It la too for tnay for Cockneys, and Ha noble owner has been careful to encourage Intrusion as little as nay t>o in this all-leveling age.. BTRANOB IS THE CHANGE from tho crowded galleries of the Paris Exhibi tion to the quiet little Village of Fairlie, and yerv sweet seems the blue Atlantic after all the hot and stilling hours passed beside tbe paltry waters of thc.Tj'rocadcro Cascade. As sweet as pure sunshine after gas, or a woman’s kiss to aweary traveler. Hero there Is no stir,—no struggling for scats,—no unhealthy artificial excitement to dull the eye and welch down tho body with feverish fatigue. Close to me, round tbe neighboring headland that marks tbe en trance to tho Ilivcr Clyde, there are men loaded with business cares, fighting the dally fight with Fortune, full of strange commercial talk. Bat Id Fairlie most bf tho few score of human beings who make up its scanty population ore content to let tho anxious business of life rest furcotten fur awhile, while, (roe and Idle (old jinjuJlco will call It Idleness), they cojoy the fair sights and odors Nature has provided for them, and gather fresh strength from the con templation of the Divine Infinite. Thirty or forty liny cottages line tho sea-shore. One is on Inn; another Is the smith}’. Behind them is the tingle shop Fulrlio can boast. A WONDERFUL EMPORIUM, at which you may buy anything, from a half- Vcnnv top too pound of candles. This is (he I’ost-Ulflco too. The good mun who keeps It Ims not a very severe strain put upon him, for fils few postal customers—young ladles from (ilasgow ami London chloliv—are obliged to fetch their letters away themselves. No rnllruad-statlon or telegraph yet destroys Hie rusticsoliitidfe of the place; but In another vear there will be Doth. Gangs of rough navvies ” lately made so Inroad upon the peaceful village. They came around with picks nml spades, swearing rude oaths, and speaking a curious tongue, such as you hear la the sister Isle of Ireland. Great was the scandal they created in sober and God-fearing Fatrlic, whoso miplc of hundred inhabitants find if impossi ble to content their spiritual cravings with less than two ministers and two rival kirks. The village Inn became a banned and unholy spot, given over utterly to noisy revelers ana blas phemers. People shrank by It with a pious shudder of abhorrence, and took to doino Timm tmiNKiNO at homb. Scotch people must get drunk somewhere, but they like to get drunk In a sober and respect able fashion, not suffering the cun which ine briates, but does not cheer,ever to nave the bet ter of their peculiar drvncss.

THE FARM AND GARDEN. Benson for Falm—Side-Shows and Gambling Devices—DeneOt of Cl orer—Plowing Under Clover—Oas Coal-Tar—Tho Hessian Fly- Certain Varieties of Wheat Not Exempt— Future Hteam.riows—"Good Old Times” —Crops, WeaUier, Etc* From Our Otm CorrttpondenU Champaign, -HI., Aug. 8.— I Tho season of State and County Fairs Is now at hand, and tho officers of each are using every exertion to make them a success. There always has been a great deal of fault-finding with the management of Coun ty Fairs,—a ( great deal of It deserved, but, In many Instances, entirely without cause. Every disappointed exhibitor, every man who has failed to beat the Society In tho way of admls slon-fccs, or hos failed to secure a compliment ary ticket, can run a Fair much more success fully— IN IMAGINATION— than those who have it In charge. Tills kind of encouragement Is by no means relished by Fair officers, who generally work for nothing, and get curses for their pains. In order to make a Fair successful, there are several, things to take Into consideration. There must be good weath er, a good attendance, a good exhlbitlou to draw a crowd, and a liberal list of premhima to at tract exhibitors. There appears to bo an idea prevalent that Fair Associations are wealthy, and do not require any money; and, m carrying out this Idea, every subterfuge la resorted io In order to “ get In free.” Every man who takes a pig or a peck of potatoes wants a free ticket. It usually costs from 12,000 to $5,000 to run an ordinary County Fair, and It is only by tbo exercise of tho most rigid economy that they can be made to pay expenses, cvcu In tbo most populous counties, lu the matter of admitting all kinds of SIDB-SIIOWB ANO.OAMUI.INO DEVICES, the managers also render themselves liable to all sorts of complaints, os well as to on indict ment by tbe authorities. If such means of en tertainment are not oresent, a groat many peo ple vote the Fair a bore, and sav It Is run like a prayer-meeting; If wheels-of-fortuno or beer- Belllug Is permitted, anotherclass sav tho mana gers are cncouraglnggamhllugaml Intemperance. Between tho two extremes, H seems hard to pass without getting denounced by both par ties; and. as all communities are about