THE RURAL’SJ^ALL CAMPAIGN! 
TRIAIj TRIP! 
NEW QUAHTBIt WEST VOXiTHUE. 
“ALL ABOARD!" 
In order to greatly extend the circulation or the 
Hi ntAL Niav-Yoi, k r:n, and introduce it to thousands 
of families, preparatory to the commencement of its 
next Volume in January, 1874, we make the following 
liberal offer: 
the 13 LUMBERS OF NEXT QUARTER 
(Oct. to Jan.) will be sent, ON TttlAL, to any address 
In the United States or Canada,for 
ONLY FIFTY CENTS ! 
All our subscribers are requested to make this offer 
known to their neighbors and friends, and to note 
that they can have the paper forwarded to distant 
friends and relatives, dol ing the Trial Trip, for the 
trit ing consideration above specified. How many 
will gratify ami benefit their friends by sending them 
the Best and Cheapest American Weekly op 
its Class ? AYne is the time to respond, shall we 
add ton, twenty or fifty thousand to our edition on 
tho 1st ol October t 
The condition and appearance of the cattle 
was remarkably fine. As they stood in their 
scrupulously neat stalls, or were led out to 
water, all had good opportunity to become 
acquainted wilh them. Buyers were reticent, 
others were free in their expressions of criti¬ 
cism or admiration. Lord Sk.Ei.mei!dale was 
naturally the observed of all observers, for wo 
seldom have the opport unity of seeing a noble¬ 
man with his glove.-, off viewing and handling 
Short-Horns with as discriminating an eye ami 
as delicate ;t touch ns a butcher catering to the 
taste of most fastidious customers. He is a 
hill, plcit ant-looking young man, with a long, 
full blonde heard and dressed In gray. The first 
hid made was his. and as he promptly called 
out “Tenthousanddollar.***’ wbcnthaBd H ike 
of Oneida was offeredIt was taken to mean, 
“Gentlemen, we Englishmen are here and 
mean business." So they did, for they piled 
tip lheir bids in some cases $5,000 at a call, and 
frequently $1,000 at each hid, till it, made our 
brain almost whirl, and repeatedly so confused 
and bewildered the Auctioneer, that when the 
animal was sold he could not announce the 
sum until prompted by his clerks. There was 
no evidence of concerted notion on the part of 
either English or A morican breeders, for both 
parties bid freely against each other. Yet, 
when tho strife waxed warm between two. 
others let thorn alone, at least- until one or the 
other “ weakened." Once or twice the Ken¬ 
tuckians nad it all to themselves, and right 
lively times they made. It was most exciting 
to watch some determined American, usually 
a Kent uckian, with his eye steadily fixed on 
ids English opponent, add thousand to thou- 
sand and hundred to hundred till his utmost 
limit was reached, and then coolly resign the 
beautiful heifer h« longed to call his own tc 
go across the ocean. 
Alluding to the excitement of that hour, 
perhaps you know what ft is to he in an atmos¬ 
phere of such intense interest that blood spins 
and tingles even to one’s fingers’ends, and a 
man hardly knows whether lie is a foot or 
horseback; if you do, you can easily imagine 
the feelings of that crowd. Whether buyers or 
lookers mi it w as pretty much the same— such 
emotions tire wonderfully contagious. 
The sale was conducted by Mr.,!, it. Page 
well known for Ids pictures of animals. The 
order was briefly as follows: First the. hull 
“ 2d Duke of Oneida ’’ then tho pure Duchcus 
cows and heifers. Then those of tho Oxford

The Mammoth Sale of Mum-Ilornn by the 
Hoik Samuel Campbell of Now York Mills, 
N.Y., noted elsewhere on this page, will at¬ 
tract the attention of breeders everywhere. 
It was the most remarkable wile on record, 
not only for the almost fabulous prices ob¬ 
tained, but for tho nationalities represented 
and competition displayed. Regret that we 
have not Apace to give a full report, with pedi¬ 
gree of t acli animal sold, but the pressure upon

ing any movement looking to the cheapening 
of transportation ana urging that her mer¬

teract tlie efforts of competing cities to divert 
trade t hereto by affording cheaper facilities for 
transportation. Letter* from distinguished 
men were read, and lion. Biiastus Brooks de¬

Trying Experiments.— There are a groat 
many men who llnyl it easier to ask questions 
and receive answers than to try experiments 
for themselves. They forget, however, or do 
not seem to know, that the experience gained 
In trying experiments, with a view of settling 
a question for themselves, it*, often of far more 
importance than tho answer to tho inquiry, ab¬ 
stractly. Tho man who has an inquiry sub¬ 
jected to him should make a note of it; ask- 
and get tho Information of others if ho can, 
and their experience with It.; but. ids memor¬ 
anda should he made with a view to trying tlie 
experiments himself tho first opportunity. 
There Is no kind of information so valuable to 
any man as that gained by experiment and ex¬ 
perience.

A New Agrieiiltiiral Conundrum.—One of 
tho questions for discussion proposed by the 
Bucks Co. Ag. Soo. is “What course should 
be pursued to induce the sons of farmers to be¬ 
come interested in our quarterly agricultural 
meetings?’' Mrs.S. L, El.v is to read a paper 
in answer; hut the gallant Mnj. Freas, with a 
correctness that must be horn of natural in¬ 
stinct, has anticipated the lady by assorting 
1 that the question “Can he promptly answered 
by Inducing the dawjhtcrx of farmers to attend 
these mootings.” This is the secret, too, of the 
popularity and growth of the Order of the 
Patrons of Husbandry. It lias secrets; women 
like secrets, hence they hasten to learn them 
since they are so privileged; heneo, tho men 
become Patrons.
