FRIDAY, OCT. I 1872.
Huron at the• Provincial Fair.
Through the enterprise of our
leading aciericulturists and stock rais
• is 1
era, this fine County now ranks as'
one of the foremost in this Province.]
It is in a fair way to become re-
nowned for its superior stock and
agricultural productions. The posi-
.
tion which it occupies in this res-
pect, is one whichmay well be en-
vied by warty of the older settled
and perhap-S more wealthy counties.
The display made at the late Pro-
vincial Exhibition; of thoroughbred
stook from, the County of Huron
does it infinite cu -edit, and entitles
• those who have riked their means
largely to -brine' it this credit , to
the thanks agi enbouragement of
our people generally. On that oc-
Oaken Mr. John Cueartings, of Hui -
let, carried off first and second prizes
for, large breed of pigs ; second for
aged Suffolk boar ; first and second
for small breed p;gs under one year;
first and third for small breed 'sow
under one year. Mr. Fisher of
Colborne received the first for three-
year-old heavy draft stallion ; first
for three-year-old agricultural mare;
first and diploma- for two-year-old
road and carriage stallion, and sec-
ond for heavy draft two-year-old
Mr. Charles Mason of Tucker-
• smith got first for two-year-old heavy
draft stallion. Mr. John Mason, of
Tuckersmith, took' first for three-year
old road and carriage stallion, and
Mr. William Mason, of Tucker -
smith, Look second in the same class.
Mr. Christopher Dale, of Tucker -
smith, took first and dtplorna for
two-year-old agricultural stallion.
We may state here that this litter
animal is Canadian, bred; it also
took first and diploma in its class at
the Western Fair last year. Mr.
William Bowden, Of Goderich town-
ship, received the first prize for one-
year -old agricultural stallion- This
ine colt was sold, on the ground to
an American for $600. Mr. Wil-
liam. Peck, of Stanley, took second
for his two-year-old neavy draught
stallion, and second for two-year-old
agricultural stallion. Mr. William
Herbison, of Goderich Tawnship,
took third prize for two-year-old
filly, Mr. H. Snell, 'Juliet, took
second prize for aged Durham
bull. Mr. Hugh Love, Sr., Hay,
took second for shearling Leicester
am; third for two -shear Leicester
ewes, and third for shearling Leices-
ter ewes. The competitiorrin Leicea-
ter sheep was very keen. There
were one hundred and fifty shown
which had been imported this sum-
mer. Messrs. Hogan Monro,
Seaford', took second. for iron plow.
Mr. Graham Williamson took first
for iron beam plow, and second fur
horse shoes. kessrs. Glasgow, Mc-
Illerson & Ca:, of Clinton, took
third for threshing. machine. Mr.
H. Switzer, of Creditor', Township.
of Stephen, took first for hs fanning
Mr. Herbison, of Goderich
'Township, took first for salt butter,
nd Mr. A. M. Ross, of Goderich,
took first for domestic wine, and
several for fruit. Truly, the above
ist is an honor -roll to which every
esident of the Coanty can point
With jus pride.
The Crops.
Iri speaking of the crops in Onta-
rio, and Quebec, a writer in the
Monetary Time8 remarks : The hat-
rvest in the now important _grain-
krawing districts of Simcoe, Grey
and Bruce, was this year unusually
abundant During a, recent visit to
that 'section the writer heard. no
that
whatever respecting the
,esult; but the reverse. In Huron,
aterloo and Wellington counties,
s 4we11 as in. a great portion of, the
iatricts lying between these coun-
ties and Lake Erie, the fall wheat
as badly winter -killed and the
"pring craps generally fair ; but in
- ery few places is it claimed that
e yield will be above the average.
in all these parts, then, a medium
turn is all that can be relied on.
bast of', Toronto the same story of
kinter-killing suffered by fall wheat
told, but the spring grains were or h
tter than in the large area of the gus
ce last referred to. This was
a great measure due to a much
I ore ample supply of rain. Be-
es, there was a large breadth
wr1, and both cereal and root crops
ive exceeded the average.
=, In the Province of c'uebec, iaii
is the great desideratum; and this
year there was to scarcity, but in
many places an. excess. Hay, the
coarse grains and roots are there the
principal reliance, and all these give
a heavy yield. In the Eastern town-
ships, more especially, showers were
freqirent and abundant, the • best
thing possible fot the production of
butter and dheese, which are among
the great staples of these prosperous
. townships. A drawback in the shape
of badly housed hay and oats Is com-
plained of. Along the line of the
Montreal and Champlain, and on
the Riviere Loup or Qnebee
branch, there was not sack a super-
abundance of rain, and the crops
were correspondine-ly satisfactory.

