Work upon the air grounds is being push
ed forward rapidly by the contractor, and the
same is being done in a thorough manner, and
to the complete acceptance of the trustees
The cattle stalls are all completed also the
pens for sheep and swine and the poultry ac-
commodations. The closed stalls for the hor-
SEES are now being built. The ticket Offices
one at the entrance to the grounds near State
street, and one on the east side of the track
to accommodate passengers from the trains
have been built, also the secretary's Office
The seats for spectators, opposite the Judges
stand are also in process of completion, and
the entire work on the ground' will be finish
ed by the time specified in the contract, Sep
TENDER 18th. The lumber used is of better
quality than that used at Portland for the State
Fair in 1868, or the New England Fair of last
year, it being all sound spruce lumber. The
work also is dooe in a most thorough manner;
the stalls for cattle being by feet, all COW
cred with tight roof and well boarded up GA
the sides, the roof projecting in the rear Of
the stalls eighteen inches or two feet beyond
the sides of the stalls. Three hundred cattle
stalls have been erected, many Of which arc
large enough to contain two animals. Two
hundred horse stalls are to be built, each 10
by feet, with tight roof, plank floors and
doors. As an evidence of the way in which
the work has been pushed, we merely mention
that on Tuesday last Mr.. Pereivals force of
seven men built and completed fifty cattle
oil hoi n
man. We call that good days work. On
Monday several gent!epen from Portland,
officers of the society and those who assisted
in the management of the State and New Eng
land Fairs of 1868 and 1863, among them
Hon. WIN. E. Morris, J. +. Lcavitt, Esq, and
r. H. Hooper, Esq, Assistant Superintendent
of halls at n Z. Fair, visited the grounds and
expressed themselves as highly pleased with
their situation, and as entirely satisfied with
the fixtures.
The work of putting the State House in or
der for the exhibition has been commenced
under the direction of Hon. Samuel WATSON.
An assignment of rooms for the different de-
partments of the Fair has been made, and the
whole will be arranged with clock like regu-
larity. Carpenters are busy in putting up the
temporary partitions and other fixtures, and
by the middle of the coming week the rooms
will be ia readiness to receive goods.
The entries for all departments of the ex-
hibition are coming in rapidly. Already the
most celebrated herds in the State Of all the
distinct breeds have been entered and addi-
tons in all classes of stock are being made
daily. OF horses, there are already nearly
or quite one hundred entries, specimens of the
Knox breed predominating. Altogether, the
entries thus far, are fully up to- if not ahead
of what they were at Portland two years ago,
two weeks in advance of the Fair.

One of our old citizens whose death we have

One of our old citizens whose death we have
recently recorded, forty years ago kept a
"corner store" opposite the old toll house,
on the cast side OF the river. OF course ''thc
critter" was kept for the spiritual consolation
and refreshment of the thirsty customers who
were in the habit of coming together at the
store for the purpose of talking over matters
and things, discussing politics, and buying
their groceries. All at once the proprietor
of the store became temperance man in SEN
timent, as he had long been one in practice.
II occurred to him suddenly that rumselling
was a nefarious business, and one day he
rolled his casks into the street, smashed in
the heads, and rum flowed freely as water.
He took that method of "closing ont" his
stock, and never sold any more liquor.

Remedy for Cut Worms and wire
Worms.

Remedy for Cut Worms and Wire
Worms.
A correspondent of the Practical Far
n1er gives the following remedy for wire
worms in corn:
''Conversing with an old farmer a few
years ago on this subject, he told me that
he was in the habit of soaking his seed
corn in strong brine-meat pickle would
answer-and that corn thus treated was
never injured by worms. | think he said
he soaked his seed in the pickle about "a
hours. / expressed some apprehension
that sleeping corn in brine would injure
the terminating principle, but he assured
me that such was not the case, as it all
came up well He said he once farmed a
place to the shares, and intended pursuing
this plan with his seed corn, but his land
lord objected, thinking it would ruin the
seed; he, however, after much persua-
ton consented that a portion of it should
be thus treated, and the result was, the
corn from the picked seed came up well
and grew on undisturbed by worms, while
that from the dry seed was almost totally
destroyed by them.
81 remember of hearing my father tell
once of some peach trees he once had in
his yard which were badly injured by the
borer. In order to destroy the worms he
poured quantity of fish pickle about the
roots. The trees bore plentiful crop of
peaches, but the fruit was so salty as to
be unfit for use. 1t would appear from
this that the saline particles were taken
up in the circulation of the tree, and thus
disseminated to the fruit; and this may
account for the efficacy of the sailing pro-
cess in the case of seed corn, the saline
matter being taken into the plsut and
thus preventing the ravages of worms"

