and amusement and becomes a COM
mon forum for the discussion of all
matters having to do with agriculture,
industry the home and the school.
In this clearing house of education
the farmer learns what the manufac-
turer, the merchant and the banker are
and have been doing to make his la
Dor less arduous and his farm more
profitable and the town resident learns
what rapid progress is being made in
agriculture. A bond Of common inter
est is created which means much to
both town and country.
Value to Everybody.
The farmer learns by actual obser-
Walton of the newest devices and i'm
provemcnts in agricultural imple-
mentS. He learns their use and bene-
fits. He learns in what way they
assist in soil cultivation, in plant
growth, in sowing, in harvesting, in
threShing He learns the economic
value of the more modern machinery,
of the Silo of motor power on the
farm.
The urban dweler is furnished
vivid picture of the agricultural re-
sources of the community. He learns
about the fertility of the soil in the
vicinity; of what is being done to in
crease the farm yield; to improve the
quality of the stock, and TO multiply
the total dairy product.
Every man and woman, whether
town or country resident, is brought
into closer touch with the home life
of others. All imbibe that broader
education which means cooperation
that ideal education which is service
to self and all humanity.

THE FAIR
BY Douglas MaIIoch.

We w subeTncan store from out of deep and dark
Nor with the boodd hand of make harvest of nations

Ours the wealth of Gods good SOIL and his earth we leave
mark
But burrows of the farmers toll the business Of thousand
years.
Here assemble what grew here have gathered Of the yield
The products of the work ones who ask
These the children of the seed the fertile field
world of weary ones to eed-a noble duty honest task.
Even joy of labor done have hour for deeper thought
To the glory of the smiling fruit and golden grain;
Zen in the froc of the fair realize how God has wrought
Till herds increase and blossoms BEAR fed by his sunshine and
his

All mindful of our work again another yet to be-
Let forth rejoicing then to pass merry week away
Proud of the treasures that with mement and industry
Taking of earth both fruit and flowers taking of life both

Country Folk.
AN EXCHANGE FOR new IDEAS
Besides, It Appeals to All Of Us Who
Want to Be Amused While We're
Learnine-CIoser Touch With
Home Lives of Neighbors.

The fair is an educational clearing
house. 1t is an agricultural and in
dustrial institute for residents of both
town and country. 1t IS short course
In better farming and better living. 1t
is n physical demonstration of why the
man who farms with his head instead
of with his hands must inevitably sue
coed.
1t Is a comprehensive exhibition Of
what the ambitious boy or girl may
achieves in agriculture, livestock rails
ing, dairying, horticultural, home, gar
dening, domestic science or household
economy. 1t is an exposition of the
marvellous improvement in farm ma
chinery and agricultural implements.
1t is an object lesson in the great
part which improved machinery plays
in the development and cultivation Of
the farm and the increased prosperity
of the farmer.
Look for Yourself.
The chief educational value Of our
fair lies in the fact that it is demon
strative in character. The eye is
more convincing instructor than the
ear. We are slow to accept and be-
lleve in any new method until we have
had optical proof Of its superiority
over the old.
Often it is difficult to secure the at
tention of the busy man or woman long
enough to give such a demonstration.
Not infreQuently it happens that farm
ers who would be most benefited by
better methods of farming are not suf
ficiently interested to be present at
any special meeting called for the pur-
pose of discussing the subject.
But the fair appeals to that trait of
mankind which demands entertainment
