THE sEAsoN OF FAIRS.

O0J
be said to be merely to award pre-
mirms. The great central idea OF
agricultural, mechanical, horti cultural
and household exhibitions, aside from
their social and moral development, Is
that, by bringing to one place, an
nually, animals and articles of superior
excellence as models, they may be con-
venIently seen and studied, and every
one have an opportunity of becoming
acquainted, with the appearance, at
least, of whatever is best and most
proftable-the horse of the most JUS
proportions, either for work or speed !:
the COW that tells best, either as breed.
err, mixer or butter maker; the hog
that seems to be the most economical,
in producing the greatest return for q
given amount of care and food; the
sheep best adapted to farmers circum-
stances, either for wool, the market,
or both, and SO, in general terms,
through the entire range of manu-
featured products.
Many a valuable lesson or hint is
picked up by the curious inspector OF
the article displayed at a fair. With
iuquiring eyes, the individual goes
from point to point, wandering as i'm
pulse or the contact with friends and
acquaintance may direct, until the
whole lesson is finally learned and car
ried home for rehearsal and reflection
BY the Preside, for weeks and even
months afterwards, the merits of the
more attractive articles are canvassed,
and the conclusion to be derived there.
from is reached.
Many a resolution and calculation is
made for the next year, influenced,
often more than the maker would like
to admit, by what he saw and heard at
the fair. He lays his plans for carry
ing off the first premium in stock or
horses, pigs or poultry. grain or plants,
as the case may be. The stimulus
thus given to his mind, the research
made, the effort put forth, and the re.
suits of the experiment, are worth
many dollars to him in future years.
They not only affect him immediately,
but are a permanent acquisition to his
knowledge and qualifications as a
f.rmer, and in consequence he raises
better ste ok, or better crops, ever after.
At the fair the farmer has q chance
to compare himself with his neighbors
To considerable extent, they and their
labors are there before him. He sees
where they excel and where he is de
icieut. Perhaps he does not always
think SO at the time, but his eyes note
the contrast, his memory quietly
treasures it up, and it is uncopscIously,
perha ps, brought into use when occa-
sion r'quires. He -inspects improved
implements and labor saving machin-
cry, AID resolves to have as good as
the rest,if be has not already got them.
He makes up his mind to get some
better blood into his dairy stock, he
selects a better breed of swine, he
obtains better varieties of seeds, pro-
cures new and choice kinds of fruits,
and in manifold ways profits by the
hints derived from the fair, which he
probably did not think at the time
were anything extra or likely to be of
any benefit to him.
