COUNTY FAIRS. Criticisms Reviewed---Cattle. ‘[Continued from‘last week.) 3 Speaking of this class, your correspondent says: L ~“In the cattle class more should be done for Native Stock, while not negiéct,i’ng breeds for beef, milk and buter. e How is this? “More should be done for native stock,” while those for beef, milk and butter, should perhaps receive a passing notice. lam not sure that I understand this exactly, yet I do not know but it is in keeping with the balance of the. article. But for 'what purposes do we raise or keep cattle if not for those rvgiy purposes mentioned—beef, milk and butter? We seldom work them, never speed them, and for the life of me I do not see what he is going toi do with the “natives.” Why do anything for them? We have the Duchess and Durhams for beef, the Ayershires and Aldernéy’s for the dairy, milk, and butter; each, by far, superseding all others—especially the *“natives”—for the several purposes designated. What say figures? What is a native three-year-old bull good for, or what is he worth? Just simply what he will bring to work up into bologna sausage, say from twelve to eighteen dollars, according to size. 'What is a native cow worth? From fifteen to twenty dollars, and it costs just as ‘much to raise one of these animals as to raise a: thoroughbred Duchess or Durham, a good one of which is worth, at the least calculation, three hundred dollars, and from that up to five or more thousand. A thoroughbred cow is worth, at least two hundred dollars, and are often sold at extraordinary prices. One at Utica, N. 7Y, in August last, ‘was sold for forty thousand. ' |

But your correspondent may claim that the above prices are out of the reach of the mass of farmers. But T deny it. The farmers, who can be called such and are worthy the name, are few, and especially of those who make any pretentions to the raising of cattle, but can buy a cow worth two hundred dollars, and some one in the neighborhood an animal of the opposite sex worth a thousand or more. This done, and the time would not be far distant when the country could be pretty fairly supplied with a good quality of stock, which would not only be a credit to the community but would quadruple, if not quadruplicate, its financial interests in that direction. I said worthy the name. It is true, the man who makes it a business to raise stock and raises mnothing but native breeds is scarcely worthy of the proud-title of farmer; will always be poor, and destitute of enterprise. This rule will apply equally to the rearing of all kinds of stock—horses, cattle, sheep and hogs. - Your correspondent’says there must be a new departure in horse racing; says some independent journals had given their testimony against it, and quotes the New York and Illinois State Fairs as examples of success without it. See what he says on this subject: i “The receipts of thie Illinois State Fair, $29,238 —57,288 more than last year, and $4,000 more than at any former exhibition of the Society—tell the story of a varied and extensivedisplay, and it was made without the slightest assistance from horse jockeys, fat horsemen, snake charmers, or mammoth sows.” i b

Now, go back, reader, if you please, and read this over; see if you can discern liberal thought and enterprise in the expressions. The language tells the story. And, as he says, look on that picture and then on this. I will cenfront his quotation with one from the correspondent of the Turf, Farm and Field, that you may the better judge of the reliability of some of the assertiong and representations.

“The State Fair Association of Peoria, Illinois, of which Messrs. Richard Whiting and Nelson Burnham are the great moguls, is organized with a capital stock of $50,000 and is the owner in fee of the grounds and buildings, which are placed at the disposal of the stock board for 1873 and 1874, A striking feature of the Fair just closed is the ruling out ef agricultural horse trots and the exclusion of all shows from the grounds. The citizens of that locality, however, determined not to be cheated out of their accustomed yearly sport, clubbed together and hung up a string of purses, at the Union Driving Park, which were duly contested and keenly enjoyed by the Peorians, who left the fair in a body every afternoon to attend the racing. * * * The first meeting of the above named association opened on Tuesday, September 16th, under the most favorable auspices, the weather being cool and pleasant. ' The first day’s races called out an immense crowd, as did in fact each succeeding day. The ladies of Peoria know how to appreciate the efforts of the enterprising proprietors of the track in providing good races, and they turned out in large numbers, which gave the grand stand a very lively appearance; and one pleasing to the eye of the sterner sex.” This correspondent next gives an account in detail of the different races, and e¢loses as follows: ;

