Agricultural Meeting.

Re- We hope our farmers will not
forget that the Agricultural Society vot-
ed to meet at the Court House on the
last Saturday of the present month for a
general discussion of matters of interest
to the farmer, and also to listen to lis
course from Mr.. DAVID GOULD, Of Buff
falo Grove, upon Agricultural topics.
1t seems to us that nothing would profit
our farmers more than monthly meetings
of this character. Amid a good deal
of speculation and theory that may pos
sibly be advanced, much valuable nfor-
nation could not fail to be impaired in
such discussions as would arise at these
meetings. They would assuredly lead to
experimentation, and this to the deyel-
opment of important facts. Many state
ments would receive credence, when com
ing from the lips of neighbor, that
might not be deemed worthy of belief
if gathered from an agricultural or other
journal. Besides, the peculiar wants and
necessities Of our own region are thus
brought under review, and the informa-
ton elected is therefore Immediately ben
eficial. The farmer, too, will be led to
notice, reason upon, and profit by, many
things which now escape his notice, in
asmuch as he will most likely be seeking
for some information to impart at these
meetings. The causes of disease and de-
cay in his animals and vegetables, he
may possibly have solved, by bringing
the facts to the notice of his fellow-mem-
bers, saving him much loss. A hint
may be dropped. at the time unappreci-
ated, that may eventually prove invalu-
able to some member of the society.
Such has been the tendency, the infu-
ence, the result, of these Farmers Clubs.
They have become universally prevalent,
as they are uniformly popular. Mr.. GOULD
deserves praise for having inaugurated
such movement here, and we hope our
farmers will second his efforts to make
the meetings interesting and profitable.
We believe him to be man of ability,
and have no doubt that his address will
have practical value.

was named ; and therefore made shorter
than any other month. But it is an old
adage that 1t is an i'll wind that blows

day afternoon, it has much crowded into
it that should have been done at an ear

early Tomorrow morning with the sound
Of your axe, and give yourself no holi-
day until you have wood enough in your
yard to last you a year. Yes, whole
year; for l trust you will not try you
wife's patience another winter by obi
ging her to burn green wood, saying
nothing of the miserable economy Of SO
doing. One moments consideration
shows you that the moisture in the wood
will not burn, and that it must all be
dried out with heat before any can be
spared to warm the room. Now no far
NOR can afford to dry his wood after it
goes into the stove, SO long as the sun
will do it for nothing. during the long
summer days. And then just compare
the labor of drawing through the sloughs
