I i i? k that our fairs, while avowedly existing mainly for educii t U?nnf -purpose^, tnr short of af fording the lust ruction they might. 'Plus failure Ih not entirely the fault of the fit! I'M, however, altho it must 0 be admitted they have not boon run in a manner to afford the most in stfuction of (he best kind. But in i h Ih article we have in mind chiefly to call the attention of our readers to means by which they may obtain more benefit from their visits to theae fairs as they now exist, The writer became interested in hog Judging Hpme twenty years ago and went to so* tlie great hog fchow made at the Iowa State Fair. Ilo spent his time around the hog pens' and close to the show ring and when a hog won a prize or was Judged superior to another- he politely ask ed the reason, If he did not himself see It. He. learned more of hog judging in ihLs way in two days thii he could In a month out of books or by himself. Other Southern fairs do not pro vKlo t h.e facilities they should for making t he livestock Judging as in structive as ii iri ii4 h t be, but any Judge is always willing to give his reasons for his award*. In fact, we, think this should always be done on ?every class, whether it Ik asked or not. Tlve, writer recently acted as Judge of Jersey cattle at several fairs. He took pains to state to the spectators IiIh reasons for his re wards. in all cases these spectators showed an appreciation of the cour tesy and in all but one case. even th defeated exhibitors expressed entire t satisfaction with the work. At one fair several who had seen. do/ens of shows Judged before came' forward and stated , they had in or* about the points of excellejcfj in u Jersey cow In (ho hour or two Hpenl hi this bIiow than they had ever known l>. f?.i? I'rvirtMlvv Karmar hoys are especially jjrged to attend the Judging of the livestock and politely ask for tho reasons for the awards If they are not' glvun With out MJc'h ?? n ; l Again, the' average fair visitor goes through a cdrn -exhibit, for In ttiuiicft, and agree* of dlNugrM'tt with Hie Dwanlh without studying the ex hlbiiM or trying to fhid out the good point a of t he winning exhibit* which caused them to bo plated ahead of tin ot he i s. The man who thinks the prize should he given to the larg est earn of corn, for example, haw much of \uluc yet. to learn about com and h<* Hhouid use l? in visits to the fairs this fall aH a means of Increasing it Ik stock of knowledge. There Is 110 subject on which do u thorn farmer# are more in need of informal lou than on. draft horses, i They entertain the inont intense prejudice against any animal weigh ing Over 1,000 or 1,100 pounds. Why not use the fairs thin fall to Increase our ntock of knowledge along thin line? The South must .have heavie work-stock and it can only come through the use of draft blood. The falrH are good for amusement but if this is all that the visitor Ih to get from them, they have not Jus 1 1 fled their existence, nor ban the visitor obtained all from them which he ought to. To the man who Ih In terested in his work and has a pro gressiva desire to do better, there is no entertainment more pleasant o refreshing than that which comes through the gaining of useful know ledge.

A number of newspaper publisher have kicked on the recent act of Con Kress requiring that ownerships and circulation of the daily papers be made public a? sertain periods, claim i ii k that Uncle Sam is thus taking the part of an inquisitive meddler, but there is one editor up in Penn sylvania who goes a little beyond the demand made of him and holds up for the puhjic gaze some of his domestic affaire. This is what he says, after telling who owns his pa per and how far it circulates: "It is not required by the act of Congress, ?but. we do not mind telling the Post master General that, we also own a lawn mower, and have a limited a ni o'u nt of stock in two telephone companies. A dog, locally known as 'Nigger,* tags up around sometimes, i but we disclaim all ownership of or responsibility for him. Said dog sleeps on the mat by our front door when he don't sleep somewhere else. He comes to our house when we have chicken for dinner, and he climbs up and licks our hands and face when ho wants a favor. At oth er times he don't know us. Said dog is a pretty good politician^ We don't know what he Js running for, but | the last we saw yf him he was run ning from chunk of wood we threw at him because he played tag with our undershirt hanging on ?Che clothes line. "We are a Taft man afrid we wear false teeth. "We used to go to Sunday School. "If there is any further informa tion that the , Postmaster General wants in regard to us, or our paper, he it> respectfully referred to the po lice."*- Greenwood Journal.
