ill the same condition in which they put them

to the farmer who exhibits the best set of farm

Solon’s wisdom. And we wish to record here, 
as we remarked to him, that one of the most 
interesting features of a Fair we oversaw, was a 
large wagon drawn by a half dozen yoke of 
oxen, loaded w ith the implements of a single 
farm -from the tool chest and Its contents, up 
to the reaper, mower and thrasher—embracing 
forks of all kinds, shovels, spades, hoes, hooks,

attendance, in both numbers ami quali'y, exceeded the 
anticipations or the most sanguine frivnda of the boci-

A Business Ehccation.-Wo have repeatedly urged 
that farming should be conducted on the strictest busi- 
m— principles-that the same system, calculation, 
law? of investment, belong to the vocation of the far 
nier that relates to any other business-that he needs 
to be familiar with commercial easterns and rules, m 
order to sell Ids product* to the best advaataee, and de 
termine the kmd of investment* he shall make; and he 
requires to conduct his processes of production with 
the same system mid calculation as to cost and profit, 
that itet manufacturer of any material finds necessary 
iu his business. Every farmer’s boy should have a 
business education, therefore, though, he is to work a 
f*rm all fits life. The more thoroughly he Is versed in 
the laws of business, tbe greater will be M» success as
