HOW THEY “FOOLED” A STRAN- . GER, A strsﬁger froml the—mounuinn came 'rldlng - down, % And stopped to | get his dinner in Montezuma town. . And his touﬁh-haired, raw-boned, played-out, tired and hungry-looking steed, He gent out to the stable to recuperate with feed. It wuln’t such a fancy horse—his joints were very arge, | And hieregs hung out €ach side of him like oars upon a barge. : And the stranger who came riding that nah to Montezuma, : ; Had no exalted opinion ot his qualities, I presume. But when the{ went to chafing him—those sports acrost the Range— . ; That he should get his dander up is nothing very stranﬁ(};. 7 : And when t ei talked of betting that they had a colt *‘right thar” : That could beat his horse, he bridled up with : ‘*‘Gentlemen, I'll swar, A ‘“Altho’ I do n’t mueh keer to run, I never let a banter Blaff me while I have horseflegh that can walk or trot or cauter, - : 5 So if you’ve got a runnin’ horse, or dozen, tret ’em ip, - . ‘ And I'll try to make it lively, even if nary a red I = win? g i

Then like wild-fire spread the rumor, tbrougﬁoﬁt . .. that mining town, : : That they'd canF t a: *‘greeny” napping, and would do h ngbrown, That 't would make his head swim, maybe, for they entertained no doubt ¢ Of their open-and-ghut ability to clean that stranger out. From ﬂft.iy-&ollar greenbacks down to Montezuma sCr. These stz&ed their money lively, with a reckless “Jet her rip.” E And they gathered up their bronchos and every - .nag they had, For they wanted to wax that stranger and his nag mighty bad. - L Then straightway that stranger started with those citizens en masse, : S To find a level spot of ground all covered over with %lrass. *‘For” said he, “‘I reckon we mout as well just let .the critters go, ° "Thout waitin’ any longer, for it muchly looks like snow.” v o« The rivals in that scrub lit out; the stranger gat ' thelead; # g And theﬂ“cgnery" horse developed extraordinary speed. ) . ; He gotl:sway right easy with those Montezuma nags, And that;g:tranger smiled serenely as ne pocketed their rags. . e e e COUNTY FAIRS. Criticisms Reviewed--Miscellaneous. ‘ [Continued from last week.} i Next, one of your correspondents’ says: q L “Each former article has asserted that the men most needed to take an interest and-lead at our Fairs, are indifferent, or worse, toward them, and, first of all, must be overcome before we can have in the least sense a success.” . ; Now if the entire article, of which the above is a part, did not display the most consummate ignorance of what was requisite to. constitute a well organized and properly conducted Fair, or agricultural society, it would' be a perfect insult to its present as also all former officers of the Society. It confirms my former statement as to the class and qnality of men he sympathizes with. Let us see how it stands. | o i

In our first constitution, we were required to elect but one Director from each township inthe county, but in our revised (present) constitution the number is doubled, not because it ¥vas thought that number would be required at every meéting to inanage ‘ the matter successfully, but to create an increased interest in the different ‘ townships, and, from .the whole, to be more sure of a sufficient number to manage the business properly. The officers are elected ‘annually, and in making the selections, the best, systematic, practical men are looked after, and among them such as manifest the most interest in the society, by attending the meetings and Fairs, and furnishing worthy material for exhibition. Next,who are the officers? The premiumiist will tell. From thatlist wesee the following named gentlemen were present to prepare and adopt the premium list for 1873: Andy Engle, Aaron King, Arch. Kinnison, Orlando Kimmel, Abraham H. Smith, Geo. W. Reed, William H. Latta, and John Prough, from the country; in town were J. B. Stoll,- C. Palmiter, and D.. S. Scott. Here are eleven men, a number amply sufficient for the purpose, and if competent, just as good as forty. Seven of the Directors. are farmers; and are they competent? The scriptures tell us, “by their fruits ye shall _ know them.” lam a believer in the scriptures, and if I were inclined to be skeptical I should not be in this instance. I would like your correspondent to point out seven better farmers any Wwhere, as tillers of the soil, and as stock breeders. Show me as good. He can’t begin. These men, too, discharge their duties as Directors without pay, and yet, he says, “the men most needed to take an interest and lead,” &c., “are indifferent, or worsé, and must be overcome; must be paid for their services.” What will those who built/ the fence and prepared the grounds, thih’f of such expressions ? Yet, these|would-be reformers, who, in speaking of fast horses, would talk about “demoralizing the agricultural portion of the Fair;” about “higher and loftier moral planes;” “needed reforms,” and so on, seem to have just risen to the surface where some of our fore fathers stood, in the days of the inquisition, or in the days of witch-craft; some few, perhaps, a little later, to imbibe the ignorance, jealousy and superstition, that actuated the old matron at the camp meeting. Or the same that frightened the deacons and matrons, with a “holy horror,” from their senses,at seeing the violin brought into the church, by the leader of the choir,or thatstill more frightened them when the bass viol was added, or the “same that drove choirs out of churches ~—the members thinking it sinful for non-converted persons to sing church music, or the same that in some localities, prohibits: dancing by church | members, for fear, as Bt. Paul says, it may cause some of the weak (igno‘rant) members to offend, and it is the same that engenders and mainsains the true spirit of anti-isms, _

