This can be done by filing in, first defining

Ne,U England Fair at Bangor.

AT a meeting of the executive officers IF
the New England Agricultural Society, re-
Gently held at Boston, it was formally de-
cided TO hold the next fair at Bangor, in
connection with the Eastern Maine Fair
Association. the first week in September
Twice before has the New England Fair
been held in this State, both times at Port.
land. Bangor offers every facility for
holding great fair, and for the accommo-
dation of the people who may attend, and
the officers of the Eastern Fair Association
will do all in their power to make 1t u sue
cess. Heretofore, and We presume 1t will
be so arranged the present year, the local
officers will be charged with the work of
carrying ON the exhibition. With their
former experience and the advantage of
being at home on their own ground, 1t may
be expected that the responsible duties in
volved will be performed with that same
efficiency that has proved so satisfactory
to exhibitors and visitors alike, at the two
fairs held by this association. AT the an
nual meeting of the New England Society
last winter at Boston, there appeared to be
a widespread opposition among the large
number of members of the society present,
to the proposition to 20 to Bangor, on the
ground of location at an extreme point OF
the territory embraced by the society.
Now that it has been decided to 60 to Ban
gor, we trust that such feeling may not
tend to restrict contributions to the exhi-
btion, but that it will be u New England
exhibition in fact as well as in name.

On Green MdnuriHg.

Very little has been done in the State of
Maine in the way of renovatng the soil by
blowing In green crops, hence very ilttie Is
known of the effects of such practice and
less about the mode OF conducting IL.
Arthur Woodcock, then of Ripley, now oil
Clinton, plowed In the grass on two acres,
one acre before and the other after haying.
He told me the last acre produced big
crop and the first one not half crop.
Cyrus Jones, who lived on the other side
OF the road from Mr.. Woodcock's plowed
in several acres before haying, tgreen), and
he told me that 1t took five years to get
that land back to as good condition for
crop as it was when he plowed in the
green grass.
| once helped man pillow 10 an acre OF
ripe grass in August. The next spring
helped him cross pillow it anc plant to po-
tatoes. II was completely rotted, worked
easy and bore good crop. few years
ago there was quite a discussion before the
Board of Agriculture, about the timed TO
cut hay, the mode aud amount OF curing
necessary to fit it so that 1t would keep
well in commonbarn. There were as many
minds upon the subject rs men, and hardly
any two agreed in all the conditions neces-
sary TO have good hay. Some of them had
cut hay and put it in the barn the same day
with good RESULTS while others had made
the same experiments and the hay spoiled
liz the barn. Mr.. Goodale, who was then
Secretary of the Board reasoned in this
way: That the green grass spoiled and the
ripe grass saved we'll with the same
amount of drying.
| think Mr.. Goodaes conclusion will
hold good any where outside OF the silo.
What little evidence | have upon this
question Is all one way, and while don't
claim to be authority npon this question:
still think l am right would recon-
mend that whoever intends to pillow in
grass in hot weather, should let it get fully
as ripe as Mr.. Gilbert would to feed to but
ter cows.-L L. Lucas, in Home Farm

Hollow HORN IN Gathering disease
commonly known as "hollow horn" has no
immediate connection with the horns, as
animals without horns manifest the same
symptoms. The disease in question Is the
result of infamm1 tlon extending from the
mucous membrane lining the nostrils, into
the snuses of the skull and horns, there
being a direct communication between
these parts. Debility, improper and in
sufficient food, exposure, and all other
causes that tend to weaken the system,
may give rise to this condition. The treat
ment must then be such as to counteract
this dtficie ncy, and should consist mainly
OF good nursing. Keep the animal in dry,
warm, well ventilated quarters, pay partic-
Mar attending to carding and brushing,
