THURSDAY DECEMBER II. 1913 The next Horse Fair is announc-! ed for Thursday of next Week the 18th of December It differs from; all previous fairs by having :1 Produce Fair in connection. The! produce is to consist of dressed' fowl. butter. eggs. potatoes. and. we presume. other farm products.‘ Mayor Black tells us there will be present a number of buyers from the city. and this new departure should be a great boon to the farming community who have any products to dispose of at the highest price. Fowl to bring top prices must be picked dry and put up in as neat and presentable a! form as possible. It must he! remembered also. that city buyersl take quality into consideration.1 and grade their prices on all pro-‘ ducts offered for sale.

No Woman wishes to get the reputation for making only second or third class butter, and the system of grading will be an incentive to all butter makers to produce the very best article possible. The same may; be said of eggs, in which quality1 depends to some extent on the kind of feed the hens' get, and also in promptness in marketing the product. Strictly fresh eggs al-‘ ways command a better price in? the open market where an at- tempt is made at grading them, and the sooner they pass from the. producer to the consumer the more valuable they are.
