LARGE CHEESES.

North Chester correspondent says:-
The mammoth cheese constructed last
week consumed 7l55 pounds of milk, and
according to best computations will weigh
7l5 pounds when cured. We claim the largest
cheese in the known world. Our cheese fac
tory has proved a success from the start,
over 200 cheese. averaging 35 pounds each,
having been already manufactured, though
the building was not completed till quite late
in the season."
A cheese weighing 7l5 pounds is big one,
but New York rather takes it down. A
mammoth cheese. weighing 5000 pounds.
from one days milking of 22OO COWS, yielding
3O,4 4O5 gallons, manufactured in Erie County,
N. Y, has been deposited for exhibition in
the international industrial exhibition at
Buffalo. Chester must try, try again.

the latter they should be put into venti-
lated barrels, which may be made by cutting
with sharp hatchet few holes about two
inches square between the wider slaves. In
filling the barrels they should be partially
filled while lying on their sides, SO us to
bruise the bulbs us little as possible. If they
are to be stored the best place is shed or
barn floor, the aim being to keep them dry
and at n low uniform temperature. They
should not be spread or piled deeper than
about eighteen inches OF two feet, as they
are liable to heat and sprout. Ifany signs of
sprouting should appear, the lot should be
raked over, and any damp or sprouted onions
removed to II still dryer place. The onions
can remain in the barn or shed through the
winter, care being taken to keep them per-
fectly dry and just before freezing to remove
any damp, decayed or sprouting ones. On
the approach of cold weather they should be
covered with two or three feet of straw, and
we should carefully avoid moving or Earring
them in the least while frozen, us even the
jar of slamming door will induce decay in
many that would otherwise keep perfectly
well.-COr. Prdirie Farmer.

A WORD ABOUT FAIRS.

September is emphatically the month of
fairs. Fair time is II season that every farm
er should look forward 10 with pleasure. 1t
is the holiday season in the farmers year;
and it should be enjoyed not only by the
farmer himself, but by his hired men, his
children and most of all by his weary wife.
We like the idea Of shutting up house, and,all
going to fair. Whatever objections there
may be to patronizng most of the perambu-
lating shows that frequent the country, none
should exist to patronizing the local fair 1t
is an exhibition of the products of the county
OF neighborhood, i'm illustration of the in
dustly and progress of the year. 1t is IN oc-
casion when the farmers worth to the COM
munity is best appreciated; ut fair time, if at
no other, the farmer can regard himself us
the equal of other men.
Grave objections have been urged against
the manner in which most of our fairs are
conducted. Complaints are made that agri
cultural societies do very little for the cause
of agriculture, and that agricultural fairs are
exhibitions of almost everything except the
productions of the soil; or, ut least, that
farm products cut but a small figure in these
annual gatherings. Complaints are also
made that large sums are often paid to GYM
nasts, aeronauts, and other performers; and
that Objectionable private shows are admit
ted on the exhibition grounds.
In too many cases we must confess that
these objections are legitimate. We have al
ways considered it our duty to denounce these
things so foreign to the original and true
idea of an agricultural fair, or n holiday for
the agricultural population. Our position is
so well known upon this question that it is
not necessary here to state it ut any length.
We believe that these gatherings are for the
rural people-for the furtherng of their in
terests, and to contribute to their enjoyment,
If fairs cannot be supported without these
outside attractions, with their attendant inn
moral influences, then the cause of agricul-
ture can best be subserved without them.
Side shows, outside or inside IL fair ground,
are nuisance and snare. They belong to
the circus and the menagerie, if they belong
anywhere. If they are to be tolcratedat all, for
the purpose of getting money into the treasu-
ry, and we believe this is the only argumen

ever urged in their favor, then let them have
some remote corner, fur from the instructive
part of the exhibition, instead of permitting
their proprietors tn spread their tents on the
most available part of the inclosure OF to
make every day hdcous with calls for pat
ronage.
Perhaps the gravest objection that can be
urged against the management of fairs is that
things are not done in deccncy and in order
If I'm address is delivered it is not unusual
that the voice of the speaker is drowned by
the ringing of bells that call people to eat
cold potatoes, tough beef, and dried apple
pies or by the vocifcrous screeching of
some showmen, who announces that Prof
Dare Devil is about to enter the den of per-
forming serpents; or that the highly moral
exhibition of highly trained monkeys is
ready to take place Loafers and jockeys
often blockade the entrance to the stalls
where the finest horses are secured; and Of
ten the walks that lead past the pens of other
animals are in so filthy condition that wo-
men and children find it almost impossible
to visit the various departments of animals.
As one of the principal objects Of fairs is to
afford the means of gaining iuformat,6n,'it it
seems important that conspicuous signs be
placed over the pens OF stalls where animals
of different breeds are confined, that the un-
initiated may know where to look for every
class of animals. Not every farmers boy,
and comparatively few grown persons engag-
ed in other pursuits than farming, know the
characteristic differences between the differ
ent breeds of cattle, horses, swine, sheep and
poultry, and it is important that the best OPP
portunitcs be afforded all such to gain the
desired information. A living specimen of n
Shorthorn, Devon or Jersey is worth all the
cuts ever published to illustrate the pcculiari-
ties of each peculiar breed. 1t would also be
desirable that conspicuous names be attached
to every kind of fruit on exhibition, that nov
ices may learn ut glance how to distinguish
them. Persons who are familiar with all
these things are apt to forget that many who
visit fairs are not able to tell II merino sheep
from a Cotswold. and do not know the differ
ence between Concord and II Black Ham
burg grape. There is difference of opinion
regarding the propriety of placing the name
of exhibitors in connection with their articles
but it is our belief that it is II good practice

