wish 20 claim any exaggerated excel

exhibition, for they are not expected
with rare exceptions, to possess such
qualities; but they possess better quail
tiles for stimulus and instruction than
the Louvre or Valhalla. hundreds Of
cunning hands and palp.ta'ing hearts
in the country are moved to work by
these exhibitions. Time which is usu-
ally too precious in a farmers or me-
chanic's eye to be wasted in actual stu

of competing works, and to avoid the
former, and to adopt or learn the lat
ter And here let it not be forgotten,
that the Fair grounds have advanta-
ges over every or any gallery. A fine
horse is a finished picture--so is a fine
OK. No sculptor of Rhodes ever cut
such outlines of strength and beauty
as may be seen at a good cattle show.
Landscer never painted such sheep, or
cattle, nor Cyup such fruits, as are seen
at an agricultural fair. The exhibit

"large horse ring is a better studio
than any imperial munifcence can col

horses, cattle, furniture, fruits, veget-
ables, flowers, fancy work and pictures
the taste is both created and refined,
and many rustic homes are better
adorned year after year, for thoughts
and feelings which spring up, from a
visit of children and adults to the Fair.
The last good result from Fairs, is
the social umrlio1atiOn which they
work. 1t might be taken for granted
that when the mind is enlarged, and
refined, social culture would follow;
but good flows in from other sources.
The cessation from toll and the free
commlngling with one another tends to
soften toll, to abate prcjudiccs and to
enlarge sympathies. Men love each
other more for seeing each other, for
interchanging opinions, for friendly
emulation. All persons need recrea-

dyism and lawlessness, but these are
not their product--they are incidental
to them. Not in fresh country air, nor
among the laboring ranks of the pure
fields, arc such things generated; but
in crowded cities. and the dark purli-
Gus thereof, do they tester and thrive.
Doubtless unlawful persons and un-
wholesome places can be found by the
experts" in such matters, and what
carrion, however far off, does not the
vulture snuff, for he has, as have some
men, a genius for corruption; but not
on the Fair grounds, but rather in an.

nutritious method of feeding it is to

COW is worth keeping at all, she is
worth being kept right, and one thus

Sheep farmers in the Middle and
Northwestern States are beginning to
acknowledge the necessity ofproviding
shelter for their sheep during the win
ter. Aside from considerations of hui
mainly, it is proved satisfactorily that
a flock wintering comfortably, under
shelter, will afford a greater margin OF
profit in proportion to the expense OF
keep. than the same number of sheep
forced to winter without protection
Shelter decreases largely the percent
age of losses from disease and death
shelter increases the weight of the
fleece and improves the quality of the
wool--Shelter increases the number OF
lambs--shelter effects material saving
in provender; and, finally, it gives to
the farmer large quantity ofvaluable
manure, which would otherwise be al
most altogether lost.
