A coop display of poultry is promised for our Fair. Goob fences pay better than lawsuits with neighbors. HArvEsT is over, and the rattle of the mower ceaseth. ScrimpING the feed of fattening animals is a waste of grain. A FAST WALK is the best gait for a farm horse. See premium in class 3. O1L of vitriol, it is now claimed, is an effectual destroyer of potato bugs. A MAN is most properly said to be ‘ripe for anything” when he is a little mellow. Tuk Sociery furnishes hay and straw for all animals on exhibition, free of charge. AN offensive warfare against weeds is five times less expensive than a defensive one. MAKE the fair week a holiday week, and let us have a grand farmers’ reunion of it. FENCES are dead capital; they pay no in- terest, and are a constant drain upon the pocket. : Mucu of the clover seed put in the ground in the spring was killed by the drought. In Kansas everybody is considered a sus- picious character who refuses to hunt grass- hoppers. SEVERAL horses were made deaf by light- ning in a stable in Lancaster, Pa., a few days ago. : INDIAN relics and curiosities will find an appropriate place at our fair, if sent to Col. FAIRLAMB. THE reason why farmers a”e so long-lived is, that every year they renew hay-day of their youth." WE have heard of at least fwol parties who are arranging ‘ Native Woods’ for our $10 premium. ARE you making preparations for the next Fair? Now is the time to decide as to the exhibition you intend to make. No cuARGE will be made for entering an- imals or articles for exhibition at our Fair —such exhibit®n being absolutely free fo the world. THE Reading Times says that Mr. Isaac @G. Prourz, of Litiz, owns a Norman stal- lion which weighs 2,250 pouuds, and is over 17 hands high. Youn LADIES, remember the Home De- partment. It is specially adapted to you, and you can do more to make it a complete suceess than any others. A vaTAL disease has made its appearance among the hogs in Lehigh county. The first symptoms are a refusal to eat, followed by a swelling of the snout, which lasts two or three days, ending in death. I¥ any one item can be said to be the key- note to profitable farming, it is just this: a realization of the value of the right kinds of manure applied in the right proportions to certain crops.—Col. WARING, in Ameri- can Agriculturalist. SND samples of iron ore, coal, or other minerals found on your farm, with the name of the owner, and the size of the vein or bed and where found, to Col. Gro. A. FArrLAMB, Bellefonte, who will classify and arrange them for exhibition at our next fair. <> Patrons Prc-N1o.—A grand basket pic- nic, under the auspices of Walker and Marion Granges, will be held in the grove belonging to Mr. DECKER, near Hublers- burg, on Saturday, August 21, Other Granges have been invited and are ex- pected to be present. Several short ad- dresses will be delivered. A good time is expected. Turn out. 4 * GRANGE NOTES. Through the influence of the grange it is now certain that the Legislature of Kentucky, at its next session, will pass a law taxing dogs. Otter Creek Grange, Pa., has occupied its new hall since May 15, is prosperous, and expects to double its membership in the next six months. Minnequa Grange, Bradford co., Pa. has rented and fitted up a splendid hall, 24x80, 12 feet high, lighted with gas. The Patrons of McLean county, Ill, have denounced the National Grange for its action in the matter of the Texas- Pacific Railroad. Crawford county, Pa., has 30 Granges, with 2,500 members. - On the 9th of July there were 548 Granges in Pennsylvania, ‘* and still they come.” Bradford county has forty-eight subor- dinate granges, and probably a member- ship of 5.000. Most of the granges are providing themselves with spacious halls —two story buildings, the lower one as a sample room or store house and the up- per ones for meetings and social enjoy- ment. Over $6,000 worth of farm implements have been sold by the Grange furnishing store at Muncie, Ind., since its opening, some two months ago. The new hall of Centre Grange, No. 56 Columbia county, is completed at a cost to the Patrons of only $1,150. The build- ing has a school room in the basement story, 25x32 feet, ceiling ten feet high, for a select school of Patrons’ children. The Grange is worth to-day almost as much to the agriculturists of the coun- try as the common school. 1t is, in fact, the only primary school we have which is devoted to agricultural education. Tt is there where our sons and daughters are first taught the importance of agri- cultural instruction; it i: there where they are taught to love and take a pride in their_ealling; it is there where. are made to see possibilities in agriculgu- ral industry which past generations haye never dreamed of, and it is from thence that an influence is to go out which in a few years will fill up our agricultural col- leges with young men, and young ladies, too, with a class of students that will not turn their backs on the farm to seek other professions because of their suppo- sed higher respectability or utility.—Pa- cific Rural Press. — — CurnrivatioNn oF BuckwaEAaT.— The cul- tivation of buckwheat seems to be on the increase among the farmers of the | United States. This is good economy, for buckwheat will grow well on rugged or hilly land, where scarcely anything else will grow. On steep side hills, on thin stony ground, on land full of nox- ious weeds, it will do well and have good effect in eradicating weeds and amelio- rating the soil. It is, next to clover, the best grain crop to plow under as a manure, and often gives a good crop of wheat. It should form a crop on every farm, either for domestic consumption, or market, or both. It is valuable for family use, for chicken feed and pig feed. | Farms for Sale. NE FARM, ooutaining ONE HUNDRED & NINE- TY-SIX ACRES, 2 miles from Bellefonte, in a high state of cultivation.
