Ladies at Hp Fan Fairs.

The best part Of any agricultural ex-
hibition is the people, and the best part
of the people are the ladies. The legili-
mate aim OF the fair is the instruction of
the people in the details of their calling.
We very properly measure the success of
an agricultural exhibition, not by the
multitudes that throng it, and the en-
trance fees, but by the instruction it at-
lords TO those who come. There should
first be something to see, and then the
more that come the better. No part Of
the exhibition il more instructive than
that which appropriately comes under
woman's supervision. The dairy be-
longs to her, and the bread, the needle
work and the fine arts, the flowers and
the poultry. We are very far from per-
ttction in any Of these departments, aud
we should like TO see the skill and enter
prise of our fair countrvwomcn fully rep
resented in the tairs that are Just before
US. The prizes are worth conteniing
for, aside from those offered by the COM
mittees. The best bread maker in the
