FISH CULTURE.

We desire to call the attention Of our
readers to the article, Fish Ponds for Far
mers," on the first page. No more delicious
article Of food can be had than fresh fish,
and there are thousands of farms all around
US where this luxury might become an arti-
Gle Of common use among the farmers Of
Vermont, many of whom never see fresh
fish from one years end to another. The
cost would be almost nothing and the addi-
ton to the years food would much more
than repay it, while the additional enjoy
ment would be clear gain. II farmers would
pay more attention to these little means of
making home happy for all the family and
farm life attraction to their sons, fewer of
the latter would leave for the cities or the
Western praries as soon as they attain their
majority.
The boys on many farm, were permits.

The Poland party are getting frightened.
They see the judges prospects daily growing
small by degrees and beautifully less, and
every device Of scheming men will be used
to carry the caucuses and the convention.
They are desperately resolved that whether
Poland gets the nomination or not Mead
shall not, aud so they are prepared with
several other candidates, none of them fann-
ers, and If the popular feeling is too much
for Luke p. they will present one of these,
nominally as opposing Poland, but really for
the sake Of retaining the reins Of govern
ment in this district in tho hands Of the Po-
land ring Let every farmer, and every
wOrkingman, and every one who wishes to
see the interests of the working classes as
well represented as those Of capitalists and
corporations, be on his guard. Keep your
eyes open, and allow Zone Of the little, sour.
Wy tries so commonly employed TO deprive
you of your rights. The ring have their
men secured, their expenses paid, and every
thing prepared to rally in full force at the
caucuses. Let the farmers Of the district
remember this and come out to these meet
ings to man, aud cast their votes for del
egates who cannot be bought nor influenced
to betray their interests to little ring Of
lawyers. Remember, the 9Th of August, at

REMARKS.
Cattle. There was "A fair cattle trade for
Northern grass-fcd young stock; with an
Increase in the supply next week there will
probably be quite little bunch on sale, and
butchers are beginning to look for fair stock
from this section. $40 head of We tern steers
received from Chicago, that made close
run, coming through rs quick on the Grand
Trunk and Vermont Central us over tho
Western road; started from Chicago last
Thursday afternoon and arrived this morn
ing; made three stops for food and rest on
the way and will shrink light. Prices to-
day are not much different from last week.

HOUSEKEEPING At FAIRS.

The West is ahead Of tho East in its views
upon this important question. The legisla-
ture of Kansas last winter passed law de-
claring that no agricultural organization Of
that State shall appropriate any part Of the
earnings Of the society for tests OF speed,
hut IL such tests shall be permitted, the pre-
miums therefor shall be raised by voluntary
contribution, and that any person or persons
violating these provisions shall be liable tor
the amount OF money 80 inappropriate
ed, and imprisoned IN the equity Jail not more
than one year. The State Board Of Agricul-
ture has taken this enactment rs embOdying
tho public sentiment OF the state, and ac-
cordingly has refused to accept of racing
premiums. Isn't 1t about time now that we
Of the Fast should learn what true agricul-
tural civilization Is? The legislature OF
Now York might well enact such a law rs

We have called attention to this subject
of agricultural horse. trots," once or twice,
and we can heartily endorse the doctrine oil
the Rural Home. We Of the East have
waited until Western states aud societies are
setting US the example Of reform in this
manifsstly unjust practice. In California
the Patrons of Husbandry have declared
war upon the fraud and carried their Opposi-
ton into the legislature, while Kansas, &C.
cording to the above, has taken the neces-
sary steps for reform.
The plea that races are necessary to draw
patronage to a fair is about as good as the
one that an open bar is necessary to hotel
for the same reason. Our theory is that il
the hotel has not custom enough to support
it without the sale of liquor it has no call to
exist, and the same Of fair which cannot
be success without horse.race. When a
fair is gotten up nominally for the imprOv-
ment OF the systems of agriculture, stock
breeding, and manufactures in locality, il
is as much fraud for ring Of jockeys to

funds on horse-raee, us it was for Cakes

Lest some Of our readers may suppose
that it is because we have a grudge against
st. JOhnsbury merchants, that we 60 for
lower prices here, we wish to say most sm-
phatically that that is not the case. We
believe them to be honorable and square as
the world goes. And the meat men who

because they do not advertise, for tho adj
vertisements Of two Of those firms may be
found in this paper where they have been
most Of the time for the past two years.
w it'll one or two exceptions We have found
the merchants here to be gentlemen, for
whom we entertain the highest regard. 1t
is not against them as individuals or their
character that we cry out, but against the
force Of circumstances that compel them To
charge more than they ought to for goods,
and those circumstances are their large mum
bers and the credit system. 1t is matter
Of principle with us, and nOt.of retaliation,
for we have nothing to retaliato for except
the extra profit we have to pay them which
amounts to but very little in our case. This

: OBSERVERS" NEXT FRIEND ,
SPEAKS.

