EDITOII BEPCBLICAN:—One of the most so
ciable visits that has taken place in this vicin
ity, took place. at the residence of Henry
Smith, on Laurel Hill. Mt. Sinith is one of
the oldest residents in this vicinity. His fath
er,-John Smith, Senior, moved to this place
from near Ithaca, N. Y., sixty years ago, when
his son was but sixteen. Mr. Smith moved
upon the farm where he now resides fifty
years ago, when it was all a wilderness, lie
chopped and cleared, built him, a log cabin
near where his house now stands, and by his
industry and energy, with no capital, but a
strong will and a strong arm, he cleared him
self a good home, , where ho now resides, with
a plentiful competence at the ago of seventy
six, to enjoithe fruits of his labor.
There were twenty-nine present—his three
brothers, their wives, his three sisters and
their husbands. Their aggregate ages was .
six hundred and fifty-five years. Among the
number.waslW. E. Smith, of Ilingham'i Mill,
N. 1.; John Smith, of Barton, N. )7.; Isaac
Ennis, of Liberty Corners; George Steele, of
Burlington, and John Sullivan, of Ulster.
The ! table was bountifully spread. The hos
pitatity, the genial spirit, the sociability and
mutual good feeling that prevailed, was-en
joyable in the highest sense.. At the close the
Scriptures were read. appropriate remarks
made, and prayer offered by Bev. Geo. Steele.
of Burlington. Many years may these social
re,nnions come, where hearts may unite with
hearts, and hands clasp hands, for_ of such is
the brotherhood of man. SCUIPTA.

"FOSSIL'S" REPLY TO ,SECRETARY
WILT'S .WISTAKES
Wei the Republican.)
• lir
,When I wrote my "Review of the Report of
Judges on Draft of Chilled Plow Ttialpeteber
Mit." it w as' with the kindekt feelings toteard
Secretary Wilt—and which feelings have not
changed—and not intended as an "attack"
upon him. That part which gave offence; was
actually written in the spirit of fun. But see
what a blunder an old "fossil of forty to fifty
yei i ts ago" made in an attempt at joking I
I am very sorry, indeed, that my unfortunate
article, (iu that respect), - made the worthy
Secretary so excited.
I will do Lim the justice to say. that. if ho
had waited .(till calmer moments. I do not
think ho,would have used so harsh language
and put such unworthy construction upon my
motives. I confess that I misunderstood him,
when I, in my interview, (sought for the par
pose of showing hint his mistake), he quite
confidently adhered to the Correctness of his
(new light?) method ollobtaining his figures
of :force in-pounds per 100 inches earth turned.
Wheal claimed -"that the' average, width of
furrowit multiplied by the average depth
showed the actual number of cubic inches'of
earth turned by each plow," ho- replied "that
it simply obtained the number of square inch
es of a cross-section:of the furrow. and not
the cubic inches." This is the substance
hie claim as I recollect it. When I Made the
illustration of a piece of timber, I understood
him to disagree with me in my illustration.
Oat of tbis grew the statement that he says is
false. My conclusions wore hastily formed
' and with insufficient understanding, and I
am satisfied that I was wrong- and did the
Captain injustice. Neither did I comprehend
his method: the results of which I knew to be
absurd to Say the least.
Until I read the Captain's article, I was not
aware I had asserted in my "review" "that
my motives were pure and lofty." It wiltbe
a sufficient answer, if each reader will place
the two articles side by side and carefully
compare thorn, and judge for himself whethe
Secretary Wilt is jaetidod in his interpreta
tion of my motives.
In stating that I was not willing, as a deal
er in Chilled Plowa, to claim that any chilled
plow "only - required. a draft of 37 pounds to
42 pounds to 100 cultic inches of earth turned,"
I meant to be understood that I did not wish
to be a party to any such ridiculous claim.—
It *mild :be a transpareat falsehood, that
woulldo those dealers claiming it, more hurt
than good. I told Secretary Wilt oil the morn
ing:a:Oct. 22d, I think, !.that the plows drew
-MY pounds and upwards to the 100 cubic
inches of earth turned." Of course , I knew
when I heard of them, that his conclusions,
were wrong, but:did not have time to make
out the correct figures till after I called upon
him to show him his erroneous figureia
The Captain had evidently obtained "new
light" in the science of fignres, and a "fossil
of forty or fifty years ago" failed.to convince
him .of any error. Now; I tfo hope that one
Secretary, will .not get excited again; for
rather than have a repetition, / tri/Itake Wall
back !
Please permit me, for the benefit of all new
lights,,to give an old fossil's simple .way; and
reasons therefor, of obta.iiiing-the average 100
cubic's inchts of earth turned by it plow. First,
let me state, that this simple L rule is not origi
nal with me, bat is common to all the draft
trials; thUt I have ever heard of, proofs of
which I have in my possession'. Taking the
average depth r and width, multiply them to
gether and' you have the average number of
cubic inches turned by each plow. • Suppose,
for instance, that a plow cuts a furrow 8:15
inches at an outlay of 500 pOtinds draft. - The
plow will cat and turn 120 cubic inches. This
will be 416Y,i pounds to 100 cubid
to show in akW words, the correct=
- ness of a fossil's simple way of calculation, I
will endeaver to explain as follows: A, plow
point enters the earth as a wedge; the soil is
gradnitily cut, raised and turned till it leaves
the rear ehd of the mold-board, and i this is
done little by little. The power required to do
that little is expended all the way from. • the er-.
treme front edge of the wedge until the soil
leaves the rear end of theinold-board. It make's
no difference what the length of the plow
share and mold-bc4rd is, the rule Is the same;
the soil is not turned as st finished furrow,
until the entire work is aced-nplislied ir.ch by
inch, if you please. It is for us to find what
force is required to do this finished work inch
by inch, If the point and' mold-board are 38
inches in length as with tho Wiard "A," or,.
tour_ feet; or more, as in the ,case of some
Scotch plows, it is all the same; only the more
gradually the work is done, all things else
being equal, the lighter the draft.
Now suppose, as in the Bxls .Itich furrow,
mentioned above, the plow,after fully enter
ing
the ground and awning 'its furrow, is
stopped; then started forward , one inch; it
turns 120 cubic inches at an expenditure or
500 lbs. draft. It is again stopped, then star
ted forward one inch at another expenditure
of 500 lbs. or by the "Rule of Three"-41G%
lbs. to the 100 cubic inches. Let this be done
twelve times to a foot of furrow length and
GOOO lbs. of force-are actually expended in
plowing a furrow 8 - 115 inches br one foot . in
length. Has an old fossil been able-to make
himself understood? In one looted plow trial
at Anborn, N. Y., June 20th, 1878, under the
auspices of the Cayuga County Agricultural
Society, the drafts per 100 cubic inches were
as follows: Wiard 626 lbs., Gale 648, Oliver
673. N. Y. Atlamant,73l, Syracuse 808, and the
Gaylord 1050 lbs. ' R. M. W3LLES.

