Object Of Agricultural Fairs.

Col. W. r. Taylor, president of the Dane
County (Wis.) Agricultural Society con-
cludes his address at the opening of the
late fair of that society as follows:
The primary object of fairs is not mere
ly to award premiums The great central
idea of agricultural, mechanical, horticul-
tural and household exhibitions, aside from
social and moral development, is that
by bringing to one place, occasionally, ami
mails and articles Of superior excellence as
models, so that they may be conveniently
seen and studied, every one may have an
opportunity of becoming acquainted with
the appearance at least of whatever is best
and most proftable--the horse Of the most
just proportions either for work or speed
the COW that tells best, either as breeder,
mixer, or butter maker; the hog that seems
to be most economical in producing the
greatest return for given amount of care
and food; the sheep best adapted to far
mer's circumstances, either for wool, the
market, or for both, and so in general terms
through the entire range of manufactured
products.

Ornament Your Grounds.

DIR. ]. NJ. Gregory, Regent of the Hi
nois Industrial University in an address
on Ornamental and Landscape Gardening
which we find in the Transactions of the
State Horticultural Society, says with much
force: at is not necessary before this
society to make any defense of the practi-
cal value Of the ornamentation Of grounds
The argument with reasonable people is
short and conclusive. Beauty gives pleas.
ure; beauty stimulates to higher actiy tiles;
beauty sells in the market, and adds value
to whatever it attaches; beauty makes the
soul purer, the life sweeter, the hand stron-
ger, the world itself brighter, more blessed
These are its effects, or at least its tenden-
cies, ia whatever it exhibits itself, whether
in the shape of statue, the color Of a
picture, the contour Of a thoroughbred OF
a shorthorn, or in the adornment Of door
yard. Beauty is practical 1t guides the
hand of the mechanic as he shapes the
product Of his art. 1t directs the hort.
culturist in his efforts to improve and per
feet his trees, flowers, and fruits. 1t is
one Of those great forces whose inccssant
efforts have shaped the civilization of the
world, and lifted man so far above his
rough brothers-the brutes-that even
Darwin has failed to prove, with anything
like conclusive cleamess, any blood rela-
tionship between them

Sheep on Low Ground.

1t is generally believed by farmers,
writes correspondent, that low, wet land
is very unfavorable for sheep. Ihave kept
a flock for four years in pasture of this
description-for the first two years with
unfavorable results. My sheep were un-
healthy and many Of them died. Iaseribe
it to the wetness of my pasture. Upon
the recommendation of an old farmer ]
gave the sheep charcoal mixed with salt
The beneficial effect of this mixture was
soon apparent. My sheep presented 4
more healthful appearance have con
tinued the treatment and the animals have
continued to thrive. suppose the medi
cal qualities Of this mixture consist in tn.
disinfecting property Of the charcoal, and
in the invaluable tonic and Alternative pro
pcrties Of the salt, we may add; for like
many other remedial agents, this article
when given in small doses, augments the
digestive functions. In larger doses 1t il

Potash for Peach Orchards.

According to the statement of Mr..
Shepard at meeting of the Cincinnati
Horticultural Society, potash is cheap and
an excellent manure for peach trees. A
barrel, costing s35, lasted him four years
for an orchard of % acres, He dissolved
the potash in water, making it ola strength
just insufficient to feat potato, and then
gave each tree two quarts of this liquid
every spring. From 1000 peach trees
treated thus he sold 800 bushels in 1867,
$50 do. in 1868, and 'last year" (IsT1
we suppose 1900 bushels, and prospects
still good for satisfactory crops in the flu
turc. He claims to have sold s12, 1000
worth of peaches from this orchard in five
years. This would be an average of 81, 20
per tree for each year; good yield GER
tainly. Ifpotash in such small quantities
will produce such an effect, il must soon
come into general use.-Couat,y Gentle

Castor Beans.


Ii seems certain that castor beans viii
kill horses and cattle. Withina year OF
two il has been stated in the Farmer'
Club ofNew York City that if placed in
the paths Of moles or in the holes Of
gophers they would exterminate these
animals. Now it is recorded that span
Of horses in Nebraska died within twenty
four hours after eating half handful Of
castor beans divided between them. Com
menting on this fact the Prairie Farmer
ys:--HThat castor beans injure stock is
certain, and that death has resulted from
eating them seems also sure. Among the
earlier acts passed by the Legislature Of
this State, was one attaching severe penal
ties to persons who left castor beans in
exposed situations or who left fields Of
them exposed 50 that cattle could enter. "
Our readers who grow these beans should,
therefore, be careful how they expose them
10 stock.

Renovation of Wornout Soils.

