Letter from Lornpoc Temperance Colony. Editor AoEicuLTnEisT;—I am a close reader of your valuable paper, and have not seen an3-thiug from this section of late. I said "valuable" paper, but hesi- tated about using so hackneyed a term. But I speak it conscientiously. Your columns do contain such varied, reliable and instructive reading matter, alike for the farmer, his wife and his children, and the moral tone is so sound and strong, without any whining or cant, that I feel free to use the word " valua- ble" advisedly. In this "Temperance" Colony your paper is, and ought to be, appreciated for the noble stand you take against advocating, countenancing or advertising intoxicating liquors as nec- essary to the public good or as any part of so honorable a calling as agriculture. God speed you, say many of us, in your denunciation of those who i^rostitute what should be useful Agricultural Fairs into gambling, horse-racing, pool-selling, black-leg institutions. I am truly glad to see you and other agricultural papers advocating the drying of grapes for raisins, making of syrup, jellies, etc., or even feeding them to hogs, instead of making of them liquor, the curse of our age and country. I must think you are thus doiug the State a substantial ser- vice, and not less the grape-raisers than the consumers. There must be a great and increasing demand for all dried and preserved fruits. Take new territory like this, filling up so rapidly; until our trees and vines bear sufficient for home con- sumption we afford a good market for green, dried and preserved fruits. I often wonder that those who produce these wholesome and desirable strples do not commtiuicate with some merchants, or grangers, and supply, direct, the com- muuity, without first selling
