The Use Of a County Fair.

We are frequently confr onted
with the question, What is the use
of n County Fair, and why tax the
public for its support? We answer
first, because the County Fair is a
public institution and the infiu-
ences for good are of public benefit.
But says some grumbler, l never
expect to enter stock, grains or
vegetables for competition for
premiums, and the fair is useles to
me save as place ut which to have
a days recreation.
Now let us see: The County fair
is, first, the place at which the best
of stock of all kinds is exhibited,
and every person who attends the
show learns something new con-
cerning the mode of breeding, feed,
care and handling by which the
best results are obtained. Take

Moses Nixon, who was struck
with a cinder on the head by New
ton Frazee, while engaged in q
quarrel, at Gore, on April 10, 1888,
died last Tuesday evening from
the effects of the injury. The Cor
oner, on Wednesday found a ver-
in accordance with the above facts.
Frazee was arrested the same day
the trouble occurred, and fined for
disturbance of the peace. A few
days later when it became evident
that Nixon was seriously hurt, he
was arrested again on charge of
assault with intent to kill, and
waived an examination before the
magistrate, and put in bail in the
sum of 5000 for his appearance at
Court. Later, when it became APP
Parent that Nixon would probably
not survive, he left the neighbor-
hood, and up to the present writ
ing, has not been heard of.

for example the single business of
reproducing the horse. In the
single city of New York there are
annually sold about $l5,OOO,O0O
worth Of horses, while every city
in the country demands a proper
tionate number. 1t is estimated
that fully one-half of the horses
sold in our large cities go directly
to the stables of the street railway
companies and are carefully select
ed with reference to their work.
The average life of n car horse, as
such, is five years, and their cost
when bought ranges from 1916 to
$3.50. The supply at the present
comes principally from Iowa, Illi-
nois and Indiana, in which states
this class of horses are bred as
business, the growth Of which is
directly traclable to the influence of
the County Fair. In all these
States the eastern dealer has his
agents and the breeder is enabled
to sell at any time for the highest
price.
The influence of the County Fair
is fast bringing the farmer to see
that his interest lies in breeding
all kinds of stock for special pur-
pose, and in every community of
wide awake farmers special breed
ing is the rule and the old hap
hazard plan the exception, and in
this the County Fair is the farmer
and stock breeders great free
school and well worth the money
it costs. What is true as regards
stock is also true in the matter of
Agricultural and other machinery.
Upon these labor-saying devices
has depended to a great extent the
progress throughout Christendom.
The reaping machine is good in
stance in point as contributing
toward increased production and
the cheapening of commodity
that has gone far in sustaining the
population of Europe and America.
If the people of the world to-day
had to depend upon the simple
contrivances of century ago they
would be In starving and abject
condition, pitiable in the extreme.
Had the world remained stationary
in mechanical inventions and in
the facilities of distribution for the
past one hundred years the fears
of Malthus would have long ago
been realized in the deficiency of a
supply of food for an increasing
population, and where now there
is plenty famine would exist.
What would be thought five
had to go back to methods prevail
ing forty years ago, when corn was
shelled by scraping the ears on the
sharp edge of a shovel? Five
bushels of shelled corn would be
the result of a days labor. More
than half the corn produced in the
country is raised in six States, in
which 2,O56,77 person were engag-
ed in agriculture in 1880. 1t would
have been necessary for this entire
community to have sat astride of
shovels for 40 days out of 365 to
have shelled their corn crop for
the year of 1880 by the old process.
AT the County Fair the farmer
and his wife, the mechanic and the
laborer are educated into the use
and economy ofall these and many
other things conducive to his hap
piness and comfort. We can't do
without the County Fair.