HARVESTING ONIONS.

First we suppose that the soil is II sandy
loan, well drained, and that the seed was
planted in accurate rows from II to lS inches
apart. The onions should be gathered when
the majority of the tops have lost their green
color, but before they have become dry, then
on a bright, sunny day, when the earth is
perfectly dry, we commence our pulling.
Our rows running north and south we COM
mence mt the northeast corner. Getting up
on our knees between IKE first and second
rows, we pull those of the second row that
are within easy reach and lay them with

The Vermont State Fair which was held
ut st. ,Johnsbury this week does not appear
to have been I'm improvement over those
previously held in that State. The death of
Henry Keyes, Judge Colburn and Edwin
Hammond, the men who gave the society
life, is having an effect upon the prosperity
of the society. In looking over the reports
for the Boston daily papers of this and other
fairs that have been held, we are struck with
the incompetency of the men who are sent
out to make the reports. They seem to know
more about ward caucuses and horse trots
than they know about agriculture. In fact
they have about us much fitness for the busi-
ness us Judas had for heaven.-Honestead.
Vermont farmer. [volume] (Newport, Orleans County, Vt.) 1870-1877, 1871-09-30

their tops towards the east, and the bulbs n
little west of the second row. We next pull
those from the third and fourth rows, laying
them with those of the second with the tops
to the east; the first row is then pulled,
turned and laid in the same way, thus leav-
ing behind us straight windrow, with the
tops lying in the same direction; then COM
mencing Mt the south end between the sew
enth and eighth rows, we pull the seventh
row and lay them with their tops to the
west we now pull the sixth, fifth and eighth
rows in the same way we did the third,
fourth and first, thus forming II second wind
row with the bulbs towards those of the first.
The reasons for pulling them in this order
are, that we can top the onions much more
economically if they are laid with their tops
in the same direction in the wndrow, and
the windrows are placed in pairs, the bulbs
towards each other. And think that in no
other way can we secure this arrangement
so easily rs by the plan suggested; two rows
of each four being simply pulled into posi-
ton without turning the third row receives
all the turning needed by the motion of pull
ing, while only one row has to be carried in
front of the body and turned bya separate
motion.
The onions are left in the windrow foi
from two to eight days, or until the tops arc
thoroughly dried.
In the meantime the broad space between
the windrows should be hoed and the weeds
rakcd off, thus removing great many seeds
which if left would make trouble the neXt
year. When the tops are thoroughly dry
they should be cut off. For this purpose we
provide ourselves with large pruning knife
and II pair of sheep or of common shears ant
commencing mt the south end of the frs
windrow we cut off the tops about three
fourths of an inch from the bulbs, tossing oi
rolling the bulbs to the centre of the spac,
between this and the next windrow. TIL,
second wndrow is then topped in the sam,
way, the bulbs forming, with those from tn,
first II double windrow. While topping. the
advantages of having tie onions placed il
the way suggested will be evident, rs eacl
onion can be scrapcd with the left hand
topped with knife or shears in the right, an,
thrown into the new windrow without an.
turning or loss of motion, the action becom
ing almost automatic.
While doing this, the onions can be easil.
assorted, the finer ones being thrown fully t.
the center, while the smaller are kept nea
the outside of the windrow, and any green o
imperfect ones are left with the tops.
while in windrows the onions are expose,
/ to II shower, or long continued damp wealth
er, they should not be disturbed until afte
the ground becomes dry, when if any signs O
sprouting or second growth appear, the
should be stirred with IL common hay rake
The onions should be left in the double wind
rows for from four to twelve days, or unit
they are thoroughly cured, which will be in
dicated by the outer skin taking off, leavin
bright hard surface beneath. AS soon II
cured they should be marketed OF stored,
