In justice to llie majority of our sub¬ 
scribers, wlio liave been readers for many 
years, articles and illustrations are sel¬ 
dom repeated, as tliose vclio desire in¬ 
formation on a particular subject can 
cheaply obtain one or more of the hack 
numbers containing what is wanted. 
Stack numbers of the “ American Agri¬ 
culturist,” containing' articles referred to- 
in the “Basket” or elsewhere, can al¬ 
ways be supplied and sent post-paid for- 
15 cts. each, or $ 1.60 per volume. 
Our Fair S,ist, which will be found on page 855, 
contains some 670 names of State, County, and other- 
fairs to be held mainly this month and next. This is 
very gratifying evidence of the agricultural prosperity of 
the country. While many of the Secretaries of Agricul¬ 
tural and other Societies responded to our request for 
direct information as to the times oi holding the fairs, 
we do not receive so many as we should have had, and 
have been obliged to take the announcements, as here¬ 
tofore. from papers published in various States. If the 
various associations woula fix upon the date early in the 
year, and inform us as soon ns this is decided upon, it 
woula greatly facilitate us in making up this list. As- 
to the fairs, we say go to them ; do not neglect your 
loca, fair for the sake of going to or exhibiting at the 
State fair, but visit both, and as many more as possible. 
Comprehensive Horticulture.— The Premi¬ 
um List of the first aunuai Exhibition of the Southern 
California Horticultural Society, to be held at Los Ange¬ 
les, Oct, 14 to 19, shows that the Society is very liberal 
in being “open to at. the World,” and equally so in the 
range of articles admitted to a horticultural fair. It be¬ 
gins with vehicles, runs through boots and cooking 
stoves, and includes about everything usually exhibited 
at fairs, down to the inevitable patch-work quilt. We- 
won'id not intimate that horticultural products are over¬ 
looked, but they find themselves in unusual company. 
We highly commend one feature in the prizes: nearly all 
the second prizes are a year’s subscription to the “ South¬ 
ern California Horticulturist.” 
liaising Farmers—Good Help- Scarce.— 
Some suggestions on these topics worth ttiinking of, 
will be found on page 335. 
A Manual of Georgia, for the use of Immi¬ 
grants and Capitalists, prepared under the direction of 
Thomas P. Janes, A. M., M. D., Commissioner of Agri¬ 
culture. Doct. Janes, as Commissioner, is not only doing 
good work to aid those already engaged in agricul¬ 
ture in his State, hut has put forth this compendium, 
which cannot fail to be of service to those who would 
locate in its mild climate and upon its fertile soils. This 
work, a generous pamplet of 119 pages, gives, in a con¬ 
densed form, a general sketch of the agricultural and 
others resources of the State, with statistics for each 
county and the principal towns. Knowing the author, vve- 
leel sure that the work is free from all exaggerations, and 
that its statements may be relied upon. The one fault in 
the work, is a failure to state how and where it may be 
procured, though we presume from the Commissioner 
himself, at Atlanta. 
Physicians will be interested in the suggestions 
on page 334, concerning treatment of Animals, Veteri¬ 
nary Surgeons, and the “Results" referred to. 
United States Entomological Commis¬ 
sion. —The first Annual Report for 1877, relating to the 
Rocky Mountain Locust, is issued by the Department of 
the Interior. It forms one of the series of the Reports of 
the U. S. Geological Survey, and is uniform in style with 
those. When we say that three such Entomologists as 
C. V. Riley, A. S. Packard, Jr., and Cyrus Thomas, have 
put the results of their work into over 70C closely 
printed pages, which are abundantly illustrated by maps 
and engravings—some of the latter of great beauty'—it 
will be admitted that the Locust has had justice done it. 
The work is highly creditable to the gentlemen of the 
Commission, and to the Government that authorized it„ 
and we trust it will be most useful to the States ravaged 
by the insect. To this end we hope that it may be made: 
accessible at cost price, to all who wish to procure it.