equally divided, It Is hard to tell lust what to do. Wo think that many of our County Fairs are held too corlv In thu season. A Fair held In August can be little else than u stock-show, ps fruit aud vegetables .am not mature cuough to exhibit with any satisfaction. Such shows are usually lIUlu more than hcysc-mces, which comprise tho principal attraction, aud absorb most of the premiums. As schools of Instruction, thov are failures; aud, os expositions of the wealth of tho coun try, give oue no proper Ideas. There Is a grand chance for making a Fair a place of attraction, and for comparison of products; and wo hope. In time, to see them become such, Instead of schools for the education of young gamblers, and the demoralization of formers’ sous. JIENBFIT OP CI.OVEII. Clover, os a manure, Is attracting more atten tion with each succeeding year; and, ns the price of seed lias come down to a reasonable sum, more of it should be sown. The following obiu article on the subject (a from the Clover* Amf, a little publication by the fllnlsell Manu facturing Company: The maximum of benefit derived from tbe stub ble and roots of clover is attained tbe second year from tho first sowing, for tho plant is usually a biennial, and ft has been demonstrated that the dried roots arc then In tho proportion of fifty-six fur every 100 pounds of hay produced from them In two years. The ground la then so fall of roots that further accumulation is chocked. Tncse routs have a magical effect upon thu wheal-crop, sup plying the needed requisites to the production of a line yield. It will ue seen that in a single season tbo result would not be near as great, for the clover docs not gut half established in a single year. In a lavorubiu season, however, o fair crop of hay may he obtained with proper management. A liberal seeding, and well-prepared ground, followed by an application of gypsum when the leaves are de veloped, sown broadcast, will generally give a good crop. Aa to tbo time and manner of rbOWINO UNDBII C'LOVBK, we cannot do better than to repent what woa said In (ne Clover- Leaf last year. From a consultation of the best nnlhoritlos, the bolter opinion seems to bo, that the proper time to plow under clover Is lust at tho time when It begins to bloom, or a little before, rather than after. The flower leaves give off tho nitrogen that the growing plant has all along been securing from tho atmosphere, and whatever decaying plant-lifo has taken Place In contact with It, which Is desirable should be re tained in the soil. At this period thu plants con tain the largest qnnnilty of ready soluble matter, end bavo the least exhausted tbe nutritive sub stance of tbo soil. Thu plowing should be deep enough to prevent wastage, and yet near enough to tbo sur/aco to bo acted upon by solar heat and tbo air. There is no method known at present, where land has been tong couioufled to yield up Its treasures In producing wheat and other crops. >y which the soil cap bo restored eo well as oy rotating with clover as a manorial agent, at (be same time not forgetting to odd, wburu required, the mineral constituents. GAS COAL-TAlt. Col. F. D. Curtiss says of thU article, in tho New York Tribune/ A pig was castrated a week ago. and daring tbo present hot weather, and gas coal-tor applied; in three days the cots were closed up, and the flesh knit together, and in less than a week the wannfls were bealvu. There was no trouble with files. The lambs'tails wvro'trvated, when cut oft a week ago, with coal-tar. and they are now well. The flics did not trouble them. Gas coal-tar Is the most beating and valuable remedy tpopply to flesh wounds that 1 know of. No funner should bo without it. In making this discovery, I have found a boon for animals, and farnmrs toe, as it Is eu easily applied, end eo certain in Its curative effects.

TUg HESSIAN 'by. During the past spring we beard frequently of this pest of the wheat-grower; but, os the season udvuueed and the crop approached ma turity, the Insect passed out of notice. Thu tracks of the Hessian llv may be easily traced. Lust year Us presence hi Central Illinois was nut policed because 1c was not numerous enough to attract attention by Us ravages. During this season they uecatuu mure numerous. T'nis full ou increased acreage of w heat will be sown, and. we have no doubt, Die fly will du a great deal of damage. Another season will probably end the growing of winter-wheat hi many localities. The crop will be destroyed, and larmurs will gut discouraged. With their natural food and breeding-place gone, thu fly Will disappear, hud, hi n veer or two, whuat may again he raised. Of course, there uru dream* stances which will tend to break this rule; hut wo consider thu average condition of seasons. Boinc go so fur as to assert that CBUTAIN VAUIBTIK* Or VVUBAT Alt!

