WHAT 1 KNOW OF FARMING.
BY HORACE GREEI,EY
XXXVIII
AGRICULTURAL EXIIIBITIONS.
I must have atteldod not less than
fifty State or Conf(ty Fairs for the. ex
hibition (mainly) of Agricultural Ma
chines and Product. From all these,
I should have learned something, and
presume I did ; but I cannot now say
what. Hence, I conclude that these
Fairs are what they might and should
Ie In other words, they should be
improved. But bow ?
As the people compose much the
largest and best part of these shows,
the reform must begin with them
Two-thirds of them go to a Fair with
no desire to le: ra therefrom —no belief
that they can bo taught anything. Of
course, not seeking, they do not find.
If they could but realize that a farm.
cr's fair might and should teach farm
ers somewhat that would serve them
in their vocation, a great point would
be gained: But they go in quest of
entertainment, and find this mainly
•
in horse-racing.
"Of all human opportunities for in•
struction in humility and self-depre
ciation, the average public speaker's
is the best. Ho hurries to a place
where he has been told that his pres
ence and utterance are earnestly and
generally desired, perhaps to find that
his invitation came from an insignifi
cant and odious handful, who had
some private ax to grind so repugnant
to the great majority that they refuse
to countenance the proeedure,no mat
ter how great the temptation. Even
where is no such feud, many, having
satiated their curiosity by a long stare
at him, walk whistling off, without
waiting or wishing to bear him. But
the speaker at a Fair must compote
with a thousand counter-attractions,
the least of them far more popular and
winning than he can hope to be. He
is hoard, so far as he is heard at all, in
presence and competition with all the
belltiwing bulls, braying jacks, and
squealing stallions, in the county; if
ho holds, nevertheless, a quarter of
the crowd, he does well; but let two
jockeys start a buggy-race around the
convenient track, and the last auditor
shuts his ears and runs off to enjoy the
spectacle. Decidedly, I insist that a
.Fair-ground iii'poorly adapted to the
diffusion of Agricultural knowledge—
that the people present acquire very
little information there, even when
they got all - they want.
What is needed to render our annu
al fairs useful and instructive far be
yond precedent, I sum up as follows :
1. Each farmer in the county or
township should hold himself bound
to make some contribution thereto, if
only a good hill of corn, a peck of po-
tatoes, a bunch of grapes, a squash, a
melon, let him send that. If he can
send all of these, so much the better.—
There is very rarely a thrifty farmer
who could not add to the attractions
and merits of a fair if ho would try.—
If he could send a coop of superior
fowls, a likely calf, or a first-rate cow,
better yeti but nine-tenths of our far
mers regard a fair as something where
with-they have nothing to do, except
as spectators. 'When it is half over,
they lounge into it with hands in their
pockets, stare about for an hour,andgo
home protesting that they could beat
nearly everything they saw there.—
Then why did they- not try? How
can wo have good fairs, if those who
might make the best display of pro
ducts save themselves.the trouble by
not makirig any? The average mea
gerness of our Fairs, so generally and
justly complained of, is not the fault
of ;lose who sent what-they had, but
of iiicise44l6, litiVirg better were too
• ltizy iendtanYthing. Until this is
radically changed, and'the blame far
,- toned on-tho4e who might bilge con
' tributed, bittAid• not, our fairs cannot
help being generally meager and poor.
2 It seems to me that the re is grey
need of an interesting and faithful
,running'coMmentary on the various
articles exhibited. A competent per
..sow sbmild be employed to give an
hour's off-hand talk on the cattle and
horses on band, explaining the diverse
• merits and faults of the several breeds
there exhibited, and of the representa
tives of Lhose breeds there present.—
, Ifianypre particuliarly adapted to the
-*to`eitlitY;slet that-fact be duly set forth,
with the simple object of enabling the
farrueys to breed . more intelligently,
and more profitably. Then let the
itppletnente and,ufachibery, on"
bition;helikewise explained and dis-
cussed, and let
whatever' respect to those , they have
superseded, or are designed •to super
lsedlS be clearly' pointed out. So, if
there be any_ new,grain, vegetable, or
frizit, on the tables, let it be made the
s'ubjbetiiiiiii:lbl4llo .. ,thoroiighly
cliscussOryhefore such only as
choose•to-jisten,' and without putting
the:mere sightseers to grave inconve
nionco. A. lecture room should al
ways
, be attached to a fair ground,
• yel, so secluded as to shut out the noise
inseparable from a crowded exhibition.