“$2,525 were paid in premiums, the weather has been delightful, the races very close and exeiting, the gate receipts satisfactory, and the people have come and gone satisfied with the week’s sporf, and the proprietors congratulate themselves upon having contit?cted one of the nﬁ%s_ti guccedﬁf:;l meetings ever held in Illinois, outside of Chicamnd the attempt will be made to. ap $40,000-in purses at their summer meeting of 1874.” | Now, Mr, Editor, here are a few things worthy of mote. In the first ‘place, your eorrespondent has attempted to show that the State Board of Agriculture of Illinois have had a ‘greater success, financially, thée past “year than formerly on account of ex‘eluding horse trotting and side shows,

as he calls them, from the grounds. Bat is it so? I think not. In the first place, they have had better trotting, and more of it, than at any former State Fair in the State. Not all of it upon _gtheir own grounds, it is true, but so much the worse for them. . A great many attended the horse Fair e;',jrery day who visited the State Fair diy one or two days, and some not even that, consequently that was lost ‘to the State Fair; besides, every person who had any desire to witness the racing had the same opportunity, and Dbetter, than if it had oecurred upon the State Fair grounds;, . = - In reply to this statement, “without the slightest assistance from the horse! jockeys, ete.,” I quote from a correspondent: : PEORIA; ILL., Sept. 30,1873.— At the State Fair lately held in this city, the Committee of the State Board of Agriculture offered a premium of a gold medal for the best four in hand. The ofitries for this were the teams of F. G. Welch and Jas. Wadsworth, both of Chicago.. Two heats were trotted, and were won. easily by Mr. Wadsworth, the first heat in a little over four minutes and the second in 3:46. The next, a purse of $3OO for the best six in hand —s2oo to first and $lOO to second. The entries for this were the two above named and another, a Mr. Hall’s, of Yates City. Two heats were trotted, Mr. Wadsworth winning the first prize and Mr. Hall the second.

_'Nbw, the above not only shows fal%god and misrepresentation, but ‘extréme folly, and a waste of mouey never before thought of, to my knowledge, and is only a sample of what might be expected on the part of an old fogy committee, such as controlled the State Fair of Hlinois for 1873. Such teams are never brought into requisition. No time was made; blood was not tested, consequently it was a total loss to the Societies, as also to the owners, except the prize money.

Again, they have pot only had the best of assistance from the fast horse, but the growing interest and popularity also, that the past few years have been developing, the last one of which has been unprecedented in the annals of history, in our country. How does the Illinois State Fair, with its “varied and extensive display,” compare with several horse Fairs? The receipts at Cleveland exceeded fifty thousand ydollars, while thc()lse of Buffalo were over sixty thous and. o :

‘Next, and in this conpectidn: How is it with our own State Fair at Indianapolis for the year 1873? lln years past they hayve offered premiums for speed in connection with others, not large by any means, but sufficiently so to call out a pretty fair class of horses. - And the Fairs vrere invariably a success. But, alas! for this one, it has been a total failure. It is estimated that the State Fair sunk twenty thousand dollars.and the Exposition over fifty thousand. And why isit? The following, from an Indianapolis correspondent, tells the story: - . INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 20, 1873.—The Indiana Exposition has been in operation since the 10th inst., and up to Friday last was about as slow, lonely, and ' deserted-looking affair as one -would wish to visit. The Board of ‘Managers, like 80 many old fogies, unfortunately selected directors of expositions‘and agricultural fairs, inclined to the opinion that horse racing was entirely unnecessary, as well as immoral, ‘and determined to ignore it entireiy. -Ever since the inauguration of the Exposition, a number of our prominent horsemen have urged upon thé managers the propriety of giving a small purse to be trotted for, two or three times a week, and in view of the continued beggarly attendance, .they were induced to hang up a purse of $lOO, free for all roadsters; race to come 0& Friday afternoon, 19th inst. The result was a complete success; and should have convinced the management that a Fair without the attractions of a horse race is a good i' deal like producing the play of Ilam"let with the character of the Prince of Denmark left out. Although the purse was small and fast time not expected, by two o’clock several thousand persons had assembled in the amphitheatre and along the quarter streteh. Abouf three o’clock the contestants were called up to start. But ilittle scoring was indulged in, every heat was closely contested, and the audience well pleased with the entertainment. L :

