riculture and the mechanical arts
1t may well be said that the entir,
prosperity rs State, as people
depends upon the success Of oul
farmers and mechanics. Whel
farming and manufacturing inter
ests are thriving, all are, general,
speaking prosperous. If on the
other hand, our farmers are un'
successful in their endeavOrs Il
bring forth the products of the soil
and our manufactures are closed
u stagnation in business, with
general suffering ensues. In view
of this fact, everything which has
a tendency to stimulate those in
terests should receive all possible
encouragement.
Nothing has u greater tendency
to furnish incentive to our farmers
aud mechanics, to increase, if poss-
ible, their efforts, than the public
exhibitions Of their products. 1t
is not the simple exhibition, merely;
but the great gathering to discuss the
question as to the best methods of
labor; with practical illustrations in
the shape of splendid and rare ami
mails, fowls, grain, fruit, flowers,
agricultural implements, mac hinery,
&c. Among the Stare exhibitions
Of this character, none are more
popular than that of Michigan.
The Fair last year, ut East Sagin-
aw, was an excellent one in all re-
spects. The coming twenty-sev-
enth annual exhibition promises to
equal, if not to excel, any Of its
predecessors. No pains are being
spared in making every needed
preparation. The Fair will be held
September 18th, 18th, 18th, 18th
and 18th, at the same grounds as
last year, in East Saginaw; and
better convenicnces it would be
hard to obtain anywhere in the
State.