- Again, it is asked, “why not appoint judges and insert their names, with their respective classes, on the pre‘mium list?” The reason 'is to guard againt improper influences,and against

a system of abominable pettifogging. This branch of the programme might be Dbettered, perhaps, by selecting judges from a distance, before the Fair, who are stangers to all parties concerned, and pay them for their services, especially upon the different classes of horses and cattle.

One says, regarding machinery, “due consideration should be given to bulk and weight;” while another, in commenting upon a premium list, thinks the eofficers were very ungenerous in offering but five dollars on the best reaper. Now, in my opinion, that is an excellent argument to prove that the Directors of the society (Prebble county) understood their business, for I very much doubt the propriety of offering any premiums on reapers, and that class of machinery, at county fairs. Why/do we offer premiums on ‘machinery ? ' Simply to encourage the manufacturer; and are reapers manufactured within the jurisdietion of county Fairs? “But,” says one, “they are for the inspection of the farmer.” Let usi see. Here are Messrs.,({grber, ' Hamnet and Fisher. Fach havé reapers tosell. They do not care a farthing for the farmer ormanufacturer, further than their profits on the ma‘chinery is concerned. They each exhibit theirymachinery for the purpose, solely, of selling it, and if they can get ‘a premium on it, it will be just 50, ‘many dollars and cents in their pock“ets for handling it. Further, let Mr. Fisher and Mr. Hamnet change reapers. Mr. Fisher then would be just as anxious to have the reaper Mr. Hamnet now has to take the first premium, as he now is to get the premium on the one he has. - : :

i Does the exhibition of the reaper at eounty fairs benefit the farmer? By no means. In the first place, there is hardly a farmer in christendom but who better understands the relative merits (if there is any) in the machines ;‘offered by Messrs. Hamnet and Fisher, than they themselves do; and, secondly, if they did not, they certainly would not be any wiser for seeing them at the Fair, where there would; be no means of testing them. It isthg test that determines their relative merits. I very much doubt.the propriety of paying. premiums on any kind of machinery without subjecting it thoroughly to a test, at the time of inspection. : . ;

. The same rule will apply in many respects to sewing machines and musical instruments. They are sold by agents, and the agents only would be benefited by a premium. There is a great variety of them, and,to some extent, they could be tested at the Fair.” But would it be possible to select a committee to pronounce upon their relative merits so as to award a first premium on either of them, and, at the same time, do justice to each, and to the public? I think mot. In. the first place, no' one should act as a judge except he be a judge of the article, and, in the next place, it would be impossible to select a judge who ‘was not partial to this,or that one, according to his or her particular fancy, superinduced by ownership or otherwise. Itis natural for almost every one to imagine his own the best. Besides, it is a fact, there is ho one make of sewing machines that is alike most suitable for all, as nearly all the different machines possess relatively different merits. For instance,the Wheeler & Wilson is afirst-class machine; does good work, and makes about five stiches to the Howe’s three. But it requires sométhing of a machinist to manage it successfully,and about onehalf of those who use machines can not do it; while, on the other hand, the Howe does just as good work, and any body can work it. Each one has its peculiarities,and each its advocates, hence, I do not think that a premium .can be awarded either, over the other, and at the same time do justice to both, or to the public. e One idea suggested by your correspondent is a good one, if possible to reduce it to practice—that written statements be required of exhibitors of field crops, as to the kind of soil grown upon, how tilled, time of seeding, amount of seed used, and so on—all of which isasked of us by the State Board, in our report to that body. Such were among the rules ‘first established by our society, but, finding it impossible to get a compliance therewith, by the exhibitors, they were stricken out. e

