HARTFORD COUNTY SOCIETY RKPORTS. 



We liave to tliank some friend for the reports and 

 awards of tho various cornrnidnes at the Hartford Coun- 

 ty Cattle Show and Fair, on the 5lh and 6th insl., held 

 at Harll'ord, Conn. They do lionor to ihe Society, who 

 are entering upon a new career of duty with great spirit, 

 and belore wliom id opened a wide sphere of usefulness. 

 They will receive our early attention. If some parts of 

 oiirfjnod old (lornrnonvveallh, which we shall not name, 

 do not soon wake up from the long and dreamy nap in 

 which they have been sunk, they may depend on it, 

 Connecticut will have got out of sight in the progess of 

 improvement, before ihey have got on their shoes and 

 stockmge. f-f (j_ 



West IJRiocwArr.R, Nov. C, 1840. 

 Dear Sis, — I take the liberty to send you by Mr 

 Barrel, a box of seedling apples, with a request that you 

 will (orwaid a paitoflheni to the I inrlicullural e.thibi- 

 tion lo morrow. ,My only ni.. live in thus forcing them 

 on your notice and lh.it of the S..cicty, is, that the kind 

 may ba known to the public, especially to the cultiva- 

 tors of good Iruit. Tlie tree originated on my farm, is 

 a good bearer, and I consider it one of the nio>t valuable 

 fall apples with which 1 am aL-quainted ; they are fit 

 for use in September and can be kept till December. 

 You may call ihem Kingman's Seedling. I shall be 

 liappy t<i furnish scions to anv gentlemen who may de- 

 sire them, gratis. Make such disposition of this scrap 

 as you think best. 



Yours, respectfully, 



JOSEPH KINGMAN. 



[The apples, as above, came safe to hand, and we find 

 them about middling. The flesh it very tender and 

 juicy, tlie flavor a pleasant acid with a little astringent 

 taste, which will prevent their being classed among the 

 best of eating apples. Their appearance is very fine, 

 yellow with brown specs, and medium size. When 

 compared with the Lyscom, Porter and other fine fall 

 apples they must be called second rate.] J. B.

IllIPROVED VEGETABLE STEAMER. 



Just received at the N. F.. Agriculiural Warehouse and 

 Seed Store, Dr Warren's Patent Cylinder Vegetable Steamer, 

 for steaming all kinds of vegetables for Swine, Cattle, ^c. iri 

 large or small quantities. It can likewise be used for family 

 purposes-

 sure shouid get loo high. 



C, steam pipe passing from boiler to cask. 



D, pipe to supply the boiler with water from a cask or box 

 which is to be placed in such manner as to keep the boiler a- 

 boul two thirds full of waler ai all times, which answers as 

 a complete self regulator for supplving the boiler with water 



The above cut is not a true representation of the boiler, as 

 It appears at lenst one balflarger than it really is, in propor- 

 tion lo ihe cask. The boiler is merelv a small size cylinder 

 stove, with the fire inside, and surrophded by a sheet of wa- 

 ter from which passes a steam pipe to the barrel or box, the 

 cask or box can be removed .so as lo discharge the vegeta- 

 bles without any alteration of the boiler or steam pipe. 



The steamer can be removed from place to place without 

 any difljcully. VVood or coal can be used, and a few cents 

 worth of either will steam a large quantity of vegelables A 

 number of them have been m operation, and found to give 

 universal satisfaction. 



Farmers and oihers arc inviled lo call at our Warehouse 



and examine the article, which they will find lobe a very 



neat and cheap apparatus for Ihe purpose Price Sl2 and
