The County Fair.
..,,t:ttttttt''

Tho county agricultural fair is one
.ho greatest educators that can be
VI .arized in the interest Of improved
,'su,ing and stock growing. The
DatSering together of the products Of
30 farm to compare with those Of
s .r neighbor is the incentive for
!1,nrovement, both in variety and
sreed of product, and in growth, cul-
L,.ot;on and care. 1t is by this
motbod of comparison that We are
a.ob,ed TO estimate the possibilities
IN our work
The educational advantages Of the
,,ir have practically no limit; even
,be social features are educational
ond of immense value to the young
noonle. There is an acknowledged
advantage, with the business man and
,be politician, in acquiring a wide ac-
onaiptance over the county and State.
There is also an advantage with the
yopng people in forming acquaint-
snces outside Of their own immediate
neighborhoods.
The county fair should be managed
IN spch a way as to afford the greatest
nossble advantages for bringing the
neople together in the common inter-
,ets of the farm and home. Suitable
halls should be provided on the fair
grounds for holding meetings in the
interest of dairying, fruit growing,
corn culture, poultry raising, in short,
tbe free discussion Of any and all
tones of interest to the farm and
home. These halls should be light,
airy. well ventilated rest rooms, with
easy and comfortable seats for the
tired TO rest and with a degree of
ease and comfort listen to the ad-
dresses and discussions on the various
subjects that may come up.
The institute idea may thus be in
Produced and cultivated to the adj
vantage OF the fair visitor, and the
trifing side show and silly amuse-
ment features that have persistently
forced their way into the fair grounds
as a legitimate form of amusement
for these great mixed audiences, be
educated out of existence. Public
sentiment is for reform, and the fairs
Of the country Of all classes, both
great and small, will be forced to look
more carefully after the class and
character of entertainment they il
cense to come on the fair grounds

Concrete Floor For Cow Stables.

Concrete Floor For Cow Stables.
A Kentucky dairyman asks: as a
concrete floor injurious to COWS in
winter? l am thinking of putting in
d cement floor, and wish to know if
the COWS are liable to have rheuma-
tism or sore feet from lying or stand
ing on this kind of floor, and are they
apt to hurt themselves by slipping
DOWN."
We are of the opinion that the CO.
ment floor is all right, provided
enough bedding is used under the
cows, but If bedding is scarce, as is
sometimes the case where small
grains are not grown, we would ad-
wise that the cement floor extend only
about one foot back from the manure
gutter and the remainder of the floor
under the cows be of clay. This, If
properly cared for, makes a very fair
floor, but of course cannot be washed
like the cement could. Sawdust or
shavings makes a good bedding on a
cement floor, and in fact we have had
no serious trouble in using cement
floors IL bedding of any kind was
used. The following clipping from
Hoard's Dairyman gives new
method Of making cement floors that
might be interesting:
Put down a foundation of one
part cement, five parts sand and six
to eight parts stone. Smooth the
surface, and lay upon 1t one layer of
tar paper and then a coat of tar paint,
Continue this until three thicknesses
of paper and two of paint have been
used. Into this soft concrete and
through the paper drive spikes, let
tlng them project above the paper
three-quarters of an inch. Then put
down one to four mixtures of cement
and sand thick enough to cover the
spikes. Lay upon this a sheet of
metal lath or fine chicken wire, and
cover this with one and one-fourth
inches of a one to three mixture II
wet sand is used, or one to four
mixture If the sand is perfectly dry.
After the cement has begun to set,
rough the surface with a broad
trowel, putting on the much desired
sand paper finish. The reinforcement
suggested would not be necessary for
ordinary strain. 1t would be advisa-
Die, however, under cows or horses,
when one wishes to economic, to use
the thin coat of two inches.-South-
ern Agriculturist.