A change should be made so as to increase the number of classes in the horse department, in case it should be thought the finances will tolerate it, and,as our society has established a fair reputation for honor and integrity, and thereby become popular, I think we can venture the experiment. There should be a distinetion made between full, half, and graded bloods. It is not fair for a persen having a nice colt to be obliged toenter him against a thoroughbred, or, otherwise, not at all. G ;

A case of the kind occurred at our Fair last fall. Two very nice graded suckling colts were entered against a blooded colt belonging to" Mr. Latta, and, as cash is, and should always be, a-basis of valuation, the judges could not do otherwise than award him a first premium. But it was the occasion of some uncalled-for remarks, not, however, from the owners of the colts, for they were of a sensible class of men, but, as usual, from those it did not concern, never having anything to exhibit and nothing to do but find fault. =~ ) : - Whether we increase the number of classes or not, exhibitors of stock should be required to present to the Secretary full written (or printed)

pedigrees of the different animals entered for premiums, both of horses and eattle, because übon *his devends the value of the different animals, the purity and quality of the blood. And I do not think that a community or an individual, can ever establish a firstclass reputation for growing fine stock without being able to produce the pedigrees. The act in itself, shows care taste, science, and enterprise. . - A remark or so more in regard to manufactured articles.. Rule 2d says:

Articles which are the result of mechanical and artistic skill, mfist be entered by the artist, manufacturer, contriver, or agent. ! And if the agent enters it in his own name, he should so state, and it should be recorded as “agent for,” naming the party entitled, viz: the artist, contriver, or manufacturer. A case in point: I understand that Mr. —— entered a nice buggy which he had bought for his own use of a manufacturer in this place. Here illustrates the principle, not to pay the merchant for going to to New York and buying a stock of goods, to sell for the profits, and first, after he has got them here to take them to the Fair and draw half their ‘value in premiums, nor to pay a man for buying a fine buggy or a nice harness for his own benefit, but to encouragc the manufacturer. Now if the manufacturer had taken this buggy and entered it in his own name, as manufacturer, or if Mr. —— had entered it as an agent, for the manufacturer to benefit from the award, it would have been all richt.

Corrections are. needed in regard to the “Miscellaneous Class,” foritis the worst abused class on the list. In the first place, the Directors take into consideration about the amount they think they can raise, and the amount they can with safety appropriate t& premiums. They then divide the list into eclasses, and enumerate all the different articles suitable for each class, that they think profitable to offer premiums on, and then affix fhe aniount thereto. They examine their previous lists, and those of othersocieties, and there is seldom anything that has beenn offered in former lists, miscellaneous or otherwise, both by our own and other societies, that they do not notice. Consequently there is'seldom anything overlooked, that they think proper to offer premiums on, but which is enumerated and placed in its appropriate class. But, after due consideration, as they think, has been given to everything, they autﬁorizev a “miscellaneous class,” as a. class proper, of emergency, for any new and decidedly useful devise which the commpittee by trial, or otherwises are satisfied is meritorious, to grant and affix a premium thereto. No article should be entered in this class, that could possibly have been entered in either of the others, or that had been considered and rejected ‘by the Directers while making up the other classes; consequently this class should enumerate the smallest number of articles onthelist, But, heretofore it has been the most voluminous, and, by far, the most annoying to settle of all’ the rest put together. Ple In numerous instances persons will | come and examine articles that are already on éxhiﬁ)i;ion in their appropri= ate classes, and finding them superior to their own, of the same kind, will enter theirs in the miscellaneous class. Others bring articles that they want to exhibit to sell; articles, too, that. they well know had been duly considered by the Directors at the time of making up the premium list, and was rejected, while others make entries in that class of articles entirely worthless, thinking if there is no opposition they must surely get a premium. In order to correct these abuses, 1’ think two things requisite. One is, to employ an assistant Secretary, one..or two days during the Fair, who is posted, to make the entries in this class; and another. is; to exercise caré in the selection of judges, with proper instructions for their government. , Another feature of our Fair needs correcting, and, in the main, ought to be abolished. ' It is the use of “family tickets,” as they are inappropriately called. They have a decidedly demoralizing tendency, by emcouraging lying, deceit, and low-lived trickery, and in the creating of enormously large families, which is liable in the end to, result in the establishment of free-lové principles. : ; . L

