THERE is a feeling akin to despair
among the farmers of this county. For
the last three years fully one-half the
farms of this county have failed to pay
expenses and furnish the means of live
hood to their owners. Cheese has not
paid as well as usual the last year, while
the great amount of labor it requires
and the unreasonable hours when it is
performed, make this industry unpopular
Then the uncertainty OF crops is proving
most discouraging. Those who have
timber fit for ship-building are safely
tiding over the hard times. But the
smaller farmers not having this source o.
revenue are plunging deeply into debt
and can perceive no means of checking
the downward tendency. Farms which
their owners would not lhink of parting
with some years ago are now in the mar
ket for sale and many of them are plas-
tered with mortgages. It is difficult to
| see from what direction relief is to come

years last past. He quits Office with as

His duty was his first consideration and
personal matters were entirely subordin-
ated to this. His official acts will bear

meet the deficit. The secretary explains
shat to the increased premium list and
the permanent improvements made are
due the increase of disbursements. The
amount paid for premiums in 1888 is S4O6
greater than what was paid for the year
preceding. No stock has been sold for
some years and the report questions the
advisability of doing 80 now as means
OF meeting present obligations which can
with care be easily discharged next year.
4 marked improvement in the stock of
the county is noticeable, q result very
largely due to the Fair. The Fair is not
managed for money making purposes

various ways directly to the people.

Of the plan of engaging an expert to

excellent satisfaction given this year.
