The Farm and Household. ABOUT HOLDING FAIRS. We have been requested to give our opinion of the Noble County Fair, as ~at present conducted. But as we feel our inability to treat the subject ds we would like, we will append a short article from “Agricola,” in the Cincinnati Enguirer of October 15th, which treats the .matter more ably and gives our opinion more fully than we could were \we to do our best. ll}e says: Th qustiOn has often presented itselfl to my mind: Are our County Fairs a real benefit to the farmers or not? I/ believe in them, and know that they might be made an'educating inﬂ};ence', and also stimulate the farmers to more earnest and intelligent effort to make farming what it ought to be, but as at present managed the County Fair is but little better than a circus, a place where the farmers take their families to spend a day in sight;seeing. The Fairs are generally run 'for the purpose of making money, and “the true object, that of bringing a better system of agriculture and better implements before the farmer, takes the back ground. Here is a picture of one of these annual gatherings, as I have seen it: As you approach the entrance, for a.hundred yards or more,

.you encounter-a row off drinking and . gambling shanties, unless, as is the case in many instances, they are admitted to the Fair grounds for a consideration. You enter the gate and find “nigger minstrels,” “big snakes,” “fat women,” “three-horned cattle,” “dancing dogs,” and a multitude of other ‘“great moral institutions” in full blast, their agents deafening you with their cries as they proclaim the merits of their exhibitions. The horse . ring is the center of attraction, and there from morning till night a lot of professional . jockeys, who have no more interest in farming than they - have in good morals, are driving in a way that ought to bring them to the notice of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.- A large proportion of the money offered for premiums is usually given for speed, and betting is generally free. I have before me the premium list of the .. ‘Preble County Agriéultural Society - and find that $340 is offered in premiums for speed, .the first preminm being $lOO and the second $5O. While for the best stallion $l5 is-the highest and " the best mare or gelding $B, the best thoroughbred bull (812, and the best boar $B. In looking over the premiunm list of poultry, ¥egetables and fruit—- - both green and preserved, the highest premium is two dollars, for display of - fall and winter apples, while in the line of preserved fruits thirty-five magnificent premiums of fifty cents eachiare offered. Under the following heads: specimens of grain, sugar, ‘nolasses and honey; domestic manufactures; needle, shell and wax work ; cooperage, wooden ware, ete.: blacksmithing, and boots, shoes, hats and clothing, two dollars is the highest premium offered, while a large majority of them are but fifty eents or one dollar. In farm implements five dollars is offered: for the best reaper, the —same for the best mower, threshingmachine and plow; and the other préemiums range from fifty cents up to three dollars. The offers for field crops are more liberal, twenty dollars being offered for the best acre of corn, and twelve dollars for the best acre . of wheat. The logical conclusion from . looking over such a premium list (and © this i 8 a pretty fair sample of all) would be either that a fast horse was the most important thing for the far‘mer or that our Fairs are not man- . aged in his interest; arnd as we all kndw that the first proposition is false, we must fall back on the last one—.l believe that the influence of these ~gatherings, where everything is made . to hinge upon the “horse ring,” is per/s nieious, and that a large majority of _ | ouri thoughtful farmers feel it to be ; so. - I also know that it is often easier ¢ to point out a disease than to give a cure, but in this case the remedy is simple and in your own hands, - The _trouble is that the farmers do not attend the eléctions and see that the right' men are put in to manage the affairs of these county societies, and speculators are allowed ‘to carry the elections. There i no doubt but what a majority of farmers could be had in every case. Elect then the right men; then offer premiums for such things . as are worthy; try to induce farmers \ to experiment, and report results ;.and |, although you may not be able in one | year to work the needed reform, yet , in time success will erown your ‘ef- - forts, and good, great and lasting, will be the result. : , . Now, inasmuch as we have contracted a disease, we feel like offering a prescription. . . . We suggest that at the next election of officers, we just say: We want good men from each township for Directors; -we want to give them a reasonable compensation for their ser- * vices; select your men, then instruct and require the Secre}:ary to write to o eac{x one and get a positive answer whether he will act or not; if any onethus chosen cannot serve, let the executive Com. select another, and so continue until you get a definite promise that all will serve. This done, and, - our word for it, if it is in their power, every fellow will be at his post in due season. Then instruct them as to what are their respective! duties, provide them with comfortable quarters, and have them sit one, two -or three hours -each consecutive day, as the emergency may require, and we Z(zez'tainly think that a vast deal of the dissatisfaction that has always mani. fested itself at our Fairs will iy, a great measure be obviated. . Jick.