We don't know how much IL costs the
smart Railroad Street merchant to use the
columns Of the Citizen, but the " leader in
that sheet this week manifests about as
much judgment as il will do 10 have.--on
that side The article in question informs
us that where there is great competition the
goods are the cheapest. Suppose, then, we
have as many stores as there are customers,
oil prospering that is, let each farmer or
mechanic pay the rent Of store, interest
on the necessary capital, salary Of mer-
chant, and the other expenses Of running a
country store, in order to secure the benefits
Of competition. That is about what COM
petition amounts 10 in St. Johnsbury. In
regard TO prices, the merchants combine, and
fix their rates high enough to afford them
all living aud profit. The only difference
in the effect upon community between this
system and the one suggested by the writer
Of the article in the Citizen Of one man
doing all the business, is the fact that now
they are driven by necessity to keep their
prices high enough to afford support for fifty
merchants, and rent on City stores, whereas
under the one-man system only one would
need to be supported.
or course those papers which rely upon
the advertisements of the merchants for
their support will take up with that class in
their oppression Of the people, but the Wa

alists, and the people appreciate our honest
efforts TO give them the truth, whether it be
in favor of friend or foe. If there is no
other paper in Vermont that dares to pursue
this course, there is all the more need that
the FARMER should keep its readers posted,
so far as it is able, on the manner in which
merchants grow rich and farmers grow poor.

Poland's Greatness.
NorM6eld, dug. l.


Poland's friends seem to delight TO flaunt
his name before tho public. associated with
such namos rs Solomon Foote. Jacob Cola
mer, Charles Sumner, Henry Clay, and Dan
iol Webster.
The thing is soSupremely ridiculous that 1t
requires no argument to show its absurdity.
Let the "her0 worshippers" Of l.. p. Poland
state whereiS his greatness consists. Let
them mention anything that he has ever
achieved to merit such high association.
"Deeds, worthy deeds DONE" are the evil
denco of greatness. II is conceded that he
is an astute lawyer, and that is all. He is
not close logical reasoner, like Collamor,
nor fine classical scholar, like Sumner,
nor m accomplished orator, like Clay, nor
an eminent statesman, like Webster. lilo is
not star Of the same magnitude, and is not
to be spoken OF in such connection.
lie has never delivered Nm address nor
written n speech, during the eight years no
has been in Congress. that was worth pre-
serving, or that showed any proof OF such
great ability as his ardent friends are claim
ing for him. If u man is great, the world
will find 1t out. Why should the friends
Of Poland beliaie him by placing him in such
company VERITAs.

Send to Congress a Practical Farmer.

Editor of the Vermont Farmer =
A farmer who resides outside Of your con-
gressional district would like, through your
columns, TO say to his brethren of the pillow
who reside therein n few words in behalf of
sending Col. Mead to Congress. No doubt
1t would be something Of NEW departure"
in political matters for the sovereign peo-
Pile" to send practical farmer to represent
them nj Washington.
But recent events have shown, most con-
clusively, that it is high time that some new
departures were taken in the matter Of Sc
Letting men for public stations.
Tho old, timeworn ways have become so
deeply rutted by the ever flowing streams
of vileness and corruption rs to make them
very unsafe and even dangerous. Vermont
is emphniically an agricultural state.
More of her citizens are engaged in tilling
the soil than in any other occupation. Most
clearly, then, would it seem that this numer-
Gus and Indispensable class should have at
least one representative in Congress. But
perhaps doubts would arise, in tho minds Of
somc whether man could be found among
her laboring population who would be suit
able person for so high an office.
But Col. Mead has talents of no mean or
der. lie could fill the Speakers chair and
do honor and credit TO himself and to Yer
mont. Is this claiming for him too muchP
Only furnish the opportunity, and We feel
quite sure that Col. Mead's actions will sub
stantIate the claim.
The war record Of Col. Mead is one of
which neither himself or any son Of Yer
mon, need be ashamed. His character rs u
private citizen is unimpeachable.
Send enough such men rs Col. Mead TO
Congress. and the character Of that body
would be soon changed for the better. 1t Is
the want Of such men-men firm and I'M
flinching IN their integrity and uprighiness--
which has given to Congress the reproachiul
odium which it justly bears. We in the first
district are fortunate in having represent
alive whose congressional record, throu gh-
out, has been such rs to render his nomina-
ton and reelection assured facts. Yes, the
freemen of Mr.. Wizards district are so well
suited with his course in Congress that they
will vote him to stay there for the present.
Freomen of tho first and second congress
siOnal districts in Vermont have n care, and
see vho acts for yOU on Tie i2h Of AEguSt.
