As it is, however, the best policy is Lor all to join in an cil'orl to make up in the future what has Ieeu lost, in the past. Fanners ihroughoui liic county can do wonder:-, it'ihey will. To :i good farmer, the poetical pride in "herds and waving lields"1 is not less real than poetical. But proud as must be the possessor of rich lands and fine stock at all times, he never feels fuller than when his products are spread!

the annual lair, bo it is with thei

.•liouse-wife. and in no less degree with the mechanic. And as the interest increases with the number of the competitors, it is but proper that all classes should seek to make the entries as full as possible.

It is true, as urged by many, that the premiums offered, in many cases, do not pay for the trouble and expense of preparing the articles for •exhibition, but there is a knowledge gained by comparisons and practical tests at fairs which is worth more than the premiums. The exhibition •of a good article is the most effectual advertisement that can be given it. It matters little to the owner of a line sheep or hog if he gets a premium of only ten dollars when he should have tiftcen, if the exhibition enables him to double his 6ales, as it surely will. "While we admit that there are works of art and mechanism which receive practically no encouragement cither here or at other fairs, we urge upon all to drop all complaints for the time and sec what a united effort will accomplish. Arrangements have been made for furnishing reports of cach day's proceedings, yvith a list of the premiums awarded, at the grounds, so that every person will have an opportunity to learn just what is being done. This arrangement, in view of the fact that it is sometimes two, three or four weeks before a full, list of premiums is published, cannot fail of being a satisfactory and attractive feature of the fair. So let preparations be commenced immediately and continued up to the last moment, to make this the best exhibition Montiromcrv county has ever had.

INDIANA,

By reference to the report ot proceedings of the last meeting of the Montgomery County Agricultural Society, it will be seen that the officers are making extraordinary efforts to insure the success of the approaching exhibitions, in October. No more welcome announcement could be made to the industrial classes of the county. Montgomery has hitherto been behind many of the ties of the State in her annual fairs. The Society has been in debt, and it ... ..
