The County Fair.

In our account last week we mentioned the
two gang plows on exhibition, one by
Messrs. Edmund; Smith of Red Wing and
J. V. H. Bailey Of Goodhue, and the other
by Geo. Parker of Red Wing. Mr.. Park
er's plow is all made and fitted at one shop,
each part being smade one for the other
and consequently making very complete
and well adjusted; whole. The plows are
evidently of the vsry best quality, and are
SO arranged as to adjust themselves so as to
lessen the side strain when turning,
Both Of the plows have lever within
reach Of the driver for throwing the plows
out.
The gearing wheels, revolving Golfers,
and drivers seat &c., are of course very sim
liar, in both plows. They both seemed to
do their work welt. The plow represented
by Messrs. Smith and Bailey was arranged
so as to attach apy common plow and in
this manner enable farmer to use the
plows that he has and to save the expense
of buying new onss. OF course to counter
balance this the other plow claims greater
perfection and completeness. The plows
were not put to tie test side by side for the
best plowing but were tried with view to
the general good ,qualities, and we do not
propose to undertake to decide between
them the judgesAwarded the Parker plow

1t is misfortune not only to the in.
dividuals, but also to the State, that one
man should enjoy all the hardships and
another all the luxuries. The laborer is
made morose and discontented, and the
man who reaps the reward Of the labor
er's toll becomes effeminate. indolent
and useless. The natural and the most
beneficial way fol all concerned, is that
the man who works should reap the re-
wards. There ate no doubt many cases
where a man ma better his condition
by change, and lhen it is his duty to
make such change. hetrouble is that
after laboring for few years and over
coming the most Of the difficulties, the
patience of the farmer suddenly gives

a change will better his condition, and
without considering what the possibili-

There is nothing more essential to

In every change there are new cir

brought constantly in contact with a

consequently meeting with failures and
