THE HURON gm-sosii OR.
Annual Report.
The followiug is the Report o the
Officers and Directors of the South
Huron Agricultural Society for the eax
1878, to which we made mention i our
report of the annual' meetieg.
• We the Direetors of the South II ron
Aar -!cultural So-ciety, offer the folloE ving
statement of the doings of the B • itrd
during the year now past: Our la re-
port showed a membership of 109; the
present ShOW3 a membership of 101.
This shows a falling off in the me bert
ship yet we believe that our Socie y is
growing in favor and its usefulue sis
, becoming appreciated. We started the
year with an unusually large bal nee
in hand, namely $196.63, but since the
object of the Soeiety is not to beard
. ,
money, but to spend it in. fur. her-
ing the objects for which the So' iety
was formed, it -became the duty d the
. Board to see that this -money was - ent
. .
in the best interests of the people It
was seen that the farmer o of Huron
stood in the foremost ranks as procincers
. of horses, especially of the heavy Class..
It Wtas seen. also that the branch of in-
dustry was beeoming more profitable
by the cpening up of aiPalmost unlim-
ited market and paying prices in, the
Mother Country and elsewhere ; land
. knowing that if this pre-eminenee of
Huron was to be maintained, it viiis by
securing the services of the veryI best-.
sires; securing new blood of s,uperior'
excellence., Itwasresolved, therefore,
that a part of this money be employed
in securiagthis most desirable endour spring show of entire . stock, e. hich
j. At
, .
was held at Brucefield, April 19th, fit
addition to s-ubstantial prizes, a bonus
was given -to the first prize stallions in
the classes, heavy draught, carriage
and thoroughbred, and also tothe first
prize ,Shorthorn bull., for the raising of
superior cattle is of equal importance
to the _breeding of horses. Thes ' bo-
nuses were paid to such • as took " first
i
prize in the classes named, if the : ani -
nulls so taking the . first prizes Were
shown -for the- first time in the C .unty
of Huron. This scheme was at least
partially successful. The exhibit of
stallions was fully. up to the staudard Of
former years. • ' The. first and second
prizes in heavy draught was carried off
-by owners of stallions shown for the
first time ia this county, as also t first
prize io Thoroughbreds. This show in
.all departments was well sustained,
there- being 37 entries t of he, 'ses
amongst.others one impoitedPerche on
This may be noted as the first:- it tro-
duction of this celebrated bre tt o
horses into the County of I' urou.
Twelve thoroughbred bulls and two
. Ayrshires of considerable merit ,were
shown. The sum of $198 was aw- ;Med
•
.in prizes and bonuses at this shos The
attendance of spectators, was lax.t and
the keenest interest was taken ' ithH the
decisions of the judges., It is a Matter
of the Utmost importanbe that the' ser-
vices of thoroughly competent judges be
secured, for in reality this show. shoutd.
be a school at which. our people could.
learn to distinguish the points, of the
perfect horse. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act for th.e Encourage
ment of Agriculture and Arts, Section
72, we united with the Stephen! and
Usborne Branch society, for 'the! pur-
pose of holding a Fall Show. t The
terms of the union were. 'agreed te at a
meeting of the Directors of the two So-
cieties held at Hens all, June 10th.
The Branch Society agreeel to ,pay to
the parent Society the suM of- $650, to
pay all caretakers, gatekeepers, &c.; and
.all, discretionary prizes above the suiti.
- ' of ,530. The parer, t society agreed to
pay all regular prizes, as per list, that
shoulcl. be awarded, and discretionary
1
-prizes to ' the amouub of $36; all ex-
penses coemected with ecuring aud en-
tertaining judges, all printing, &c. The
Fair was held ill Exeter, on Monday
and Tuesday, the 7th and 8t1i of (tete-
- ber,,and was in .every respect 0, grand
success.. The day was fine aud an im-
Meuse .concourse gathered to witness
the best.show ever held in this Riding
,of South Huron. The commeu able
efforts of the Branch Society in con-
tributing so liberally to the geueraiJfnnd
led to- a corresponding effort ont1 part
of the parent Society, resulting( in a
greatly enlarged prize list and a -keener
competition. Our show bills offered
nearly $1,100 in prizes. Of this sum
$915.50.were actually awarded, $886.50
being drawn mostly from the treasury
of the Society. The board .would here
acknowledge the :' generosity of our
esteemed friend, Mr, Archibald Bishop,
M. P. P., in his gift of 25 to the, So-
ciety; 'and also. ackuowledge With
thanks smaller but stilt handsome
gifts from Mr. J. Willis, txeter ; Mr.D.
McInnis, .Usborne ; Mr. Wm. Penh.ale,
.Steplien. Mr. Huuter, of Usberne ; Oke
et Hodgson; of Exeter, and others,
which though given for .a__. special. 'pure
• pose still adds to the interest of the
Show.. Twelve ,handrecl and. fifty' en-
tries were made by 261 exhibitors. With
regard to the quality- of the articles
shown it may be remarkecl that a grad-
ual improvement is visible in every de-
pattment. ,Indeed this is true in it re-
markable degree in all classes of herses
and cattle especially.. In grains', the
display was large and generally good,
-.except spring Wheat and barley. The
splay of fruit was large and very
The same may be said of dairy :pro-
duce. We may here be allowed to ex-
press the :regret we' feel that though
good butter can be madewith proper ap-
',halloos and skill, the great bulk of our
-butter reaches the markets of the con-
sumers in an unsaleable condition.
'Whether this state of- affairs is charge -
ale to the farmers or the midelleinen,
_ it is alike to be regretted. Perhaps
both parties are to blame. Certain it
is that neither aro entirely clear, arid so _

