number of novelties, among them an
iron Turbine wind engine, the Buckeye
lit and force pump. Il remarkably ettic-
lent piece OF machinery, the Buckeye
lift pump of iron, and the Buckeye lift
pump made of wood, bat arranged to be
attached to all iron pipe instead of the
wooden stocks heretofore i'll use. This
pump attracted great attention, and I'M
doubtedly is just what is needed in this
neighbOrhood. 1t can be attached either
to driven pipe, or used with the IRON
pipe in an ordinary well. 1t is said that
there are now over one Thousand Of them

This proved to be the most interesting
a most pleasing and entertaining matter,
and to scores and hundreds one of in
struction. To watch the working of the
bees appealed to act as a fascination to
many people, and many whom we could
name passed hours and hours in the tent.
The exhibit was about as follows, to put
it briefly as our space demands The

LIVE STOCK, POULTRY. &c.
In the stock department the exhibit
both in quantity and quality was far
ahead Of any former year. Notwith-
standing the fact that some twenty five
or thirty additional pens were put up
this season, all were filed and a large
number of cattle were sheltered in tenn
porary shedding put up by the exhibit
ors. 1t would be difficult to get together
at county fair a finer lot of horses and
cattle than those shown here this season.
