A FEMALE FAIR

In these days of female suffrage
and lady congressman, it ought not to
be surprising to find the field of fairs
invaded by the fair. That when the
ladiessdo undertake a business propo-
sition they do it Well has been proved
by Mrs. A. Tweedy. secretary of the
Marion County Fair, held at Ocala.
Fla, who is the sole manager not
withstanding a very ornamental presi-
dent and board of directors.
Marion county is ranked among the
best agricultural counties in Florida,
and the exhibits at the fair fully sus-
tanned its reputation, especially in
food products.
All county fairs are more or less
alike, but each one has some particu-
lar feature all its own, and the one
which struck me was a line of pens,
each one containing a Hampshire sow
and litter of pigs, seemingly of the
same age. I made inquiry as to the
why of it and was referred to Mr.. R.
W Blaklock. county demonstration
agent, who gave me the following his
tory: The three banks Of Ocala, last
summer, contributed a fund of $1,000
with which to purchase registered
gifts for the members Of the Boys Pig
Club A club of % boys was organized
and then came up the question as TO
the breed of hogs to be selected, for
Mr. Blackjack insisted that there
should be but one breed, so that the
product of the club should be shipped
sOlidly, thus commanding the highest
prices at the packing houses. The
Hampshire was selected and bought at
a cost Of $40 apiece and on the first
of September each boy was given
pig.
Out of the twenty-three, nineteen
showed up with litters, the filters av-
eraging seven and half pigs, and
pretty sight the 142 pigs made.
There was a Boys Corn Club of 50
members, and the first prize was won
by Lawton Martin, eleven years old.
who made 115 bushels on an acre of,
muck land, at a cost of 10 cents per
bushel
The boil weevil scare does not seem
to have affected the farmers of this
section, but the high price of cotton
has. Loaded on a wagon in the fair
grounds, were four bales Of Sea Island
and one of upland cotton, on which
was a placard: This load, with the
seed, sold for S1,010.40."
Through the efforts Of z. C. Cham
bliss & Co and Mr. S. H Gaitskill,
Marion county was placed in the lead
in improved live stock, and as con
sequence her farmers are in good
shape. The cattle are turned into
fields of corn and velvet beans with
hogs following, and both are fattened
at comparatively small cost. We no
ticed very good show of horse and
mule colts at the fair.
The colored people made a fine ex-
hibit in both school and agricultural
lines, showing that they also have
caught the spirit Of Improvement
There are some fair associations we
are acquainted with that would do
we'll to follow Marion countys ex-
ample and place the management in
the hands Of lady.-Southern Rur-
aIist.
