INDEX TO THE TRANSACTIONS OF THE NEW- 

 YORK STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



VOLUME I. TO XVI. 



The Transactions of the State Agricultural Society, having now 

 reached the sixteenth volume, the whole work presents to the 

 farmer a mass of facts and observations, which embody every 

 varied duty of his vocation, and nearly every principle which 

 governs those duties and facilitates their accomplishment. 



Every one having occasion to refer to the work, has found 

 much difficulty in readily finding the volume to attest the facts 

 in relation to any one object, and may be likened to the annoy- 

 ance derived from an imperfect lock and bad key to a well stored 

 and rich granary. 



The period has arrived when " The Transactions " will be con- 

 sulted by every careful farmer who desires to know the experi- 

 ence and practice of others — farmers and intelligent men in our 

 own as well as other countries — in regard to modes of cultivation, 

 as well as the light which science has thrown upon agriculture. 

 But it will prove an impediment to many, that no direct means 

 exist for concentrating the knowledge contained in these volumes 

 upon any given subject. 



To facilitate a reference to the work, wliich has often been 

 called for, an index has been compiled ; and when the farmer or 

 man in pursuit of science connected with agriculture may desire 

 to ascertain how far tlie Society can aid liini in researcli, a few 

 minutes devoted to the index will point out all it possesses in 

 print, and the pages to be consulted. 



Every contributing author will find his name in the index, and 

 the title of his work. The action of the Society is indicated
