; 
containing a great variety of Items , inc'uding many 
good Hints and Suggestions wtiich we throw into smaller 
type and condensed form , for want of room elsewhere. 
1®” W.B.—Vlie New Postage Law. 
—On account of the new postal law, wlilcli requires 
pre-payment of postage by tlie publish¬ 
ers, after January 1st, 1875, each subscriber 
must remit, in addition to the regular rates, ten cents 
for prepayment of postage by the Publish¬ 
ers, at New York, for the year 1875. Every 
subscriber, whether coming singly, or in clubs at club 
rates, will be particular to send to this office postage as 
above, with his subscription. Subscribers in British Am¬ 
erica will continue to send postage as heretofore, for 
pre-payment here. 
Catalogues.—The Fair List crowds our col¬ 
umns so, that we are unable to acknowledge the cata¬ 
logues at hand. Our friends may he assured that their 
favors are not lost or unheeded. 
Fairs for lSTS.—The list of fairs to come 
off this autumn, will be found on pages 358—359. During 
the season we make repeated requests that the officers of 
the societies holding the fairs, or the managers of the 
fairs, would send us their official announcements direct. 
More have done ttiis than heretofore, but still we are in 
many cases obliged to depend upon other papers, at the 
risk of copying typographical errors. Every one should 
hold it a duty to attend and exhibit at, and in every man¬ 
ner encourage his local fair, and after this, attend as 
many others as convenient. If you are a successful farm¬ 
er, and a well-to-do man, go to the fair for the purpose of 
letting some poor struggling fellow beat you in some¬ 
thing; you can afford it, and it will be worth $50 to him. 
The Hairy at Jhe Centennial Ex¬ 
position. —The American Dairymen’s Association 
have appointed a committee to take charge of dairy pro¬ 
ducts offered for exhibition. Butter and cheese in every 
form and style are especially desired. Communications in 
reference to this matter may be made to any of the gentle¬ 
men who compose the committee, viz.: J. Y. H. Scovill, 
Paris, N. Y., Chairman ; O. S. Bliss, Georgia, Yt.; E. S. 
Munson, Franklin, N. Y.; D. A. A. Nichols, Albany, N. Y.; 
J. M. Peters, N.Y. City, Sec. Butter and Cheese Exchange; 
David A. Lewis, New York City; L. B. Arnold, Rochester, 
N. Y. ; G. E. Morrow, Chicago. Illinois; J. H. Real], 
Philadelphia, Pa. ; J. Wilkinson, Baltimore, Md.; T. S. 
Gold, West Cornwall, Conn. ; F. D. Stone, Cleveland, O.; 
Artemas Ward, Sec. Philadelphia Produce Exchange. 
Iniporlniion of Clydesdales.—Ten 
fine Clydesdale stallions recently arrived in New York 
from Scotland. They were imported by the Powell 
Brothers, of Crawford Co., Pa. These stallions weigh 
from 1.600 to 2.200 pounds. This is the largest single 
importation of these horses into the United States yet 
made. They have reached their destination in Pennsyl¬ 
vania, where they will doubtless do valuable service. 
Tlie Ayrshire Record.—The “Ayrshire 
Record” is to be the Herd-book of the Ayrshire Breed¬ 
ers’ Association. It will be a continuation of the Ameri¬ 
can and Canadian Ayrshire Herd Record, but a new 
series under control of the above named association. 
The editor is J. D. W. French, N. Andover, Mass. En¬ 
tries for record may be made until October 1st, 1875. 
CirculnroSiiw Frame.—“C. F.,” Butler 
Co., P;,. The hanging frames for circular saws, illus¬ 
trated in tlie Agriculturist for May last, are not made for 
sale, so far as we know. They are so easily made by any 
carpenter, or any person who can make a mortice true, 
that it would scarcely pay to transport them from one 
place to another. From the description given, any 
mechanic should he able to make one with the greatest 
ease. Tlie shafting, pn.leys, and saw, can he procured at 
any foundry or machine shop. 
The Floods in the West. 
The present season has been a remarkable one. In the 
west the constant rains have prevented tlie cultivation of 
corn, and tlie fields are filled with grass. Cutworms 
have been more abundant than have ever been known, 
and both corn and tobacco in many places have been re¬ 
planted four or five times, before a stand could be se¬ 
cured. Grasshoppers lmve done some damage in places, 
hut, most of it has been partially repaired by late replant-
