THE FAIRS THE FARMERS'
 SCHOOL.

To those who have been accus toned to fairs, and who have attend ed them whore they were properly conducted, it is useless expatiate upon the advantages and benefits to be derived therefrom. They under stand how every one who goes to a fair sees new things, gets new ideas, lmbibes new zeal and energy, &c., dc. But our people here have not yet become sufficiently acquainted with these fall fairs to know their value and use. Therefore we have great patience in talking this matter up to our readers. And we shall not despair of arousing the interest of our readers. For the present we content ourselves by giving the fol lowing sensible extract from the American Agriculturist upon this subject:
 Hundreds of letters come to us yearly, asking about matters and things which are very fully exhibit ed at the agricultural fairs every fall. A farmer who observes the live stock, implements, machines, and other interesting objects at these ex- hbitions. and makes a study of them, will gain much valuable infor nation, Those who attend the fairs, with their goods and live stock, are pleased to have them seen and examined. It is their business to show what they have on exhibi- tion, and we never yet knew one of them to give an impatient or churl- ish reply to any civll inquiry made of them; but on the contrary, have always fonnd them eager to impart information. Now this information is precisely what every farmer wants. He needs to be instructed about the differences in character and value of live stock, the uses and working of implements and machinery. the val ue of improved grains and other products, the kinds of artificial fer tllizers offered 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 com
  pare views. It is hardly possible for any two farmers so to discuss mat ters relating to their business with out mutual benefit. The County or State Fair, is tine place of all others for farmers to meet with one anoth- CT, and also to meet those who pro vide them with implements and various other supplies. By all means let every farmer not only at tend the fairs, but use all his facul ties when there, in the effort to learn everything that is possible. A fair Is great school for the farmer and his family.

FROM ST. LOUIS.
ST. Lotus, Mo, Sept. 14,

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. II, lSff.
 To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 I arrived at St. Louis at ' o'clock, Thursday morning, and called on Messrs. Washburn & Sons, Commis sion Merchants. About 10 o'clock we started for the Fair Grounds. The city IS thronged with strangers visiting the Exposition. Arriving at the { Fair grounds, which cover about 93 acres, the first thing that attracts our eye is the Darwin tribe; they have quite commodious house. I lacked little, therefore could not get in with the rest. Newspaper of fees on the ground, also telegraph offices. There is good collection of animals, belonging to the Associa- on,-tigers, lions, elephants, ami malls from all countries, also the sweet perfumed bird, called the skunk. The Art Gallery is attract rocting great deal of attention; there are a great many good paint ings, but as l am no critic, 1 will not attempt to paint any of them to the imagination of your readers, but would call the attention of those who visit the Fair to take one look at the painting entitled, Paying the Rent. Next we are hungry; and at every step we are met by drummers for some booth, where according to their ideas, we can get the best din her, for the least money. By hard struggling we worked our way thro' the crowd of drGmmers and boot blacks and found ourselves in Booth ,19, where we got good dinner for 9 cents, the proceeds were for the benefit of the Fairmount Presbyteri- an Church. We then crossed over into the Agricultural department, which covers about six acres. It IS covered with all kinds of farming implements, and from all States in the Uuion. It would be au advant- age to some of our farmers to come and look through this department. At three o'clock we saw some fine trotting. After supper we paid Don Pedro visit. Friday morning l strolled around the village for a few hours, and I am considerably worried for fear shall not get ac quainted with more than two-thirds of the young ladies of the place.
 Again at the fair grounds. In the Mineral department, 1 find myself in the midst of old Arkansas. The St. L. l. M. & S. Ky. have minerals, fruits, grain and vegetables, grown along the line of their road in Ark. The Little Rock & Ft. Smith Ky. has also fine exhibit of timber, grain, grasses, vegetables, fruits and min erals. In the same department is grapevine about 10 inches in diam eter, which is claimed by Ark, Mo-, and also by vender of fine Califor- mia wines; considerable sport is made over it. The Saline County Digest had about 5000 copies on ta- bles with instructions to take one. The Zimmerman Dryer is attracting considerable attention; all farmers claim it to be the best thing of the kind they ever saw.
 1 am now engaged in watching . game of foot ball; it is quite exci- ting. Will send you more net week.
