Small Fruits in Gardens.

But few people seem to know the value
of small fruits to family, when grown IN
their own gardens. You commence with
Strawberries; they continue about month.
You pick, perhaps, from six to twelve
quarts day. You have them on your
table as dessert, if you please at noon,
and your tea table is loaded with them at
evening, and you want little else but your
bread and butter. Your family consume,
in one way or another, about eight quarts
a day, and while they last, no medicines
for bodily ailments are required, as a
quart of strawberries daily will generally
dispel all ordinary diseases not settled
permanently in the system. After straw
berries, rasberries come to continue about
three weeks then we have blackberries
where the climate is not too cold for cul.
tivated varieties then the currants ripeo,
which remain until the early grapes ma
ture and taking the season through any
family with half acre of land in a gar
den can grow small fruits that make coun-
try life delightful, and at the same time
hundreds of dollars can be saved in the
supply of the table.

The Fairs The Farmers Schools.

Hundreds of letters come TO us yearly,
asking about matters and things which are
very fully exhibited at the Agricultural
Fairs every fall. A farmer who observes
the live stock, implements, machines, and
other interesting objects at these exhibit
tons, and makes study ofthem, will gain
much valuable information. Those who at
tend the fairs, with their goods and live
stock, are pleased to have them seen and
examined. 1t is their business to show what
they have on exhibition, and we never yet
knew one Of them TO give an impatient or
churlish reply TO any civil inquiry made
Of them but on the contrary, have always
found them eager to impart information.
Now this information is precisely what the
farmer wants. lie needs TO be instructed
about the differences in character and
value of live stock, the uses and working
of implements and machinery, the value
Of improved grains and other products,
the kinds Of artificial fertilizers otierd by
the manufacturers. and scores Of other
matters, not only Of great interest but OF
value in his daily business.
Then farmers need to meet together and
talk with one another about these things,
and compare views. 1t is hardly possible
for any two farmers so TO discuss matters
relating to their business without matual
benefit The County or State Fair Is the
place of all others for farmers to meet
with one another, and also to meet those
who provide them with implements aud
various other supplies. BY all means
let every farmer not only attend the fairs,
but use all his faculties when there, in
the effort TO learn every thing that Is pos
sibie. A fair Is great school for the
farmer and his NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

CHINESE COURT OF INQUIRY.

Sam Kee, president of the Quong Hing
company, to which the two Cinnamon who
were shot on Sunday night last belong, states
he will not engage in the prosecution of All
Fat and Lee Gum charged with the outrage,
although they belong to another company,
until he in conjunction with other officers of
the Quong Hing company have investigated
the case and sufficient evidence is established
to prove that the men who are now confined
were engaged in the shooting. The young
Chinaman who informed on All Fat and Lee
Gum still persists in the veracity of the state
ment made to the officers on Tuesday. But
what we know of Chinese tribunals of Justice,
we suppose the young fellow can soon be COM
PEELED to swallow his belief, and, as in hun
dreds of other Chinese cases. the end of
Justice will be defeated 1t is understood
that this Chinese Court of Inquiry is now in
session and that it will decide some time to-
day whether the Quong Hing company will
be justified in prosecuting the suspected
parties in our courts. Without the aid of Sam
Kee and his followers, a prosecution of the
case will only entail great expenditure upon
Ormsby County, and the whole affair termin-
ate in farce. The Chinese are adapts at
proving alibis in spite of the skill of our
police