HOME-MADE WIND-MILL, Farmers and others can, in many cases, construct wind-mills for a tithe ~ of the cost of the patented plans, that, for certain purposes, would suit them better, because easily kept in repair, Here is the suggestion of a.plan which can be constructed for five dollars besides the material the farmer can find on his farm and his labor, except- " ing, also, the sails, which properly belong to the maintainance. In order to obtain such a result, all “improvements” must be ruled out. It consists of upright posts snpporting an wupright shaft, having a hub on top car--rying three horizontal arms, to each of which are hinged light rectangular frames covered with héavy muslin or light canvas, regulated to swing in one direction only, from horizontal to perpendicular. The sails are carried with the wind. The post may lean two feet at the top, so as to shorten the connection of the upper box with it. The lower bearing may be in.a post set even with the ground, under the upper bearing. The pulley, four feet in diameter, secured near the bottom of . the shaft, may have a smooth, true groove for. rope-band burnt into its circumference by a hole 1, a pasts the sthoaiy Soung, in a ole in a post, the other in hand, while the middle, in contact with .thg'wh‘eel, is red hot.—Cor, Manufacturer and

FATTENING ANIMALS GRADUALLY. Every farmer who makes the feeding of animals’ an important part Qf his business ought to know that their unremitting growth is the only true and successful way of treating them. This is the course which the most successful porkraisers pursue in feeding their hogs regularly and fully, through winter and summer, till they are' sufficiently fat in the autumn.. Many intelligent persons are accustomed to suppose that poor animals may, in a short time, be changed into fat onesby stuffing them with rich food. The more food they ean make them take in a day or a week they quicker they will become fat and fit for the market. But this is a false opinion, as Bxperiments clearly show. The over-feed-ing is always wasteful; for after the animals gain but little fat, and the owners begin to think that the fattening of them for market is an unprofitable busingss. An owner may withhold the proper quantity of food from his hogs and cattle, and even half starve them for months; and then may change his mode of treating them, with excessive food, and thus hope ‘rapidly to put them into a fat condition; but the attempt will prove abortive, as the growth of the animals from the earliest period of their existence, and their increasing in fat and flesh must continue on without interruption till they are marketable.— Careful observation proves that the profits of raising and fattening cattle and hogs realized only when they are regularly fed from day to day with neither too scant hor too heavy feeding. Some object to this mode of treating their animals. They wish to finish the fattening process in two or three months, and think it is too expensive to continue it for two or three years. This would be the c¢ase if their way of feeding was the correct one; but it is not, for heavy feeding is not requisite to keep up the continued growing condition of the animals. - We have in mind an observing farmer living in Central New York who carefully weighed al] the animals he was fattening every week. To a fine gteer he gave daily four quarts of barley meal, and he found the increase in its weight to be ten pounds per week. He then tried the experiment of giving it eight quarts per day, -and he found the weekly increase of weight was less than when four quarts! were’ given, Twelve quarts were now given daily, and at the end of the weéek there was no gain of flesh. These facts teach all persons who feed «domestic animals that there is such a thing as feeding rtheir stock so largely or heavily that the profits will be less than if thé stock were to receive smaller allowances. When a portion of the feed passes away without having been digested it is a reliablg indication that feed is not consumed as profitably as it should be.—New York Herald. i

.- A Substitute for Quinine: In this climate, where it is believed by strangers that the bells ring periodically for people to take their quinine, asubstitute for this drug will be hailed with joy. = v It i 3 an extract from the bark of the Echises plant, which grows luxuriantly in the Phillipine Islands. It has’been used by the natives under the name of Dita as a remedy for fevers of all kinds. : Prof. Xina, a Spaniard, has experimented with it in a hospital of which he has charge, and found that it had all 'the good effects of quinine, with none of the unpleasant consequences of its use. It is administered the same as quinine, and is ag sure. It is believed that it inay be produced at about half the expense of quinine, whiecly, if true, makes the discovery valuable indeed.— Evansville Courier. . “Hard Times” Cake—One and a half cups of molasses, half a cup shortening, one teaspoon ginger, two teaspoons soda in a ecup of boiling water; this can be made in one large-cake’ or mixed rather stiff, rolled’ out and cut into small cakes. < - TomATOEs should never be cooked in metal of any kind. Pipkins 'and porcelain . lined ware produce much more palatable dishes, and save the tinware. :

