proved a most satisfactory nlah.
It was really a short institute course
for the farmers. When a farmer
brought up his horse,' cow or hog to
be judged, the good poirits and de-
fects of the animal were pointed tut.
If his animal won the blue; ribbon he
was told why, iand if ; it : didiot, he
was told whf his neighbors animal
was better than- his. In the field
crops department the 'farmer was
told what qualities should constitute
a good exhibit of corn, potatoes,
.wheat, etc., and then he was told Why
this entry of corn was better than an
other. The many questions asked the'
judges was evidence that the people"
were there to ;get some real benefit
Jrom the judging. The event that at
tracted most attention in the live
stock department ' was v the : saddle
horse contest in jyhich 'there were
twelve entries. After the - judging,
athletic contests were" held and at
four o'clock the fair closed. " -
