Speaking of the farm of Hon. George
Geddes, Fair Mount, N. Y, the Country
Gentleman says: "The twenty acre field
which was cultivated for seventy years
without barn manure, and which continued
to yield heavy crops during all this period,
was treated with an application of yard
manure few years since, not from any ne
cessity for it, but because there happened
to be a surplus near at hand. Mr.. Geddes
thinks it caused some increase in the
luxuriance of the crops, but he still pre-
fers, as a matter of economy, the practice
of blowing in clover. A mass of the stems
and leaves copious enough to fill the fur
row he finds more valuable than any COM
mon coat of yard manure, while the roots
are not only valuable part of the crop,
but they serve as an efficient loosener OF
the SOIL All the manure made on the
farm is, however, carefully saved and ap-
piled as useful auxiliary in maintaining
the fertility of the land"

The finest tomato we have seen this year
is the Acme, introduced by K. P. Bliss &
Son, of New York. There has been so
much disappointment in new varieties that
we had begun to dspair of seeing any i'm
provement on the old Smooth Red. Hub
bards Hathaway, Canada Victor, and other
varieties have all been tried and found
wanting in the qualities called for by the
kitchen authorities. "We want round,
smooth, solid tomatoes, and your new kind
don't grow So" was the dictum. But
when neighbor handed us an Acme and
we presented it for criticism there was only
a burst of admiration. 1t was large, it was
round, it was smooth, it was thin skinned
and when cut and brought to table it was
found to be brilliant in color, solid in flesh
JUICY and rich. 1t was rightly named; i
marks the acme thus far in tomato grow
ing Christian Union.

1t is d ......cr Of little consequence as to
the acreage which is put in, in this or that
grain, in this or that crop; it matters very
little how much farmer raises on his
farm-the important question is how much
he raises per acre. The farmer who raises
one hundred bushels of wheat on four acres
will become well-to.do, independent
farmer, if not a rich man, if he does not
meet with extraordinary misfortune; buI
the farmer who raises one hundred bushel:
of wheat on twelve acres is on the direct
road to poverty, and undoubtedly will be
come poor if he lives long enough and
raises wheat enough.

Agricultural Fairs.

Mr.. Alexander Hyde, well-known farm
er and writer for the agricultural press,
to the Country Gentleman some
suggestions as to the management of these
institutions which are seasonable and per- |
tinent. After an allusion to the celebrat |
ed Pittsfeld Fair, which he styles the |
model county fair of the country, and
which was held in the shade of a great elm,
where there were no premiums offered, no
gate fees, and where all were welcome to
see the stock, and an allusion to the i'm
portant influence it exerted, and its value
as an educational institution for farmers,
he says: "There is some complaintnow-and
not without foundation-that our agricul-
tural fairs have degenerated; that they are
no longer cattle shows, managed for the
benefit of farmers, but horse trots, con-
Quoted with an eye to speculation. 1t
must be confessed that the tone of most of
our fairs is not up to the old standard.
The crowd that attend them do not go for
instruction and improvement, but for
amusement. Jockeys and loafers are in
the ascendency, while farmers take the
background, many declining to exhibit
their stock, as so little attention is paid to
1.-THE horse trot absorbing all the in,
terest.
{" 1t is not too late to save these institu-
tions from utter debasement. Some of our
State and county fairs-notably that of the
AoSo III
their integrity, and are managed on a
strictly agricultural and industrial basis.
There is not in the country more educa-
tional institution than the New York State
Agricultural Society, and at its fairs there is
an assembly of the most intelligent yoe-
manry and cultured gentlemen from all
parts of the country, who are drawn togeth
er by the magnificent display of stock and
the products of all kinds of industries
What one society does, another may do
Farmers should attend the annual meet
ings of their respective societies, and see t.
it that only true men are elected to the
fault to 60 into the hands Of jockeys anC
demagogues, farmers have no one to blam
but themselves. Cattle shows and fairs ar
a peculiarly agricultural institution, ant
should be run by yeomen, and for the bene
fit of agriculture-not to send this man t
Congress, put that one into the guberna
torial chair, and aid another in his gamt
ling pool.
"That there is need of reform in som
of our agricultural societies there is n
doubt. When few hundred dollors ar
offered as premiums for the best cattle
sheep and swine, and for the best farr
products, while thousands are paid out i
prizes to fast horses, there is somethin
rotten in Denmark At one famous fa
the prizes for horses were paid in full, an
only fifty per cent. allowed on the pr
miums for cattle and other stock. Th
was neither just nor generous, and shoul
not be tolerated"

economy in all farming operations we determined
to reduce the price Of SHELL LINE for the