Here meetings should be held each
evening, for general discussion; every
ono ,being,eocouraged,to state concise
' ly the impressions made on him, and
the improvements suggested to him,
by what he had seen. Do let us try
to reflect and consider more at these
gatherings, even though at the cost of
seeiug less.
3. The well supported Agricultural
Society of a rich and populous country
must be able, or should be able, to give
two or three liberal premiums for gen_
eral proficiency in farming: If $lOO
could be proffered to the owner or
manager of the best tilled farm in the
county, $5O to the owner of the best
orchard, and on to the boy under 18
years of ago who grew the best acre
of corn or roots that year, lam confi
dent that an impulse would thereby
be given to agricultural progress. Our
premiums are too numerous and too
petty, because so few are willing to
contribute with no expectation of per
sonal benefit or distinction. If we
had but the right spirit aroused, we
might dispense with most of our petty
premiums, or replace them by medals
of no great cost, and devote the mon_
ey thus saved to higher and nobler
ends.
4. Much of the speaking at fairs
scorns to me insulting to the intelli
gence of the farmers present, who are
grossly flattered and eulogized, when
they often need to be admonished and
incited to mend their ways. What use
or sense can there be in a lawyer,
doctor, broker, or editor•, talking to a
crowd of farmers as if they were the
most favored of mortals and their life
the noblest and happiest known to
mankind? Whatever it might be,
and yet become, we all know that the
average farmer's life is' not what it is
thus represented ; for, if it wore, thou•
sands would be rushing into it where
barely hundreds left it; whereas we all
see that the fact is quite otherwise. No
good can result from such insincere
and extravagant praises of a calling
which so few freely choose, and so
many gladly shun. Grant that the
farming ought to be the most envie.
ble and envied vocation, we know
that in fact it is not; and agreeing
that it should be, the business in hand
is to make it so. There must be obsta
cles to surmountonistakes to set right,
impediments to overcome, before far
ming can be in all respects the idoliz
ed pursuit which poets are so ready to
proclaim it and orators so delighted to
represent it. Let us struggle to make
it all that fancy has ever painted it;
but, so long as it, is not, let us respect
Undeniable facts, and characterize
- it
exactly as it is.
5. Hour counties were thoroughly
canvassed by township committees,
and each tiller of the soil asked to
pledge himself in writing to exhibit
something at the next county fair, we
should soon witness a decided improve.
ment. Many would be incited to at
tend who now stay away ; while the
very general complaint that there is
nothing worth coming to see would be
hoard no more. As yet, a majority
of farmers regard the Fair much as
they du a circus 'or traveling menag
erie, taking no interest in it except as
it may afford them entertainment for
the passing hour. We must change
this essentially; and the first step is
to induce, by concerted solicitation, at
least half the farmers in the county to
pledge themselves noels to exhibit
something at 'ttin - next annual fair.
Stir One of the newspapers mentions
the case of a gentleman who married
a person on account of the vigorous
manner in which she wielded a sweep
ing brush. Some other persons have
married for reasons equally extraordi
nary. Judge Hugh Breckenridge, of
the Supremo Court of Pennsylvania,
the witty author of "Modern Chival
ry," whilst riding through'Westmore
land county, Pa., saw a young girl
who was going out to milk the cows,
place her band on tho top rail of a
fence, and spring over. "If you can
do that again, my girl, I will mar
ry you." The girl did so. The Judge
dismounted, saw the parents of the
girl, and told them that he would un
dertake the education of their daugh
ter and afterwards marry her; which
was done.
The late Colonel G. A., of Pittsburg,
declared that he fell in love with his
wife from seeing the hearty manner in
which she was eating ham and eggs at
a hotel in western Pennsylvania, at
which they were both breakfasting.—
Ho said to himself: "That is the wo
man for me 1"
Mir One of the noblest cases of un
ostentatious benevolence on record
has just conic to light at the office of
the Register of Wills, on the occasion
of filing the will of Miss Holland, de

and dollars in legacies to various pub.
lie institutions, religious societies, etc.,
with a direction that no public notice
of it should ,be. made.. This noble
hearted Woman has been all her life
giving money through the agency
of others in order notto be known and
her parting liberality only came to
light accidentally from some of the
reporters happening to be present
when the will was filed.
