Agricultural Fair.
Having attended all three of the
Orangeburg Agricultural Fair ploughing
'matches, 80 far, I have noticed the evident
lack of preparation by the agents of im
proved ploughs to show fully their merits
Vs the public.; i Ii is not only a passive
injustice to the inventors, owners and
salesmen; but it is actually giving the
champions of the country grasshopper
ploughs (rloppcis) the opportuniiy to
now*
Many intelligent, well educated, suc
cessful planters, have never used an im
proved plough, and some of our black
atni&aAver, that they can make a plough
that will turn under grass as well as the
expensive improved kind. Now hate
Collins, Brinljjy, Avery and others been
manufacturing and selling for thirty or
forty years at prices ranging from five
to tweiity^fiv?' dollars, when our knowing
neighbosr c?u make articles that can do
the work jest as well for two? If it is so,
it is time we were convinced. If it is not
no, then will the Agricultural Societies
stick a^iu there, and for the next year
invite special competition from the pincy
woodsshops for a good round premium
in money, und appoint a committee that
have ploughed, (not sat on the fence nnd
looked on)with both, nnd all kinds, to
decide?I think it will tell. Another
natter?a lawn of sandy loam is no place
t?test any plough. The agricultural
grounds here, afforded a tolerably diffi
cult field for this year, though only in
sandy soil, but with good cont of fallen
erab-gras?unfortunately no clay, pea
vines', or tall broom sedge
Present, the three gentlemanly agents,
representing the Collins, Brinley, and
Avery ploughs. Superintendent, com
mittees, and several supernumeraries and
lookefa .on; the ploughing appeared to be
a roaster Of riot much importance.
*BHb wo-hbisc'plbughing went off very
well, with the exception of a few mistakes
of the ploughman, a colored carpenter,
who knows.no more about ploughing than
ho docs about the use of a pen, helped by
the different suggestions of almost every
one on the ground.
The first furrow (of six) was turned
vert well, of course; the second was
turned hack against the first, tumbling
rooet'of the first back where it came from;
the'soil and clods of the second falling
in behind the plough. The pair of third
furrow slices were left standing on edge,
aa they could not well be turned over the
upheaved clods oi the second. The diffi
culty would have been overcome if the
first two slices had been taken thin so us
not to fall back, leaving a clean furrow
for the others.
The onodiorso ploughing by Mr Car
penter, and coadjutor was equally skillful.
Mule walks in the furrow where he has
been uwxt to go?plough follow* in the
"furrow" mfr' matter of course. Mule is
hawed to |hb left on the land, where he
is not accustomed to walk, by a dozen
voiced Plough shocts to the left?shoots
to the rjght?clogs?is jumped out hy
Carpenter, the way he does with floppers,
skipping'a few feet every timo. Plough
dips down, shoots out dips down again,
and is well shaken up from side to side,
as woujdiie done to one of the refractory
little Carpcqters who might misbenave;
the plough^ of course, making correspon
ding little potato hills for every shake.
At the close every one was satisfied, for
for every one had a voice in it, and there
were specimens of all kinds of ploughing.
Supernumerary No. 1, is ambitious to
plough, lie walks on the left of the
plough; supernumerary No. 2, suggests
that he should turn over refractory soils
.with his foot; supernumerary No. Jl,insists
that ploughman should walk in the fur
row after tho plough; supernumerary No.
4, suggests that ho at raddle his leg?, go
on both sides, and so comply with the
view* of all.
A ward on the coulter. A sharp knifo
. merely preffie4 ngninst your fine cloth
coat will-not cut, but even a dull ono,
slightly drawn lengthwise, will. It is
the phme with the coulter. In solid
sward,tho revolving r miter will, undoubt
edly, cut well; but with a cotton-like
bed of crab-grass, on a sandy loam, it
it will either roll over or press' in the
most of it, to bo gathered by the plough.
The hefgfit of tbo beam frostl? surface
of the soil, of the largo ploughs, only
keeps them from clogging badly. The
shape of the Watt plough is different and
it looks as though it might be superior
in this respect,,
All tire ploughs on exhibition were so
Bkilfaflly got up and so excellently shaped,,
that 'twould bo difficult even for an ex
pert to choose, much more so for a noviee.
If poetry, and the plough might touch
finger tips, I might write?
"Ok 11 could bo happy with either,
Where to'thor dea* charmer awayr"
Coming down a few notches, we' may
notice tho Watt and Dixie, (both un
scourcd.) They should not have been
brought int o competition with the polished
Briniey, Avery and* Collins, and othor
ploughs. 'Tis not doing all parties jus
tice. Like the countrymen at tho village
frolic, the good qualities are there, but
under a cloud. No doubt niuc out of
ten would think differently, but as a
breaking up plough in trashy land, I
should prefer the Dixie, the weight being
a littlo objectionable?next tho Watt. As
to the small oues, they are all good aud
beautiful, and I believe when only one
is used, the purchaser is always prcjudic
ed in its favor.
Looking over tho price list handed me
by the courteous representative from C.
Gravcley, of Charleston, tho cuts of the
"Universal Plough" mako mo think it
the most promising investment to one
who is short of mouey. Brains can cer
tainly make almost any crop with indus
try and the different parts of this change
able Briniey plough.
If I may be permitted, I would suggest
a long and short wing of saw blade steel
two inches wide to attach to tho right
side of the piece marked No. 11, thus
making a half sweep throwing only one
way,
Ono word of the inside Fair. It is
evidently a double leap. The feminine
department, including sweetments, ani
mate and inanimate' was. as with Adnni,
a temptation, an illusion, and a mystifica
tion. After passing a small table with
some bolts of lioraespun, a home made
homespun shirts, and oho or two pairs of
socks, stockings, etc.; full two-thirds of
the remainder was occupied by tho bijou
terie of femininity "Hands Off the Arti
cles." Your corrcspsudent has hid his
masculine fingers under his coat tails for
very fear, and walked through the sea of
crocheting, gone mod aud the froth and
foam of sewing machines, cogitating what
.proportion tho labor of all this would
(bear, to that of tho contents, of the single
table of simple but useful articles, con
tributed by open extra sensible woman.
But writing up the Fair is left to abler
pens, though tYis will be added. The
persistent effort* of the Pnst Master of
Orange Grange, P. of II., who is also the
President of the Orangeburg Agricultural
and Mechanical Association, aided by
several of the directors has at last broken
the shell which encumbered tho Agricul
tural Society chicken. It is now downy
but it is to be hoped that it will soou be
able to feather its own nest with plumage
of its own growing. M. L. BALDWIN.
