VOL. LVH. INDIANAPOLIS, IND., AUG. 16, 1902. NO. 33 TELL WHY THE FARMER AND HIS FAMILY SHOULD ATTEND THE STATE FAIR.. The Farmer Should Keep Abreast of the Times. 1st Premium.- The week of the State fair should be a time looked forward to by the farmer and his family with as mnch pleasure ami enthusiasm as the 4th of July celebration is anticipated by the young American. And it would be if more farmers had tested the benefits ami knew the advantages to his calling to be derived from even one day at the fair. In this remarkable age of advancement whin the standard along every line is being raised, one must be up and looking around lest he find himself at the rear of the procession. It is not stating it too strongly to say +he best and most progressive farmers are those who are frequently seen at the State fair taking mental notes and observations at Ihis congress of agricultural products and live stock—the best of the state. Here he sees the best breeds of hogs, cattle, sheep and hores, aud he is sure to find men who have had experience with each kind and who will gladly dicuss the merits and demerits disclosed by their experience. He sees and learns of new varieties of gram, hay, stock-feed, etc., and for a single bit of information or suggestion he may feel repaid for coming. He sees some new varieites of vegetables which he had never I bought of • raising before, or some breed of poultry, which he may with profit introduce into his community. The agricultural implements afford a good opportunity to see what the latest and best improvements offer toward farm labor, for to work well one must have good tools; they are cheaper in the end, and w th many of these labor saving machines one may do much of the work aione, or with less hired help, which is a big item when help is scarce. The different styles of fences and gates are worth noting. As for Mrs. Farmer, she stows away new ideas as fast as if she were counting eggs on market day, and the results of her visit to the fair will be appreciated all year in delicious pickles, canned fruit and pastry, and in fancy work to brighten and give comfort to the home, new quilt patterns, home made rugs, and other articles too numerous to mention. Many a he-art is gladdened at Christmas by her gifts patterned after things she saw at the fair. She even notes the styles so carefully that Ilu* effect is seen in the winter wardrobe of the family. She knows what kind of a washing machine and a churn sin* will choose next lime, and has Independent opinions of the live slock. Sin* Ceels repaid for her visil for each of one hundred and one things. Like sponges, the children absorb hints and gugegstions and practical lesson that older people would not imagine. The Hue teaching by object lessons is theirs for this brief while. As in the circus, there is* an education ill he fair, and the children have a topic* of in- terest for all winter. The atlas and geography must be consulted to locate the counties and towns they have heard of. They are delighted because they have actually been to the capital and have seen the state house, which every child in Ihe still,- should do. Be sure that nothing is lost in taking the children to the slate fair. Their ideas of farm life arc inn-cased and broadened beyond measure. Take the family to the fair. Let them come home spurred to new interest and enthusiasm. The short vacation after the summer's work is a treat ami one that is deserved every year. After the re turn home the burden of life will be taken up more easily and all will work together with more unity of purpose. It may prove the best possible thing to get Johnny to slay on the farm, for where his interest is in that direction will his energies be bent. He will see what can be accomplished by doing the* best with the best for the best. He will feel that what others ean do he can do. Tin* neighbors will think there must be something in the fair, when a farmer persistently attends and feels repaid for the outlay in tin.e and money. He is a more influential factor in* the community when, as a result of his investigations at the fair, his advice is improved, his grain is better and many new ideas are found to be practical. His produce is sought after, his advice consulted. He is upholding the agricultural standard and helping to make (arming one of the noblest of vocations. His interest in everything that advances fanning attests his progress as a farmer. The more interest he takes in the work the more educated he becomes in that line, and the more he knows of his subject the more pleasure and profit will he reap. LaTorte Co. B. J W. The Fair Cives New Inspirations. 2d Premium.