AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE
STATE FAIR.
Tho following fr >m tho Macon
Telegraph is, ns wo see it, exactly
.correct:
It is nil right enough for Geor¬
gia to have an exibit at the Si.
Louis exposition, but Georgia’s
first duty is to her own Stale
Fair. II there are any appropri¬
ations t<» be ninth) by the legisla¬
ture, lot Georgia’s own fair be
provided for first. Fifty thousand
invested by the state in the State
Fair will be worth more to Geor¬
gia than $ 100,000 invested in blu¬
est. Louis fair.
The legislature of Tennessee is
now considering a bill to appro¬
priate money out of the state
treasury for the purpose of put¬
ting a state fair on a firm finan¬
cial basis. We can see n ) reason
why this may not bo done in
Georgia, not for this year alone,
but for every year. The
Fair ought to have a fixed habita¬
tion, and an annual appropriation
lrotn the state. Why not? It
would be worm more to tho state
than alt of our agricultural col¬
leges and experiment stations.

Why Not Butter ami Egg ?
AtlmiUv Journal
lt ih a tuet that thousands of
dollars are sent north every yeai
for butter. Tho supply of home¬
made butter is far short of the de¬
mand; and wnile more is la-ini
produced in Georgia than former
iy, tile rapidly demand of is he increasing tin tin
more 1 too, and
deficiency is greater every year.
In a conversation with F J Mer
riant, the well known agricultural
writer, the proprietor of one ol
Atlanta’s largest g.oeery stores,
said.recently :
‘‘Why don't you people make
butter? Here wo are sending to
Illinois for tho bulk of our but¬
ter, am! paying 88 cents a pound
for it. Of 0 itirse. that is forth©
very choicest, hut good butter is
costing us from 21 to 28 cents per
pound. Now, why don’t you folks
make it? ) »
■ ‘\VulI,” replied Mr. Merrinnt,
‘‘we ought to. Thiit was all 1
could say,” he added in speaking
of the incident. “Now, why don’t
we? Simply because ve don’t try.
As a friend of mine said once,and
the laziest man, 1 think, 1 over
knew, 'It is so much easier not to
do anything. ’ have
Tho farmers of our state
opportunities profits, to make some in Imt very
large not only ter,
but in eggs niul poultry. There is
probably no article in. th <4 easily world
so easily produced and so
sold at a good profit as eggs;
w© find, farmers spending time
and 111 n -y on other things and
neglecting this important source
ot income. Eggs are steadily.ad¬
vancing in price. They were 15
to 20 cents a dozen, wholesale, all
last summer—tut unprecedented
price at that season of the year.
And during the winter, of course,
they lutve remuiued steadily at
ftu.ov figures.
Ot course, in order to succeed
with these products it is
ty to use cart* aril common sense.

Tiio Feminine Girl.
The Atlanta Journal congrafulates
society and the rest of mankind upon
the prospects of the. mas, uline git!
being superseded by that sweet char¬
acter, the feminine girl. It is duvoutl;
to bo hoped that such wdl be the ease
in the immediate future. If there is
anything' that is repugnant or disgust¬
ing it is the masculine girl who prnne-
08 uloug the street with the swagger
of a cowboy. On the other hand there
is nothing more inviting to the eye
than the modest, retiring, feminine
girl who lias a deep sense of propriety
under all circumstances and every
condition. The masculine girl displays
no regard for propriety and less of
true womanly refinement and her
passing will be hailed with delight
nil who recognize the attractions of a
true home, such as only the truly
feminine wife can make. With the

Sonic Thoughts About Georgia’s Ag¬
ricultural Wealth.
W’e are sat.sfied that Georgia’s ag¬
ricultural wealth is' just in the dawn
of its development, Not long ago
la our eliy a lacturs was delivered by
Dr. Con well, of Philadelphia, who
took for his subject ’’An Acre of Dia¬
monds.” Pie besan with a story told
hlra by a Porslan camel driver during
ono of his Journeys in the Orient.
There was a man, so the story went,
who became very much discontented
with his farm, so he sold cut and
went Into a distant country to search
for diamonds, Now the purchaser
0 f farm was a very observant
man and one day noticed In a certain
acre of his land a black substance
which" contained under their unpre-
possessing exterior something which
sparkled in the light with great lus-
tre. Taking ono of the pieces to an
expert he was informed that he was
the possessor of an exceedingly rich
Add of diamonds. This, said the
guide, was the beginning of the fa¬
mous fields of Goleonda. The Observ¬
ant man thus became immensely
wealthy, white the one who sold out
and went abroad in search of fortune,
perished miserably at last In a for¬
eign lend.
One need not go far to seek the
moral of this story; for often at our
own homes we have the means of
wealth. If we are diligent and observ¬
ant; not neglecting the opportunities
et our very door.
The Agricultural College.
Speaking of Georgia’s agricultural
development reminds us of the State’s
Agricultural College. The legislature
having decided that it shall remain a
1 wh,Ie longer, at least, In Its present
bmation, let all Georgians resolve to
assist its able president and profess-
ors their effort to make it a power
, tor good to the farmers. Many ot
the best bulletins on various agri-
cnItural s, 1 ' b l ecte that to this
department are from the Agricultural
Colleges connected with the Univer-
flticc of our sister states. If we can

practical experience, adds to thts a
thorough knowledge of agricultural

require for healthy and profitable

which they have acquired. Every sci¬
