date OF this annual festival. In some parts OF

or the annual visit Of the monster and mas

idol of youth may not have been really and
truly county fair" for not all county fairs can
enjoy the prestige Of location at the county seat.
but after all. that is a minor matter In the eyes
Of the outsider and no man can ever be convinced
that the world ever held more important "agri.
cultural exposition" than the one at which as
q youngster he exhibited his chickens or peddled
peanuts sold scorecards.
That as has been said the oldfashioned county
fair hasn't been changed beyond recognition, even
to this day. Is all the more a matter OF surprise
when take into account the revolutionary
changes that have taken place In other phases
OF rural life. The Introduction OF rural free de-
livery. for instance. has done away with the
necessity and the opportunity for those friendly
gatherings at the crossroads store when the farm
ers who drove over for the mail stole little
leisure In which to swap stories. Similarly
phonogrsph in every farm house has somewhat
du'ed the appetite for those periodic concerts
at the little red school house. the presence
on the roads Of those slipping, screeching automo'
biles has knocked all the romance out of those
buggy rides In the moonlight when old Dobbin
was allowed to fnd his own way and set his own
pace.
- Not only has the county fair withstood the
rayages OF time and the onslaught OF modern
invention, but in some respects It has benefited
by a lapse Of time That is. many a fair Of the
present day is vastly bigger and better than was
the corresponding event on the same grounds
score or moro of years ago. 1t Is not due solely
to the natural increase of population, either. nor
yet to that "backto.the-soil" crusade which has
swept over the land. The latter has helped. how.
ever, because It has added to the population OF
many n rural district men and women who are
engaging In farming for pleasure as well as for
profit and who enter their products at the near

even though the prizes would not pay the express
charges on the animals.
The automobile despised though it be in many
quarters. has had big influence in bringing
greater prosperity to our latter.day county fairs
Tho advent of the horseless vehicles and the fad
for touring. taken In conjunction with that i'm
provement of country roads which has been 60
inx on this past decade so has made II possible
for farmers to travel greater distances to the
fairs. The ter OF the soil who In the old days

for the use Of farmers, take in" anywhere from
three to half a dozen fairs held within a radius
OF say twenty or thirty miles OF course. this
swels the gate receipts and 1t also results in
the exhibit classes being better filled.
On the other hand. the motor car has brought
to the county fairs certain patronage from city
folk who almost never attended these rural exhibit
tions In the old days. Some of the city folks are
those who have friends relatives In the country
with whom they hold reunion at the fair.
Others are one-time rural residents who. having
gone to town and made their pile" find that
they can come back via the automobile when
they would not take the trouble II II meant getting
up early In the morning to catch an excursion
train. And finally there the city folk who
have neither kith nor kin nor the ties OF old
associations to draw them to the fair, but who

and who hnd 1t quite as novel an experience in

county fair. but their contributions at the ticket
wondow are we'll worth having and generally ap-
preciated. for. be It known. the average county
fair is conducted by farmers and other members
Of the community who can't wholly overlook the
financial side.
Yet another new influence that has helped the

betting and the abandonment of racing at most

On the other hand, no man should
pursue foolhardiness and expose him.
self to danger unnecessarily. The
great trouble is that most bulls are
handled too little, being confined con-
tinuously for long periods in small
dark and often filthy quarters. An
attendant should move quietly around
the bull; shouting, loud talking and
quick moves excite the bull of ner-
vous temperament.
While some object to the staff, still
we believe 1t should always be used
in handling the bull as lead strap
furnishes no protection whatever. We
also believe that the stock bull which
Is not to be used IN the show ring
should be dehorned, even though the
necessity may not be very apparent,
as It modifies the danger quite ma
terially. 1t is a regrettable fact that
so many bulls just reaching maturity
have been sent &c the block because
people were afraid TO buy on account
of improper handing and training.
Charlevoix county herald., 1911-08-12

Ungovernable, ugly bulls are usual
ly the result of mismanagement, ex-
cept where the specially treacherous
or vicious disposition Is inherited.
As a rule the bull hands back to a
man on the points of his horns the
exact treatment accorded him at the
points of the pitchfork prongs. The
club has no place whatever in the
handling of a bull and the same is
also true of boisterous conduct Of any
kind on the part of the attendant.
Quietness and gentle but firm treat
ment are essential to the proper
training of the bull. Never under
take to make the animal do anything
without accomplishing the same. II
there should be any question about
the result do not undertake 1t. The
man who is afraid Of bull should
not attempt to manage him, as the
bull will detect the first evidences Of
fear and begin to take advantage at
once, finally becoming ungovernable.
