The Barnwell people. (Barnwell, S.C.) 1884-1925, July 09, 1914, Image 8
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.

STOMACH TROUBLE
FOR FIVE YEARS
Majority of Friends Thought Mr.
Hughes Would Die, But
One Helped Him to
Recovery.
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

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.