Your correspondent heads his article “County Fairs,” and then attempts to quote the success of State Fairs to’ prove his points. Admit for a moment, for the sake of argument, that heiias not misrepresented the cause of the success of State Fairs, would a comparison between the two be a just one? By no means. In the first place, those States he has named (but mind you he did not name Indiana) have each an organization with a heavy capital stock—are rich. ~They offer large premiums, $l5O each for the best thoroughbred bull and cow, and corresponding premiums on different cattle, of both sexes, down to calves, and then on herds (all thoroughbreds, however). Corresponding premiums are given on horses of diffexent breeds, and for different purposes—brood mares, colts, and so on; also, heavy prémiums on improved sheep and hogs. And in those States they have the best horses there are in large numbers, from the finest thoroughbreds to the best quality of heavy draught horses—horses that are many of them worth their thousands apiece, some reaching the enormous sum of forty or fifty theusand. Cattle, also. York State produced the cow that was sold for $40,000, at Utica, _Those States manufacture largely, also, all kinds of agricultural implements, and other machinery of science and art, and have on the gr‘cgmgis facilities for operly Mnﬁ g it. © Their heavy pre‘minms bring this mﬂ?ﬁrialtallm.{sg{& Y 8 any person, who {m_a a spark -of admiration or benevolence .about lﬂmi,hw travel hundreds of miles to 1) o ; .

But how is it with our county Fairs? How is it} with our own? which I presume is a fair sample of others. Wehad no capital stock to' commence | with; as a society, we were poor and _pennil®ss, or, in fact, we had no society. A few enterprising ones, seéing the need of an agricultural society, had to commence it. They made an arrangement for the grounds and set tor work to building| the fence and track, and otherwise preparing them, several m@mber§ working faithfully for \veeksi_w}'it#(‘?m charge, never receiving a penfn;P{ for their labor. They got things in readiness as best they could, then organized and prepared a premium list. In this it was necessary to exercise a good deal of care. In the tirst place, it was necessary to offer «ds liberal inducements as possible to get out what stock there was in the county (for there was but little), also farm products and other things necessary to encourage at such places. On the other hand, it would not do to offer more in premiums than they could expect to be able to pay, for if by any reason they failed to do.so, for want of patronage, which is the only -source from which they could expect to pay them, a perfect tornado of _anathemas were heaped upon the offi~cers. DBut the officers could congratulate themselves upon one thing: In about nine cases out of ten, those finding the most fault were those having the least oceasion for it—persons who had nothing to exhibit, or if anything, some’ poor, worthless, native trash ;that was a disgrace to the exhibition. Now, here is the difference. Those State Boards are independent. They can, although ever so short-sighted and foolish to do so, reject one-half of the best stock and agricultural interests of the State, and yet have a large exhibition, while county Fairs may . offer as liberal premiums as .possible on everything worthy and attractive within their jurisdiction, and, comparatively, it will be but a small show. Again, there is a good deal of harping about “side shows,” as they eall them. Now, if we pay premiums, as I before stated, we must have money to pay them with. If we have but, little money, the_;ﬂ premiums must be few and- small, and, vice versa, it we have sources by which we ecan secure a larger amount of money, we can offer premiums accordingly. Can any blame be attached to the management of our Society in this particular? I think not. But let us look at our last Fair. There were the two-legged horse, the several eating stands, and a swing. Was there anything immora] or demoralizing in either of thesé in-, stitutions? Were not most of them even convenient ? besides, collectively, they added arevenue to the Society of about $l5O. So far as my knowledge extends, our officers have been very particular in this respeet, especially for the last few years, not to admit anything upon the grounds that they had the least reason to suspect was immoral or demoralizing, and nothi‘rig but what, was under their control and subject to removal at any time if not properly conducted. 2 ‘ [TO BE CONTINUED.] :