At last trunks are started for the depot and
we in the homely garb of Iliten dint ors, worn .
by all wile travelers are on our way to the

parting with friends is gone thiongh with,
and when .at last seated in the car feeling
that each moment is hastening , us to the
long wished for scones a rest steals over the
excited mind
,and the 'evening promises a
nights rest. Having left Russell at . 520
o'clock the trip to Ranais city, was made
during tho night: With the departure of
the evening sun the broad rolling prairies
merged into darkness, and wo were com
pelled to bid them adieu for the • night.

Not the grand old forest monarchs of the out

We found Topeka wrapped in the arms of
"morphous" at thii early hour but it had the
appearance of a slitting, business city. A
number of our' passengers got off here, it
being the time of the annual State Fair.
'' We reached Kansas city,' in time for break
fast. It is a .prosperous and beautiful city.
Bids - fair to rank first among western metro
polist. We spent the day -looking at its eights
and speculating uu what it would probably bó
in the near future.
At four o'clock, p. m., we-took train for
Davenport, lowa. The country through
Mo., and southern lowa. was a pleasant
sight. In place of the unbroken prairie we
saw small herds of cattle ifi Acids of Clover.
Clciver everywhere, in the pastures, the
wheat fields and the road-sides, it seemed to
grow spontaneous. -Yet as :there was con
siderable sameness, we did not so much re--
Bret making a portion of this trip during the
night.' -
Morning again surprised us with a beauty
fill bight. The Mississippi river lying in full
view; and as wo rimmed' the picturesque city .
of D., we were delighted with its pretty homes
nestling among the bluffs and its neat busi
ness streets.. •
We spent the morning resting at the. St.
James Hotel. Tho day was ono of the finest
of the season and from our window . we looked
out upon the river. In front of the hotel was
the ferry boat crossing. It' was indeed a
pretty sight, the boat gliding so quietly over
the sparkling waters with its load of living
souls, impatimit to be carried to the other
side of the stream, where others were waiting
, to return. The banks of tbo river we noticed
were dotted with neat, pretty and efen do
'gent homes. • •
After a few hours rest we made the tour of
the city and atlour o'clock were again ready
to resume our jotirne:y. As we made our way
north-West into lowa, wo MISSOti the' wheat
fields and upon asking the cause Were told
that wheat was not a succeed iu lowa, and
learned thatcorn, swine and cattle were the
,farmers dependence. Wo saw a large acreage
of corn but poorly cared,because of the =usu
ally dry season. The tato rains had given good
fall pasture and the cattle were doing well.
~We soon learned that the, potato clop was a
partial failure. Potatoes selling at 0.25 per
bushel. An improvement on' Kansas, where
4hey were selling in Russell Co., for $2.40 per
bushel.
As night famejna the clouds gathered and
when we reached our destination, Oxford

groves which have been planted are it. a
thriving condition; adding greatly to the
beauty of the country. For cross fencing
