TO TUB PUBLIC : We Uke pleasure In preset ting to tbe people Of our County the Premium List of tbe Third Annual Fair of tbe Butler Coouty Agricultural Association. Our prospects for a successful meeting are Ten (Uttering indeed. We bare secured tbe co operation of repreaentatlve termer* In different ■M lions of the county, wbose n*mes foarsntee tbe success of any enterprise with which they may be identified. Tbe iLaoagemeut ape determined that tbe As sociation sbal) be devoted exclusively to tbe ad vancement of tbe Ajrricultaral, Mechanical and otber domestic interests of tbe county, and will •pare BO means to make tbe coming meeting all tbat could be desired by both exhibitors and visitors. And we earnestly ask the co-opera tion of the cittern* ol oar ceunty,.especially tbe termers, in making tbe coming Fair a sncceaa, •ad In doing so, would say tbat we are fully dive to the fret that without the co-operation of Ibe farmers, ao Agricultural Fair can be made a success. And believing, as we do, tbat tbe Inter est* of agriculture are best advanced by tbese annual meetings, we hope tbe cltteena ol tbe County will look on it as s matter In which we ■ll bare a common interest; «nd let it be remem bered that tbe management cannot make an Agricultural Fair a success without tbe co-oper ation of tbo*e moat Interested in Agriculture. If yon have any article of merit on tbe farm, is tbe shop, or in the boose, bring it along and pat it on exhibition, and if yon don't get a pre mium yoo will at Irast have the sstUtaction ot knowing tbst yon have contributed to tbe en joyment of others, and of helping to make our Fair a success. A new feature of onr Association is, tbat It is oar intention to pay all premiums which are not protested, on the last dsy of tbe Fair, so that exhibitors can take their premium* home with them. ... i A Grand Cavalcade at one o'clock, r. *., oi each day will be one of the features of tbe exhi bition, and will be well worth a visit to tbe grounds, as each and every animal on exhibition can then be seen. Ail articles are admitted to competition free, except for speed, horse# and cattle, and every-' body to invited to compete. Another new feature of onr coming exhibition to, that there will be only three days of tbe Fair, tbe first to be devoted to making entilef, and arrangement of articles and animate on tbe ground, and tbe two other days to exhibition.

WALTER & BOOS, Proprietors of the Well-Known Splendid POU RING MILL BXJTLER, i'Js.. We wish to inform the public that we have remodeled our Mill with the latest improved Gradual Reduction System Machinery, whk-h is well known by Millers to be the best in existence We can say to Farmers and Producers of wheat that it will be profitable to them to give us a trial. We claim that we can make a BETTER ARTICLE OF FLOUR, AND MORE OF IT, out of the same number of bushels of wheat than any other Mill in the countv, and equal to any first-class Mill in the city, or \\ estern Mills. The new Under-running Mill, used for Regrinding, bought of Munson & Bro., Utiea X. Y.; the George T. Smith Middlings Purifier, bought ' at Jackson, Mich., together with Bolting Cloths, Reals, Conveyers, &c., suitable for the Machinery, cannot be Excelled in the United States or elsewhere. This may seem an exaggeration to some, but we wish the pub lic to know that we are able to perform all that we publish, as we have given our machinery a thorough test in the presence of several good Millers and Millwrights, and it has proven even better than it was guaranteed to do. We are also remodeling our Mill for Grinding Other Kinds of Grain, which will be entirely satisfactory to our customers.

Are now putting on the market a Plow that , ia as much superior to any Plow heretofore made as the Plows of the past few years have been superior to those made hall a century ago. It combines all the excellencies of any Plow In use. It obviates all the objections made to any other Plow. In addition it embraces several new features of the greatest value, for which we have ob tained exclusive Patents. Its Beam, Clevis, Jointer Standard and Wheel Standard will be STEEL, and its mold board win be a composition of Steel and Iron chilled under a process for which we have also obtained an exclusive Patent. It will Da called THE SYRACUSE CHILLED STEEL PLOW Its weight will be eighteen pounds leas than our present styles. A OrßUclasß steel Plow, made In the or dinary way, full rigged, retails for twenty-two dollars. Inferior steel Plows retail tram six teen to nineteen dollars. The price of our new Plow will be but Seventeen Dollars, and It will be the cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold. Its mold board will outwear three of the very best kinds of the ordinary steel mold boards. It will scour in soils where all steel plows and all other plows have hitherto proved a failure. With this How will be Introduced a corru gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on which we have also obtained a Patent, and which la also a great Improvement, both as regards Strength and wear. The Jointer can be shifted ao as to take more or less land, and also more or less pitch, and it can always be kept on a line with the Plow. The wheel will run under the beam or one side of it oa desired, and always kept in line. The beam is adjustable for Spring or Fall Plowing, and also for two or three horses. The handles can be adjusted to accommo date a man or boy, on the same Plow. It Is a perfect Plow. Wooden beams arc going out of use because they shrink, swell and warp, and never run two seasons alike. Iron beams are too heavy. Malleable beams become demoralized and bend, which Is much worse than to break. A Steel beam Is the necessity of the day. It to three times as strong and very much lighter than any other style. When we say a Hold board Is chilled, the farmers know It Is so. Wo do not palm off on them a com position Of various metals and call It chilled metal. We want agents tor this new Plow In every town In this State. We can give but a very small disooont to them, but we will pay the Railroad Freight. We propose to place this Plow in the hands of Formers as near the coat of manufacture as possible. It will be the but Agricultural Implement ever sold. It shall also be the chtapuL Persons therefore who are not willing to act as agents on the principle that " a nimble six pence lg better than a slow shilling," need not apply for an agency. No Plows on commission. All sales absolute. tVThls is the only Steel Chilled Plow la the World. Steel caste several times more than Iron. But this Plow, full rigged, by giving small discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars. Compare this price with that of any Iran Plow ever mode. It Is cheaper than any other Plow now Bade would be at Ave dollars and a halt. Where there are no agents we will, on re ceiptor seventeen Dollan, send a Plow to any Hallroad station in the State and pay UN freight. Address, SYRACUSE CHILLED PLOW CO. 0r Sjrraouae, N. Y.
