THE EXHIBITION given in the Court
House, on last Monday night, by SIa-
NOR SPRINGER, Ventriloquist, Magi-
clan, &C., was very good indeed
He proved himself master of many
difficult feats in lcgerdemain, and
displayed ventriloquial powers eqaul
to any that we have ever beard
On the whole, the exhibition was well
worth the price of admission, and far
more than worth it to one who had
never before beard q good NentrilO-
quist, and we presume there were
some such present. He very gener-
ously proposed to donate a portion OF
the evenings proceeds to the new
Lodge building; and as ne proposes
to give another entertainment in Ray
vile, on Thursday night, the Gath,
we would suggest that he be rendered
the use of the new Hall in which prep
arations are being made for Concert
by the ladies during Court week.
In addition to what he has already
exhibited, be promises to introduce
some new features in the programme
on the night of the Gath inst, which
will be Thursday night Of the FIRST

of the newspaper business, and if our

One very important lesson that We

ed for a paper, and the more he be-
comes indebted to it, the more Difficult,
he is to please, and the less interest

is naturally prone to regard it q.

Mixed Husbandry.

AT meeting of the Central New York
Farmers Club, held at Utica, the question
for discussion was, I" In mixed husband
ry, is it generally preferable to make one
crop specialize 1ra
The Utica Herald reports the following
remarks by t. D. Curtis
While, as general rule, think a sys-
tenn OF mixed farming and proper rotation
OF crops the safest for the farmer and best
for the farm, as it affords the best use and
economy of time and labor, aids in keep
ing up the fertility of the soil, and saves
the farmer from the evil influences OF ex-
cessive t1uctuation in prices, it seems to
me patent that few farms, if any. are
equally adapted to all branches of agricul-
ture. 1t is almost certain that portions of
them are better suited to some branches
than to others. While this difference in
different parts of the farm fits it for varied
purposes, and makes mixed farming a ne
cesslty IN thorough system, much the
largest portion of it is likely to be best
adapted to some one line of business. If
SO, then common sense dictates that this
line should be made a speciality.
On grain farm there should be less
need OF making single crop specially
than ON a dairy farm. While more corn,
wheat, or oats might be raised one year,
there might be good reasons why another
crop should have the preference the next
year. But on farm manifestly better for
grass than anything else, the choice
would necessarily be between darwin o
and stock raising, or a combination of the
TWO Andin a combination it would be
difficult not to give one orr the other the
preference and something of the character
of a specially
Ii stock raising were to be selected as a
specially, there would be choice between
fancy stock, beef, horses, and sheep. Nv
idea would be to make speciality of one
OF these, and to raise few of the other
kinds OF stock, for the purpose of using
up the different kinds of feed most eco
nomlcally, as we'll as to avoid the danger
OF being engaged wholly in line that
might be overdone. If I decided that
dairying was the speciality to which nv
farm was best adapted, [ should still aim
to raise few sheep, now and then colt
and have some beef and mutton. as we'll as
veal and pork to turn out.
| should also choose between cheese
making and butter making, and breed ac-
cordingly; certainly would not indiscrimi-
nately mix the milk of butter COWS and of
cheese COWS, and work it up into either
butter or cheese, as the fancy struck me
| would make a speciality of butter COWS
Tor butter making, and of cheese COWS for
cheese making. But if by freak, accident
or choice, should happen to possess a
mixed herd, / would keep their milk
separate, and make butter from the milk
OF the butter COWS instead of working it
into cheese, which would bring no more
IN the market than cheese made from the
milk OF ordinary COWS. | would make
cheese of milk Of the cheese COWS, instead
OF taking off the comparatively small
