The State Fair.

Before this number of the Pioneer goes
to'press. we expect the pleasure Of meet

erything now indicates that the Fourth
Annual Fair vii! exceed in interest any of
Its predecessors; and Notwithstanding the
crowding, gouging. and shaving to which
visitors are exposed, we have no fears that
the usual attendance will be at all dimin-

upon these exhibitions are enormous, but
their effects are highly useful, in awaken.

Stock and Dairy Husbandry.

Stock Husbandry, properly conducted,
is now most profitable. The present pri-
ces of Live Stock,-(especially improved
horses, cattle, Sheep, Swine, and fowls, J
--and wool, beef, pork, butter, cheese, &c.
render breeding, grazing, dairying, etc,
highly remunerating in almost every Sec
ton of the Union. And the prospect is
that the business will continue permanent
ly lucrative, though present rates should
not be fully maintained. The consump-
ton of animal food has of late greatly in
creased, and IS very properly attracting
attention to the science and profit of sup
plying the enhanced and increasing de-
mand. Yet we do not apprehend that
the business will be overdone, at least moi
for some years. The demand and con-
sumption are not confined to any one of a
few localities, and the benefits of supply.
ing the same will be participated in by
stock and dairy farmers throughout the
whole country. Our railroads and Other
facilities are now such that live stock
meats, and the products OF the dairy, car
be easily and cheaply transported to ths
great markets from almost every section
OF our widely extended country-render
ing it certain that prices cannct. long re
main very high at one point and low at an
other. Hence, farmers remote from tn,

ing are cheap, can compete successfully

Cooking Fish.

Some one gives the following very reas-
enable directions for cooking fish. To a
part of them we can subscribe from hav-
ing had experience thereto relating. The
particular varieties of fish may not be COM
mon, but the classes to which they belong,
include all eatable fish among us. Fish
must be put into cold or boiling water, ac-
cording to its frmness of flesh for in
stance, turbot, salmon, mackerel, &C.,
should be putinto cold water while place,
Writings, haddocks, and such soft fleshed
as well as crimped fish, should be put into
boiling water. The reason is obvious !;
by pu. ting faccid and watery fish into the
water cold, it is rendered still more soft
and watery; but the boiling water sets it
and renders it frmer; on the other hand
the cold water penetrates and softens the
fish that is of frmer texture, and makes
it more tender and delicate. Keep the
water skinned while the fish is boiling.
Fish is cooked enough when it leaves
the bone easily. Be sure to wash and clean
your fish well.
In frying fish, having washed it, dry
it thoroughly in clean cloth, then -four
it well, or whisk it over with egg, and dip
into bread-crumbs before frying it. Be
sure your pan is very clean, and that your
fat of which there should be enough to
cover the fish, boils before you put the
fish in. Fry quickly of a fine light brown.
Some like fish fried in batter-as good a
batter asany is little ale and flour beat
en- up just as you are ready for it--then
| dip the fish in before fryingit Putplenty
of salt in the water in which you boil fish,
and a stick of horse-radish, excepting
mackerel, with which you boil salt, mint,

Those who compare present with for
mer prices of agricultural products, will
readily perceive that the rearing of good
stock, grazing and dairying, must prove,
in all favorable localities, the most prof.
table branches of farm husbandry. And
now is the time for those who understand
the business, or who can enter into it judi
ciously, to reap rich reward for their
skill, industry and attention. But prof
liable as it may prove to all (perhaps We
should say the few who know and pur
sue the right course, it is not the business
for the ignorant, careless or penny wise.
To achieve success, the stock farmer must
be well informed, skillful, attentive, and
imbued with the spirit of improvement
He must know what he is doing, or wish
es to do, and study the best of its accom-
plishment. If, for instance, he is rearing
horses, for sale or stock, he should study
the laws of breeding, and ought to know
on the start that, by proper foresight and
little extra expense, (for services of a
superior sire, an animal worth $3.50 or
$500 can be raised about as cheaply as
one that will sell for only half the sum first
named And the same is true, to a great
er or less extent, in breeding cattle, sheep,
and swine, &c. The man who manages
most judiciously, who studies the business
and expends few dollars whenever nee
essary to secure Improvement, will not
only make the most money, but do it in
the most satisfactory manner to all con-
cerned.
/ And there is room for skill, and GER
tainty of receiving proper reward for It's
exercise in the dairy business. Why Is
| it that the butter produced in certain coun-
ties in this State command from 6 to 10
cents more per pound than that made in
others, where the cows and pastures are,
or may be, equally good? The fault is
not in the animals nor the soil, certainly.
ut is in the reputation" you suggest
But pray, how was that reputation acquir-
ed and sustained?-Simply and only by
intelligent and well directed skill and in
dustry, and wise management. The same
result may be produced-similar reputa-
ton acquired, and prices obtained-by
adopting like management in other equally
favorable localities New Yorker.

