of " The Union."
The flag was then unfurled in the presence of a large number of citizens and the band played the Star Spangled Banner. In accepting the memorial for dedication, Commander J. R. Perkins observed the ceremony as laid down in the Grand Army ritual.
Commander - In the name of the comrades of the G. A. R., repre- senting as they do all soldiers and sailors, who defended our homes and our nation, I thank you for this privilege and this honor in dedicating this Fountain.
Adjutant - Detail a guard of honor.
Officer of Day, you will direct the officers of the guard to their stations.
The guards having been placed on the four sides of the fountain, the commander called
Attention-In the name of the Grand Army of the Republic I now dedicate this Memorial Fountain. I dedicate it to all Soldiers and in- cluding those of the war of 1776-1812, and 1848, whose remains lie on the camping ground of the dead, for their record has been handed down to us by history, and comrades, I especially dedicate this Fountain to all soldiers and sailors who fought in the late rebellion, for a free country and free states and for freedom, the constitution and the flag, and as this Fountain, sparkling with living waters, shall be a memorial of this cen- tennial day, and when the hands of another generation shall reach forth to catch its silvery spray, and even when its waters cease to flow and it crumbles to the dust, may the memory of this noble woman, Mary A. Lull, together with the brave soldier, Col. Oliver W. Lull, and members of O. W. Lull Post, and all Milford's war sons, to whom this Fountain is dedicated to-day, shall live never to be forgotten. Comrades, salute the dead.
Commander to Mrs. Lull -Our services of dedication are ended. In the name of my comrades I thank you for your loyalty to all of the defenders of our republic, and for your courtesy in permitting us who are bound by special ties to dedicate this fountain in honor of our dead.
Chaplain, pronounce the benediction.
The Officer of the Day theu withdrew the guard.
During the ceremonies the Lyndeboro' Heavy Artillery, headed by the Wilton Cornet band, moved into the enclosure, and occupied a posi- tion south of the Fountain. The exercises, which had taken place in the presence of a large number of citizens and friends, were of a most interesting nature, at the conclusion of which the guards were with- drawn, and the procession, with the addition of the Lyndeboro' Artillery, was reformed and marched to the headquarters of the Grand Army of the Republic and dismissed.

EVENING EXERCISES.
A reception was held on the grounds at 8 P. M. Capt. J. M. Stanyan acted as master of ceremonies. A song was rendered by the Dearborn brothers, remarks and reading of an original poem by Maj. Proctor of Wilton :
Pure water, cold, cold water, God's kindest gift to man, And he who plants a fountain Works on his sacred plan. To him will come the laurel, The crown is justly won, To him will come the welcome, " Faithful servant. Well done."
Pure water, cold, cold water, What a boon to ease the pain Of the poor old wounded soldier Upon the war wrecked plain, Lying, with burning thirst a dying On the field of slaughter,
Begging, pleading, no one heeding, For just one drink of water ;
Pure water, cold, cold water, May it be the strongest link Of old Post Lull's comradeship, Their only perfect drink, So when their friends from rustic shades Come down from up the mountain, May this beacon shine, and guide their line, To treat them at this fountain,
And 'neath its light repeat again The days of duty done. Of dry and dusty weary marches, And fields that were nobly won. Of how they fought, the shell, the shot, The oft-repeated story, The days of blood, of cruel war, Fighting, dying for "old Glory," Which uow floats so proudly o'er us, In a beauty true, divine, The emblem of our country free, " May its stars forever shine."
Yes, cast your bread npon the waters, And after many days, It will return to bless you In many precious ways. For He, who from Horeb's rock Made the crystal life stream free, Placed his rainbow in the sky, That all the world might see The beauty of the rain-drop, In Heaven, so clear and pure, On earth, with healing in its wings, The omnipotent cure.

Pure water, cold, cold water .
That from this fountain flows,
Is as a leaf from its doner's life In the blessings she bestows. The soldier's friend till life shall end, With a'heart of charity.
To her, the crown,, " Well done, well done, Good and faithful," it will be,
For our promise is, " Who giveth the cup Of water pure and free
To even the least of one of these Hath done it unto Me."
Remarks by R. D. Jones of Boston, architect of the fountain; song entitled "Fairy Land Waltz," by a quartette of young ladies; remarks by Rev. F. L. Knapp, and Rev. Joseph Manuel. H. F. Warren being called upon said that while he could not perhaps claim to have the youngest son of a veteran, he could, however, boast of the youngest son of a veteran in the United States to turn on an electric light. At this point the electric lights attached to the fountain were flashed upon the scene, the switch being turned on by H. F. Warren, Jr., nine weeks old. Remarks and songs by John Hutchinson, assisted by Mrs. Birney, and granddaughter. Closing remarks by David Heald and W. W. Hemen- way. The large American flag that hung suspended over the fountain bore the following inscription :
"The stars shall shine on forever, they are all there. Thanks to you and your comrades."
Refreshments were served after the exercises. The occasion was one of peculiar interest to all present.

Loan and Art Exhibition.
The Loan and Art Exhibition, as held at Eagle Hall, was a very successful feature of the day's celebration. It reflected credit alike upon the committee who had it in charge and the generosity of the people, in contributing so liberally towards its success, by loaning so many ancient and interesting relics of by-gone days. It was unfortunate that this exhibition could not have been continued longer, that the public might study it more carefully and thereby gain the information and instruc- tion that it contained.
The committee organized by the choice of Mrs. J. E. Webster as President. The hall was arranged with tables on eitber side and in the centre, and their historical articles arranged upon them, with the names of the loaners and the historical significance plainly marked upon a card and attached to each article, thus enabling the visitors to examine and inspect them intelligently. By an unfortunate oversight, these cards, which contained so much interesting information, were early destroyed, otherwise we could describe this exhibit more minutely and comprehen- sively. We were enabled however, from some records that were pre- served, to give a partial list of those who contributed articles, and, although not perfect, furnishes some idea of the number and size of the exhibit.
Mrs. Nancy Bennett, aged ninety-three years, was present during the day and gave an illustration of the method of spinning, with the old fashioned wheel.
