Address all communications to E. ZELLER EDITOR, ZURIca, P.O FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4th, 1903 The New Idea in fairs. As the season for fall fairs draws near, the directors of Agricultural societies will be on the lookout for new and attractive features to be added to the programme of. events. A good many societies are making an earnest endeavor to improve their fairs by the introduction of educational features, and it will not be out of place to once more draw their attention to the exhibi- tion at Whitby, which the Domin- ion and Provincial Departments of Agriculture are striving to make a model for others to follow. The Whitby 2,,.Iode1 Fair will, of course, have the services of expert judges, who will explain the rea- sons for their decisions in the ring, and give addresses on the best types of horses, cattle, sheep and swine. In this way the judging is made an educational feature in- stead of being merely an allotment of premiums by men who are often incompetent or biased in their judgment. The awarding of prizes at a fair is a comparatively unim- portant matter as compared with other considerations. What is really desirable is that fairs should be the means of disseminating in- formation and of fixing correct ideas in the minds of those who are producing food -stuffs, and on them the prosperity of Canada depends The advantage of the expert judge system have become so apparent that this year over 150 fairs in On- tario alone are to be supplied with judges by the Provincial Depart- ment of Agriculture. Another feature of the. Whitby fair, which is worthy of adoption by all agricultural societies, but which only some half-dozen have yet taken up, is the series of illus- tration plots on the fair grounds.— Thsee plots are in excellent condi- tion at Whitby, and will form an interesting and instructive exhibit of the best varieties of grasses, clo- vers, millets, sorghums, corn, fod- der and pasture crops, turnips, man gels, and sugar beets. By studying the plots farmers will be able to learn just what crops and what var- ieties are best adapted to their farms; thus bringing hone to par- ticular conditions of soil and cli- mate the general conclusions ar- rived at by the Experimental farms The Whitby Fair Board will this year attempt to combine amuse- ment with instruction by holding a kymkana, or series of games on horseback. It is a lamentable fat that horseback riding is almost un- known in Canada and that the sad- dle is rarely seen on a Canadian farm. We raise hundreds 'of good :caddie 11;;rsc,, a^r which there is a great demand at high prices, but these horses are sold by the farmers practically unbroken, and the npid- dle-nian finishes them for the mark et and gets the cream of the }profit. This is why an attempt is being Invade to interest our people in the pleasures of the saddle. The events to bo put on at the gyxnkana, at Whitby, to demonstrate skill in the saddle as follows :—polo pony com- petition. walking race, obstacle race potato° race, bonnet and skirt race, ginger ale race, polo pony scurry,' nomination race, and high ,jumping competition. The gylnkana events will be interspersed with childrens' games and athletic competitions to keep the interest from fiagging.--- The managers are determined to have a good; clean fair, where all the boys and girls can go to spend a pleasant and instructive day with - but oohing in 'contact with any in - j urious influence. But it is not intended to allow the amusement feature to overshad OW an any way the educational part of the programme, Denlonstra- tions.of agricultural processes will be very much in evidence. A mod- el kitchen•and dining -room willbe shown in operation with exhibi- tions of cooking. Sinplo dishes and addresses on donlestio economy. Desirable and undesirable types of fowls will be shown, with lectures on the fatten- ing of chickens for the British markets, and exhibitions of killing, pluckilig and packing for export,— Praotieal demosntrations of the pro per packing of fruit for export will be given by expert packers, and every effort will be made to 'minis- ter to the wants of those who are looking for information that will prove of practical benefit. That the children may be instruct ed, as well as amused,- prizes will again he offered to the teacher and pupils of a public school section making the best exhibit of :—cut flowers grown in the school grounds ; grain in the straw ; wild flowers and leaves of - trees, press- ed and mounted; clovers and gras- ses ; roots and vegetables ; fruits ; weeds and weed seeds ; beneficial and injurious insects; enc. -native woods. This year prizes are also offered for the best. essays on the wile. flozvers, grains, grasses, weeds insects, and birds of the locality. This plan has proved effective in inducing children to begin the fas- cinating study of Nature, directed towards the elements of general agriculture, economic botany and entomology, etc. Every Fair board find it advantageous to put in some of these prizes for childrens' exhib- its, full particulars of which may be obtained from Mr. F. W. Hodson Live Stock Commissioner, Ottawa, who is devoting a good deal of ener- gy to the improvement of Canadian fairs. GOSHEN LINE Special to THE HERALD.
