HOW HEALTH IS CULTIVATED
In the cultivation of health, we
must not forget:—
1. To eat slowly and to chew our
food thoroughly.
2. Keeping the skin in good
clean condition is of great impor
tance. In the summer, every one,

no matter what his occupation is,
hould take a daily bath. Use little
oap in bathing the body, change
'underclothes daily, if possible, and
'sleep in nightshirt or pajamas. If

sweat and by the pores of the skin

Shower laths. —Any farmer who
does not have waterworks in his
home, can by the outlay of a few
’dollars, fix up a little house in
the yard with a barrel on top that
can be pumped full of water and
,used as a shower bath for the whole
I amily. Bathing is not only good for
one’s health, but makes one accept

AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITS.
Prises for agricultural exhibits
are offered by fair associations for
taro purposes. First, exhibits serve
a decorative purpos a which gives
an agricultural atmosphere to the
fair, and second, they are educa
tional.
It should not be forgotten that
an exhibitor ia aa much a showman
as the men on th 8 midway. His
first object is to attract and inter
est the crowds passing in front of
hia booth. Unless peopl e will look
at his exhibit his booth is a failure.
Also the first impression made on
the judg e is often a lasting one.
It is always a safe plan to put
your first foot forward in arrang
ing and decorating an exhibit For
this reason the decoration of the
front of the booth should receive
special attention, and any specially
attractive exhibits be arranged so
that they can be easily seen from
the front.
The arrangement and decoration
of an agricultural exhibit is an art
in itself which requires considerable
artistic ability and experience. Much
can be learned by examining prize
winning booths and talking to old
exhibitors. Don’t, however, slavishly
follow. Remember that originality
pays. At every fair which I have
attended in Georgia I have been
stuck by tKe fact that the booths
are nearly always decorated with
corn, wheat, sorghums, etc., in much
the same way as booths from Ohio
or Indiana. It doe? not seem to
have occurred to anyone that cot
ton is fine material for decorative
purposes and is especially appro
priated for a Georgia exhibit. Pep
per, peanuts, sugar cane, velvet
beans and pecans l are all widely
grown Georgia crops which are
little used for decorating.
The educational side of an ex
hibit is usually ample. While the
number and variety of specimens
in a good exhibit is usually ample,
they are often so poorly labeled
and arranged that they mean very
littl. Each sample should have a
card attached giving the name of
the specimen and any other infor
mation which would be of special
interest. For example, suppose you
have two varieties of corn to ex
hibit, one a good variety and the
other a poor one. Two equal piles
of these varieties would make a
very poor exhibit, but a large pile
of the good variety and small pile
of the poor corn together with
a label giving their names and the
yield of each variety would make
a very good exhibit. Again, piles
of different seed cotton are not very
interesting but it you comb out a
few eeeds showing the length of
staple of each variety and mount on
a piece of cardboard to place in
each pile the exhibit becomes at-

Good specimens are often spoiled
by poor arrangement. Grains, Grass
es, etc . are best shown in a full
length bundle not less than four
inches in diameter at the base. The
heads should be even and the bundle
a '
tied with a suitable piece of tape
or ribbon. Shelled grains are best
shown in peck lots and corn and
grain sorghums in ten ear lots. It
is needless to say that all samples
should be of good quality, free
from mixtures and diseases, and
typical of the variety.