" WHEN a farmer boasts how much hay he sells, and how little manure he uses, he is simply stating that he is going to ruin as fast as he can. A. J's Fortune. A correspondent of the Louisville Courter-Journal, writing from Nashville, says: There is much sympathy in Tennessee political eireles, squares and triangles for Andy Johnson, now that the hard earnings of a lifetime has been apparently swept away. His enemies share in the expression of sympathy. Even those who thought he ought to be hung last fall for committing the unpardonable sin of running for Congress, now join'in the deep sympathy everywhere manifested for the old man. That séventy-three thousand dollars was the bulk of his fortune—-four-fifths of it at least. It was the earnings of a lifetime, and all accumulated honestly. Forty years in the public service, and never stole rany-( thing. When Johnson retired from' the Presidency, he had seventy thousand dollars, mostly saved from his salary of twenty-five thousand a year. 'He did not entertain nigardly, nor was he mean or stinted in his personal expenses; and the fact that he could save sixteen or eighteen thousand dollars a year from his salary, gives the lie to the partisans of President Grant, that a man cannot live comfortably in the Presidential office on a salary of twenty-five thousand a year. It should be remembered that the “contingent expenses” of the White House are about twenty thousand dollars a year higher under Grant than under Johnson. ik |

[Received too late for last week.] SUNNY SIDE, Nov. 3. Eprror BANNER:—The past week has been one of very inclement weath er, having rained or snowed pretty much all the time, making it disagreeably winterish ip the strictest'sense of that term. We do hope winter has not set-in for good as the past week would indicate. We hope it-may only serve as a warning to get:our cattle sheds in readiness. :

Farmers generally have only bavely commenced husking corn, and should winter continue,_{cold fingers will be the oxder of the day. The sale dof Uncle Dan. Bilman, deceased, last Friday, was largely attended, considering the very stormy day. Things generally sold for moderately good figures. W. Knappenberger, the auctioneer, was, as usual, in a fine humor and would occasionally excite the crowd to laughter that would make the buttons fly. But he seems to think “Pete,” of the BANNER office, was a little rough on him when he got the impression out through the “birth” column of that paper that he (K.)> was a believer in the Mormon doctrine and has a plurality of wives. Shame! Wes., to try to injure a man who is so religiously inclined; whose chastity is as undoubted, and who is as free from anything immoral as the “hest temperance man in Ligonier”_ig from taking his tri glass of lager and a pretzel. : : L On last Tuesday night thére was to have been Methodist meeting .at our school-house. Quite an audience assembled, but from some unknown cause the minister failed to get there. This is the second disappointment by that denomination at this place. If they expect to get out large congregations their ministers will have to!be more punctual hereafter. . : Frederick Peters, a German, of this neigflborhood, and a very inoffensive and peaceable -citizen, died on last Tuesday night, of lung fever. He leaves a wife and several small children to mourn his loss. - :

—The ability of nearly every man to pay his debts, says an exchange, depends upon his ability to collect debts due him. The individuals of a community are linked together by a chain of debts and credits and in time of depression the refusal of a person to discharge a single liability often embarrasses a line of a dozen debtors and creditors. liences the prompt payment of small debts becomes in times like these a public as well as a private duty. The same money that pays a debt in the morning may pay a dozen before dark, and twelve men are thus relieved of anxiety and pressure by the payment of one obligation.

The ILand Office Department at ‘Washington has made up its books for the year, showing the disposal of 13,030,606 acres of the public lands, as compared with 11,864,075 last year, —an increase of 1,165,631 acres. The cash receipts were $3,408,5615. The principal items in this account are 6,083,356 acres certified to railroads, or almost' one-half the entire amount; 3,793,976 acres to. homesteads; 1,626,266 acres in cash sales, and 653,446 acres located with Agricultural College scrip.
