What II Might DO.

Our state agricultural society is very
well organized and efficient manager of
anpual fairs. 1t is practically but COM
mittee of some of our leading blooded-stock
and fast-horse men for that purpose. But
this, it seems to us, is very limited con-
ception of what state agricultural society
ought to be aud do. Besides its fair, which
but small part of the farming community
can visit, why might not this society,
through committee of its active members,
hold agricultural meetings throughout the
state, either Independently, or in concert
with the local agricultural societies, clubs
and oranges This is certainly legitimate
work for state society to perform. There
are plenty of good men now connected with
the society, or who could easily be induced
to join it for the purpose, to carry on the
work in an able and efficient manner. The
society has funds at its disposal to supply
the small sum, if any, required to pay a
share of the cost of meetings. The work
would be beneficial one, and by drawing
attention to the society and demonstrating
its desire thus to extend its usefulness, it
would have the effect to increase popular
interest in the fair itself, both in the way of
contributions to the exhibition and in
larger and more general attendance.
This, it seems to us, would be just the
right solution of the vexed question of a
state board of agriculture. There are quite
a number of intelligent citizens who desire
the progress of agriculture, but who cannot
see the propriety of establishing permanent
state commission for that object. The ar
gument has some validity which claims that
there is as much sense in appointing a state
board of carpentry or of shoe-making, as one
of farming. The only plea against this is
the one of expediency, based on the far supe-
rior importance of the agricultural over me-
chenical interests in the state. But this is
two-edged argument, for the answer comes
ready to the lips, =" if farming Is so great an
interest why cannot it sustain its meetings
for popular instruction without state aid ?"
If the State Agricultural Society should I'M
it acts in the limited circle within which it
now operates, it would be much easier, if
necessary, to go to the legislature and ask
for moderate appropriation for necessary
expenses. Our state is too small to have so
many independent agricultural organiza-
tions, each too poor to do its work well, and
yet Jealous of every other. Better merge
them in one strong society, doing good work
which will make itself felt as a power among
us. Instead of board of agriculture that
dairymen's association living along at a
starving rate, why not have both merged
into Lives state agricultural society-one that
is alive and at work every month in the
wear

In one respect temperance work is like
homework. Women are sometimes heard
TO wish that they could get this busting and
darning, aud dish.washing done up once for
all as man builds barn, clears wood.
lot or digs well, and is through with it.
1t is tedious to keep pegging away at the
same hum-drum task to-day, tomorrow, and
the year round, as long as one lives-always
doing it, but never getting it done. But
that Is what temperance people must make
up their minds to do. There lie no discharge
in this war. We may whip in many a
skirmish and carry many an intrenchment
we may burn the enemy's supply trains and
break up his camps. But so long as human
nature is human nature, so long as men love
self-indulgence, we shall have to keep up d
running fight with this foe. To call this
task reform is misleading. 1t will not
be like the crusade against slavery. That
evil has been wiped out. When intemper
ance is wiped out we may expect to hear
the trumpets blowing for the millennium
Good Company.

Dog River Valley Fair.

This fair was held on the beautiful grounds OF
the company about two miles south OF Mortified
Village, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
Of last week, The prospect Monday was some
what disheartening but Tuesday came off clear
and warm. The grounds have been improved
and put in perfect order. Early Tuesday morning
the articles began to come for floral hall, and in
the latter part of the day the officers in charge
had all they could do in entering the things and
assigning them to their appropriate places 1t is
said that the entries were more numerous on the
first day than ever before. Wednesday morning
the stock began to arrive and by the middle of
the day everything was in order and ready for
inspection by the visitors who came flocking in.
THE CATTLE
were put In the line Of stalls OF the east side OF
the grounds at the south end The ones that first
claim the visitors attention the Joslyn cattle
exhibited by l.. r. Joslyn OF Waitsfeld. There
were two cows and two-year-old heller, besides
yearling bull which weighed twelve hundred
and twenty-five pounds, all full blood Durhams
OF Dutch stock he had two-year-old COW and a
yearling heifer There were also a fine pair OF
two-yearold steers, weight twenty-five hundred
and fifty pounds, and the prize oxen, four-years-
old, weighing four thousand one hundred and
fifteen pounds, which took first premium at the
state fair. Alfred Josn had a COW and pair of
calves besides three heifer calves all ine-ooking
animals. In the next stall the three-y ears-old
Jersey bull, " Monarch Of Pomfret," weighing
two thousand five hundred and twelve pounds,
and owned by T. ]. Sargent of Brookfed and a
yearlng bull of his stock, exhibited by George
Crane of WILLIAMSBURG. Mr.. Sargent had also a
yearling hefer, full blood Jersey, some heifer and
bull calves and two grade heller calves George
Denny exhibited bull and COW, both full blood
Jerseys. Next was some more Dutch stock,
two-years-old heifer and her calf besides a bull
and bull calf, all owned by Edison Kimball. L

A SONG OF rpE EARLY AUTUMN.

When In late summer the streams run yellow,
Burst the bridges and spread into bays;
when berries black and peaches are mellow.
And hills hidden by rainy haze;
When the golden rod Is golden STILL
But the heart Of the sunaowsr browner and sadder
When the ls in stacks the slope Of the hill,
And over the path slides the striped adder;
When butterflies nutter from clover to thlcket,
Or wave their wings the dropping leaf
When the breeze sh with the call Of the cricket
Grasshopper's rasp, and rustic Of sheaf;
When hlph in the field the fern leaves wrinkle
And brown the grass where the mowers have mown.
When low in the meadow the cow-bes tinkle,
And brookles crlnke DER stock and stones
When heavy and hollow the robins whistle,
And thick lies the shade in the heat of noon;
When the air Is white with the down OF the thistle,
And the sky is red with the harvest moon
Oh then be chary, young Robert and Mary
Let no time slip; not moment wait
If the fiddle would play 1t must stop It's tuning
And they who would marry must be done with their
incoming;
Mind well the cattle, let the churn go rattle
And pile the wood by the barn-yard gate

The Christian World speaks encourag-
ingly of the prospects Of temperance in
England. 1t says That total abstinence
is gradually taking hold of the upper classes
can be no longer doubted. Teetotalers are
now to be found in society where they
are not ashamed to acknowledge themselves
as such. With bishops and queens chap
lains, judges and members OF parliament,
physicians and scientists Fastening to sign
the pledge, the declared enemies OF alcohol
feel that they can take bodies social stand"
