F4LL $IIOIVB,
The time is ab band when•fa11 shows:
and exhibitions are being held all :over
the country, either on a large or small
scale. In connection therewith, the
question often arises, "Do we 'receive
any benefit by attending these fall
shows?" We answer invariably "yes."
The benefits and advantages, arising
front these fall shows, are litany, in,
fact, we may say without hesitation,
they are incalculable, ' Nob only are
they a benefit individually, but to the
Country ab large: By be:mg brought in
contact with others, farmers will see
the live stock which their neighbors
keep; and also roots and other pro-
duce of their farms. This will stimu-
late thein to raise stock, rootsand
grain and other products Of the farm,
to compare with those they have seen,
and will .at once create a spirit of com-
petition; which will in its time, greatly
tend to improve the stock and also the
cultivation of the soil, Nor is the
farm the only place to which this will'
apply ; it will also improve all sorts of
manufacture and machinery., Every
wanufactlxrer will do his best to turn
out a machine which will suit the
wants of the people, better than those
of his rivals. Again those gatherings
improve the people socially—by this
means the farming ceinninnity, will be-
come acquainted. It also will be an
intellectual improvement. It affords
groundsfor iitudy, and deep :study, too.
In conclusion, we would say that th;e.

of this being the case. Rain is badly

to operate beyond •t1 eir,uecessities, be-
cause they think they can hold out un-
til increased Atlantic shipments have
arrived. The weather has doubtless
checked the upward "tendency, but a

Flour from old wheats is scarce and

throughout the week, the millers hay-

developments of the trade indifferently,
and the present rate of shipments is de-
cidedly in their favor. On Friday busi-
ness was small at p shilling decline.
