for Am Visitor Who Coot with Opon Eyes and Mind Alert. In view of the fact that there is more or leas doubt as to whether or not Barnwell County will have a fair this year, the following article from The Profl^essive Farmer should prove of interest to those who have the agricul tural advancement of this section at heart. For the past three years Barn well has had county fairs—good fairs ■ they were, too—but there was a woeful lack of co-operation on the part of the people as a whole. The gentlemen who promoted the fairs have stated that unless there is a more united ef fort on the part of those who are di rectly benefitted by these annual events there will be “nothing doing” this year. The article from The Pro gressive Farmer is as follows: • Once again we urge the importance of the county fair. “But why a fair?” some one asks. Oh, well, why any ef fort for the good of the county or the State? For though the fairs, both county and State, are for the most part organized as private associations, they generally represent praiseworthy pa triotism orf the part of the backers, and too often their reward is only the privilege of going down into their pockets to meet some deficiency oc casioned, in part perhaps, by your fail-.^ . . . ... .. . .. j-H -Correct ure to make an exhibit or to attend The answer in brief as to why you should have a fair is, for the public good—for giving individuals new ideals and for stimulating community pride. But these fairs are social organiza tions as well, and so helpful in this re spect that it is questionable whether in any other way they serve so large a purpose. Bringing together the rep resentatives of every township at some -central place like the county seat leads the people to know one another, a knowledge as powerful with the com munity as the “know thyself” with the individual. They are likewise educa tional. The average fair, county or state, has something for the visitor who goes with his eyes open and mind alert. Moreover, our fairs are putting large stress on these educational features each year. The midway is lessening, .the gambling devices and those who play there are on the decrease, and the drinking places have gone or are go ing. This new order of things means much for the larger fairs, but more for the smaller ones, which have suf fered from the false impression that special attentions beyond their financial reach were necessary to their success. Numerous most successful county fairs were held last year with their agricuf- tural, educational, and livestock ex hibits for their sole drawuig cards. If your county isn’t in line with the progressive counties with fairs, why not you and your neighbor get Busy at once? By a little determined effort on the part of all classes^you may have a fair yet—may at least hiake a good start in and do better next year.

THE COW AND HER PRODUCT Clemson College Weekley Notes for Farmer and Dairyman. (These notes are prepared weekly by the Dairy Division of Clemson College, which will be glad to answer all questions pertaining to dairying.)' The farm edw should not lie lock ed in the stable at night without ample ventilation. Where there is no ar rangement for ventilation, thfe cow should be left in the lot at night. Washing the udder before milking helps to keep down disease germs. A cow should be free from excite ment just before and at milking time. Abuse or excitement will affect the flow of milk. A calf should be weaned from its mother within three 4 a y s after its birth. i The milker’s hands must be not only clean but also dry. Never mix warm cream with cool cream. Let the warm cream cool first The best milk house is small, with no room for junk. Straining does not purify milk. It merely gets out the visible dirt. That which cannot be seen is the most harmful. y costs less to deliver butter fat than any other crop on the farm. Cleanliness is the most important rule in the dairy. It must begin with the cow and the milker. Dr. J. W.

Pomeroyton, Ky.—In interesting ad vices from this place, Mr. A. J. Hughes writes as follows: "I was down with stomach trouble for five (5) years, and would have sick headache so had, at times, that I thought surely I would die. I tried different treatments, but they did not seem to do me any good. I got so bad, I could not eat or sleep, and all my friends, except one, thought I would die. He advised me to try Thedford’s Black-Draught, and quit taking other medicines. I decided tC take his advice, although I did not have any confidence in it I have now been taking Black-Draught for three months, and it has cured me— haven’t had those awful sick headaches since I began using it. I am so thankful fot'what Black- Draught has done for me.” Thedford’s Black-Draught has been found a very valuable njedicine for de rangements of the stomach and liver. It is composed of pure, vegetable herbs, contains no dangerous ingredients, and acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely used by young and old, and should be kept in every family chest Get a package today. Only a quarter. Pleasure and Protection “One of the best reasons why I would not he without telephone service,” writes a Georgia far mer, “is the pleasure it gives my wife and the knowledge that while I am away, she has the pro tection that the telephone gives.” On the farm the telephone dispels loneliness and is the means of bringing help in any emer gency that may arise. * If you haven’t a telephone on yoyr farm see the nearest Bell Telephone Manager or write for our free booklet and learn how little this service. costs. * • r ,.. x FARMERS’ LINE DEPARTMENT SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY ■ I BARNWELL INSURANCE AGENCY WILL INSURE YOUR LIFE, YOUR INSOME, .
