THE STATE FAIR.
AN INCREASED ATTEyDANCE-A
DECIDED SUCCESS.
Splendid Trotting Races - Fast
Time Made--The County
Exhibits Etc.

If any have been under the impression
that the State Fair fgr 1856 is less interest
ing than its predecessors, they gravely mis-
take. The stock exhibit as is confessed,
surpasses any of former years in number
of head, variety of breeds and general ex-
cellence. As to the speed programme,
there can be taken no just exceptions-it is
simply splendid, and presents the young
horses of California especially in striking
light and to significant advantage. As to
the Pavilion exhibit, il has been larger in
numl of entries, hut lie Nariety is there
this year as heretofore, with added features
of interest. No one expected so extensive
fruit exhibit, for the reason that several
fruits have failed in the crop, and fruit in
terests have been more or less handicaDped.
Yet the horticultural and viticultural dis
play IS superb. We are too apt to Judge by
contrasts. Let Us estimate the fair
ON its face, and We will find it
to be a splendid exposition. The
Pavilion is not overcrowded with exhibits,
but our great manufacturing branches, the
mineral wealth, the fruit resources, the
vineyard exposition. cur Wool, vine, COIn-
merce, trade strength, inventive and me-
chanical genius, and fine handiwork. are
all thoroughly well represented. Last
night the attendance at the Pavilion was
exceedingly large, and The people lacked
no texts for hours of thought and the
gathering cf useful Information. As 10
art, there has never before been so fine 4
display here, at once so original and de-
serving Il is an art display from studios,
not one Cf borrowed pictures. As for the
curious, tlare is more than enough to salts
fly curiosity, gratify the taste for the mar
velous, and compensate the inquirer into
the wonders of the STATE and its manifold
resources, while as to skilled handiwork by
women there is simply an endless and
brilliant showing.

The desire for fresh vegetables in
spring, is not mere fancy, but is a
craving of the system for healthful
change in the diet 1t is well known
that sailors, who on long voyages
subsist largely, if not solely, upon
salted and dried meats, are attacked
by dreaded disease, the scurvy. for
which fresh vegetables are a ready
cure. The families of many farmers,
are confined during the winter months,
to diet of salt meats, almost as ex-
clusively as are sailors upon pro
tracted voyage. Sailed meats are
convenient; they afford supply Of
animal food with little trouble. and
the pork barrel and the smoke-house
are drawn upon from day to day, with
little thought of the effect upon the
health. As spring approaches, the
desire for fresh vegetables becomes
intense TIE farmer is fortunate if he
has a good supply of cabbages well
preserves; these if eaten raw, as salad
Or coldslaw, will go far to offset the
scorbutic effects of continuous salt

Kale, an excellent nOn-heading
cabbage, which is all the better the
more it is frozen
If cabbages are wintered in trenches,
or in Il collar, in such a manner as to
preserve the stumps, these stumps, if
set out in Il sheltered place in the gar
uen. as early rs the ground can be
worked, will soon produce an album
dance of tender shoots, which are most
excellent greens, and may be cut over
several times. SO with turnips: if
planted out in the same manner, they
will afford acceptable greens. But we
now have in mind those families to
which the garden offers nothing.
Those must hunt the fence-rows or the
pastures, for some green thing. One
of the commOnest wild plants collected
greens, and one of the earliest, is
t. Dandelion, a favOrite with many on

day In the country during the sum
mcr months, when men me on their
holidays. they look forward TO having
at temporary respite from smoking.
Then it does not so much matter how the
temperament is; living so much in the
open air, the smoking of other persons
has little effect on them. and there is
less danger Of infection. II is to keep of
the tlies that men sm"ae on the seaside
and on the hills. Their own weather
beaten eountenances can stand the
flies; but these little demons would not
only spoil the summer for our suscept-
ible wifes and sisters and children. but
would disigure them as well.
That IS what a man cannot enduFe.
You may have seen picnies on the river
OF among the fields, with all the men
smoking and the ladies standing quite
near them. With many men smoking
is merely an excuse for staying at
home. A man looks foolish of an
evening doing nothing; yet he is too
tired TO do much. A cigar supplies tue
amount of labor he requires, and he
does not mind the trouble of smoking
il so long rs ii enables him to stay at
home without loss OF dignity and look
admiringly, and yet undemonstrative-
ly, at his wife. Should a man with
small income be anepicnre, or natural
~ of an irascible temper, it will add
greatly to the happiness of his home if
he compels himself to suoke. And at
present, when times are so hard as TO
affect every one more or less, cigar
is cheap and excellent substitute for
extensive amuSemeuts