The renovation Of our wornout and tired
lands is matter of no little Importance to
farmers in this section of country. We
all have lands, not worn out, but tired down
by continual cropping, and we also have
lands that may be said to be worn out since
they are no longer productive. We now
want the best and cheapest plan of removal
ting these lands, so as to grow remunera-
tive crops To do this we must have our
lands charged with good supply of yege-
table matter to make the land lively and
productive. This can only be obtained by
the turning under of green crops, and
afterward judicious rotation of crops, in
doing this we can only cultivate what lands
we can manure well. or such as have not
been exhausted. So long as we cultivate
broad acres Of poor land, we shall have
such to cultivate and none other. Let us
take the worn lands in the fall; break thor
oughly and subsoil; in the spring pillow
again and sow to peas about the first of
June and harrow them in. Turn under
the peas in September and SOW to rye, and
pasture through the winter with sheep; the
second spring turn under rye, at proper
time and again sow to peas these in turn
to be plowed in September; then in 0cto-
Der by sowing wheat and narrowing in
clover seed in the spring, you are ready
for judicious system of rotation Of crops;
lime should be used where green crops are
turned under.

The Farmers Club.


There Is much that the farmer wants
much that he should have. But here i
the difficulty. We have nobody to stat,
our wants with any authority
Our first need is to secure some mean
Of cooperation so that our scattered forces
may be concentrated. Merge the individ
ual into the organization and then our de,
mands win have weight ard character, and
viii receive their due attention.
The starting point is with the " Farmers
Club. Let us organize these in every
district, 50 that every citizen farmer may
be accessible to one or more Of them.
When these are in working order, and
here, we suggest, let them be royl;iiag
clubs, then they become at once anxiliaries
to the county societies, and to the Agri-
cultural Congress, each in its turn; and
through these they may hope to obtain any
legislation they may need from
he State or National Governments.

dertaken, should be TO devise method to

Capt. D. H. Cockrill said-f fifty or

chimes, it would engender spirit Of en-
terprise among our people that would
build up our section as rapidly as any on'
desires. One trouble is that we send away
from home all our money as fast as We dig
| it out of the ground. We should there
| fore encourage every enterprise that vii
tend to keep our money at home.
Col Baylor said-The greatest troubl'
with farmers was the scarcity and conse
quent uncertainty of labor that when
farmer put in crop he had no securit.
that he would be able to hire hands to har
: vest it. Now, if this Society can devils
way to regulate the labor of the county
: it would confer lasting benefit upon al
classes Of our people, and he intended, a
the proper time, to move special com
mittee to investigate this subject.

plan that will increase the working part Q

Comparative Value Of Different Cluanoa,


As the deposit Of guano upon the Chin
cha Islands Is nearly exhausted, the I'M
portance Of other nitrogenous fertilizers
now in the market has greatly increased,
A number Of prominent German chemists
have analysed several of these, and we give
in the following summary some of the
results obtained by them. Guanape gaano
is found in the rainless region Of Western
South America, along the coast Of Peru.
Its composition is very variable, but it is
recommended as ct material for the
manufacture Of superphosphates to secure
a more uniform acticn. SdldaRha Bay
g,u,ao, from the Western coast Of Africa,
contains more than p per cent. Of insolu-
Bile mineral ingredients. Whale gudio,
from Norway, contains $40 per cent. of
nitrogen and l7.6 of phOsphoric acid, and
is very rapid fertilizer. The gelatinous
matter, containing over 8 per cent. Of
nitrogen and 3 per cent. of phosphoric
acid, is also sold for the same purpose.
The production of the Norwegian fsL
gadao, mainly from the offal of Goldfish at
the Lofoden Island, is constantly increas-
ing, Madden and ,Star6uek guaao, both
from the group of Phoenix Islands, in the
Pacific, and the Mgillones guono, from
Mejillones Bay, on the boundary of Bolivia
and Chill, as also the Baker gUdno, and
perhaps the SonJrero and other West
Indian guano, are varieties which have lost
nearly all their nitrogen by the influence
of rain, butare extremely rich in phosphoriC
acid, and thus especially adapted for the
manufa ,ture of highly concentrated super
phosphates. In one sample of Melillone'
guano there were found one per cent o.
; nitrogen and seventy-fvc per cent phos
phoric acid Maiden gudao contains {
considerable quantity ofalkaline carbonates
The La Plata, or Cdrno guano, is mad

). In Austria fertilizer has lately beer
: introduced by the name of Artifcidi Guam
Of .Stummer, which has found much favo
with the agriculturists. 1t is manufac
tured from human excrements, in fou
notifications, SO as to best supply tn
different wants of different crups-as grass
grain, potatoes, &c. In Italy the dung o
fowls is highly valued, and an article o
commerce. Dealers mix it with feathers
by which the amount of nitrogen is great
increased. In most countries it is not t
be had in sufficient quantities for tn
: trade, but it is well worth collecting whel
there is an opportunity. The escape o
ammonia can be prevented by the applica
ton of an occasional sprinkling of sulphat
Of iron.