The Agricultural Situation.
At the annual meeting of the Agricul-
• tural and Arts Association, under whose
• auspices the Provincial Exhibition is
held, the President, in his address made
the following remarks
FLAX.
The cultivation of flax is increasing in
extent and is markede with decided
success, so that those who have advocat-
ed its introduction have every reason to
anticipate that it wilt sooni rank among
our staple precluctions.
f. soutpro.
• As our country becomes more opened
ap, we see the greater necessity of pro-
viding green food. for _stock (particularly
cattle during the summer months,)when
the grass has become parched and dried
up by the hot weather; the experiment
of sowing broadcast or thickly drilling
Indian corn at different tunes daring the
seasou, so as to be cut and fed. to them,
has been tried. with success and is likely
to prove a great boon td the. dairy -man.
The drainage • i•n
carried on in
the Western Peninsu1a4 by opening up
the natural water-eours'es, and in some
cases cutting artificial oites, is producing
a marked and. growing effect. Lands
which heretofare were totally unfit for
cultivation and. worthless, with the ex-
ception of a small growth of twild grass
for pasture, are rapidly being brought
under the influence of the plow, and
are found to be the in.ost fertile, produc-
tive and renumerative ; thus amply re-
warding the proprietor cr tenant for any
costs he may have incurred in their pro-
duction.

In looking over the past few yeerse

is in the manner employed incarrying o
the operations of the farm. liejevh.o hire

ign immigration, but that class of
rers require a long and patient teach -
before they are capable of managing
machines or handling our teams, or of
erstanding cur system of farming
erally ; yet these men are -apt to ce-
de wages of our firat-class Caw. -
s. Besides, as a general rule, na-
iad men of that class are unsettled
in their habits, raying, and, with. no lo -
al ties to biled them, ready to leave for
rifling causes or small inducements of
igher wages. The question is becoming
erious, but how is it td be avoided.?
he most ,feasible system appears to be

• t only board themselves, but we can
equently avail ourselves of the much-
eded household assistance, thereby
so relieving our over -taxed wives end
ughters. If such a system were gener-
ly introduced, I believe all parties, and

AVERSION OF BOYS TO FARMING.
There is another change which, though
not productive of emotions of pleasure,
yet- demands more than a passing aotice.
I refer to the growing aversion exhibited
by many of our young 111011 and boys to
honest manly toil—the tendency to leave
the farm for tho Whirl and excitement of
the city, uncertainties of the profession-
al or conith circlet life. The very term
" Commerce " seems to carry with it a
kihd of spell, and they forget that it is
rarely one in a, hundred who succeeds in
. is speculations and accumulates a for-
une. Yet, some patent agency. or
Merit right, in short anything that de-
mands travel or produces- excitement,
has a fascination for the young man that
seems irresistible, and we frequently
meet sound, able-bodied young, men
pedclling the country with some simple
little contrivance; With an energy that
would do honor to a better cause. Com-
mercial pursuits are over -valved, because
they lie more upon the surface and are
open to observation, but he who is iue.
cessful has often, nay, always, to toil
and. labor far more unceasingly than the
Agriculturist. •This can gaily be counter-
acted by making home pleasant tip them,
and so educating them that work on the
• farm shall not be considered mere drudg-
ery, but an intelligent use of the resourc-
es of nature. Nowhere else do intelli-
gence and. taste so readily ripen the con-
ception 'of the mind into utility and
beauty. Go to the,towns arid cities'and
you will find that a large majority of
those who went there as country boys,
insteacl of achieving wealth and fame,
have attained to less ;than they would
have enjoyed had they followed their
agricultural pursuits, and 'many are
rapidly sinking into the lowest depths of
degradation and misery.

THE MARKETS.
SEAFORTH, October 8, 1872.
The nisrkets are a, little better this
week. • Wheat is bought with more free-
dom, and slightly higher prices paid than
last week. Coarse grains have also ad.
Tamed_ in price. Barley and peas are
commencing. to come forward pretty
freely, but oats are 'scarce. and frequent-
ly enquired for. There is _not enough
coining to. town for local consnmption.
Farmers seem to be holding off in the
hope of getting a better figure, They
should take care, however, that they do.
not hold back too long. They are now -
at a good paji.pg figure, and those who -
have any to sell shouldlet them go.
Hay is rather down, with prospects of a
slightly further decrease. Butter and
eggs are firm* at the quoted prices; We

• TORONTO, Oct. 2, 1872.
The Liverpool and other Foreign mar-
kets are reported without change of eon-
segnence. There was very little doing
here either in flour or wheat, in fact no
transactions whatever havebeen reported.
Holders of superfine would have accept-
ed $6 26 but there was no buyers over
86 2 . othin* g clomg in fancy or extra,
prices of which are nonainally unchanged.
There was no wheat offering as far as we
could learn, the stocks here being still
very limited, Of _barley.the receipts by
rail were light, and • only a few ears
changed hands. The repotted sales con-
sisted =uf.one car No. 2 at 66; and one
car at 68c on the track, one cat No. 2
at 67c, and- one car at 7Ic f, c. in the
Northern Elevator. From farmers the
receipts were larger than • any previous
day this season, amounting to 450 loads,
• or about 23,000 bushels. There was a
brisk competition, and prices were well
maintained, bright samples beinging from
70c to 73c, -with 74c occasionally paid,
and dark samples selling at from 65c to
70c. Oats on the spot were wanted, and.
from 38c to 39c would. probably have -
been paid, but there were none offering
on the track.

mals was only fair, and prices of such
are firmlymaintained at 41c to 4tc.
Other grades, however, were abundantly
represented, and *prices, • though not
quotablylower, were less firm. We note
the following sales :.---To Mr. J. Britton,

The city trade in horses during the

well-naaintained prices for work as well
as well as pleasure horses. The demand
for all ranging under the category of
business horses was occasionally even
