One Thing TO Be Zone,

There has gradually crept into our fairs
one thing which must be taken hold of
with firm, strong hand, and corrected
and that is gambling.
We do not refer to the matter of stakes
and betting on horse races, which may or
NAV not be inseparabe with horse racing,
and which we leave to be settled with
horse racing itself. This species of
gambling is not likely to much affect
Others than those already familiar with it.
But that to which we refer first made its
appearance in rings 10 be thrown to catch
on spikes driven in II board, or balls
thrown at some object, generally some
human figure. Five cents for chance
to try your skill and twenty-five cents for
every ring you Make or n cigar for
every time you hit the head
These devices have been varied, have
appeared in many forms, generally having
some little chance for display of skill,
but infinitely more depending upon chance,
till this last season there has been ut most
OF our fairs the vice shown pure and SIM
pie, shorn of all disguise and stripped of all
pretence to trials of skill. At our state
lair, at Bethel, Tunbridge, Woodstock,
were gaming tables where bogus iewery
and money were staked upon the cast of
dice. The regular green cloth with money
piled lemptingly upon it, appealing to the
boys cupidity in strongest fashion, and it
is made to appear to him that he has n
fair chance to receive back five-fold for the
few pennies he is able to put down. Hap
py for him if his first venture takes his
whole capital and he loses.
This evil has reached proportions now
which imperatively demands the attention
of the managers of our fairs and the no.
lice of the towns where fairs are held
The farmers holiday should not be made
q school of vice to bis sons, where cor
rupting influences are thrown before them
in most specious, form, and when the
sleeping demon of vice of most allurino
character and dangerous effects, may be
aroused to blight and ruin their whole
future life. 1t is an imperative duty of all
managers of fairs to al once and ent;relv
abate this most serious evil and of farm.
ers to see that it is done. The moral in
fuence of the community once aroused
and directed against it, is powerful enough
to put an end to such moral pestilence.

y correspondent of the Fruit Recorder
writing from Wakefield, Mass gives IN
account of his troubles aud loss from
using muriate of potash, in compost for
manurinS ground for strawberry plants,
early beels and other vegetables. In pre-.
pairing the compost he s(tcd one hundred
pounds of it free from Jumps, and mixed
II part of it with fine muck, by spreading
upon the compost bed "three to four
inches of muck, and slight sprinklinc Of
the muriate of potash" alternately. This
remained several days, and was then
shoveled over and mixed thoroughly.
After repeated and thorough mixing, it
was applied very thinly' at the bottom
of deep furrows, in which strawberry
plants were set, after the compost had
been covered level with the surface soil,
by earth from the turned burrows. Wher-
ever the roots of the strawberry plants,
which were set on the land, came in con-
tact with compost, the plants died, and he
lost in this way a large lot of high cost
plants, OF the newest and most promising
varieties. A light dressing Of tho same
compost killed his early beets and peas ;
and his experience with muriate of potash
is that it is unsafe to use it in any compost
for growing plants, or in any way in
which other powerful substances, las guano,
etc, are used rs fertilizers. Five times
its weight of water hot or cold, will
dissolve but little of it, and when dissolv-
ed the solution has no similarity to a
potash solution, but is of the nature of
caustic and poisonous brine, unfit for pur
poses Of "a liquid fertilizer

Bro. Hoskins has been publishing in the
Watchman Young Farm er's Catechism.
We have not room for it entire, as il runs
through several numbers, not being finish
cd yet; but we give below selections from
two numbers, which will enable our read
ers to perceive something of its scope and
value.
The first on manures:
QUESTIONABLE these heterogeneous fertili-
zers cheap and easily had?
Answer-No; they are the most costly
of all we use and the most scarce; yet
they are absolutely necessary 10 the pro-
duction of our crops.
Question-Which of our ordinary ma
nures contains them in greatest abund-
ance?
Answer-Urine.
Question-What is the greatest waste
of our farmsp
Answer-The waste of the liquid ma
nure.
Queslion-How is this wasted?
Answer-By allowing the urine to be
lost, and the solid manure to be leached by
rains.
Question-llow much of the value of
the manure of our animals is thus wasted?
Answer-More than half of it.
Question-What more than any other
one thing keeps farmers poor?
Answer-Iack of knowledge and care
in regard to the value and use of nitro
genous manures.
Another on tillage implements:
Queston-Whnt is the chief implement
of tlllage?
Answer-The plow.
Question-What must - good pillow be
capable of doing?
Answer-Of thoroughly, easily and uni
fUrmly pulverizng the soil through which
it passes.
Question-What marks the good plow-
man?
Answer-Ablity to select such II pillow,
suited 10 the land upon which it is 10 be
used, and so TO attach his team to it and
guide it us to cause il TO do its work in the
best manner.
Qaesliun-Aro such plowmen plenty?
Answer-Not any too plenty in America.
Queston-What are other important
implements of tilage?
Answer-Clod. crushers, harrows, rollers
and culiivatorS.
Question 49, What are their usesp
Answer-ro finish tue work begun by
the pillow in fitting the ground for the
crop, and afterwards TO keep the surface
open and free from weeds.
Question-What are the chief requisites
to he sought for in such implements?
Ansa Efficiency first, then the ease,
rapiuily and the cheapncss with which
their work is done. Under the last head
comes their thorough and workmanlike
construction.
Question-What should young farmer
aim at in this matter Of tillageP
Answer-First to understand its princi-
pies; then to make himself acquainted
with the various implements, and, by
practice, become proficient in their use.
He should never rest satisfied until he
knows good work and good tools when he
sees them, and cannot be beat either in
fitting land for a crop or in culivating
that crop in the best manner and at the
least cost. When he has reached this
point he may spare little time to learn
how ogaita trottng horse.

