Mr.. EDITOR:
As the time for holding the Aunu.
al FAIR has been decided upon, . few
suggestions as to how it should be man
aged so as to be Of more interest to ali
parties attending may not be out of
place, as it has worked successfully ID
the East it may also in the West. In
the first place all available names along
with the names Of the articles to be
exhibited should be handed in to the
Secretary day or two previous to the
Fair, so as to give him time to make
out the tickets Alright, that is, not to
have the name Of the exhibitor on the
ticket, Ind no entry should be taken
in later than IL O'clock on the first
day Of the Fair. All articles in the
tent should be judged on the first day,
and a ticket or ribbon of one color
attached to the article for first prize,
and another Of q different color for
second prize &c. SO as to distinguish
prize :rticles from others, another
essential feature is in the exhibition
Of horses they should all be exhibi-
ted on the race course, (or a smaller
circle would be more suitable) from
the Brood mare with foal by her side
to the carriage horses Sc &c. The
Marshall should have a programme
arranged and call each class Of horses
in to the circle in rotation and have
them exhibited separately.
They should be walked and trotted
around so as to show their actions 60.
How can a person judge a horse or
horses by seeing them tied to a fence
or hurdled up In a pen five or six
together The judges stand should
be in the centre Of the circle, and
after the horses have been driven
around the circle several times they
should be called in to the stand and
judged according to their merits, and
ticket or ribbon attached a. above
described Not Wishing to occupy
any mere space. I will only add that
if the above suggestions or something
similar be approved and acted upon it
would prove success and give greater
satisfaction to exhibitors who have
nothing to do in the matter of making
the arrangements for conducting the
Fair.
Yours &c,
Delhi Farmer.

Newspapers at the Centennial

The Special Correspondent of the
London Times says it would be diff.

big way in which the Americans do
things than that furnished by the

the 8,129 newspapers published regu-
larly in the United States, and see
them one aud all, for nothing! You

The famous plows and riding attach
ment made by Laraway, King & Per-
rine of the Minneapolis Plow Works
are pretty we'll known now to the farm
ers of Minnesota, having come into gen.
eral use throughout the State. Their
riding attachment has become deserv-
edly popular on account of its cheap
ness and the ease with which it could
be applied to any ordinary plow and
the only objection which could ever be
raised against it was the general one
against all agricultural machines where
the driver rode, viz: that the extra
weight must of necessity increase the
draft,
A happy thought occurred to the
mechanical genius of the firm last week,
and this was, that if a small wheel
were attached to the rear end of the
beam, running just behind and little
lower than the share that the whole
plow would then be on wheels and a
large amount of friction consequs entity
removed. The idea was shortly carried
out and on Saturday of last week a
dynamometer test applied in stubble
field near Minneapolis.
A common plow, without any attach
ment was first tried with the instru-
ment, aud furrow six inches in depth
turned over. Eighty-five observations
were noted down in going around the
field, the dynamometor showing a
strain Of from 175 to 400 pounds.
The general average being taken gave
289 pounds.
The attachment Was now applied
without the real wheel and an ordina-
ry sized man weighing one hundred
and fifty pounds mounted it and drove
the term. Ninety -four observations
were made, which varied from 200 to
AS pounds, giving general average
Of 3l1 pounds, or twenty-five more
than the common plow.
The rear wheel was now applied and
the same man mounted ooce more.
Eighty two careful observation were
taken this time, which ran from $50
up to $50 pounds, the same depth of
farrow being taken. This gave gen.
eral strain Of 26l pounds or twenty
eight less than the common plow where
the driver walked.?s1Farmers Union
Hon. D. G.. Lane, from Bermuda,
West India Islands, is now on visit
to Omaha, and informs The Herald Of
that city that those islands were once
overrun with grasshoppers, but the
people soon found means to get them
under check, and stopped their rava-
ges entirely. Mr.. Lane says in let-
ter:
"For the last two weeks I have been
in this country from the West Indies,
and I fud the grasshoppers making
great ravages in vegetation. In order
to prevent this, burn one pound Of sui
phur on charcoal. in the center Of a
field, and save what it has taken SO
much toll to develop.
/. To prevent potato bugs from des.
troying the crop, plant two grains Of
fax seed in each hill. This will pre-
vent them from injuring the potatoes,
as theysswill not 20 near the fax"
. Sulphur is q simple remedy, and
cheap, if it will do the work. We are
not aware that it has ever been tried

of our Centennial Exhibition that al.
most every one in our broad and beauti-

able products of our country, gathered
from every State and territory.

In presenting this array of figures,
we have, of course, adopted the short
and quickest line to the Centennial, in
order to give the cheapest. and that
rout is by the Great Fort Wayne and
Pennsylvania Line, which runs all its
traits direct to the main entrance, thus
saving to the traveller the cost of car
riage hire or the vexations annoyance
Of slowgoing street cars, which travel
er's by all other routes must use, in
order to reach the Centennial grounds,
more than three miles distant from
any depot, except the commodious one
erected by the Pennsylvania Line fo1
the enjoyment OF its patrons.
Every visitor to the Centennial has
testified to the superiority ofthe Great
Fort Wayne and Pennsylvania Line
with its complete and elegant Parlor
Sleeping and Hotel Coaches where
one can luxuriously recline and view
with delight the charming scenery o.
lofty mountains, beautiful valleys, and
the ripping waters of the bright and
sparkling Juniata, together with the
famous Horse Shoe Bend, Allegrippus
Pack Saddle, the crossing Of the Sus
quehanna, and an endless variety Of
lovely sights not to be found on any
ether but this popular line.
One could spend hours in writing
Of its beauties and comforts, but space

and Pennsylvania Line to the Centen.

or any transfer.