The mext I will notice is their expressions of educating—the making a Normal School of the Fair, &c. This. seems to me the most, fational expression in the matter, provided they have the capicity to learn and profit thereby. But, on the other hand, if they propose to be the teachers, the result must inevitably be.the same as that of the old matrons at the camp-meeting—in regard to styles and fashions. | In conclusion, I desire to remark, that I do not pretend to say that Fairs are always conducted-upon the most judicious plan. Many lack experience and skill in its management, but let.us labor to improve the abuses, as they occur, which experience and sound judgment dictates should be done; not by, misrepresentations and tearing to pieces, but by improving and building p. o ~ PROGRESS.

The Grangers—Cash Dewn! - The Indiana Farmer makes the following good point: “One of the most cherished principles of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry, is to do a cash business, and we feel very sure every business man in the country will approve of this course. ~The pragtice of buying on creditis very deceptive and always dangerous. Not only that—you lose your independence. :If you know the priceis high, you think, well, the party is crediting me and *I can’t ask him to take less ; you feel independent upon him and soon a large bill is run up. Crops are not as good as expected, or prices lower, and a severe struggle, or probably sacrifices ltave to be made to meet the debt. Again, the prompt paying custemer has to pay for all the slow and bad debts made in the country, for there is generally about a certain average, per cent. of these, and the merchants, manufacturers, or whoever you may buy of, anticipates this and makes allowance, charging - increased per cent. to cover the losses.

~ Origin of the Dollar Mark. - A writer in the Atlantie Monthly has a -curious paper on the origin of the dollar symbol ($). In brief, his ‘theory is that the two parallel upright .marks may be traced back to, the pillars of Hercules, and the S-like figure i 8 the scroll entwined around them.— According to traditign, when the Ty--rian -colony landed jon the Atlantic | coast of Spain, and' feunded the ancient city of Gades, now Cadiz MeIWus,'the leader of the expedition, -sepop two stone pillars as memorials, - over which was built a temple of Hercules. -As the temple increased in

| wealth, the stone pillars were replaced by .others, made of an alloy of gold -and silver,’and these two pillars-be-‘came, in time, the emblem of the city, -as a-horse’s head became that of Car-. thage. . Centuries later, when Charles V' became Emperor of Germany, he. adopted a new coat of arms; in which -the pillars of Gades, or Cadiz, pecupied.a prominent device. Hence, when a néw coin, the colonnate, was struck at the Imperial Mint, it bore the new device—two pillars; with a scroll entwined around them. The coin be- | came a standard % valuein the Mediterranean, and the pillars and seroll became its accepted symbol in writing. | The two horizontal bars \i})xich Cross the symbol of the English pound ster-. ling are also to have a similar origin. In the same paper the symbolic origin of the pillars,of Heclues is traced far ‘baek into the remote.era prior to the digpersion of the human race from its Asiatic birth-place. They are identified’ with the household pillars of the Scandinayians, and the. idea from which' the concrete embodiments spring is to be found alike in fthe San- | skrit Vedas and in the glowing imagery of the Hebrew poets. They are the symbols of night and day, of light . and - darkness, which to the dawning - inteligence of the Arian rades, Isvere evidences of the Omnipotent, and, to the Jewish patriarchs, the work of a Tevealed creator. - '
