WHOSE FAIR IS IT?

And | am talking to you, Mr. Farm
er, Mr.. Merchant. Mr. Mechanic, Mr..
Laborer, and with all confidence in
your reasoning and ability to under
stand
There are only two reasons why you
would attend fair, a picnic, or any
other big gathering. One is for in
formation and instruction, the other
is for amusement
How we'll you enjoy yourself de-
Ponds upon your inclination and de-
sire to enter enthusiastically and
whole heartedly into the spirit of the
occasion. Cut loose the strings of
conventionality that keep you hide
bound and distanced from your neigh
bors and friends, and let your happy
spirit mix and mingle with the spirit
of those around you.
Everything won't be just to your
liking but why crab" the day; just
remember that whoever is responsible
for that particular thing has labored
hard and earnestly to make it as good
as it is.
This leads me to ask again, Whose
Fair is it? You have just as much
at stake as anyone else; It is for your
entertainment, your pleasure and your
instruction that the Fair IS held each
year-don't blame the other fellow
for your disposition-it's your Far,
to make it or mar it.

According to statistics morta ity
among pigs is entirely too high, says
Field and Ranch. Doubtless more
pigs could be raised by closer atten-
tion to their needs.
July and August are rather trying
months on hogs. The excessive heat
of the late summer is apt to inter
fere with the growth and deyelope-
ment of pigs unless special prepare
lions are made to keep the animals
cool and supplied with succulent food
as well as grain and other concentrat-
es. This the feeder must do if he
would give his pigs fair chance.
Heavy feeding is not necessary dur
ing the summer months, that is,
heavy grain feeding, but the pigs
should have pasture and enough con-
centrates to permit growth and hard
mess till the time for finishing them
arrives.
During the heat of the day the pigs
will not bestir themselves to forage,
but it is highly desirable, that cool,
shady, moist places be provided for
them. But this is not enough, they
must have plenty of feed when the
cool of the day arrives in order that
they may grow and put on sufficient
flesh for thrifty animals.
Not much corn will be required
In fact, none need be fed if there are
other grains. Some grain will be
needed, and if there is SKINNED milk
and Stops so much the better.
Pasture is necessary. When the
permanent pasture begins to fail
there should be crops to pasture.
Selling crops, too, are desirable when
pastures must be supplemented with
green crops.
1t is not too late to plant late
crops for soiling or for pasture. II
you have sufficient moisture it will
pay you to plant now, in case you
haven't planted earlier. 1t will be
advisable to keep the pigs in a grow
ing condition during the summer.

The Wisconsin Live Stock Breed
ers' Association tells of farmer who
had been breeding his mares for
some years to grade stallion. Final
ly he decided to try a pure-bred. The
next year he had an auction sale. At
this sale the yearlings by the grade
sire sold for an average of s37 each /;
the two-year-olds for s55; the three
year-olds for SIC. Weanling colts
from the same mares by the pure
bred stallion averaged S101 each.
Yet some farmers still doubt If it
really pays to go to a little trouble to
breed to pure-bred sires,

with preponderance of draft blood.
The light mares may produce, often
do produce, the most stylish and the
"typiest" mules, but they most GER
tainly do not produce the mules best
suited to the needs OF the modern
farmer-the mules that can handle
heavy farm machinery to best advan-
tage and enable the farmer to get
the greatest results from his own
labor.
Just the. other day I was on a
farm in an adjoining county. big
farm of rich land, and could not help
contrasting the little leggy mules
used on the farm with the productive
capacity of the land and the up-to-
date efficiency of the tools l saw in
use. Many Middle Tennessee farm
ers need an ertra 200 to 500 pounds
of bone and muscle on their work
stock just about as badly as they
need anything else.
There is no use arguing about the
matter any longer or trying any long
er to dodge it. The farmers of the
South have got to use heavier work
stock, have got to get more draft
blood in both their horses and mules
before they can make their own lab
or count for what it is really worth.

definite and considerable profits v

were shown from the spraying in all
orchards except one, where apparent
ly the spraying had no effect. AS the
work was done under ordinary farm
conditions the results are particular
ly interesting.
1t was found that the total cost
of spraying was so cents a tree. This
figure covers an average of a little
over two sprayings, not very well
done at that. Yet this produced a
profit ranging from nothing at all e.
s1O.12 a tree. The average profit on
all orchards was $3.50 tree.
In other words, by an investment
of so cents early in the summer the
practical fruit grower was able to
reap a profit of $3.50 in the fall.
This income of something like soc
per cent on a six months investment
looks good even to the munitions
maker.
Those in charge of the experiments
think that the cost of spraying was
Iluch too high and could be reduced
by proper management. They think
further that the spraying was not
nearly so well done as it could be
after more experience had been gain
ed. Thus, with reduced cost Of
spraying and an increased efficiency
the profits will be even greater.

