The new barn built by Branch & Callanan, of Saranac Lake, is nearly completed, and is a source of great satisfaction to every one. A herd of 33 cows was bought from surrounding farms before the farm was ready and a nearly adequate supply of fresh milk is now obtained from our own cows. The cows, being acclimated, should give no trouble from sickness, and with the excellent care and feeding they receive should soon give all the milk needed, 200 quarts a day. The average cost was $24.62, not including the thoroughbred Ayershire bull that heads the herd. No cow responded adversely to the tuberculin test and recently of 523 cows tested in this vicinity not one had tuberculosis.

Field Day at the sanatorium commemorates the formal opening of the institution, October 10, 1898. This year it dawned bright and clear and the weather was of the best all day. By the morning trains came the former patients to participate in the day's festivities, and, as they mingled on the grounds to witness the games and sports, they brought encouragement to all present by their healthful appearance. They were a living demonstration that the tuberculosis patient can be restored to the workingclass, and take again an active part in the world's labors. The annual reunion of former patients is most helpful to them and the institution. About noon, Governor Douglas and council arrived in their automobiles. They partook of luncheon in the matron's diningroom and then made a tour of inspection through the sanatorium under the direction of the superintendent and some of the housephysicians.

A portion of the room formerly occupied by the laundry is being converted into a laboratory. This new laboratory will be excellently lighted and a great improvement on the old one that is now in the administration building.

Many of the men are very busy just now working on sassafras wood. From the woods three or four miles away they bring branches of sassafras suitable for their work, cut it into proper lengths, and then, with much dint of boring, sand-papering and polishing, turn out some very pretty pin-cushions, ink-stands, smoking and sewing-sets. The sassafras is selected for its beautiful bark which is retained on all the articles made. and because it can be easily whittled; the jack-knife is the principal tool used. Some of the boys have already a good market for their handiwork.

Near the sanatorium grounds on the main road to the village are two small sized buildings in the process of erection. They will both be occupied as general stores, one by John F. Huntress, and the other by John C. Boyle. Both men are former patients. Mr. Huntress has been in business for several years, keeping store in a front room of his own dwelling house. His increase of business warrants the erection of a special building to accommodate it.
