The Executive Committee Of the Iowa
County Agricultural Society, publish here
with the List of Premiums for their Elev-
enth Annual Fair; aud it is hoped that all
classes of our people, for whose benefit
the Fair has been instituted, will feel q re-
newed interest in its success, and the con-
tinued prosperity of the Society.
The most essential condition of aericul-
tural progress-peace has now again fully
returned to our land. So late was the
disbandment of our volunteer armies
rotracted after the close of the war. that
not until the harvest of the present year
were there men enough IN our community
for the ordinary requirements of field la
Dor. All the great interests of society have
now haG time TO return to their peaceful
channels and agriculture in which more
than all other arts or emplOyn ents of men
lies the recuperatiye power of the nation,
may again receive the attentlO which ii
demands
Notwithstanding the very unrayorable
harvest weather, and the difficulties cons
sequently experienced in getting home the
crops, we believe the present season will
prove to be a most bountiful one to the
farmer, and that our Fair NAV exhibit the
smaller grains in quality and quantity
unequalled IN previous exhibitions for
several years.
We would again call attention to the
Indebtedness of the Society, (now reduced
to two hundred dollars, and to the fact
that many and extensive repairs on the
grounds are much needed. The pecuniary
success of the Fair IS our only legitimate
reliance for the means of freeing the So
ciety from embarrassing obligations, and
for making the required improvements.
1t will be observed that considerable
notifications of, and additions to, the
Premium List, have been made, which
will, we hope, give general satisfaction,
and contribute TO the success of the exhi-
btion.

\ TERRIBLE STORM That portion Of
LapoIte county, Indiana, lying a few
miles east of Michigan City, was visited
on Friday last by one of the most terrific
storms that has ever witnessed in that
neishborhood. The path OF the storm was
about mile in width. Crops of all kinds
were, in many places, swept clean of the
ground and the timber, for niles has been
blown down, snapped OF and uprooued.-
Eight hundred cords Of timber was blown
down on an eighty acre tract of a Mr..
Burroughs. and over 800 cords on a forty
acre tract belonging 70 Mr. II. Miller
This is sample of the wide spread ruin
of the storm. Hail stones large as small
hens eggs fell, sweeping fields of corn
and buckwheat, vines and shrubbery, as
clean as If mown by n scythe. Sash, IN
the line of the storm, We're riddled clean

CoLoRED STARCH. IA late English in
vention of colored starch is Que Of the
greatest novelties in the London iashiona-
bic world. Several colors are already
produced, and the invention IS being ex>
tended to others. Any article starched
with this preparation is completely colored
by it. but as the dye readily washes out,
the garment that was pink today may be
made green tomorrow, and so on. This
starch is of great use for those bright but
treacherously colored lnusins that are
very costly, but, as their colors wash out,
continually perplex the owners. If the
pattern has been green, starch Of that
color is used, and the green remains; and
the same is true Of any other color To
have the means always at hand, not only
of keeping colors fast, but also Of vary
ing them day by day, must be invaluable

KLDERBKRRY WINE.

To make this wine the berries should
be gathered when perfectly dry, and il
one is very particular in regard to flavor,
the berries separated from the stems, mash
fine, then add two gallons of boiling water
TO one Of pomace, and let it stand until
it begins to ferment. After pressing out
the juice, ado three pounds of sugar to
each gallon; put into clean casks, jugs
or demijohns, fill them full, and keep
them full, as it tends to fermentation; then
cork up air-tight, or bottle of. 1t will be
fit for use in four to six months, but will
improve with age. If the quantity to be
made is small it may be pressed in a
coarse strainer, or piece of coarse cotton
or flannel, or, what is better, a strong
cssk with holes thickly bored through it,
and put under hand cider-mill or cheese
press.
On a winters night when one has a
cold and feels wheezy generally, we should
like to know any physic that is equal to
elderberry wine. AS an article to have in
the house, not to be used constantly as a
beverage, but occasionally as a gentle
stimulant-a sort of medicine when one
does not want physic, there are not many
things equal to the juice of the elderberry.
Both these statements are to be qualified
with the proviso that it must be good and
uure,

GRAPE HINTS.

Grapes coming in bearing should not
be permitted to perfect large crops of fruit
while young. 1t is excusable to fruit a
bunch or so on a young vine, 'just to test
the kind" but no more should Bepermit-
ted till the vine has age and strength
Vigorous growth, and great productive
ness, are the antipodes of the vegetable
world. Encourage as much foliaps as
possible on the vines,asnd ain, to have as
strong shoots at the basc. as at the ton of
Ine cane snls can be done by pinching
!. ou' 'nr points of the strong shoots after
.ney have made a growth of five or SIX
leaves. This will make the weak ones
grow stronger. Young vines grow much
faster over twiggy branch, stuck in for
support, than over a straight stick as a
trelfis, and generally do better every way.
Where extra fine punches of grapes are
desired, pinch back the shoot bearing il
about four or five inches above the bunch.
This should not be done indiscriminately
with all the punches. Too much pinch
ing and stopping Injuries the production
of good wood for the next season.
These hints are for amateurs, who have
a few vines OF trellises; for large vineyard
culture, though the same principles hold
good, so far as they go, they will vary in
their application.-Ga Gardeners Monthly.

PROFAEE OXEN,

Mr.. NJ, of n, little village
in Vermont was so profane that oaths
were the staple of his conversation. With
his oxen he GLSOays swore, so that they
knew no other language whatever, He
became convinced, however, of the error of
his ways, and joined the church. A few
days after he had occasion to draw some
logs, and yoked up his four oxen for the
purpose. By great exertion he succeeded
in getting them to the forest with the
empty sled, but when heavy log had
been duly loaded he found it impossible
to make the oxen pull together, or in the
same direction, and finally, to pull at all.
Loud and repeated vociferation was in
vain; the oxen could not understand his
Christainized terminology. At this juno
ture neighbor, who had secretly follow
ed him to the woods to see howHwell con-
verted he would prove to be, and who had
no scruples against swearing, came to his
rescue, sUore the refractory "boves" into
obedience, and out of the forest to the
house, where he concluded bargain for
them on very low terms.

CULTIVATION OF RAsPBRRRIEs.-

J. P. Willis, of the firm of Willis
Bros Buchanan, Michigan, who has had
10 years experience in raising small fruits
for the Chicago Market writes to the
Prairie Farmer;
"0ur new plantation of raspberries we
are putting in rows five feet apart each
way, which enables us to run the cultiva-
tor both ways. But we recommend, when
land is high priced, to plant five feet by
two and half in the row; then, after the
second crop of fruit is of, remove every
other plant, leaving them five by five.
When canes have thrown a growth of
four to five feet pinch them of, which
causes them to thicken up, whereby they
will support themselves without stakes or
trellises, besides the fruit is much finer
The DooEtthe Improved Black Cap is
the only variety we are planting to any ex-
tent for market, it being perfectly hardy,
and standing out coolest winters without
protection, flesh hard, which enables it to
bear carriage, of large size and an abun-
dant bearer. 1t does not sucker from the
roots, but is propagated by covering the
ends Of the canes. August and Septem-
Der is the time to propagate them"

They know little of this passion, who

duce of common soils; the needful aliment
of that great principle of nature, which
alike people our cities and our plains, our
rivers, and the air we breathe. In many

once into giant life. And how manifold

this delirium of all the faculties has been
produced, is destroyed. We strive, in
vain, to recall the mere manor woman

tress we now adore. SpeI-bound in the
fascination, enthralled in the idolatry of
suddenly awakened passions, we discover
wisdom, wit beauty, eloquence, grace,

hitherto we beheld them not, or, at the
