ITS POSSIBILITIES


 The possibilities of the fair become more apparenC each year. As It grows, we can see more clearly what it needs that it may increase more surely and more wisely. AS 1t becomes better in quality, we lea r how it may be improV- cd in many ways.
 The fair should be more than 8 show of the biggest pumpkins, fairest apples, prettiest fancy woik k, incest cake, pastry, etc; it should be better than 8 carnivsl of faEirs, novelties, monstrositles, ex- citing races and sensational pertOrman- ces it should be a school Of experience in all the departments Of the science of life. The exhibits shot li be so arrang cd that every thing will becou 6 an ob- i9ct lesson In it's line, so that by the con- parison we may be able to see what Is good, better, best, and learn to excel.
 The most instructive exhibit to me was that of the SJorrs Agricultural college. It suggested standard by which the farmer should be guided. | iilu ted the. scientific idea in agriculture. A fl ct sight 1t was disappointing p'rlSps. There was nothing great about 1t. The fruits and vegetables, etc., were not l' 'rge. There was nothing ma moth rot abnormal In the cole ction. l he pr s. ence of the outgrown products which strike the beh0lder with species of won- der and greedy admiration, one might easily pass by on the other side & d over look the modest gro wth of the fl test and richest products Uf the kind, in which quality is not sacrificed for the sake of quantity. Not weight and meas ure sim. ply, to sell in market, but the highest grade of CT )ps, having the greatest food values for man and beast seems co be the true scientific idea.
 We all know that fruits, vegetable and all edibles are not the most desira- ble because they are the largest. The right standard is that which Is best for the consumer, and the market value should correspond with the quality of the product.
 This suggests to me the need of 6 scientific standard for the judges at the fair. And would 1t not be we l to atk the Agricultural college 10 work out 8 practical system by winch f. 10 products should be compared and premiume awardedf The horse has his points. s has the OK and the COW. So has ths pumpkin, potato, apple, grape. So have the various works of art. We can all tell what we ke of course but that iE not enough. We should be able to go bS the facts in the case. It is important to dscern the real quality and to swari the premium where of right it belongs. Would 1t not be wise for all the judges to meet before the fair and agree upor certain points of comparison and def nite rules fer judging? By having 8 scientific staude ri and rules, every ex hibit would become educational in the highest sense,-[ O. o. Wright.
