this change the admission price was
raised to thirty Ave cents for adults,
and hfseen cents for children. This.
We think. will prove for the better.
The proper theory il IL throw open an
agri cultural fair for the free exhibition
Of all articles and stuck. In this way
We are sure Of . much greater display
and better competition Is many are
deferred from bringing deserving OH

LEnd Plaster.

The commonly received idea of the
value of Land Plaster in commercial
manures, is that it is only serviceable
as an absorbent of the volatile ele
meuts, an ammonia. which it will
hold in the soil for the use of the
growing crops. Also it is an absorb,
ent of moisture, and the use of it,
like salt in this respect) may miti-
igate the effects of drought upon the
soil.
It's effects, however, when applied
alone to corn, have several times at
tracted our attention. Whether ap-
piled at the root, or thimbleful drop
ped into the bud of the grown corn, the
effect is great in maintaining vigor-
Gus growth and rich green color.
Here is What correspondent Of the
RuraI Nelc Yorker says of his experi>
ence in the use of plaster on corn:
The past season l used plaster
alone on one piece of corn, skipping
two rows each side Of the upholstered.
This was triangular-shaped field of
one acre and one. fourth. The corn
on the two not plastered weighed 1873
pounds; shortest rows plastered, 224
pounds; longest rows pIastersd, pa
pounds; or about 100 pounds of corn
by using plaster to 70 pounds where
not used. There were $50 bushels Of
corn on this piece"
