THE DECLINE OF FARM PRODUCTS AT
FAIRS

Is it at all to be wondered at that the ex
hlblts of farm products at our agriculture
fairs should show falling off year after veal
as is clearly perceptible, when the premiums
upon them bear no proportion to those
given tor horses, trials of speed, foot races
bicycle races, and other things that have
next to nothing to do with farming and are
of a nature to draw public attention away
from the real purposes for which these ex-
hibitions are ostensibly established? A ma
jority of farmers cannot afford or at least
are unwilling to spend money and labor in
preparing for these fairs their choicest pro-
duets and samples of their leading crops,
with no chance, from the meagre premiums
offered, to repay them even in very mod
crate degree. TO suppose that farmers,
merely from desire to show what they can
raise, should carry their products many
miles, spending days and nights in the
work, without fee or reward, while the
owners of horses carry of their hundreds
upon hundreds of dollars for possessing an
animal few seconds faster than somebody
else, when these trials Of speed have practi-
cally nothing to do with farming-is to sup
pose great deal more than will ever be re-
allied.
There is no question but what the cult
walton of a love of ones business, indepen-
dent of the money it brings, is laudable.
The man, indeed, who is actuated by such
love is generally the one who succeeds best
in his business, and therefore what any So
ciety may do to encourage this very proper
spirit is all right. But this being granted
it is absurd to suppose that the monetary
part should be ignored. A man may take
a pleasure in farming. The man who de
lights in it succeeds best as rule, and he
farms for money at last. Those who exhibit
without much thought Of the immediate re-
turn, who think the honor of gaining the
premium Is enough-eyen these look for
ward to the substantial reward which such
honor brings. It is an advertisement for
their goods. Or for their skill, and such rep
utation is always worth money. We think
that the farmer Or the members Of his fam

1AE SHORTAGE in THE WHEAT CROP

SACRED BIRDS.

other loved or venerated some special bird,

| The Game cock in ancient times was con-
sidered by the Syrians and Greeks an en-
blem OF divinity. The cock symbolized the
| call to resurrection upon the burial slabs of
the early scandlnavians. The goose held
high honors in some eastern nations. On
Buddhist monuments the Brahmanee goose
figures frequently. In the temples OF Isis
Jupiter and Pompeii, the Roman goose is
placed with the heathen divinitles. In the
time of Caesar the ancient Britons held it
impious to eat the flesh of the goose.
The Egyptian vulture was worshipped by
the Egyptians, from which fact it was called
Pharaoh's chicken. The Assyrians, on the
death of the Griffin vulture, built mounds
over their remains and consecrated the
places. The Sparrow hawk in Egypt and
Nubia was held in great veneratfon. because
it was made the emblem of their god Osirus,
and among the Greeks it was consecrated
to Apollo. Mauritus saw the coast sayages

Probably no man who is likely to be
on the state ticket has received more
fiattering comment from the State
press than Mr.. E. G. Timme, Of this
city, in connection with his candidacy
for the State Secretaryship. These
comments have not usually been of
the conventional stamp, commencing
simply because the man is deserving
and respectable. These have been ag-
gressiYe, full, interesting, showing that
Mr.. Timme is not only considered an
acceptable man, but an exceptional
one-one to be signaled out among
many deserving and acceptable men
as particularly well fitted for the posi-
ton. Should Mr.. Timme receive the
nomination, it will be particularly sat
isfactory to his many friends and &C
quaintances in this part of the State.
While the prospects are very flattering
that the desires of his friends will be
realized, a strong effort should be made
to secure a solid delegation to the
state convention in which the nomin-
alton will be made. Other strong men
are in the field, and the results are moi

man, for heresy, has resulted in con.
Viction. The real trial will be held
before the Rock River Conference, the
former being in the nature of q grand
jury. In these days of religious toIer-
alton and liberality it would seem
strange to see a man of DR.. Thomas
views expelled from the clerical body.
There is, of course, need of vertical
standards in all important points bear
ing upon religious training and belief,
but there is even with these great OPP
portunity for differences of opinion on
questions in which full and undeniable
light IS not given in the Scriptures.
TO hold a man to the peculiar and
abnormal ideas of some former relig.
ious sage upon questions of this kind
tends to narrow the work of the relig-
ious body. To allow loose interpre-
tations of vital principles in theology is
to destroy faith and open the gates to
the libertine. 1t is very strange if the
Rock River Conference shall decide
that DR.. Thomas is such character in
the religious body,
