The tendency in this country is for larger numbers of those living in cit ies to own land. In Europe notably in Ireland, the land is being largely put into the hands of those who work it; this is a matter of necessity. With the population increasing and the ne- cessity becoming greater yearly for greater production per acre, it is in- deed doubtful if any man has a moral right to own land who does not live on it and manage it for the largest crop production and the upbuilding of the fertility.-Progressive Farmer

ADVICE 10 COUNTY
 FAIR EXHIBIT 0RS
TAkEPAINS WITHENTRIES
FARM PAPER GIVES VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS TO NEW
 EXHIBITORS.

So you are going to have an exhibit at your fair? That is good. It is 2 sigh of progress and ambition when g farmer has the skill to produce some
 thing on his farm which is so much above average quality that he thinks it is worth while for him to take il
 out for other farmers to look at. The
 man who has a calf or colt or pig or bushel of corn or bale of hay good enough to go to the fair, has ac- complished at least one thing of which he is proud, and such accomplishment
 you know, is one of the durable satis- factions" of life.
 Right here, however, is where you may make a big mistake. That calf or that bushel of potatoes may appear ESQ good to you that you will feel it scarcely worth while to take any spe- cial pains to fit them for exhibition. Such conclusion is all wrong. You owe it to yourself and to the public to put your exhibits on the fair ground in the best possible condition. The calf must be well feshed-he need not be extra fat; his coat must be as sleek as a seal" without a speck of dust or the slightest stain to mar it; his horns must be rubbed smooth and shiny; he must be taught to lead and to face strangers without fear. He will not pass for his real worth if he is dirty or if he goes pull ing and straddling away every time a visitor approaches.
 The potatoes, too, must be clean, as nearly uniform in size and shape as you can get them and well arranged in neat vessel or an attractive heap.
 So with every other product If it is worth showing at all, it is worth taking little trouble with.
 And then when you have done your best, you may miss the prize. Never forget that. The calf, instead of talk ing the blue ribbon, as you had count ed on, may be classed fourth or fifth. There's the rub-the test of the good exhibitor. If such a thing happens, don't get mad" and abuse the fair or the judges, or charge that you did not get fair treatment. Instead, try to find out why you didn't win. The judges should be able to tell you. In fact, we think no ribbon should be tied, no prize awarded at fair, with out full explanation from the judges as to why such award was made. We know that sometimes the judging is done almost in secret, and that the ex- hibitor may not know when his entry is being passed on. This is all wrong; but the time to remind your fair off, cials of the fact is before the fair, not after the awards are made.-Progres- sive Farmer