~ 'The Temperance €Crusade. : - [Fro'nh the N. Y. Worlgl.] The irreverent and now thirsty tippler of Ohio is already consoling him- | sglf with the thought that ‘ | “When this whisky war is over i You bet we 1l all get drunk again.” And it is very reasonable to'presume that he will get very drunk indeed if his enforced abstinence is much prolonged. But if neither the.hbabitual drinkers of liquor nor the sellers of liquor are converted by the prayers of the women, there is no reasen why some good may not come of the movement. As a most emphatic expression of the opinion of the sex whose | opinion has weight in all social matters, it can hardly fail: to make some converts from the intemperdte to the temperate use of alcoholic liquors. If nothing more than this were attempted, very much might be accomplished. But in seeking to destroy a traffic which is harmful mainly in its abuse the women have manifested an intemperate zeal in behalf of temperance which is more than likely to bring their efforts into derision with many persons. Now that women have be_come members of the farmers’ granges, however, they have it in their power to lessen the evils of a custom which they cannot destroy. The worst features of intemperate drinking in this country seem to result not so much from the quantity as from the quality of the liquor drank. If the Western women would advocate the cultivation of vineyards and the manufacture of native wines and brandies, a real benefit might be done to the men "whom they vainly endeavor to-convert “to total abstinence.

- Homestead Bill Passed. < Mr. Townsend, of Pennsylvania, flnally succeeded in passing his homestead bill. The measure virtually abTogates the pre-emption land system, and reserves the public domain for actual settlers. It is true that the President still has power of offering ‘lands at public sale, but it is hot likely that this right will be exercised. Two important amendments were adopted ; one offered by Mr: Beek;, which excludes the iron-clad oath as a test and leaves the public domain open' to ' southern men; another offered by, Judge Holman, which declares that the public land hereafter granted to railroad corporations or to States for their use and benefit, which have been forfeited for faflare to comply with the conditions of the grant, shall. be subject to the provisions of the homestead bill. It is stated that there are ‘many millions of actes of choice land from which settlers are now excluded, falling under this deseription, among .the others the old St. Croix grant.

. CHARLES SUMNER. = A great man has - fallen. ?C!llhrlés Sumner, Senator from Massachusetts, died in Washington City, on Wednesday, March 11th, in the 64th year of his age. Twenty-three years consecutively he has rlfel'd,_thg. exalted: place in which deathifound him, and during all that time he has been a ¢ons¥icuous. figure in American history. He had achieved all the fame that he could possibly acquire, for not even the Presideney could have added anything to it. He had lived to see the great labor of his life crowned with full fruition. His life had been no fitful fever, but a well-rounded, noble, and calm achievement, and he sleeps well; -~ = [ o

~_ Mr. Sumner was born’ in Boston, Jan, 6, 1811,and had just entered upon his 64th year. "When a boy he attended the Boston Latin School, and thence entered Harvard College, where he graduated. in~1830.. His father was' a lawyer, and the- son adopted the same profession. A year after closing his collegiate course he entered Cambridge Law School, of whicli Judge Story was then a Professor, In 1834, being then 23 years old, he was then admitted to the Bar. He was, in- addition to his’ legal acquirements, a scholar, an orator, and a man of large literary acquirements. Ile was alsolaborious. e soon: enjoyed -a large practice. He published three . volumes ‘of Massachusetts Circuit. Court *re*)or‘ts, containing the decisions of Judge Story. He was- also editor bf:the quarterly journal called the American Jurist. During several “winters, while Judge Story was absent at Washington, Mr. Sumner took his place as leeturer in the Law School, and “also; in the occasional ' absences of Mr, Greenleaf, had sole charge of the school. In 1836 he declined ‘a .professorship in tlhie Law School, and: next year visited Eu‘rope.‘ During his stay there, which e¢ontinued. until' 1840, he resided in Italy, Germany,and France,giving an entireyear to England. ‘He resumed hislaw practice on his return, and in 1844--6 edited an edition of “Vesey’s Reports” in twenty volumes. I"ﬁe" had, up to 1845, taken no part inpolities. Inthat vear he delivered anoration on the 4th. of July on the “True Grandeur of Nations™ in which he denounced war as a'means of arbitrament of international contrqversies. and- insisted that, as peaceful appeals to civil tribunals had ‘taken the place of the wager of battle between [individuals, so - peaceful arbitration should be ‘substituted -for war in the deteymination of international matters. | The oration was a finished literary production, and: this faet, and the subject of the discourse. itself, attracted o it great attention i this country and Europe. As an orator he | was spon in demand, and .other public addresses followed inrapid succession.

