Fair weather.-For week past we have
had cool, clear pleasant weather for harvesting
and haying and judging from the appearance
OF our streets, we conclude our farmers are inn
proving it fully. And the fair weather comes
in good time. 1t was needed to secure the hay
and the barley, wheat aud oat crops. As near
ID We can learn, NO great loss has been occa-
stoned by the continued rains, in this section OF
the country. Some fields of clover that were
cut have been damaged, and some hay has been
water soaked several times, but on the whole
the actual damage has been small overbal
anced perhaps by the influence the rainy wealth.
er has had in impeding the ravages Of the bug.
CnutiOn.-Mr. Speer has been to great ex
pense and spent years in travelling in Europe
and in procuring the Samburg grape from Port
ugal, Sainburg being the name used in Portugal
tor this variety of grapes, and getting the wine
under proper cultivation in this country, he hav-
ing no intention of making business of it, or
ever offering the wine for sale, but simply
distributing it among his friends. 1t was done
more for pleasure and experiment than any thing
elee His yearly income gives him ample sup
port without it as business and only after being
persuaded and urged by physicians of New
York Hospital, and other eminent medical men
who had tested the wine, that he was induced
20 extend the vineyard and devote his whole
time to the cultivation OF the grape and manag-
ing of the wine. 1t 10 therefore, no small matter
when the public are deluded and are induced
10y Interpretations of selfish. unprincipled or
gnorant persons to use spurious manufactured
article called wine, instead of using pure rich
juice wine from the grape. Be these represent
tatons either through ignorance or from selfish
motives it is right we should caution people to
be careful what they drink. when a pure wine
SO rich from the grape, and without addition of
sugar, water. or liquor can SO readily be OBJ
aimed. Every drop Of Speer's Samburg wine
is pure, and when put in the market has his
signature over the cork of each bottle.
The Reaper and Mower TrIaI-The
great trial OF Reapers in this county under the
auspices of the Kenosha County Agricultural
Society, took place according to previous notice
On Wednesday of last week. Being unwell at
be time. we were compel ed to relinquish the
pleasure we had promised ourself, witnessing
the trial However, our absence did not pres
vent the trial taking place ss some people would
probably have supposed. A goodIy number of
entered the lists, and a goodly nuns
Der of spectators were present to judge for them
selves of the merits OF the several machines en-,
gagged
We have received the following account of
the t,ial, and the Machines entered, from our
friend F. NEWELL. Esq, Secretary of the Ag.
riculturaI Society:
The Mower and Reaper Trial.
The Mower aud Reaper trial came off at the
time and place advertised. As the weather bad
been untavorable for farming for plumber If
days, fears were entertained, that the proposed
trial would prove failure. But before noon
the Mowers and Reapers appeared. Farmers
came from different parts Of the county until it
was evident that the interest in the exhibition
was altogether above the expe ctations OF the
most ardent friends of the trial.
There were s entries ofMowers and of Reap.
srs. Six of the Mowers were single machines,
aud two combined. Two of the Reapers were
combined and one. self raker, single Reaper.
Entries were made by r n. Slosson of Keno.

Carlton Pierce of Paris-a Woods, single
mower,
c. Taylor of Bristol and F. A Higgins of
Pleasant Prairie, each Buckeye, single mower.
A. w. Pease of Salem, the Clipper.
David Stewart Salem. the Yankee.
B, Dodge, Salem, the Nanny, combined.
FL. R. Lavey, Of Bristol, his own manufacture,
combined.
Mr.. Vincent. of Bristol entered Woods Self

all was well done.
Mr.. Lsvey il entitled to great praise, having
invented combined machine of eaay dra fl, which
did its work well in Moving and Reaping.
The Nanny machine worked we'll. and is so
we'll known in this vicinity as to need no praise.
The Woods Self Rsker has no equal in this
section of the country.
The easy mode of adjustment and lightness Of
draft were the principal points of interest in the
different machines.
Each machine was tested by the Dynamomeis,
which showed variation of draft of about l0t
pounds. Yet, when the difference of the width
OF the cut was est mated, it was found there was
not that difference in draft at fret supposed