A correspondent of thu VvuiJry Uent'tmun savs: It 1* claimed by some that certain varieties of wheat are leas liable to llie attacks of the Hessian fly, and entire exemption bus been claimed fur luiao. 1 iiu salUOud from experience that these claims are panlullr fallacious. There Is uo wheat winch the fly will not Injure under favorable eon* dlllous for Its working. Tne supposed exemption is due to IDs fact (liul, when a iwak-growlng snd a suuna-irruwiug variety are sown aide by side, thu fly leaves die luitc-r for the former. Whatever Biakwa the wheat plant vigorous, helps to repel the attack* uf allluacet*enemies.

AUGUST 5, 1878, provn a sum guide to animate success by “the coming man.” M. If. W. Wo are aware that there are parties at work Inventing steam-plows and steam-wagons. The recent trials of the Utter In Wisconsin assure us of this, and yet we do not believe that either will over succeed. There arc too many things that operate against them. Team-work Is too cheap, manual labor is too expensive, ami the price of farm-produce Is too low. In Europe the reverse Is the case. There are also certain mechanical difficulties to overcome,—traction pcrhsDS being the greatest. Still, greater won ders have been accomplished; but. we shall not throw op our hat ami shout, as wc saw hundreds of people do at.Centmlia, twenty years ago, when Fawkes plowed his first furrow In Illinois soil. Ills success was predicted by hundreds; but bo has long since abandoned the Idea of a successful steam-plow, and has turned hla atten tion to fanning, and Inventing coro-planters aud such useful machines. “ tub noon o».n times.” Yesterday wo attended a reunion of a number of tno old settlers of this county In Urlmna. They came and settled here from 1828 lo 1810: and, as wo listened to their recitals of tho good times they had, we were thankful that wc were not so unfortunate as to have been *• an old settler.” Of money there was very little, and farm-products bad no cash-value. Wheat waa hauled to Chicago by ox-tcams,—it required fourteen days to make the trip,—and then it sold for 40 or 50 ccnta per bhshel. Corn In tho crib sold for 4or 5 cents; hogs, $1.35 per owl. Wages were 50 ccnta pcrdayln harvest; and one gcntlcmau, now very wealthy, said ho worked five days in tbo City of Chicago for ono bushel of salt, —price $2.50. That was In 1830, Sugar cost 0 to 10cents; coffee, 20 to 50; calico, 20 to 50; and whisky, 25 cents. Contrasted with present prices and present ronvenleuecs, •• the good old times ” sink Into Insignificance by comparison. Those good old times are, however, constantly referred to by ttiose who have evidently forgot ten the past, and still sigh fur Its return. There Is nothing but the will to hinder any one who chooses to do so. from returning to’the primi tive customs and habits of the early pioneers; but wo fear the will Is not strong enough to abandon thu luxuries of the present for any such privations. CROPS, WEATHER, ETC. Harvest Is over, and now thu thresher is fin ishing tbe account for the year. The vleid of small grain Is all that was predicted. Central Illinois has, however, been recently visited hr several severe rain and wind storms, which have dbne great damage to the corn, by blow ing It down and breaking It off. Many good Judges assure us that tho storm of Wednesday night lujurcd thu corn-crop of this countvtothe extent of onc-thlrd thu crop. It Is, however, too soon to compute tho damage. 'The stalks are left In aueh condition that It will he Im possible to sow either wheat or rvc in tho stand lug stalks. Very little grain Is coming to mar ket, aud tho prices remain as quoted lust week. Uurai. Jit. THE FIELD AND STABLE. Veterinary Hygiene: XLlX.—Miasma—Sun- stroke— Colic. IVom Our Own CorrttjxmdtnL Chicago, Auk. o.