Inl 1845, after the.election ef Mr. Polk to the Presidency,the annexation of Texas became a part of the defined. policy of 'the ‘Democratic party. In November, 1845, just before the meeting of Congress which was fo execute. that policy, Mr. Sumner delivered an. oration in ‘Faneuil- Hall, Boston, in opposition to'the annexation of Texas as g slave State.: In 18406, Texas was admitted into the Unioi. - Mr. Sumner wigl now fairly enlisted in the war against slavery,and in' 1846 he addressed the Massachusetts. Whig State Convention 1n favor of taking bold ground against ‘slavery. The Whigs of Massachusetts, although opposed to slavery, were not Abolitionists, and adhered to the Natioral ‘Whig policy of non-action: on -that subject. The Democratic party in- Massachusetts at that time was in a_ minority, but -not powerless as now. -It then had many able leaders, including N. P. Banks, George S. Boutwell, Kobert Rantoul, Marcus Morton, B. F. Hallett, and others. Boston was- then represented in Congress by Robert €. Winthrop, a Whig, who voted in 1846 for the declaration of .war with. Mexico. For this vote Mr. Sumner dénpunced: him in a published letter. The Mexican War leading to the acquisition of new territory, there was a combinatien in Muassachusetts of .the Democrats and Whigs who were in favor of excluding slavery from the;new territory and from all.the Territories of the United States. This party in 1848 nominated and supported Van Buren and Adamis. Mr. Sumner supported - these : eandidates. In 1850, Mr. Webster resigned his seat'in the Senate of the United States to become Secretary of State tunder Fillmore. The .Governer of Massachusetts appointed Mr. Winthrop to fill the vacancy until the Legislature should meet. : The eoalition of’ Democrats and Free-Soil:--Whigs made a successful fight that year, electing Boutwell gs Governor; N. P. Banks. and several other Democrats as methbers of Congress, and a Free-Soil Legislature. This Legislature was occupied: several weeks in tryingto fill the vacaney in the-Senate,;and at last elected ‘Robert S. Rantoulto fill the unexpired term ending March, 1851, and Charles Sumner for the long term beginning: Marehi B, 1851 o iil a it Mr. Sumner made his appearance in the Senate in December, 1851. At that time John P. Hale and Salmon P. Chase were in the Senate, andgthese three were. the sole representatives of the Free-Soil party. Neither party recognized them and they were assigned to no commiittees. .On a bill to repeal the fugitive Slave law of . 1850, which had been passed as one of the compromise measures, Mr. Sumner made an elaboratéspeech attacking the whole institution of slavery. In ‘1854, upon the proposition to -abrogate the Missouri compromise line of 86:30, he and Mr. Chase were conspicuious in the debates. Thebill; however, passed, and then began-the war in Kansas,— the struggle: between the Free State men and the border-ruffians i‘i&r its possession. In 1856, he delivered his oreat speech, “The Crime Against Kan-sas,”-taking two days in its delivery. The speech was delivered May 19 and 20, and on May 22, while sitting at his. desk in the Senate Chamber, engaged in writing,he was approached by Preston S.. Brooks, a Representative in congress from 'South " Carolina, who ‘proceeded to beat him oyver the head and shoulders with . a heavy guttapercha cane. Mr. Sumner was o seat‘ed that he could not rise, and in a few minutes he fell insensible to the floor. ‘From the injury thus received Mr. ‘Sumneér ‘never fully recovered. He ~was unable to resume his seat at.that or the succeeding. seasion] but, his term expiring i Match, 1857, the Legfslature of Massachusetts, by nearly unanimous vote, re-elected him.+ He went to. Europe i;‘ggflarch, 185%; and the suceeéding ‘winter occupied his seat in the Senate for abrief time. In ‘May, 1858, he ‘again ‘went to Europe. ‘and ' placed’ himself under medical treatment in Paris, and remained there until ‘the close of 1859. His health “was then seemingly restored. In the ‘session of 1859-60 he made his celebrated speech entitled the “Barbarism of Slavery,”—undoubtedly the greatest

