Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1877-09-10

Darling aud G. G.. Drown showed good
pens of sheep.
The fancy poultry men in this vicini-
ty have made reputation and do not
now need to exhibit their fighting cocks
as formerly. So we judge from the en-
tire absence of this class of fowls. There
were just enough of geese, ducks and
turkies on exhibition to name. OF
course they were good.
There are few fruit rsisers in this
county that have courage to fight the
climate, and enterprise sufficient to make
show of what they have been able to
do. Among those who exhibited their
fruit this year. are N. F. Ball of West
Derby, F. P. Cheney of Glover and a
few others who do not make this bust
ness speciality. Mr.. Ball showed so
varieties of English, and s varieties of
crab apples, some of them were very
large and all of them were meritorious.
Mr.. Cheney brought small tree heav-
lily laden with large luscious apples,
basket of very large apples, and several
varieties from his nursery, that show
the feasibility of producing apples. 10
contradict the erroneous opinion that
some have, in regard to the possibility
of raising good, pleasant fruit from crab
stocks, Mr.. G. showed both the crabs and
the gratis from the same tree: the crabs
were about the size of a thorn apple,
while the gratis were very large and
good. +. B. Simonds showed va
riety of native apples that are equal to
the best fruit. Other exhibitors showed
apples, but they were similar in kind
to those already mentioned. Mr.. Ball
exhibited tomatoes. kinds of large
ripe onions and almost all kinds of gar
den vegetables, all of which were good
of their kind. He showed s kinds of
beans, s of peas. and 8 of corn. Mr..
E. E. Clark had very good show of
vegetables, including melons, squash,
onions, and 81 pound cabbage. He
showed tomatoes and seed corn. Mr..
Simonds exhibited kind of sweet corn
that he represents to be superior to any
he ever saw. E. ]. Bruce made good
show of peas, beans, melons, citrons
etc. Moses Beedle showed cluster
of sweet, ripe grapes, that were donat-
ed after the fair ended to the editor,
for which, thanks. The squashes and
pumpkins were large and quite plenty.
The show of butter cheese and sugar
was never smaller. We are not pre-
pared to speak of the relative merits Of
either.
The mechanical department was pref.
ty we'll filled up. G. j. Ufford exhibit.
