is necessary there is no lack of shade. and the
grounds around extend like an amphitheatre,
giving perfect view of every part. OF the
stock exhibited he would speak by compare
son with Allegany county stock, and Aliega-
ny is a county Of 30, 900 people The horses
are beautiful, and the colts particularly show
the spirit of Improvement. The blooded stock
was very superior. In respect to the agri-
cultural implements exhibited they comprise
the latest inventions and most approved plans
Now, what has stirred up all this advance
ment, and produced all these gratifying re-
suits? He could not doubt it was the Agri-
cultural Society of the county which has
done this thing, which has given an impetus
to all these Improvements. The society is
entitled to the credit of all this, and it will
not be long before Montgomery will be the
banner county, the "head of the heap" Col.
Mckaig had been recently in Ohio and Iowa,
and when in those States in his younger days,
where he had worked hard, land produced
twenty, twenty-five, and thirty bushels of
wheat TO the acre; it brings now only about
ten bushels. The reason for this is that they
continue now the same system they did when
he was boy. Seed wheat should not be
raised on the land it is to SOW. Crosses are
best as well in the vegetable as in the other
Kingdoms of Nature. The farmer will find it
best to buy his seed wheat and from distant
part of the country. In six or seven years
the Mediterranean wheat, which was origi-
nally small, long, rye-like grain, has chang
cd, and become like the ordinary wheat of the
country. There is in nature power of as
similation Of this sort. 1t is with potatoes as
with wheat. The seed should be brought
from distance, and thus the quality of the
crop will be kept good. Col. McKaig briefly
