 Our late State Fair. tbSmgh net q success iu each apd every depart ment. was, nevertheless, on the whole Il very marlSed and decided success. Ihe meager exhibits of agfieeulturai products was rather discreditable to the entcrprizc.of our farmers, llul this vas iiu tioubt owing to the necui .aar circumstances snrfonnding us, chief Of which may De mentioned the latpncss of the season, and the eener- Il confusion aid disorder resulting from the late terrible scourge of the yellow fever; but the display ofagri cultural and inanfacturiug machines and iniilementa and live stock wsls unusually large and attractive. ahd the interest manifested by th, farmers and alisothers interested in the intfoiuction af these improved methods ofagricnlture an,l improve, stock was very gratifying, and the impetus thereby given t lauaable desire to adopt these Improvements into our State evidently marks new era in the future growth and advan cement of the State, which is grati fying in the extreme.
 One great lesson for the Arkansas farmers to learn at this <tlne--one that more deeply coneefns thelr fu ture prosperity than any other, is to break loose from theIr old habits and ideas, an,l especially that of bend lug all thelr energies and capital to the proiitless culture of cotton, and turn their attention more to tho more pleasent, agreeable and profitable cultivation of grain, vegetables, frdit and stock. WevvntGre to say that there IS not planter in Afkant as who now makes cotton his piinchtal crop, who could not make more mon ~ aud aith less sacrifice of time. la lpr audexpensc, ny deyoting at least one half Of his lands to the raising of other products.
 But in order To make these othe. crops as profitable as possible and thrrcby enahle onr SouthefL farmers to successfully compete with .heir more enterprising Northern brethren we must av il ourselves of all the aids and adjuncts they employ in the way of improved and labossaying implements and machinery.
 We have great advantages over them iu the way of fertility of land and favoring s,asons, but unless we avail ourseves of the great saving in time, labor and expence gaired hy Che use and employment of improved machinery; they, with all their dis advantages oi worn out iands and snort ana incIrlnent seasons, can un dersellus. The first thing, therefore to bo done in changing our system of agriculture by more generally diN ersiiNing our crops, Is to adopt and put in use the latest ilnprovment iu all maehinss and implements for making gathering and saving crops. And 1t was disposition in this direction so clearly manifested hy all visitors to our late Far that has inspired us with the hope and belief that our farmers are about to wake up from the long sleep that has so long l,aralyzed their eneigies; or rather impaired their means and ca paclties for enlarged usefulness, and to start out upon a career ot inter
