FARMERS CLUES.

Some time ago al attempt was a,0de here
to organize Farmers Club, which, unfOr-
tunately proved nbortive Enough persons
could not Gc brought to take an interest in
abandoned. The failure Of that project ,how-
ever, did not in the slightest degree shake our
confidence in the great benefit that must re-
suit flom well organized Club of this de-
scrpiion. 1t is Tie thing for the farmer of
the present age, after good Agricultural
paper. We even place it before Agricutu-
raj Fairs for real substantial benefit to the
farmer, FOR i, is in the club that farmers must
learn how to make Fairs more attractive; and
more beneficial
There ale thousand and one things Of
actual importance to the farmer to know and
which can only be found out from experience,
aud ir single farmer is to rely on his own
individual efforts, his life is not long enough
TO fndsrout one tenth par, OF what he should
know. But suppose Farmers Club is or.
ganizcd in every School ID strict, or in any
School District and numbers twenty mem.

member could agree to try an experiment in

, that the experiments which would require
one man twenty years, viii bs accomplished
, by association il on year, an each m IN has
the result before him.
Again, farmers cln bring together The
experience of their past lives, aud from the
Iulnrss Of that experience select the gems
which sill bu Of benefit to the society. Some.
thing of Mis- kind must be done A good Az
ricuI'ual paper may afford information to
great cNtcn, on all topics, but there are To-

be- applied TO the worn out lands of the old
cr states would not be at all applicable to our
soil, which "Geghts itself ia fatncss," nor TO
tde land farther west, where, in ,he language
p! the old slnattcr 'the sIc extends down to
the centre oi the airih" 1t is only bv actu.
al experiment that real facts in Agriculture
are to be brought out.
We agree that agriculture is science"
--ayo md noble science, too, and the only
professors hlc the sunhurn,, horny handed
ycomen of the country, not necessarily vers-
cd in all the learning of the schools, but rich
IN experience, and bearing in every wrinkle
Of their brows the marks of honest tell and
cndeavor. 1t is TO these we appeal for the
organizing of the Farmers Clubs--ror it is
this cluss that will be more directly benefited
by then.
We shall refer To this subject again, and in
the meantime we hope that the foregoing
hurried and rambling thoughts ay draw out
some of our farmers on this subject to give
us their views.

TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT IN CALIFORNIA
The New-Yo.k Times thus discusses the
presen. aspect of the Temperance Reform in
The Golden State.
The Legislature has s9ent much time upon
u bill to suppress gambling, another to pre-
vent $ b5ltr breaking, an still anoth-
er to ubate the nuisance Of uses OF i'll fame.
Moreover, 90 900 pet t)ners, il is thuu, h.
have sent up their prayer to the Legislature
for stringent Prohioitory Liquor Law. Six
months ago the Temperance organ in tn"
$ ate announced officially that there we're 8
00o Piled ,ed temperance men in California.
Now their number is estimated at 20 900 II
rapid aud wonderful progress in the Ten
perance reform The San Francisco News
speaks thus on the subject:
"The most marked edrevoluton in this par
ticular has taken place in the mining COIN
ties. In several of Ii, So counties there are
as many as eight aud ten divisions OF the
Sons OF Temperance, and their number is
rapidly increasing. The many bloody fights,
sudden deaths, and sthe loss of money at the

The State Fair for 1895.

