The County Fairs of 1853.

Notwithstanding the clamor of the blt-
ter political campaign just closed, we are
glad to note that the county Agricultural
Fairs, this season, have been generally
very successful, many of them more SO
than on any previous year. Several rain
storms have occurred, to interrupt the
pleasure of sight seeing, as well as to dl-
minish the number in attendance, but the
spirit of the friends of progressive agri-.
culture and mechanics, is in no way dam
pened, on the contrary, it is more fully
aroused and the benefits resulting from
these annual exhibitions, are more gene
rally appreciated.
twill be impossible for us to give even
brief history of the several exhibitions
worthy of especial notice; for this neces-
sary omission our readers will the more
readily pardon us, from the fact that the
local papers in each county, have gene
orally given very full reports, which
are more Immediately interesting to the
citizens of the county to which they re-
late, than they would be to those at a dis
tance; and anything like a fair report
would occupy our entire columns for
months. Where all have done well we
do not wish to draw invidious distinctions
-as this species of competition is for er
cellence rather than victory.
As general feature of the fairs of the
season, we notice that live stock and
vegetables are mostly represented. The
stock especially shows rapidly growing
spirit of Improvement. Many hundreds
of thousands of dollars in value, have
been added to the live stock of Ohio in
this competition for excellence, which will
continue to increase in an accelerated ra
ito. We are glad to see such healthy
competition in those departments, but we
hope the mechanical interests will not be
overlooked, cr the mechanics themselves
backward in showing their claims to due
attention. In this work of general pro-
gress we think the public will agree with
us that the agency Of the agricultural
press has been a chief cause of success;
and for the industrial interests of this
State, and the west generally, we may be
allowed to suggest that the Ohio Cultiva-
or has done better service than all the
floods of political bombast and party or
atory that have SO fully occupied the pub
lie mind.
In this connection we are glad to notice
that the conductors of the local press are
becoming aware that home interests are of
paramount Importance to the fctions of
demagogues, and are setting apart por-
ton Of their paper (quite too small to
the consideration of agricultural subjects.
They should be still more thoroughly en-
listed in promoting the success of the
county agricultural societies Ohio Cul-

~The Louisville Journal relates the
particulars of strange tragedy that oc-
CURED last Saturday, on the Bardstown
road, eigh miles out of the city:
"Christian G. Martin had been teach
ing school there and engaged himself to
Miss Emily Shaw, also teacher, whose
parents reside there. Martin had in fact
obtained the marriage license. After
wards he concluded not to marry her, and
to screen himself from the consequences
presented a paper to her for her signature,
in which she was charged with having ex-
ercised the grossest improprieties towards
his person. She of course refused to sign
it. Martin and brother of Miss Shaw
then got into fight in the road. Shaw
drew pistol, which Martin attempted to
wrench from him, and it went off accident
ally, the ball entering in front near the
shoulder and lodging in the back. Miss
Shaw unconscious that Martin was woun-
ded, then jumped the fence, walked up to
Martin, and shot him in the side He died
in about fifteen minutes"

to expect model fair; and the result
showed that we had not over estimated

The thorough and excellent system,
which pervaded all the arrangements de-
serves to be studied by allwho have any
thing to do with the management of Coun-
ty Fairs. The exhibition itself was a
good one. But little attention has yet
been paid in Crawford to the improvement
of cattle, and they of course lack the ma
terial for getting up first rate show in
this department. There were some good
cattle, and fair show of work oxen. The
fine sheep were hard to beat, and the
Suffolk pigs shown by Judge Musgrave
and Doctor Converse couldn't be beat in
this region The exhibition Of poultry
was good-the differentvarieties; of China
fowls being well represented. .Lsl't.t &
The show of fruit was good, there
should have been more competition. The
principal premiums in that class were
awarded to Benjamin Sears of Bucyrus
Fine samples Of grain, and specimens Of
pumpkins squashes and garden sarse gene
rally were exhibited in rich profusion.-
The skill and taste of the ladies were ap-
parent in the arrangement and decoration
of FL raj Hall, as well as in sundry choice
specimens of useful and fancy needle
work. The performances of the ring, OF
to use the now fashionable term the Hip
podrone seemed to be among the most
attractive features of the fair. There
was strong riding tall riding, fancy riding
and graceful riding, and perhaps other
varieties not appreciable to our unscienti-
fc perception. Personally we like to see
a graceful and skillful lady rider, and il
this accomplishment were general among
females it would do much to check that
enervation and debility which luxury and
idleness have broughtupon SO many of oul
country women-Yet for the soul of us,
the connection between these sports of the
arena, and agricultural Improvement, re-
mains somewhat indistinct, and unless
speedily enlightened, we shallfeel impel-
led to move transfer of this particular
branch, to the Jockey clubs. But we are
getting talka-katiye, and must curb oul
loquacity. ,e.s. t

creditable to the farmers and mechanic;
Of Crawford, to their wives and daugh-
ters, and more especially to the efficient
officers of the Agricultural Society.

