Agricultural Fairs.

The farmer of to-day is vastly more in
terested in Improvements in grain, stock,
machinery and all things that are of practi.
cal benefit to him, than the farmer of twenty
years ago. But experience has taught him
that he will learn nothing himself, nor bene-
fit his family in the least, by attending the
county fairs as a majority of them are now
managed; consequently he seeks his inform
alton elsewhere. The manufacturer knows
this; the mechanic knows it, and so does
the dealer; and the result is seen in the
rapid abatement of what has become nui-
sance. The state fair is not much better
than county fair; nor will it be until it is
permanently located. Then by proper man
agement it ought to, and would, become a
grand exhibition. The great majority of
farmers are not interested in fast horses and
races, the delight of livery stable keepers
and fast young men. Farmers are practical.
improvements in agricultural and household
machinery interest them. improved breeds
of cattle, hogs, sheep, work horses, grains,
fruits and manufactured articles for use or
ornament interest them and they will pay
money readily to see them collected together
for comparison. The green, open-mouthed
country gawk is rapidly disappearing,
and sharp, intelligent, critical class is TAX
ing his place. Red and yellow paint fails
to dazzle these new corners. A horse-race
receives about as much attention from them
as performing bear. They look at things
intelligently, and the practical and useful
finds its way to their farms and kitchens,
the really ornamental to their lawns and
parlors; and not only they, but their fami
lies, the inventor, manufacturer, and the
whole country are benefited thereby.

was even and dense and the growth good,
affording satisfactory fall feed, but not quite
enough to NOV for hay. Usually the sec
ond crop is abundant, and several tons OF
hay are secured. The stock is mixed, as
sheep, calves and colts are kept, as well as a
good dairy of COWS. Although the urine
from the stables is saved here, the practice
is not initiated by the neighbors around.
The possibilities in farming in the future
depend upon saving manure, and the water
is the best half. The man with one COW
may manage with absorbents, but with
twenty cows, each voiding ten thousand
pounds of water in a year-or the whole two
hundred Thousand pounds, equaling one hun
dred tons-the small amount of absorbents
used by the common farmer only saves a
trine. Probably half is scattered in field or
pasture where the crop is benefited. If the
other half runs through the stable floor the
waste of the one item of nitrogen is esti-
mated at three hundred pounds annually,
and If the stable has been used twenty years,
then six thousand pounds of nitrogen, be-
side potash, phosphoric acid, etc., is below
the stable floor. know of only four farm
ers in Vermont who have cemented pits to
catch the drainage of their stables. The
subject will be treated more fully in the re-
port of the superintendent of Vermont agri-
culture. u. f. JAMESON.

TrOtting at Fairs.

A correspondent of the Maine Farmer
says You may as we'll offer a premium
for the best barrel of whiskey which is
made Of the grain that a farmer raises as
for the fastest trotting horse. In point of
fact, whiskey and technically fast horse
are equally useless and pernicious." The
truth is, this horse-trotting at fairs is simply
gambling and betting, disguised under the
thin veil of testing and trying the speed of
horses of no earthly use to any one except
those engaged in it, and an idle class which
always assemble on any exciting public oc-
casion. The thoughtful and serious farm
ers who would like TO make the cattle show
and fair an occasion to exhibit their good
work, farm products and domestic manufac-
lures, inspect that shown by others, com.
pare notes with each other and learn some.
thing new and valuable, care nothing, as a
rule, about fast horses any more than a
sober merchant does about some monstrosity
which an idle Snowman brings along and of
fers for sale or exhibition. The trotting
for purse of $50 is only gambling for thai
purse, and among the crowd of people are
those always there who are betting their s.
$40 and $50 that this or that horse will win
the race.

AnnattO Seed.

