The fifth annual fair of the Sullivan County Agricultural Soci- 

 ety was held at the village of Monticello, on the 13th and 14th 

 days of October, 1852. The weather was pleasant, and a large 

 number of persons were present. The number of members had 

 been largely increased since the last annual meeting, showing an 

 increasing interest in the prosperity of the society, and encourag- 

 ing the belief that it is producing a very beneficial effect on the 

 agricultural interests of the county. 



The first day was devoted to the exhibition of articles and ani- 

 mals, the inspection thereof by the several committees, and the 

 delivery of the annual address. The exhibition of stock was not 

 as large as in 1850, but the specimens were of a superior grade. 



The working oxen exhibited made a fine show. There were 

 some noble animals among thep-? The number of fine milch cows 

 induces the belief that our farmers fully appreciate the importance 

 of the dairy interest. The number of fat cattle was not large, yet 

 it was quite respectable. The number of fine bulls, shows that 

 our farmers are giving their attention to the improvement of their 

 stock. E. Bennett entered a yearling of the Durham blood,