Rhubarb.

This plant is coming very extensively
into use along our Lake Shore, and when
the dwellers inland learn to grow it, the
same will be generally true. At present
however, it seems to be put to single use
that of piemaking. It is admirable
for this, and the use. of it in this way, will
pay amply for its cultivation. But one
word as to treating it, Some personspeel
the stalks before cooking, while others
stew them before putting them into the
pie. Either is worse than useless. The
way is to wash the stalks simply then
cut them into small pieces, put them raw
into the pie; apply the seasoning and bake.
One who tries this will never depart from
il.
But there are OIL er uses for TIE pie
plant besides pastry Vinegar and wine
may be made OF l.. For these purposes,
the following method is pursued: Bruise
SIX pounds of Rhubarb stalks in one gal
Ion of cold spring water; let il stand in a
moderately cool place five or six days,
stirring IL now and 5hen each day then
srlin it through sieve, and add four
pounds of sugar, and one sliced lemon
Let it stand now without stirring for ten
days; then strain it through muslin, and
put it in cask. After fermentation is
over, which will last five or six weeks, add
an eigth of an ounce of isinglass. Then
either bung the cask or draw it off in bot
ties, and keep it in acool cellar, till a year
old. This for wine.
To make vinegar, proceed in the same
way to the putting in Of the isinglass,
which is now omitted then let it stand
in warm place with bung out till it is vim
egar. The best time to make the wine is
after the heats of summer are over. Oul
large Rhubarbs grow on moist soils, till
near or quite winter The earlier and
smaller, of course, die down long before

The Mission Church.

The old stone church, erected for the
Wyandot Mission, and its grave yard. in
which repose many of the early Indian
converts to christianity, are objects of
historical interest whose careful preserva-
ton is dictated by every principle of pro-
priety and good taste. We are sorry to
say that the present condition of the prem
ises prove thatthese principles have much
less vitality amongt the present race of Wy
andots than with their predecessors. The
building itself has been neglected, the
substantial fence surrounding the grounds
has been broken down, and the gates
thrown from their hinges, giving free ac-
cess to cattle, horses and hogs, which
roam at will among the graves, where
their progress is not impeded by the rank
growth of underbrush. In addition to
these negative wrongs, the front yard of
the church has been filed with graves,
which almost obstruct the passage to the
building itself; piece of impudent van
dalism almost without parallel, and en-
tirely without excuse.
The treaty with the Wyando:s provided
for the reservation and care of these
grounds; We are confident that the power
to protect them is vested somewhere, and
the circumstances detailed call loudly for
its rigid exercise, Their present condi-
tion is reproach to all who have any re-
sponsibility in the matter.

Docking Lambs.

We cannot help scissoring the following
J from the Country Gentleman. ga Far
mer" is a man after our own heart. Most
men seem to think that our domestic ami
mails, like the old woman's eels, have 90.
used to docking and all sorts of unneces-
sary mutilation.
Our own theory is that the All Wise
Creator has made every animal in such a
way as best to subserve the purposes of
Its creation, and as in despite of all mod
ern improvements, He still persists in at
taching the tails and ears, we doubt the
policy as well as humanity of removing
them.
In the July number of the Cultivator,
8. w. Jewett has given what he calls a
safe method of docking lambs. tits simp-
ly this: "Sht down the skin lengthwwe,
about an inch. The artery, if in lamb,
will be seen the size of common knitting
needle. Draw a thread Of waxed linen
orsilk under the artery, with common
straight needle, or one little crooked at
the point is better. Tie up tight before
you cut Oft the tail; which you will sever
Just below the knot. This is all done
very easily, and with very little loss OF
+ blood You may sprinkle little dust
or pulverized alumni on the wound to ad-
vantage"
- Now ! have no doubt that this is all
very easily done by Mr.. Jewett, or any
other person who chooses, but isit so easy
for the poor lamb to snffer it. But since
Mr.. Jewett has given his method for cut
ting off lambs tails, if he would give hi,
reasons for SO doing, and the advantage,
arising from it, I would be very thank
full.
For my part, l am opposed to docking
any animal, and sheep in particular, ane
l will give some of my reasons for it.
The hrst is this, a long tailed sheep is O
some advantage to the wool-grower, o,
account OF the wool on it. And in tn,
second place, it s.of great advantage t,
the sheep, especially when flies are plenty
And in the third place long tail look
better than a short one. And in the fourtl
place, ] think docking is very barbarou
practice, and one ] hope which will 500
be abandoned.