The annexed Communication from the Se-
cretary Of the Board Of agriculture, will show
he position occupied by the Board. in regard
to holding a Fair during The present year.
STATE AGRICULTURAL Rooms,
Columbus, April 5, 1866.
Editors Journal
GLNTLEMEN The inquiry is now being fre.
quently made, as to whether there will be u
Estate Agricultural and Mechanical Fair" in
Ohio, the coming autumn. We know of no
means Of nsTering this question $50 iai as
we have the Gacts,) 80 well, as through the
I"prcss." ..-.
1t is krown to mauy, that the estate Board
of Agriculture" has addressed two circulars
to the Railroad Companies Of OIio,--thc first
urging them not to cut of these exhibitions,
by passing general regulation" as propo-
sed for charging half freight upon all stock
and articles shipped for exhibition
The second, respectfully asking them to re-
consider, restoring former terms, after the
regulation above named had been passed. on
the ground that we could not hold Fair upon
the plan proposed by them. (We are con-
firmed in this opinion, by extensive commn.
Z
instance, in recent letter from Clinton
county,--and to this county we always lock
! for n very large entry of stock-we are told
that in case Fair is held this year III der
the plan proposed by the Railroad Compa-
mics, there will be no stock taken from that
couniy.)
The three roads named below, are placed
by action of their Directors, upon the ground
heretofore occupied, viz: with full restora-
/ ton of foimer terms: The c., G. g. G., the
1 G.. g. Erie, and the Central Ohio roads. The
Sandusky g. M,nsfald Co. replied that they
would restore former terms, provided the Fair
be located upon, or near either terminus Of
that road. As NO invitation has been extend
cd to our Board from either OF the points ip-
dicated,we of course cannot make such a pro-
position available. The Ohio & Indiana road
extending from CrestIine to Fort Wayne, has
replied through their directors, in regard
to carrying passengers at half-iare, only on
through tickets, but mike no mention Of the
subject Of the circular, upon which alone we
base our action. There has been no commu-
nica,iuns received from Companies not named
above.
We observe that other States have already
fixed upon time and place, for their several
Fairs. 1t is now about three months later
than the period, at which our Fairs have
heretofore been located, aud the preliminaries
determined upon.
The President of our Board has fixed upon
next month, to call meeting of the Board
which will have for its object the fixing upon
plan of operation, in the absence ota State
Fair. II we hold State Fair. the prelimi-
naric5 and location must be determined upon
very speedily. &. SPRAGUE.

rrcm r,owcr C,r,r...;.

From Southern California we have accounts
Of one Of the most atrocious acts ever committed
by even Mexican officer. 1t seems that Gen.
Melendrez ub-Chief and Commandant of the
Frontier, was accused by some of his enemies.
before the Government in La Paz, of an inten-
ton to sell Lower California to certain Van.
KEGS. Gen. Blancarte, the Civil and Military
Governor, therenpon convened Court Martial,
which proceeded to try him.. although he was at
the time some 900 leagues distant, and, finding
him guilty, cond emned him to be shot. Accord
ingly one Jose Pujol, who appears 10 be worse
than brute, was dispatched, with the death
warrant in his pocket, to execute the sentence Of
the Court The manner of execution. however,
rested with him, and horribly, disgustingly he
fulfilled his mission. We clip the following ac-
count of his proceedings from correspondent
of the s. F. Herald:- a'4i.s1
"Arrived in San vincente. he sent letter TO
Melendrez, full OF the most friendly sentiments,
asked't him jestingly, how much he Would give
for the new appointment he brought him, and
requested his immediate presence TO confer upon
him his new dignity and arrange some business
"Timeo Dnnaus. ct dOna ferentes." Melendrez
peared, he ought 10 take care how he yentured
in tie Hons den." but Melendrez, strong in in
nocencr and merit, went. He was ushered .iAto
Pnjolss room, who rose, shook hands with him
and embraced him, calling him by every friendly
name, but while he held him in his arms, he
made sign TO some soldiers behind Meiendrez
who Immediately advanced, threw him on the
floor and tied his hands and feet. Then, but not
before he was firmly bound, the miscreant Puiol
commenced to abuse him in terms SO infamous,
SO vile, loathsome, that cOtnnlbn decency
would forbid their recital. "Ah you MISERABLE
hound, traitor, sco1ndrel without honor br re-
gion, are you here Have got you Now
you will see how Spanish gentleman knows
TO punish 5uch offal you are! (Here he spat
in the face and trod upon the prisoners body.)
Die you WON'T Oh no, my beauty, l want to
torment you little yet Sixteen hours you
have to live, and not a minute before please
you shall die. To the vile Yankee you tried to
deliver your country, to those mean dogs, those
rapacious hyenas. Well, well, I'll pay you in
full now, just wait bit, my jewel"
But it is disgusting to continue such bill
lingsgate. Thus he continued to torment his
prisoner during whole evening. entire night
and next morning until midday, not permitting
him to be removed from his own room (Pujols)
that he might constantly revile him. At 70
o'clock next day he was dragged by rope, his
feet and hands still tied, TO the place of execu-
tion, and shot by two soldiers in the head; but
the balls not killing him, two other wretches
with muskets had to be called 10 finish him, and
thus finally after martyrdqm of nearly twenty
four hours, exceeding in horrible atrocity many
bloody pirates tale, died Antonio Maria Melen-
drez Sub,Governor Of lhe Northern District of
Lower California.
