Vol. X. 



The attention of our farming readers is invited to 

 the communication of Reeve and Brothers, on page 

 229, in relation to the raising of water. In many 

 situations, particularly where rocks, &c. render wells 

 expensive, it is of great importance to be able to in- 

 troduce a supply of water for barn-yard and family 

 purposes at a cheap rale. We have understood from 

 Reeve and Brothers, that they would supply the neces- 

 sary machinery for $2.5. The pipe from the machine 

 to the yard would cost about six cents a fool ; that from 

 the spring to the machine would be larger, and of 

 course would cost more. 



The first slated meeting of the Chester County Hor- 

 ticultural Society, was held at West Chester the 17th 

 of last month. There was, as we have understood, 

 much interest taken in the matter, and we trust the 

 flowers and the fruit will hereafter be more closely 

 looked to. 



We learn from the JVasMngton Reporter ot the 31sl 

 ult. that a call is made for a public meeting, to be held 

 at the Courthouse in Washington, Pa., on the ISth 

 inst., for the purpose of organizing an Agricultural 

 Society for Washington county. 



The New York State Agricultural Pociety decided 

 at its annual meeting on the 21st ultimo, that its next 

 Exhibition and Fair should be held at Auburn, Cayuga 

 county, on the 15th, lljth, and 17th of the Ninth month 

 next. They also elected 



J. M. Sherwood, Auburn, President; 



Robert 11. Ludlow, Abram Bockee, E. P. Prentice, 

 Thomas I. Marvin, Pomeroy Jones, I. R. Speed, H. S. 

 Randal, and Lewis F. Allen, Vice Presidents; 



Luther Tucker, Recoriiing Secretary ; 



Joel B. Nott, Corresponding Secretary; and 



J. M'D. M'Intyre, Treasurer. 



C. F. Crosman, of Briv'hton, is said to have raised 

 the past season 410 bushels of carrots on one quarter 

 of an acre; and has grown about 1000 bushels of beets 

 to the acre. 



Inqhiry has been made as to "what course of ma- 

 nagement will prevent the discouraging disease of 

 mildew on grapes in cold graperies, and what remedy, 

 cure it?" Perhaps the few remarks of T, on page 207, 

 may throw some light on the subject. We would be 

 glad if he, or some one else, would give more extended 

 information in the premises.