ion of the soil and the planting, for on

- 4
ton of the soil and the planting, for on
this will depend the future profits. Il is
better to expend even a dollar in putting
out the tree well than doing it poorly at
nothing, for the greater and earlier profits
would more than compensate for the ex-
ira expense Cole, in his American Fruit
Book, tells an incident of a farmer who
dismissed a hand because in his absence
he set only nine trees in a day. The far
mer put out the balance of hundred him
self the next day. The result was, when
they bore fruit the nine were more valu-
able than the ninety 7one.
The soil should be made loose, rich
and firm, and that to the depth of quite
two feet, and some distance around. The
hole for the reception of the tree should
be ample enough to allow the full extern
sion of the roots in their natural position.
If the subsoili is such as will retain water
then the tree should be planted nearer
the surface of the ground, which in such
cases may be gently elevated by the ad-
dition of fine earth, so that in all cases
the tree shall stand the same depth it did
in the nursery. The rootlets should all
be gently extended and the fine earth
worked into all the cavities by the hand
and fingers, SO that the earth shall press
all parts, and if when nearly full pail of
water be put in, it will settle the earth
more securely about the roots. Cover
to the requisite depth and press gently
with the foot. The fall rains will make
all right in settling the earth. The
mound thrown up will keep the roots
warm and preserve them from the effects
of the frost, while it will preserve the tree
upright against the winds. Two hands
should be employed i'll the tree business
one to hold the tree in its place while the
other places the roots and the dirt around
them, during the operation, as in such
case more or less of the roots are sure to
be displaced.
Defer the pruning operations till the
tree assumes activity in the spring, and
then do not be over anxious in the matter
Above all things don't make whip stocks
of your orchard; let the limbs grow-they
produce theleaves which are the lungs of
the plant, the organs that assimilate the
food. If there is a generous supply of
them, the tree will flourish and grow Won
derfully-provided there's alimentenough
in the soil. And then you can remove a
little at time, and just where it should
be. Give your trees low heads. They
will stand the strong winds better, will
shade the trunk from the hot summer
suns-will produce better fruit which
can be gathered with less trouble and
with less injury to it.-Ruroz New Yorker.

Fall Planting of Trees.

There are some advantages in setting
trees in the fall. Usually at this season
there is not so much hurry, and the bust
ness may be better attended to. In some
soils, if the setting be made early, the
tree will do better and make greater
growth the ensuing season,-in fact will
be scarcely if at,all retarded. The earth
is then warm and the roots are induced
to send out fbres that are prepared to
take hold in their proper time and bring
in nourishment for the early expansion
of the buds.
We would therefore urge the setting
out of trees in the fall But care must
be had in the matter, the nature of the
soil considered and the sort of tree you
would put out. The Peach, Apricot and
such like tender trees, generally do better
set in the spring; we would not recon-
mend moving these in Autumn. In soil
retentive of water, perhaps the spring is
more preferable. Trees, however, set in
such soil at any time should be placed
very near the surface, and they should
have ample drainage. With sufficient
pains trees will do as well however set in
the fall, but it should be done earlier, in
fact as early as it will answer to lift the
tree from the nursery. A good broad
mound should be thrown around the tree
1t will keep it upright, keep the roots
warm and serve to shed the autumnal ac-
cumulation of water. This mound o.
earth is beneficial for all trees set in fal
on any soil, and is also preventive O
mice girdling the tree or gnawing at the
bark
Trees may be lifted from the nursery
as soon as two or three sharp frosts have
checked the growth; in fact, before all the
leaves are shed. Taking the matter thus
early in hand, the operator has greater
length of time to do this business in. He
can therefore have no excuse for not be-
slowing all the care necessary to insure {
rapid, continuous and healty growth o
the tree. And what he may not have
completed in the Autumn can be carried
forward in the spring.
When you go to take up a tree dom
tear it out as you would some bush yol
desire to destroy. 1t is much better tc
first loosen the earth, note how the roots
extend themselves, and then carefully re
move them as entire as possible. If on
chance to be split, broken or mutilated
it should be carefully cut smoothly off
generally slantingty from the under side
The wound then quickly heals and th'
granulous matter thus formed often shoot!
out numerous other roots. Don't expose
the roots to wind, sun and air, and abov'
all the frost. 1t is better to put damn
moss, old wet hay, or any thing that viii
keep them in their natural state of moist
ness. When they are to be carried far
pudding, thatis dipping the roots in mu'
SO they shall be thoroughly coated, i
beneficial, and especially SO if something
be wrapped around them. When puddl
ing, the mud should be washed or rinset
off when set in the ground.
