THE COUNTY FAIR
Should be a Fair of the Farm

fanners of Hie country something of
Improved methods of farming The
?<Mii.ty fair huis given to I li?- fan. mm a
chance for <oin|M'tiiion, and when a
fanner starts to produce something
ter than Ids neighbor lit* will surely
makX' Improvements.
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

COW AND HER PRODUCT. 1
Clemson College Weekly Notes
for Farmer and Dairyman.
If you donH know u I tn I your cowk

Korc one thing, tin* farmer has more
time to attend them pro|M'iiy,
Bloat iu i'ohh Ih due to owrftHMllii^

water on 'the animal's sides, following
with a dose of out1 |H>uii?l of emits.
If you sell butter. sell It In attract
ive packages and have a trade mark.
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.

SEWERAGE IN THE COUNTRY.
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.
