AGRICULTURAL ADDRESS. 



An Address delivered before the Onondaga Co. Agricultural So-^ 



ciety at their annual Fair, October 2d, 1846, by S. B. Wool- 



uorth,A. M., Principal of the Cortland Academy. 



It is not to lavish panegyric on Mr. Woolworth's address that 



we take this opportunity to notice it. We cannot, however, say 



less than this, that we have been instructed in perusing it, and we 



have no doubt the sound and practical views which it contains, 



will be highly appreciated by the enlightened body before whom 



it was delivered. 



We shall enrich the columns of our next number by a few 

 extracts from its pages. We regret that it was not received in 

 time for insertion in the present .number. 



Manna. — This substance is obtained from the mountains above 

 Iroposa, from a small leaved oak. It exudes from incisions made 

 in the stocks of the older trees and caught in cups made of the 

 leaves of manle. 



The Fat of Milk. — It is maintained that butter exists in milk 

 ready formed in globules, enveloped in a white translucent peli- 

 cle. In churning this globule is broken and the butter escapes. 

 The broken pelicles afterwards float about and gives consistence to 

 the buttermilk. 



Exchange Journal. — The Journal of Agriculture and the Trans- 

 actions of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland, just 

 received. 



Acknowledgements. — We are indebted to our distinguished 

 senator, the Hon. John A. Dix, for Congressional Documents. 

 To our friend E. G. Squier for the first annual report of the Ohio 

 State Board of Agriculture.