effort of his life. This speech, more than any otger document of the period, embodied the conscience, the an- . ger, and the indignation of the North. It had an imimense circulation in the campaign literature of the year 1860, and 'contribi.:ted powerfully to the’ election of Lincoln and Hamlin. It may be confidently predicted that it will live as long as the United States has a history-' In th¢ reorganization of the Senate, March, 18¢1,the Republicans, for the first time, were in a maJjority in that body, with a Republican as presiding officer. . Mr. Sumner was tade Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, which place he filled to the honor of the country during the War, and until a few years ago, when he was removed by order of a caucus of Republican Senators, at . the instance of; the President,-and the place given to Simon Cameron,—a transaction vastly shameful to all con-. cerned in it. ° .

.During the War, Mr. Sumner was a -consistent . supporter of all measures looking to ;the emancipation of the slaves. In 1862, he had the satisfaction of securing the repeal of the Fugitive |Slave law. After the Rebellion had cclosed, he took an active partin maturing the reconstruction measures, and from the first to the last, even to the last hour of his official life, he sought to incgrporate in the national law a mandatory recognitioh of the social as well as the legal equality of the’ colored race. ¥From 1864, he had endeavored to ‘have. negro suffrage made part of the Constitution, and it was not until some years later that he could get the concurrence of the required -number of ' Séwators in . that propositions Since 1870, he has at ev-_ ery session labored earnestly to have his “Civil Rights” bill enacted, that the colored citizens may have legally the same rights in hotels, in all public conveyances, and in all public places, that | are conceded to the whites. Several times during the present session he has endeavored to have this bill considered. ‘The, last public service he rendered was an appeal to the Senate against the confirmation- of Simmons as Collector of the Port of Boston. Some two years ago, Mr. Sumner projposed* in the Senate a joint.resolution directing the omission from the futurearmy registers of the names of battles in the / late Civil War in which the seyveral regiments of the regular army. hi‘d participatedi This resolution evoked a vast quantity of cheap and wordy: loyalty, and the Massachusetis Legislature passed a series of resolutions censuring Mr. Sumner for his conduct. The Legislature, at-its present session, - ' has had the good sense to rescind the resolutions of cénsure, and these re- . scinding resolutions were presented to Longress a few days ago. Mr. Sumner’s term of office would have expired - March 3, 1875, and. the Legislature to be elected this fall would have been: elected on the issue of re-electing him Lor not.- It is almost certain that he would have been re-elected.

He walked on a higher plane than Mr. Seward. He went deep-er-into the merits of the anti-slavery cause than Mr. Chase. He was the most inflexible man of his time, as well as the most polished and erudite of :his contemporaries. His industry was even more vast than his learning. His personal purity-was so far above reproach Ftklﬂt he was never even ac- . cused of dishonor. The only flaw that - could be found in his otherwise unassailable 'fame "was personal vanity. Few statesmen have been better justified in holding themselvesin high esteem than Mr. Sumner; and when we look back at the turmoil in which he moved, and note the petty devices which men in his station commonly employ to secure political ends and personal advancement,— devices to~ which he was utterly a stranger,—this weakness can be readily -pardoned.

AMoNe all the ways and machines T have tried for washing clothes I find nothing equal to a barrel and pounder. Bore six or seven inch and a half or larger into the end of 'a six or eight - inch sapling (I use butternut, it bores | easily and is hgndy),two or threeinch- | es deep, then bore a three-fourth inch side hole through to the bottom of the large ones to'let out:.air and water -when pounding. The pounder should be six or eighti’ inches long :or high, made a little tapering, and a hoop-iron band put around it near the top. For a handle I use a common hoe handle, such as I can buy at stores for a dime. I use a strong oil barrel to pound in; it is cheap and strong, makes a good water barrel, or convenient to put dirty clothes in. Soap your clothes ‘well, and put into your barrel just warm water enough or thoroughly wet the clothes. In washing this way persons generally use too much water; it then makes hard, sp]ashin'i_ work. -If the water gets too dirty, change it, of course. If great| double-fisted men, with weak or even strong and healthv ‘wives and families, would provide and, use this simple thing, I think they would bless the, day they first triedit. “Cor.
