State and County Fairs.

At the annual Fairs are exhibited the results of the labor and experiences of the year, by the farmer and artisan. Here are found palpable facts and results, evolved of the theories, methods and fancies most in vogue, and out of these facts Jhe observant and thoughtful gather, practical truths to incoiTorate into plans and meth-

ods for the future. It is a duty that all owe to themselves, no-less than to the good of society, to attend the state and county Fairs, there to avail themselves of th© good, solid information which experience imparts. If men are industrious and yet do not succeed, the cause may invariably be traced to lack of information about their affairs.. The Fair is the great book of the accumulated experiences of qur most successful men. All th© theories and methods have been tested by them, and here they exhibit the result. It may be said in ti'uth that the time consumed! and money invested in visiting the Fairs pays a larger per cent, in the end than any other expenditure of the year. We carefully gather and garner the fruits of hands, and point to them with pride as the results of well-directed, intelligent effort. Let us not neglect the oportunities offered to gather and store away the information which must precede all successful physical eSort. Not only attend the Fairs, but gather there the fruits of your best labor and efforts at success.— lndiana Farmer.
