Oshkosh, April 14th, 1857. 



CALUMET COUNTY. 



A few individuals from the towns of Stockbridge, Manchester, 

 Chilton, Charlestown and New Holstein in Calumet County, 

 met at Stockbridge on the 8th of July, 1856, and organized the 

 Calumet Co. Agricultural Society, electing Geo. A. Jenkins 

 President, and Jacob B. Deuel Secretary. 



It being so late in the season, it was thought by many that 

 there should be no attempt made to hold a fair this season, but 

 after some deliberation, the Executive Committee decided to 

 hold a fair at Chilton on the 15th and 16th of October. 



The Fair was held according to the appointment of the Exec- 

 utive Committee, and, considering the short space of time and 

 sparseness of population in this timbered county, (in which most 

 of the people are poor, having but small clearings,) there was 

 considerable interest manifested. 



The Horses entered were not numerous, yet some very fine 

 specimens. Also, of Cattle, which were mostly of Native Stock ; 

 not many Blooded Cattle in this County. Swine but few in 

 number, but fine.