—To a large extent fairs are for the farmer and by the farmer. One of the first reasons for the farmer and his family attending the State fair is the fact that he and his family have worked hard all summer and perhaps have gone little for several months, A recreation is necessary, and in no better May cau it be had than by attending the fair. It takes him away from the monotonous things in his every day life. As he travels to the state capital he sees other farms and other methods of farming and is able to compare his crops with those of his neighbors. He sees other homes and landscapes new to him. The trip alone does him an immense amount of good, and then if ihe children are permitted to go for the first time it will be something delightful and to be remembered for a long time to come. When the slate capital is reached there are many sights to see, and among them might well lie mentioned the office of the Indiana Farmer. But the object of he journey is the fair. When once on the grounds the valuable lessons begin, and to get the most out of the visit it ought lo lie done in a systematic way. I think it best to examine the live stock ill the morning, whilei I is cool and the pens are not crowded, and if We have time later in the day we can see the ribbons tied. One class should be studied at a time, with the idea if getting some benefit to lake* away with u*-. If we are in the live stock business then we will want lo find out Ihe best breeds for our purpose. Here we see living pictures—animals thai are made as nearly perfect as possible. It is simply charming to me to look over a lot of such live slock a*; we see at our fairs. 1 loiw the pens feeling proud of our state's resources in these lines, and with a determination lo do better myself. A lunch at noon is refreshing, and ill the heat o' die clay it is pl>asing to take a walk thio'gh the Boral halls and examine Ihe magnificent fruit and the samples of corn and wheat and oats and potatoes and all ihe other products of the farm. It ought to give the farmer a higher ideal to see what has been accomplished during the past sea son. If others can do this why ^cannot he? There an* many valuable lessons to learn ill the machinery halls. Here can be compared the' different makes of farm I.*..Is in a.satisfactory way. There are many other attractions that I* cannot mention but I consider a trip to the Slate* 'air well worth all Ihe time and money spent, giving us a needed vacation and a new inspiration for our work. J. Ii. R. Minglewood Farm. Affords Recreation and Profit. :;*1 Premium.—The fair whether of the State or county, is. as it well should be. an institution of much interest to the "armor and his family. It awakens au interest that nothing else can stir and is a sotfee of pleasure in many ways. It is the duty of every person to gain all possible knowledge concerning his occupation, and the object lesson is the easiest method of learning. The manufacturer visits other factories and studies all the new machinery that may help him in his labors; the merchant consults other business men and studios their methods of business; teachers assemble at summer schools to learn from each other: artists meet and compare their work; and so on through all the trades and arts. And so should the farmers, the supporters of humanity, get themselves together, compare their products, learn the possibilities of all parts of the state under the different departments of labor, compete with one another for the highest honors of their calling, forget for a few days the drudgery of everyday life, and go home refreshed, enlightened, enthusiastic, and ready to take up the burdens of another year. Perhaps the State fair is the best place for the farmer to learn and clo all thi*:. and to the woman and children of the family it is even a greater event than to the men, for theirs is a more secluded and monotonous life and they have a greatel need for recreation. The woman takes as much interest in the farm affairs as does the man. for farming is her life as well as his, and the fair, with all ts departments, is a source of education, pleasure and interest to every member of the farmer's family. It is the farmer's duty not only to attend the fair and take his family, but also to contribute what he * an to the exhibits. Bach article swells the display and thus increases the attraction, as well as causes the contributor to take a more personal interest in the fair. In summing up the reasons why the farmer and his family should attend the fair let it be said that it conies at a season of the year when the farmer is over with his busy work and has time for recreation, and. what is more, he needs recreation ijf- ter his hard labors, as does his family. It is a state institution, principally for the up building of agriculture and to benefit the farmer. Here the farmer sees the products of other farms and compares them wilh his own. He wonders if he cannot take a blue ribbon on gome vegetable or tine specimen of Btock next year. He sees how blood will tell in all farm animals and decides lo improve his own stock in the future. He meets other farmers and discusses with them new methods of (arming, lie sees farm machinery that perhaps he had not thought of using before lie sees and hears many amusing things which he can laugh over with the children through the clays to come. Altogether the agricultural fair is the farmer's institute objectively presented. B. .1. M. Virginia. c'.ate of publication.