Lima beans lose their flavor very
quickly after being shelled; there
fore il is necessary to can them as
soon as possible after gathering. Dis
card all pods that have begun to
harden, and proceed as you would
with corn.
Pumpkin Or Winter Squash.
II provided with a warm, dry cell
ar. one may keep certain varieties OF
these vegetables all winter. Some OF
the best varieties, however, do not
keep well. and even the best keepers
when not properly housed begin TO
decay in December or January. 1t
is then necessary to can them in
order to save them. If one has a
limited number of jars, it is a good
plan to fill them all with other yege-
tables during the summer and upon
the approach of frost to gather the
pumpkins and bring them indoors.
BY the time the pumpkins begin To
spoil. enough jars will be emptied to
hold them. They can now be steam
ed and canned in the same way as
summer SQUASH. In this way sup
ply of Jars may be made to do double
service.
SuccOtash.
The writer has found that mix
ture of corn and lima beans, or sue
cotash, is one of the most difficult
things to keep. This furnishes one
of the very best mediums for bac-
terial growth; so extreme care must
be taken in the process of canning.
II is advisable to gather the corn and
beans early in the morning and pre-
pare and sterilize them in the manner
already described. AS with summer
SQUASH, it is best to boil for an hour
and a half, instead of for an hour.
Vegetable Roast.
A rather unusual dish for the win
ter may be made by canning a mix
ture of vegetables. Prepare corn,
lima beans, tomatoes. string beans,
okra, squash, and eggplant as you
would for canning separately. Mix
these in varying proportions. letting
the corn and lima beans predominato
Add two or three medium-sized on
ions to each quart of this mixture
and run all through food chopper
in order to mix thoroughly. Pack
into Jars and sterilize. In preparing
for the table mix with an equal vol
ume of bread crumbs, piece of
butter the size of a walnut, and one
egg; season to taste with pepper and
salt, and bake in a round baking dish
until brown. Cut into slices as you
would cake and serve hot with a
drawn butter sauce.
Corn, okra, and tomatoes, mixed
in equal proportions, may be canned
in this way as a soup stock.
Freshness of Flavor and Color.
Vegetables when canned properly
retain their attractive color and lose
very little of their favor. 1t will be
found almost impossible to detect any
difference either in taste or in ap-
pearance between the canned and the

Where the Pei2e Mules Come Fr0ri.

turist has been telling you for some
time-that the best mules are not

but from mares of draft type and

carefully followed The volatile oils
which give flavor to most vegetables
are not lost during this process of
sterilization. Cooking for three short
periods in a closed container at a
comparatively low temperature in
stead of cooking for one short period
at high temperature or for one long
period in an open vessel makes the
vital difference and insures freshness
OF flavor and color. After the jars
have been sterilized and tested. they
should be kept in the dark, as the
sunlight will soon destroy the color
of the vegetable.
How To Open a Jar.
Jars OF vegetables are sometimes
hard to open, unless it is done in just
the right way. Run knife blade
under the rubber, next to the jar,
and press against it firmly. This will
usually let in enough air to release
the pressure on the top. In case it
does not, place the Jar in a deep
saucepan of cold water, bring to a
boil. and keep it boiling for a few
minutes. The jar will then open
easily.
Cautions.
These directions for canning apply
only to pint and quart jars. If half
gallon Jars are used, always increase
the time of boiling, making it an hour
and half instead of one hour.
Do not go into canning too deeply
at first. Experiment with few Jars
in the early part of the season and
see if they keep well. 1t is not
difficult matter to can vegetables
properly. The writer has never lost
g can of string beans, okra, eggplant,
carrots, parsnips, lima beans beets,
asparagus, or pumpkin in several
years experience, and has had only
one can of peas spoil, few cans of
corn during the earlier trials, and
few cans of succotash. Any house
wife can do equally we'll. If you fol-
low the directions here given care
fully, you will have no difficulty what
ever. If you should happen to fail
in the first trial, rest assured that
you have done something wrong or
left something undone. No house

Snare the Corn Roots.

/ In a four-year experiment at the
| Virginia Experiment Station corn
cultivated three times made three
pecks more to the acre than corn cul-
tivated five times. Corn kept free
from weeds with the least possible
stirring of the soil made ten bushels
less to the acre than the corn culti-
waited three times. In a series of
experiments running over several
years and covering every part of the
country where corn is extensively
grown, the killing of the weeds with
out cultivation has given practically
the same results as through cultiva-
ton. Only in the South and the drier
parts of the West has cultivation Civ
en- better results than simple weed
killing.
Some farmers might conclude from
this that they can afford to leave
their corn fields uncultivated, or that
they can quit cultivating very early.
Either conclusion would be risky.
Small yields result whenever weeds
are allowed to grow. The largest
yields have come from fields Guilt
waited more than the usual number Of
times. Late cultivation of corn may
pay. 1t will pay only when the early
cultivation is very shallow.
1t is beyond question that many
farmers reduce their yields of corn
by the last one or two workings they
give it. The value of corn roots is
not yet appreciated. Any cultiya-
tion that destroys many roots is like
ly to do harm rather than good.
Kill the weeds in the corn field and
spare the roots of the corn.-South-
ern Agriculturist.