and 12. Believing that • such Matches
stimulate the youth to greater effort in
this easel' ial of good. farming, we felt
it our duty to aid the committee in
charge who solicited aid from our so-
ciety, in consideration of holding the
match in.or adjacent tocur riding. We
gave for this object 069. Although the
day happeued to be storrity, the match
was a mocerate success. The plowing,
considering the circumstances, was
very good, and though many conapeti-
tors came from the adjoining counties,
we are happy to say that a good share
of the laurels were worn by the gallant
sons of South Huron. Inasmuch as
these offic al reports become the history
of agriculture in the localities to which
they refer it may not be out of place to
append a crop report. We report the
fall wheat, of which an increased acre-
age was scwn, undoubtedly a full crop.
We place he average at 25 bushels per
acre of first-rate wheat. Chief varie-
ties, Treaclwell, Clawson and Scott.
The spring wheat was a partial failure
and will not average above 8 bushel
per acre. The principal varieties sown
were Fyfe e and Redfern. As with
spring what so with barley, which
crop wou d average about 20 bush-
els, the thief - part unfit for malt-
ing purpose, being light of grain and
dark of c lor. The causes to which
are attri utable these failures are :
First, th great heat and moisture
which eli racterized the spring and
early sumilner months, causing a very
rauk but iender growth. to shoot up.
This perio was followed by a period of
intense he t, which- seemed to dry up
the stalk iud shrivel the berry before
fully fille The incessant rains of the
last half o July completed the ruin by
staining aid in some cases sprouting
the barley on the foot. The oat crop
was event e in yield and of good qual-
ity. The ay crop was large, but some
of it badle damaged by rains. The
present a •pect of the affairs ,of that

study. It seems indeed to pi zzle the
philosophl rs to account for the staeua-
, tion of bu, iness mid the deep, distress
. which un loubtedly exists. With the
most ab ndant harvest. which the
, Giver of a 1 good has blessed the world
i since the menaany of man ; with the

and indee all other producer, full to

overflowi g ; with plenty of money and
plenty of ays for transportation and
f distributic n, and men aching to work,
and yet e ery branch of business is dull
and trade paralyzed. To ferret out and
trace the auses of this deep-seated and
deadly la gour, and to point out and -
apply the remedy to restore to health
and activty the industries of the world,
is surely ot beyond the ken , of the
learned pl ilosophers. And ye ;we wait

TO TIIR PUBLIC. -Read what the people say
in regard to the Great Shoehonees Remedy
and Pills. Levi Jones, Markham, says: "1 had
a very severe attack of bronchitis. I was so bad
that I could hardly get my breath. I sought for
a quick remedy, and seeing the " Shoshonees
Remeay " so highly, recommended, I procured a
bottle, and am happy to say that by the time it
was taken I was,entirely well, and have remained
s�, although I was much exposed through the
winter In travelling." Rev. F. B. Stratton, Dera-
orestvillb, writes: "1 have found your re-
medies particularly beneficial for liver complaint,
dyspepsia and bronchial affections, and would
advise ail similarly affected to give them a trier,"
John Finlayson, Athol, says: " When travelling
one of my feet got sore and broke out. I could
not cure it, and had to return home. It became
better and afterwards much worse. I finally pur-
chased it botele of the Remedy and a box of Pills,
and before they were half gone I commenced to
improve, and before they were finished my foot
was completely cured. It is now 17 months
since, but have had no further attack." Price
of the Remedy in pint bottles, $1. Pills, 25 cents
a box. 522.
•pHB GREAT FEMALE REMEDY. -Job Moses
Periodical invaluable medicine is
unfailing in tho cure of all those p:inful and
dangerous diseases to which the female constitu-
tion is subject. It moderates all excess and re•
nioves all oberactions, and a speedy cure may be
relied on. To maaied ladies, it is peculially suited.
It will, in a short time, bring on the monthly pe-
riod with regularity . These pills should not be
taken bY Females daring the first three months
of Pregrancy, as they are sure to bring on Mie -
carriage, but at any other time they are safe. In
all cases of Nervous and Spinal Affections,
pains in the back and limbs, fatigue on slight ex-
ertion, palpitation of the heart, h,ysteries, and
whites, these pills will effect a cure when all other
means have failed; and, although a powerful
remedy, do not contain iron, calomel, antimony,
or anything hurtful to the constitution. Full
directions in the pamphlet around each package,
which should be carefully preserved. Job Moses,
