FARM FAIRS USEFUL.

They Not Only Educate, but They
Make Money For the Holders.
That the farm fair Is well worth
while has been demonstrated In dol
lars and cents by the department Of
agriculture. Its report shows that
there are In the United States 1903
county fair associations. with a paid
up membership Of 95,321. and that the
total receipts In 1910 of the various
exhibitions we're S2.525, $50.
The agricultural college and the
farmers institute have been benefited
very greatly. The fair gives these in.
stitutes and their workers an opportu-
nifty to meet farmers personally. It
gives an opportunity to secure co
operation In demonstration work,
makes 1t possible to get In touch with
farmers and conduct agricultural
schools and short courses. not only
while the exposition is on. but also In
different parts Of the country later.
1t makes 1t possible to collect In one
place the results of field demonstra-
tons all over the state and enables
college and station men to secure

Old Leather BottIea.

Leather bottles. or blackjacks, were
common in Europe two centuries ago.
The bottles We're often made of one
skin doubled up and closely stitched
together, leaving an aperture for the
neck. The thick piece between was
inserted for the slip. 1t was meant to
be slung at the back, a leather thong
passed through two loops placed on
either side of the neck, and 1t was suf
ficiently fiat at the base to stand when
put down. The stopper was made of
wood, horn or old leather. A good
deal Of care was required in the prep
aration Of the leather, which had to be
oiled and worked with hammers to
make 1t supple and then washed with
I've so that all the impurity was en-
tirely removed, leaving the leather
clean and dry. No moisture or air had
any effect on 1t. Blackjacks were, in
feet, flagons made in various sizes.
They were sometimes pitched inside.

Bathina In Gold.

A Partisan journalist who had spec
ulated In railway shares won 100000
francs as the result of a lucky ven
ture. Drawing 1t In gold, he proceed
ed to a hotel, emptied the bags of
gold In the bed and went to sleep lit

names and addresses Of representative
farmers with whom to correspond In
disseminating agricultural informa-
ton.
At certain periods each day demon
STATIONS are given at different parts
Of the grounds. These demonstrations
include packing Of fruit, manipulation
Of the Babcock test, spraying opera
tons, including the mixing OF sprays,
as we'll as their application: killing.
dressing and packing Of poultry for
market; sanitary handling of milk;
transpanting. budding and pruning Of
trees; seed selection. cheese and butter
making testing agricultural machin-
cry, cooking, blowing matches, etc.
In exhibiting animals hay and bed
ding should be provided free II pos
sible, and grain should be sold at
very moderate rate to exhibitors. This
matter of feed at fairs has caused
lot of trouble. Grating very frequent
ly creeps In. leading to intense dissat-
isfaction and often to unpleasant ex-
peTences.
The judging must be done. so far as
possible. by wholly disinterested ex'
perts. The Judge ought to be rendy to
explain any finding II he is asked to do
so. There are plenty of expert judges
available In all lines now, as there Is
no reason why the best of judges
should not be secured.
The matter OF concessions and
amusements has caused more contro-
versy and discussion than any other
thing In connection with the state or
county fair. Trials Of speed. acrobatic
and sleight OF hand performances, ex-
hibitions of trained animals. moving
pictures. military drills, games OF ball,
foot races and other similar entertain
ments, are all UNDERSTANDABLE when
properly controlled and provide enter
tainment for those who come to spend
an idle hour.
But they should be very carefully
supervised and not he permitted to in
terfere with the main exhibits and
more educational features OF the fair
All entertainments should be restricted
to certain hours. when 1t would be
possible for all who desire to witness
and enjoy them.
1t Is suggested that all county fairs
shall be supervised by the secretary Of
the state board of agriculture or some
one from the department Of agricul-
ture. A general meeting of representa-
tives of all the fair associations should
be held each year for conference and
discussion of important topics.

a Hair Triooer Constitution.


Some one has said that animals have
d hair trigger constitution, says Orison
SWEET Marden In Success Magazine
They go off on the slightest provoca-
ton, because they act from impulse.
They do not know how to control
themselves. The animal instinct DOM
mates.
Self control is the first condition of
all achievement. 1t is said that the
first sign Of insanity Is the loss Of self
control. When a person is no longer
the master of his own acts he Is not
only in danger, but any degree of
achievement Is impossible to him.
Every thought tends to result In an
act, so that thought always leads. The
mental attitude at any moment Is the
pattern which the life processes
weave. The lives of many Of US are
grotesque crazy quilts.

k>Hed BY the Servant.

The amusing mistake once made by
two Abyssinian delegates Of the EN-
peror Meneiek to France Is narrated
by the Paris Gaulols. Awed by the
spiendor OF his gold lace uniform and
the soiemnity OF his imposing man
nef, they mistook the usher at the
door Of the foreign minister's Office
for ID. de Selves himself. As they
were brought into the antesoom the
usher was standing with his hands on
the door handle ready to announce
them. But at the sight of bis silver
chain his medals, his sword, his gold
topped cane and his three oornered
hat the Abyssinians could not be ex-
pected to know they were In the pres
ence Of mere servant. So bowling
low repeatedly. they approached him
slowly and with great respect until
they were within reach of his coattails,
which, one on either side, they seized
IN their hands and kissed. The usher
old not know what to do, but the APP
pearance of the minister relieved the
situation.

The secret Of real contentment lies
not In having more money, better
clothes, bigger house or later model
of automobile than ones neighbor, but
rather In making much of the bless
ings with which any home may be
endowed If its inmates so will-love,
kindness, sympathy, usefulness, tenn
perate living, largeness and breadth Of
view, appreciation Of and gratitude for
the splendid common things, fresh air
blue sky. the pink of dawn, the gold
of sunset, for flowers, for trees, for
grass, for birds. These latter, after
all, are the only things really worth

small compared to service rendered in

insects.

to have their farm name copyrighted
by the payment Of a dollar fee. Too
many go on the principle that 1t Is

better plan to put the name of the
