A little incident oecured ut a fair in Rutland County, 
Vt., that seems almost too good to be lost, and show; 
the necessity of appointing judges that know whereof 
they judge. The facts are these A gardener of 
some notoriety curried several articles to the fair 
and among them beautiful specimens of the Egg 
Plant. The Judges inspected the articles and very 
wisely awarded the gardener the first premium on a 
new variety of turnips, supposing they knew all 
about the Vegetable Kingdom. Our fairs ought to be 
s<i managed that Ignorant blunders uf this kind ean 
bo avoided. a. h. c. 
Rutland, Vt. 
The above paragraph, clipped from the 
Rural of 18711, is a specimen of the vexatious 
blunder,; which occasionally occur at our 
Fairs, i know of one instance where a man 
entered a colt, but neglected to exhibit him: 
nevertheless, lie received the first premium for 
the best colt. At our County Fair a man was 
awarded the first premium for the best “six 
specimens of the Newtown Pippin”, which, 
upon ti ting, proved to be under-sized and 
poorly colored Pound Sweets. Such blund¬ 
ers, though rare, are very annoying, as they 
give growlers a pretext for fault-finding. 
It is often difficult to find good judges at 
fairs, as the most competent persons gener¬ 
ally desire to compete for the premiums, the 
doing of which, of course, renders them in¬ 
eligible to act as judges. Nearly every intel- 
legent fruit grower, cattle breeder, etc., de¬ 
sires to make an exhibit, so that the most 
competent are effectually ruled out, and the 
duty devolves upon others less competent 
The wonder is, not that so many mistakes aro 
made, but rather that blunders occur nooften- 
or. Another difficulty is, that many persons, 
when appointed as judges, fail to appear and 
thus compel the officers to fill their places at 
so late an hour that the question of fitness can¬ 
not well l ie considered. 
If a man is requested to act as a judge, he 
should forego the pleasure of competing for 
the premiums (entering his product as an ex¬ 
hibit only), and thus act for the public good. 
Those appointed should act, if possible, and 
if impossible, they should notify the Secre¬ 
tary in time to allow him ample oppor¬ 
tunity to properly 1 fill their places. 
If those who do nothing at our fairs but 
find fault with what others do, would take 
hold themselves, everything would probably 
bo satisfactory. Nelson Ritter. '

arc fair-minded; to such we refer the scale question- 
For many years a great monopoly owned the patent 
and amassed millions of dollars. When the patent 
expired the Invention became public property, and 
one has a legal and moral right to make Fairbanks’ 
Scales. There are some dozen com panics making 
"genuine" Fairbanks' Seales, genuine because they 
are the exact scale invented and patented by Fair- 
bank. The value of a scale should be determined, not 
by the name of the maker or tile price, but by Its ac¬ 
curacy aud durability, resulting from Lie use of good 
material by the skillful mechanic. While this famous 
patent xlsted the price of a Five- Ton. Wagon Scale 
was $&Y', now a$ good a scale is made and sold, at a 
living profit, for &Q0, by Jbpos of Binghamton, IJing 
ham ton, N. Y.j and loin’s be pays the freight. This is 
fair competition and should be met in an honorable 
manner, but instead resort Is hud to every species Of 
misrepresentation, outright falsehood. contemptible 
meanness, bribery and conspiracy atld we hold t he 
head of the Fairbunk Co., ex G jv. of Vermont, the 
high-toned Christian Gentleman, noted for hie liberal¬ 
ity to Church and Sunday ISchool, responsible for the 
rascality of his employees, for he pockets the Ill-got¬ 
ten gains. We appeal to any one who has ever had 
any conversation with a Fairbanks'Scale Agent, re¬ 
lating to the Jones Scale, to substantiate our state¬ 
ment. They have succeeded in deceiving many into 
paying double price, and no doubt have lied us out of 
many thousand dollars,but \vuhave prospered simply 
because We have kept faith with our patrons, sold 
them a good scale at a fair price, and done just ns wo 
agreed every time. The smooth-tongued liar will tell 
you the Jones’ Scale "ain't good for nothin'," but, that 
won’t Induce any fair-minded person to reject the 
testimony Of many thousands who have used tho 
Jones’ Scale—somo for neatly twenty years. Jones 
asks no money til! the buyer has had an opportunity' to 
t ry his scale and see that It is as represented. Every 
Jones' Seale is warranted for five years, and no man 
eau say that Jones ever failed to make his warrant 
good. Remember Jones pays the freight and takes al 1 
risk of loss or breakage on the way. An attempt, is 
often made, to deceive by the claim that a scale Is the 
U. S. Standard, meaning to convey the Impression 
that tho government has something to do with it, 
which Is uot tho fact. Any sonic, by whomever made, 
that is correct according to the weights adopted by 
the government, lajrs as much a U. S. Standard as 
any other. Every one who lias any interest iu Scales 
should address JONES OF BINGHAMTON, Bingham¬ 
ton, N. Y., for free Book on Scales, which gives prices 
of all sizes of Scales aud other valuable Information.
