Visiting Good Farms,

The many iairs that are being held in
various sections of the country are doing
much towards advancing far more en-.
lightcned agriculture. We have already
pointed out some of the advantages TO lie
gained by a careful study of the exhibits,
and the importance of taking an active part
n these fairs. Another suggestion to the
same end is here offered, which, if acted
upon, will supplement the work of the fairs
and do much good to all progressive farm
ers. 1t is the duty of every farmer to visit
yearly some of the best farms in the coun-
try, and there gather practical lessons in
improved agriculture. there is no method
OF learning about any farm subject equal to
being an the farm where it is practised, and
having it explained by the one who has
made it a success, 1t may be the way OF
feeding stuck, or plan of preserving roots,
ensilage, or other fodder. A farmer may
contemplate a system of uuderdralns for his
wet fields, in this case it would be best to
make a visit TO some farmer who has thus
drained his farm, aud gain from him many
valuable hints aud suggestions in this i'm
portaut work. Such visits not only give
new ideas, but are a wholesome recreation,
aud many a farmer who at first thought
may say" ~ eau not afford it," will find by
experience that he has spoken too soon
Take day To 60 and visit some one of the
best iarms in the county, and this will open
the way for further visits and a wider

tron the following:
Mr.. Blaine, in his funeral oration before
the two houses to-day said: "When Gen

cheney Of the Army Of the Cumberland"
Twas Commanding General Of that army,
General Garfield was my Chief OF Staif.
Had this been q fact, I certainly should
have known Il; General Garfield was
bound to tell me OF 1t, and Justice to The
truth Of history and to the Army OF the
Cumberland requires that ! should declare
that never heard OF such state Of things
until the statement came from the lips Of
the orator to-day. The distinguished gen.
tleman has been wholly misinformed, and
the statements above quoted have no foun-
datfon in fact. On the contrary, It was the
general sentiment and constant boast OF
the officers and men OF that army that the
Army OF the Cumberland was singularly
united and free from dissensions, and
therefore no ones genius was required to
heal the dissensions. I appeal to them to
bear witness to this fact.
A few sentences further on Mr.. Blaine
says: Ellis military duties closed on the
memorable field Of Chickamapea-a Geld
which, however disastrous to. the Union
army, gave to him the occasion Of winning

He might with justice have added, as
Garfield would have added: "And to Us,
