This is the season of agricultural
fairs. But comparatively few years
ago these fairs attracted little attcn-

which our country has made in agri-

the old system under which lands
were cultivated, have rendered these
annual meetings exceedingly interest
ing to all for whom rural pursuits
have any attraction.
