In speaking of the fair season, the
American Cultivator arrives at these
sensible conclusions: This is the month
of agricultural exhibitions, and if the
farmer fails TO attend them he is sure to
get behind the procession too far to be a
successful farmer. 1t is not possible
for any farmer to attend fair and con-
verse with fellow farmers without re-
ceiving benefit. The best that is there
shown is within his reach if he will
make the proper effort. The finest
fruits ought to be grown by farmers
generally instead of being rewarded as
the exclusive possession of professional
fruit growers. The fair showing the
best Of agricultural products is an in
centive to efforts TO secure like excel
lence everywhere. Besides, at the fair
is always good opportunity for talking
with successful farmers and learning
the methods of their success.

Col Shervinton, an English officer who
has been in the employ of Madagascar
in its fight against the French, gives
these interesting facts regarding the
war In that country. He thinks that the
Malagasy will make a stand at Babay, a
mountain ridge which the French cannot
avoid. After leaving Andriba their
present position, according to the latest
kilograms, the expedition will cross a
large and well populated valley, about
six miles in extent, to Mangasoavina,
from which point right up to the capital
they will have to proceed along the top
of mountain ridges and through deep
valleys and ravines, cutting their ways
as they 60 along track f1anked with
positions which can be defended with
the greatest ease. Gen Duchesne's plan
of detailing brigade to 60 in advance
of the main body to the capital, and that
without any support, is, the colonel
thinks, sheer madness. The fact is that
the French are counting on collapse of
the Hovas, while there is nothing to
show that the Hoyas have any intention
Of collapsing. There Ia a strong party
in the capital in favor Of the French,
composed OF members Of the cabinet and
other high officials. Apart from this
section the Hova people are most inimical
to the French. The Hova officers are
one OF the great drawbacks. They are
greedy and grasping men, who rob the
soldiers and think Of nothing but
their own ACKNOWLEDGMENT. AS far as
arms and ammunition are concerned
the Hovas have all that could be de-
sired. Their artillery and machine guns
are Of the latest and most approved pat
terms, and numerically are far superb,