came men" was right. is it not important
that farmers, rs their children constitute n
large majority of the pupils in our COM
mon schools, should insist on more
practical system of instruction?

and daughters flor hope she has both)
would receive no school learning except
from the district school, would she be
satisfied with such instruction rs is now
given in our average common schools?
1t is idle 10 talk of general education
for all in our schools, and then let each
one choose their own occupation, when for
thousands of the children of the state there
is no choice. There is no possible way OF
their evading the Adamic curse" but

The president and secretary were chosen
"A subcommittee 10 solicit funds to meet
the expenses thus assumed and also con-
tributions for the exhibition. Vice Presi-
dent Spragne, who attended the fair last
winter and is thoroughly aroused to the
necessity of making n large show of our
products, promptly subscribed twenty-five
dollars towards the expense and promised
to send ten packages of butter in five
separate lots. Vice President McAllister,
who was compelled to leave before the
close of the meeting, enthusiastically
pledged himself to do his part" Gov
ernor Proctor, who happened to be at
New York during the last fair, and is
deeply interested in the project, has pledg-
ed twenty-five dollars, land more if neces-
sary." Many othes with whom the COM
miltee have conversed, have expressed
their appreciation. but few have as yet
definitely assumed any responsibility in
the matter.
The committee in whose hand the
matter is left earnestly hope 10 be spared
the necessity of making direct personal
appeal to individual citizens of the state,
and trust that the necessary funds and
goods will be pledged without, when the
matter is thus publicly brought to then
attention. We hope to be able to exhibit
not less than ten thousand pounds Of
choice Vermont butter and cheese, and
would much prefer to two or three times
as much. The prize list and rules of the
coming fair are not yet promulgated, but
they will be produced as soon as issueC
and sent to all applicants, or persons wh(
prefer can order them direct from Mr.

"Thc Southdown gives the most for
the least" he replied. THE mutton is
the very best and the wool is just right for
the country mills 10 make up into rolls for
home spinning; or the mills will take that
wool, and weave it into homespun on
shares, but they won't look at combine
wool, because il il too long to be carded
That is the great fault with the long wool
sheep. Combing wool don't sell SO easy
rs carding wool, because it can't be used
at the country mills; besides, coarse wool
sheep are too fat mutton for home use.
You can put two inches of fat on their
ribs, but that is only good to SELL
" There are no other sheep so handy as
the Southdown," said William. "Our
thoroughbred flock gives US more lambs
than the grade long wool ewes. and are
never sick; but the grade ewes are often
ailing and if we did not sell them off,
some might die; the wool is too open to
suit me. and the sheep take cold in
stormy weather, which the Southdowns
don't mind at all.-RWrdt.

Col. j. b. Walker, of Concord, who is
one of the most intelligent farmers in
New Hampshire, says from his own care
ful experiments that the analysis of a
given crop of corn is not sure guide as
to the manurial needs of the particular
soil upon which it may be proposed to
raise it. He believes that personal exper-
iments are the most trustworthy means
of ascertaining the wants of soil with
reference to any crop the farmer may
grow; and in this desirable opinion every
level headed farmer will concur.

tion gave but little opportunity for proper
arrangements. No instruments could be
obtained to test the draft, and the commit
tee were obliged to decide upon the best
work done by the different plows. After
trying each pillow at different depths with
different plowmen. the committee, con-
sisting of Charles Gates. George Ranney,
G. j. Bell, William Clement and Theo-
dore Parker, made the following report:
1--WE find that all the plows tested are
good ones, doing excellent work. We
give the preference, first to the Granger
second to the Matchless; third to the Cen
tennial."
The manure spreader attracted much at
tention, and the perfect manner in which
it did the work ranks it in the front of
labor saving farm implements, and its en-
pense is all that prevents its coming into
general use. Buffers harrow did all he
claimed for it, and Norris harrow is well
adapted to light level soil.
While the committee were making out
their report, o. M. Tinkham, agricultural
editor of the VERMONT FREEMAN, laid off
his coat and plowed four burrows that
were decided by the crowd to be the best
laid burrows of the trial, emitting Tink-
ham to the first premium as plowman
This first attempt for years to test farm
implements in Caledonia county was a
splendid success. and it was decided by
those present that the agricultural society
ought to furnish means and accommodate
tions for fully testing all farm implements
at the future fairs OF the society. L.
The above clipping from some Caledo.
mia county paper was sent us, and we
print it for the information it contains, rs
well us to allow few words on the per-
sonnl item concerning the editor. We
watched the match with much interest,
and saw that none of the plows were
doing as good work as they were capable
of doing, by reason of the improper
manner in which the teams were hitched
to them, and we said us mach. Some one
remarked that an agricultural editor
should be able to show how the thing
should be done, at which there was n
laugh of incredibly. AS described, we
did plow four burrows, and with pillow
we never used before, having first hltched
up the horses as we thought they should
be, and with tho result named. From
this Incident may be drawn Two suggestive
Ideas; first, that oflentimes farmers fail OF
getting the best work from their tools 10y
not handling them properly, for which the
tools are blamed when the fault is entirely
IN the user. Second, the idea generally
.mong farmers and others, that agricul-
tural editors have no practical acquaint-
ance with farm work. That such is the
case, the tone of the crowd at the match
when it was suggested that the editor
should plow, and the establishment shown
when he was found able to do it, plainly
shows Has the idea good foundation in
factp

In the first place the man makes a great
mistake, fatal mistake when he looks to
a legislature to assure success in his
business, or make laws solely in the
interest of him or his class. All that any
man can fairly claim is that the laws shall
not discriminate against him; shall not
pull him down to build others up, but
shall give him an equal chance to win all
which his abilities and natural surround
lngs entitle him to.-NeU Hampshire