Acorrespondent of the Country Gentle
man gives his experience in melon culture
as follows:
81 plant the seed in an old tin pan or
box, about the first of May. and keep
them in warm place on the southeast
side of the house, and when they are
nicely up, transplant them where have
designed they should grow. Before put
them out remove the soil II or Is inches
deep and two feet wide, and then i'll the
hole thus made with thoroughly pulverized
manure and the soil, mixed in equal parts;
and the hills should be or feet apart
each way. put in three plants to Hill.
If it is dry, cover them up for day or
two. l have had 70 trouble in making
them live; they bear transplanting as well
as cabbage, have raised as nice melons
in this way as | could wish for. Last
spiiug, thought that jf / prepared the
ground as above stated, aud planted the
seed in the hill; would get a good crop.
Iplanted them in the hill; they came up
well, but did not seem to grow, and in a
short time had not single plant left. l
had some plants in a pan, and set them
out in the same bill, (oDly six hills) and
had twenty-six large melons
Melons require a rich soil, either new
ground, which has 8 large amount of leaf
mold in it, or ground which has been well
manfred with well roltod baIn yard or
stable maurre.

Strawberry Culture.

Every one who has garden should
grow few Strawberries. 1t is a veg
simple matter to grow a moderate crop;
but to produce it in abundance and of the
best quality requires considerable skill and
constant care.
The best and largest crop of strawher-
ries that have ever raised was produced
in the following manner: A bed, % feet
wide and 200 feet long, was prepared by
spreading upon it II carloads of old,
well-rotted COW manure; the ground was
then plowed deep aud narrowed down
smooth and level About the middle of
April the plants were set out in rows, two
feet apart, with space of IS inches be-
tween them.
No weeds were allowed to grow among
the plants, and the SUI face of the soil was
stirred at least once week during the en-
tire summer. Two or three runners were
allowed 10 grow from each plant, and
these were placed so that they would
take root between the old plants in the
rows.
In the autumn, when the ground be-
gan to freeze quite hard at night, the en-
tire bed and plants were covered with
coarse grass to the depth of two inches,
after it had partislly settled. To prevent
the mulchings being blown off, few
poles were laid around the outer edge of
the bed. In the spring, after the severe
cold weather was past, a man passed
along each row, and with a stick parted
the mulching just over the centre of each
row of plants, so as TO allow the air and
light to reach the crowns aud permit the
1 all
out hindrance. None of the mulching
was removed from the beds; consequent
ly the soil was kept moist and the fruit
clean. This bed yielded a little over u
bushels of fruit the second season after
planting, which was the first crop; otter
the fruit was gathered, all the mulching
was removed, and the soil between tue
rows was forked over, but no more ma
nure of any kind applied. The runners
were not allowed 10 grow or take root eX-
cept in places where there was vacant
space in the rows and the next fall the
mulching was applied the same as before.
This treatment was continued for four
years, and then the plants were plowed
under.
have tiled many different systems of
culture for the strawberry, but none that
has given so much satisfaction as this one,
and, although it may be too expensiyefor
extended culture, yet for the amateur who
does not grow more than half acre or
an acre, and desires to produce the largest
amount possible on gwen space, | can
confidently recommend the above as be-
ing system that will not only give an
abundant crop, but the greatest amount OF
profit. Many of the more delicate hut
large foreign varieties viii succeed hrl
treated in this mapuer, although they of
ten fail when grown without mulching OF
winter protection.-Hedtth and Home.

) Iron Around Pcach Trees.

AT recent meeting of the American
Institute Farmers Club, Mr. Wagner, who
lives on Long Island, about 80 miles east
OF New York, exhibited some pruning
from his orchard to illustrate the effect
of putting iron around trees. He took
an old place with 20 trees in theorchard,
full of dead limbs, with yellow leaves,
and the crotches oozing thick gum. He
gave the earth good top-dressing of iron,
breaking up old plows and stoves and
scattering the fragments. The effect has
been marvellous. The trees have renewed
their youth, and now look strong and
thrifty. The bark is tight and the leaves
all green, and the borer has disappeared.
He thinks the Stag of iron-furnaces,
ground up and spread on orchards, would
prove very valuable fertilizer for fruit
trees of all kinds.
