Wayne County Fair and Cattle Show. 



At Neicark, October 16, 1S41. 



We find the following remarks appended to the list 

 of JH-Clnivims in the Wayne Co. Standard : 



The Fair. — Saturday was a great, a glorious day 

 for Newark, and a proud one for this county. The 

 Fair which came off here oti that day, was, to say the 

 least, more than ordinary. The weather during the 

 week preceding Saturday, was April-like, showers 

 and sunshine, with a considerable more of cloudy 

 murkiness than sunshine, and consequently the roads 

 were somewhat wet and muddy. These circumstan- 

 ces seemed to impress our villagers in the morning 

 with the belief that the Exhibition would prove to be 

 rather a "slim aifair" — yet contrary to ilie expecta- 

 tions and forebodings of all, and in accordance with 

 their v/ishee, the overhanging clouds withheld their 

 showers, and the attendance of people and toe num- 

 ber of stock and articles exhibited were far greater 

 than had been anticipated. 



The Wayne County Agricultural Society is 

 yet in its infancy. It is, to three quarters of the 

 farmers of this county, what may emphatically be 

 termed a " new thmg ;" yet with its present flatter- 

 ing prospects, and the awakening interest that it is 

 apparent is being taken in it, bids fair to be one ol the 

 first agricultural associations in the State. 



Murrain in Cattle. 



"A Grain of prevention is worth a pound of cure," 

 Sj says your corrcBpondeut N. in the October num- 



ber of the Farmer, and in that I perfectly agree with 

 him. I think it is probable that aslus may be of some 

 use as a preventive of Murrain, but from my observa- 

 tion, 1 believe that stdl peirc is a much better article 

 for tile purpose. The proper quantity is, a peice 

 about the size of a large kernel of corn, given once a 

 week A neighbor of mine has used this mode of 

 prevention for twenty years, v\ith almost entire suc- 

 cess. 



When cattle are attacked with this deadly disease, 

 I would recommend giving them, say, 2 oz. of Gum 

 Gamboge, dissolved. Tnis is a powerful physic ; 

 and it is very necessary to get something to pass the 

 animal. I believe that the Dry Murrain always pre- 

 cedes the Bloody Murrain, and is the cause of this 

 last and most fatal disorder, which is often quite prev- 

 alent in the Western country.
