THE COUNTY FAIR Should be a Fair of the Farm er? and For the Farmers. 'I In- <;?. uniy fair is a great luM It it (ion.

In a certain locality in Virginia they have had a corn show for live years. One inai^had taken practically every prise fyr ^our year*, other farmers lust Interest and the show dwindled to julinost nothing. I stirred up an In terest and the llrst year we hud a large Increase in exhibits, and this man who had l>een accustomed to win, lost eyery prize. Last year he made an other efTort hy getting the iH'st seed |H>sslhle and giving the hest cultiva tion and selection and took his share of the prizes with more than llfty ex hibitors. This year the Interest Ik still greater, and we will have a small eoun ty fair, Instead of having only a corn show. A .large |H>rtlon of the farmers have the Idea that the fair Is a gala day or 'lays whore red lemonade Howh and fakers cry their games and take the people' s money, with a few ni<vs and some exhibits of agricultural products grown by the "rich" farmers. Then, too, a great many officers of fair asso ciations have gotten Into a "rut" and think that a fair caiuiot be run unless they havo a small fee out of a bunch of fakers with "crooker" games to steal the visitors' money. The officers and directors of fair as sociations should generally be farmers, or business men Interested In the far mer's welfare. When a fair gets into the bunds of exploiters It is surely 011 the road to failure sooner or later. A fair to lie a success must Ik? "a fair of the farmers, by the farmers, and for the farmers." If your fair is lu a "rut" start now to pull it out and put it on a firm footing so that it may l?e a real help to the community, county and state. Fashions are constantly chang ing?fashions for the ladles, I mCan, and for he men as well. Now we have the automobile fashion or craze. Ev ery farmer must lfuve his Ford ? and a few get some other car. The fair that was satisfactory 10 or 20 years ago will not measure up to the standard now. Fashions in fairs have changed, and you must keep abreast of the times. , This Is the time of year that both fair officers and exhibitors are busy. The officers are busy preparing a pre mium list and catalogue, making ar rangements for special features, etc. In making out a premium list the peo ple or exhibitors should be consulted. The premluins should be given ou things of interest to the farmer, his wife and children. This will make thei people feel that they have some part in the fair. I have some premiums of fered for things the farmer could not exhibit or had no interest In, hence the premiums amounted to nothing. It is nqt a wise plan to follow out last year's catalogue to the letter. If you continue o do this people will lose Interest and not read the catalogue. Put your brain to working for some thing new, but let it Jt>e something of interest to the farmer. Instead of ad vertising a flying machine that never comes have a corn day, when there will be a lecture and demonstration of the selection of seed and exhibition corn. Or you may have a special live stock day. I know of one fair hat has sarted a Hereford cattle sale one day of the fair, which has brought crowds of peo ple. Now they propose to have days set apart for hog sales, sheep sales, etc. The people will be given a chance to bring in their pure-bred live stock and sell at auction. This will also draw buyers and distribute "Well-bred stock which will be worth much to the live stock interests. ? The premiums should be given for things that count for the good of the farmer's future. Do not give ftffcml ums for such things as "the largest ear of corn" or "the tallest stalk of corn," but make them for the nearest Ideal ten ears, or one bushel of corn. This will teach those who see the exhibit what it takes to make an ideal ear or an exhibit of corn. ? Southern Farm Journal. I ' ? ?

People will pay you more for it that way. The vow should l?e attended rvgu larly. Keep regular hours for milking and feeding "ud try not to miss thorn, Regular attention will count 1" the milk production. A profitable cow may make enough to support hereself and the hoarders, too.' Hut why have hoarders? Put them to the Babcock test. It never makes a mistake. Cows are somewhat like huniai^i he lugs. No t.wo of theui will do jheir best with exactly the same food ami treatment. Keep records and loan) your cow's habits ami needs. Milk a cow clean every time. Other wise, her milk production will gradual ly dcrease. Anything that disturbs or excites a Cow, especially just lx?fore or at the time of milking, will have an effect ui>on hoth the quality and the quun Itlty <>f the milk. The dairy cow'iijchlef pur|>ose in life is to convert feed into milk. To do this she must have good feeding pow ers. In a dairy cow, a long barrel and a strong Jaw are two desirable fea tures, one indicating large digestive capacity and the other strong feeding lowers. A cow that cannot cat a large quantity of feed cannot give a large quantity of milk. Pisgah News Notes. Itemhert, ,S. C? July 22. ?

One great problem peculiar to the rural districts is that or the* proper dis posal of poisonous organic refuse and similar waste matter. In the cities, such matter is completely and satisfac torily taken care of in the modern sew* erage systems, and thus the city is en abled to preserve a cleanliness which Is its greatest aid in fighting disease. When such matter is allowed to stand in the open, as every rural resident knows, it becomes a swarming place for files and a hot-bed for disease germs; it pollutes the soil and drink ing water, and is always an unsightly and embarrassing nuisance. Such con ditions are generally the cause of sick ness and disease. The Sanitary Septic Tank, especially designed along approved lines for use in the rural districts, and manufactur ed by Weston & Brooker, Columbia, S. C., completely solves the problem of sewage disposal for the rural home. It Is of small size; made of reinforced concrete; simple, easy to install, never gets out of order or needs attention. Placed just beneath the surface, and connected with the house Hfr a short I pipe line, it securely keeps uie poison ous organic matter enclosed until, by natural processes, it disintegrates, and then seeps out into the ground, harm less "mineral matter and water. There is no odor, no soil pollution. Approved by health authorities. Its cost is small. It afTords all the conveniences and the full protection of the city sewerage system. It is well worth your while to know all about this Sanitary Septic Tank, and you can do so by simply writing to Weston k Booker, Columbia, S. C.? A.dv.
