THE FNR.-Thc Fair is something
all are interested in, and we hope
cvcrybody's doing what they can
to contribute to its success. The
company have certainly done their
part. The premiums offered by the
Society are liberal, and the energy
heretofore displayed by the mana,
gers sufficient guarantee Of the sue,
cess ofthc enterprise, The character
of the people of every county is al,
ways Judged by the characterofthcir
agricultural and mechanical eXhibi-
tons and we believe they are u true
index to the character, manners and
education of the citizens. We, of
Mason, should therefore feel a pride
in making this fair successin every
respect. Let the farmers and me
chanics do their best and turn out
IN massc, with their best looks and
exhibit to the world the fact that in
refinement, culture, ART, science ana
agriculture they are fully up with
the ogc.
There are remedies for the cradica-
ton Of cabbagc-worms, but we know
none so good as the following which
IS recommended by one of our most
cntcrprising farmers. His plan is
to sprinkle finely ground black pep
per on the plant, Two applications,
he says, will be sufficient to dispcrsc
the pests. His theory is that the
worm has numerous legs and fine
hairs, and that the pepper poisons or
makes it so hot for them that their
continuance of abode on 4 plant so
treated is very disagrceablc and they
at once depart,