We are in receipt of package of annatto
seed from w. j. Van Patten, Esq, of Bur
lington, and also letter saying that this
seed only, and not the mass or ball annatto,
is used by his firm wells, Richardson &
Coz in the manufacture of their butter col
oring. In expressing our preference for car
rot color in butter, we did not design to con-
vey the idea that annatto, properly prepared,
was any less wholesome than carrot. Both
are used as articles of food, and both are,
when sound, entirely harmless. When the
unprepared seeds are brought TO this coun-
try they usually arrive in a sound condition,
though, like all other seeds, they are liable
to become mouldy or musty when not well
protected from damp. 1t was the mass an
natto that we spoke of seeing infested with
worms. No respectable manufacturer would
offer a preparation Of this for admixture
with any food product. But there are a
number of irresponsible makers of "butter
colors" who would not hesitate to use any
thing that was cheap, however nasty, for
this purpose. At the best, annatto has no
advantage over freshly prepared carrot juice
as butter color, while in perfection of tint
and in simplicity of application, as well as
in certainty that the right tint will be OBJ
tanned and will not change in keeping, car
rot seems to us much to be preferred. The
fact is, the color of the annatto seed is a
mixture of red and yellow. The red gets
the predominance at once if too much is
used, while even when only moderate
quantity is added to the butter the red
deepens while the yellow fades, just in pro-
portion to the time the butter stands be-
tween manufacture and consumption. There
fore, when we can have first-rate home
grown and homemade color which we knOw
is all right, why should we resort to a for
eign dyestuff which not only has to run the
risk of damage in importation, but has to
be prepared by the use of chemicals, and is
not, then, entirely trustworthy, or easily
managed The best butter buyers insist
on the use of carrot color. The lazy butter
makers are the patrons of annatto coloring.
1t is not the lazy butter makers who make
the best butter Fastidious consumers know
these facts, and will not buy annatto-dyed

Vermont Farms.

In investigating the saving and applica-
ton of liquid manures l heard that near
South Albany Mr.. l.. Smead bad used liquid
dressing for his fields, and to give the matter
personal inspection l visited his farm in
August. Mr.. Smead has lived ON this farm
thirteen years, and the long cemented pit
for the urine from his cattle had been made
and used dozen years by former occu-
pant, Mr.. Mason. Mr.. Smead was told that
a load of this urine from this pit was as
good as load of manure but he did not
quite believe it and did not apply it two or
three years after he came here. One spring
after the crops were in, he thought he would
test this fertilizer. He drew it to a field
where the hay crop would not have been
over half ton per acre. and as the liquid
was spread only as wide as the wagon, it was
easy to leave undressed strips between the
MANFRED plots. The effect in the rank,
green luxuriant growth was so marked as to
attract the attention of passers by, and in
the haying showed the difference between
half ton and two tons. Since that he gets
it out twice year and generally has sixty
hogsheads in the pit each time. He now
has pump and spout to run the liquid into
the tub, but for twenty years it had been
dipped up with pals. The number of cattle
stabbed is from seventeen to twenty-five
The manure drops through the floor and the
water drains from this basement into the
pit that is under another stable, which is OF
the same level as the manure cellar. A nice
pile of dry muck is heaped along the sid,
of the manure cellar to be shoveled from
time to time upon the manure to Absorb
some OF the water and add TO the quantit,
of manure. What is gathered here by tn,
first of November is applied to the whea

of Sanford corn by the road planted il

little thicker. 1t was so luxuriant and even

high, that any one at all acquainted witt
corn would admire it. This was for fodder
but had not been touched, as more matnrit
was desired. Meal was fed TO the COW
every night until the corn was ready. Their
were two acres of field corn of magnificen
growth. No weeds were among it, and
noticed many withered stalks of corn tw
or three feet long on the ground. Nj

A Boy Who Could Say No.

"Now Clear, sharp and ringing, with an
emphasis that could not fail TO arrest at
tention.
81 don't often hear such negative as
that" remarked one gentleman to another
as they were passing the playground OF the
village school.
1t is not often any one hears it, The boy
who uttered it can say yes too, quite as
emphatically. He is a new conner here, an
orphan, who lives with his uncle about two
miles off. He walks in every morning,
bringing his lunch, and walks back at night.
He works enough, too, to pay his board, and
does more towards running his uncle's farm
than the old man does himself. He is the
coarsest-dressed scholar in school and the
greatest favorite. Everybody knows just
what to expect of him.
"Quite character. | should like TO see

"All that is true, and if you wish to see

"Well, any way, you needn't speak so

"I'm willing everybody should hear what

to blame If there's been any fuss"
"Ned Dunlap, should like to see you

"Yes, SIR" And the boy removed his
hat as he passed through the gate aud
waited TO hear what Mr.. Palmer might say
TO him.
" Has your uncle any apples to sell ?"
"No, sir. He had some, but he has sold
them, I've got two bushels that were my
share for picking Should you like to buy
them, sir 2"
Yes, il we can agree upon the price.
DO you know just how much they are
worth 2"
"Yes, SIR"
"All right then. | will call for them,
and you may call at my house for the pay"
This short interview afforded the stran-
ger an opportunity to observe Ned Dunlap
closely. The next day call was made at his
uncle's, and although years elapsed before
he knew what friend he had gained, that
day his fortune was assured. After he had
grown to manhood and accepted lucrative
position, which was not of his seeking, he
asked why it had been offered him.
