Influence Of Wheat.-The culture Of
wheat ,exerts greater influence upon

than all other cereals combined.
When we take into consideration the
number that are engaged either direct

are astonished., First, those that are
employed in preparing the soil and
cultivating the plant, next the vast
number that are engaged in manufac-

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

THE EXCEL ENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes

all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the

given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty

The County Fair.

The county fair season for 1898
promises to be an unusually successful
one. Crop conditions throughout the
spring and summer have been favor
able, barring the drought in July, and
the i'll effects of that have been neu-
tralized to a great extent by the gen
eral rainfall OF August; and, all things
considered, the prospects for abundant
harvests in all farm products are very
bright at this time. Good pasturage
and heavy crops of hay and forage
plants have insured an abundance Of
feed for live stock; oats and wheat are
yielding we'll and are likely to bring
good prices; the corn crop may not
prove as heavy as that Of last year, but
will furnish enough for feeding pur-
poses and some to spare; so, on the
whole, it has been a prosperous year,
and we can think Of no better way in
which the farmer can celebrate his
good fortune than by taking day off
and going to the fair with his wife
and children. The county fair was in
stituted for the especial benefit and
pleasure of the farmer, to afford him
a place where his choicest products can:
be displayed to the best advantage,
and where he can meet his friends
from all parts of the county in a So
cial way. Though the county fair as
it now exists Is great institution and
worthy of every encouragement, there
is still room for Improvement, and no
class Of people can do more to elevate
the standard of such exhibitions than
the farmers, if they will but attend
them and show an intelligent interest
in their welfare and management.