—Miasma used to be defined us Infection floating in the air,—an effluvia, or fine particles of putrefying organic substances, floating and rising in tbe air, and noxious to thu health of domestic animals and men. It was considered as an unknown something which manifests its existence by its effect. That its development is connected with, and inseparable from, a decay or putrefaction of organic bodies Is an undisputed fact; hut the real nature of the various miasmata is yet comparatively un known. Still, since modem investigations have revealed the existence of small corpuscles <n the blood, tissues, and morbid products in almost every mlaspiatlc disease, and since Halller and others have succeeded in cultivating peculiar fungus-growths from those small corpuscles, there can be but little doubt that tbo latter arc the germs or sporulcs of those peculiar micro scopic fungi. Further, wherever a mi asma manifested Us presence iu a limit ed locality,—a swamp, an -inclosuro, or a stable, etc.,—by producing • a miasmatic disease, organic substances bare been found float Inglnthoalr. Consequently. HU to he presumed that the gqrms or sporulcs lound in the blood and humors of animals affected with mias matic diseases constitute tbo miasmatic princi ple, or ore closely connected with the same. However this may be, miasmata, in a great many respects.—fur instance, In ' their effect up on an animal organism,—are very similar to contagions. At anv rate, several miasmatic dis eases ore able to develop a contagion which. It communicated to other animals, acta in a simi lar way aa the miasma, by causing an infection, and producing the same morbid process. Tbo miasmata differ tfousldcrahlv, not only as to their effect upon an animal organism, but also on to their source. The latter—that Is, the na ture, origin, and composition of the decaying or putrefying substances, and tbo circumstances and conditions under which thu cor ruption or decomposition is proceeding— determine the nature of the miasma and its spcclilc effect upon an unlmal organism. Miasmata though olwoys a product of decay and putrefaction, effect, even In the same animal, different morbid processes, or different specific diseases, if derived from differ ent sources, or developed under different cir cumstances and conditions. For instance, the mUsmotlc effluvia of certain localities, to which certain conditions are existing, hut especially at ccrtaiu seasons of the year, cause fever and ague; miasmata developed In dirty and ill-ven tilated stables ana sk-k rooms are apt to cause peculiar typhoid diseases, or to give existing disorders a peculiar tvphold character: and miasmata proceeding from sowers and sink holes, etc., constitute frequently the cause of other, usually very dangerous, coses of typhus; That organic substances arc flouting in thu air. inclosed lu 111-vcnillotcd stables, etc., or stagnating over swamps, bugs, etc., is easily ascertained by collecting tbe dew from a stable-window, or from the vegetation of a swamp or bag. etc., ana examin ing tbs same under a good microscope. U will invariably be found to contain orgaulc sub stances. Further, such dew, although perfectly dear and limpid when first collected, will rauh become turbid, oud productive of a foul smell. Certain products of morbid processes or dis eases,—such as mucous, purulent, und gangre nous secretions,—which are not considered u being volatile, arise and vitiate the air of sick rooms or stables, and act like a contagion,— tnat is, cause pysmio und septle infections. Consequently, miasmata and contagions are very similar lu their effect upon an unlmal organism, and it Is not an easy task to distinguish, under all circumstances, the influence pf a miasma from that of a contagion.

It la possible some com plications might have arisen ont of the Fessen den’s interference, as It was rumored here that our Canadian neighbors were prepared to seise the revenue cutter If she attempted to pnll the vessel off. It Is doubtful whether they would have at tempted any such proceeding, a* the Coiled States gunboat Michigan wae close by, and would have rendered assistance If needed.' Considerable dissatisfaction Among logmen Is ex pressed over the chargee kuade for reporting at different Canadian ports. •At Harnla sl.lO is charged while at Point Edwards, two miles distant, $1.50 for reporting in charged? and atConrtricht $1.40 Is the stun asked.some one explain why there should be dlffcm|)»ftaro* charged at dif ferent points, and If part i i not for perquisites? An effort was made to collect &!. 00 harbor dues at Houdcan from the tng Gladiator a short time •luce, and other American tugs can mention sim ilar cases of imposition. The tug Kate Moffat, as predicted, has taken up her quarters at Barms, at a safe distance from her creditors. The tug Crnaader, apprehending danger from un paid bills and Deputy Marshals, has sought safety alongside the Gladiator and Kate Aloffat in Burma Bay, and will probably do no mors towing this season.
