THIRD DAY.

iiiIhb IA
Thursday was the great day, both on
account of the races and the crowd out.
1t is seldom if ever that one sees so many
gathered on the grounds as were there
Thursday. The most of them came early
in the morning and stayed till the free
for-all race was over at Il quarter past six
in the evening.
The trotting began soon after ten
o'clock, when the farmers race-for a
purse of $50; $50 10 first, Sl2 to second.
- to third. 81 to fourth, 81 to fifth-was
called. There were these eleven starters

third money, and the second money went

third heat. 1t was long-drawn-out af-
fair, lasting till nearly two o'clock in the
afternoon. No time was annouced. VIM.

ham of Shoreham and George Hammond
of Middlebury were the Judges.
The address was given by Hon. James
h, Batcheder of Arlington, who was in
troduced by Hon. John W. Stewart and
spoke for about half an hour in an enter
tanning manner. He showed from
statistics that Vermont farmers raise
more wheat. oats and corn to an acre
than do those of Illinois, and therefore
they ought not to be dissatisfied with
their attainments. The decay of hill
farms was alluded TO. This the speaker
did not deplore. as he believed the noun
tains would always he a source of wealth
to the State, even though they grew up 10
timber, for thea they would produce val
liable lumber and the streams that rise in
them would be better fed with water and
thus furnish more power for manufacture
ing purposes. He dwelt ON the impor-
lance of home markets and hence the
necessity of manufactures 10 employ
those who may consume farm products.
In conclusion he pointed out the need of
better schools and highways, and sug-
gested means for their improvement.

ANCE-TIIE EXHIBITS AND RACES.
The forty-second annual fair of the
Addison County Agricultural society,
held on the fair grounds in this village
on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
of the present week, is universally con-
coded to have been one of the best if not
the best in the history of the society. 1t
rained Tuesday morning, but on We'd
nesday the clouds had disappeared and
the last two days the weather was all
that could have been desired-bright and
cool. As will be seen by the lists given
below, the exhibits, particularly in the
lines of fine cattle and horses, were ex-
tensive, thanks to the activity of Presi-
dent Bissell and the other officers of the
society. The races, too, were close and
lnteresting; and the attendance was all
that could have been expected or desired.
FIRST DAY.
tuesday was occupied with the enter
ing and arranging of exhibits. The new
cattle pens erected along the west side
of the track in convenient location
proved to be very useful They were
completely filed.
SECOND DAY.
Wednesday the crowd began to gather
at an early hour and the live stock to come
in. and before noon all the exhibits were
on the grounds. The Judges entered
upon their work at the appointed time.
At II O'Clock came the exhibition of
stations on the track for premiums. Con-
spicuous among them was Motion. which

1t is a good plan to milk COWS
regularly ia the same order, taking
the same one first, and winding up
with the same one every time
Regularity of hour in commencing
the milking of the herd is an al.
vantage in securing the best res.
ults, since animals as we'll as men,
are greatly the creatures of habit,
and when the time comes round,
the COW will desire to be MIXED,
and all the functions of the system
will concur in this desire.
The advice to ke ,lsa p H Sag 6,tqe FL
resulted badly in practice because
not accompanied by strict orders
to manure every year. In the
ordinary rotation, grass and clover
every third or fourth year dimin
ish the necessity for very heavy
manuring. No farmer would think
of blowing an field, except the
orchard, without frequent and
liberal dressings of manure. This
destruction of fertility is worse
for orchards than for any other
part Of the farm. Fruit trees will
grow we'll enough in loose cnltiva
ted soil without manure, but when
it comes to bearing, the fruit, ard
especial the seed 5, require some
mineral constituents which poor
soil cannot furnish. This is one
reason, aside from insects, why so
much fruit falls off soon after it
sets. The trees blossom so freely
that they cannot perfect the fruit
If the soil were richer, thinning
fruit would be necessary much
more often than it is.
Pumpkins may be made a most !
valuable crop for feeding COWS and
are Invaluable for swine, as they
arc hcalthful and fattening and
provide considerable heterogeneous
elements in their seed which offsets
the want Of these in the corn. The
lliuretic effect Of the seed is also
useful as assisting to carry Oft i'm
pure matter from the blood. This
effect Of the seed, popula rly sup
posed to be injurious to COWS, is
only so when the seed is eaten in
excessive quantity, as when it is
thrown out from pumpkins prepar
ed for drying. An acre of pump
1ins planted without any other
crop may be expected to yield
,wenty to forty tons, according to
he fertility of the soil and the cul-
,ivation given. Six and seven feet
apart is u good distance for the
Hills. This gives 1000 to the acre,
md five sixteen pound pumpkins
o the hill is not an uncommon crop
pnder favorable circumstances.

THE HOME ADVOCATE
FARMERVILLE, LOUISIANA
FRIDAY JUNE !
: An Enjoyment Which no Farmer
Should deny Himself.

Farmers of all classes should en-
JOY the luxuries Of a garden, yet
the majority Of them do not grow
enough fruit and vegetables for a
table supply and in some sections
they buy them from the cities.
They can not buy as well as they
can produce. There is quite diff
t.ltnce between fresh vegetables
from the Garden and those hand
led, bruised and shipped to dis
tances. The farmer who is salts
fed to sit down to his table with
pork and beans as an every day
diet simply denies himself the en-.
ioymentS which his calling allows
lin, AS the busy season of spring
sets in. the farmers are usually too
engrossrd to give their attention to
so small! q matter as garden, but
we can assure them that, insignifi
. cant as a garden may seem, it con-
tains more that adds to the en- JOY
nent of life on the farm than any
thing else produced upon it. The
cardenlcss farmer knows nothing
of delicacies. He satisfies himself
with very little, and compeis his
family to do the same, yet Is sur
priscd when his children seek Oc-
cupation in the city where they
find more enjoyment and live up
on a variety of food. The farmer
has an advantage over his city
brother for enjoying luXurics. Tie
strawberry. raspberry and all tn"
varieties Of fruits may be placed
npon his table daily if lie will have
them, but he overlooks those
things that are within his province
and allows others to enjoy what he
should have in abundance. Far
mers, do not overlo ok the garden
Devote space to the garden even
if some other crop must be sacri-
