The Hearth and Home has some season
able words about our Agricultural Fairs,
thus:
1T is immensely beneficial for farmers
to have an occasional holiday Tied to
the plow-handle, the hoe handle, the
scythe, the spade, the axe, occasional re-
lief is of the utmost Importance and the
meeting of men and women Of diverse
sections OF Il common country, all ell
gagged in common pursuits, on an Occa-
sion on which all have common and
equal interest is relief change that
is incomparably valuable, and so long as
the legitimate purpose of these Fairs was
kept in the foreground, the institution of
them everywhere was hailed with salts
faction, and was only productive OF good.
But they are fast becoming prostitutcd
to other and base purposes. Fast horses
are sought to be made the attraction, and
not products that grow in the gardens,
or in the fields, or the cattle that craze
in the meadows.
'Look at any of our premium lists and
the largest amount Of money is set
against the horse that can make the best
'iiiS' anu HiitH but llillC vi bI1dl cOiIItS,
what class in the community are the
most excited, make the most suggestive
display of their pocket books, and do the
most swearing at the jockey that fails to
win?
Every set of men have their means of
diversion. We have no objections to
urge here against rat-pits, cock fighting,
the prizc-ring, gambling hells or any
thing Of the sort. But if men are to
have these sports, we ask that they may
be cyermore divorced from an institution
that is calculated to uplift society instead
OF dragging it down. If agricultural
fairs cannot be supported by the farmers,
the fruit growers and the stock breeders,
and the manufacturers of the county, let
them die. 1t is better they should than
to borrow their life blood from practice
entirely foreign to the minds Of their
founders"

With many farmers, this perhaps is the
most perplexing question. The season
for gathering fruits and vegetables, as
rule, is the best time to market them;
then will be the greatest quantity of them,
and their quality will at that time be the
best. Yet we hear farmers say that pO-
tatoes will be higher He hears of rot
in some sections, and he puts his potatoes
| in the cellar to wait higher prices. But
rot and sprout and rats and mice, and
labor and sorting, and in many instances
exposure to frost, lessen day by day the
quantity and quality of this product, and
he holds till Spring, and then the mar
ket is flooded with men who thought as
he did, and when ten per cent. Of loss he
finds himself compelled to take twenty
five per cent less in price or not sell ut
all Apples will be higher, another says,
and he holds his to meet decay and
trouble
Hops, too, are too cheap, and the grow
er piles up his bales to wait the moving
of the market, and thus we might say of
grains, butter, cheese, and of nearly all of
the products of the farm, hay perhaps eX-
cepted
The most successful farmer (as rule),
he who can show the best balance sheet
at the end of the year, markets his pro-
duct when it is ready for the market.
After having prepared your articles for
the market, as has been advised, take the
market price, and pocket the money
Your neighbor may in some instances,
sell for higher price by holding, but in
the experience of ten years, you will be
far ahead. Produce marketing is done
with, all waste, shrinkage, and care of it
ceases; and then again you have the use
of your money, and can apply it where
it will be of use. One more reason for
this time of marketing is, that dealers are
in the market, and have made their ar
engagements for buying.
1t is important to the farmer, in dis
posing of his produce, that he should
meet Il good demand. This he will be
most likely to find when the article is
yielded from his farm, and is ready for
the market. Dealers have then arranged
with banks for funds, and are anxious to
| invest. You will always meet poor
market when buyers have closed their
accounts and gone home. You will be
considered out OF season, and if you sell
at all it must be at sacrificing conccs-
sions III price.
Prepare your articles in the best man
ner for the market. Represent them
honestly and fairly in the market, and
then sell at the best price 1he market
offers. Let the motto be keep selling"
and your cash account will be largely in
your favor-Ohi0 Farmer.
