1847. 



GENESEE FARMER. 



237 



was Ex-President Tyler, Prof. Hare, of Phila- 

 delphia, Hon. Ellsworth, Indiana, and Gov. Hill, 

 Editor of the Farmer's Visitor, of New Hamp- 

 shire. 



The able and interesting address we publish 

 elsewhere in this number. We shall endeavor 

 to give the award of Premiums next month, a 

 copy of which we have not yet received. 



Monroe Connty AgricuUural Fair. 



The officers and friends of this Society have 

 reason to congratulate themselves on the eeal 

 and spirit with which the farmers of the county 

 turned out and competed for the numerous pre- 

 miums. An equal display of Horses, Cattle, 

 Sheep, and Swine, we have never seen at any 

 previous Fair of the Society. The exhibition 

 the second day, in connection with the Horticul- 

 tural Society, was truly splendid. We have 

 never seen so good a show of Fruit and garden 

 vegetables in the State. This is saying a good 

 deal, for the writer has probably attended more 

 Fairs within the last five years than any other 

 man in New York. The Editor of this journal 

 delivered a short address to a crowded audience. 



Jefferson County Fair. 



We attended the recent Fair of the Jefferson 

 County Agricultural Society, at Watertown. It 

 is truly a model Society, which owns a perma- 

 nent Hall 105 feet in length and .50 in width. 

 Large as this building is, it could hold only about 

 one-third of the farmers, their wives, sons and 

 daughters, who attended the recent Festival. In 

 many things they beat the Fair at Saratoga. Had 

 we room, we should take pleasure in naming 

 many things we saw, and in commending the 

 zeal of the President and other officers of the 

 Society in the cause of agricultural improvement. 



The Editor's address is published in the Wa- 

 tertown newspapers. We are not certain whe- 

 ther it will do to give so much space to it in the 

 Farmer or not. It is not often that we write out 

 our remarks on such occasions. 



To Correspondents. 



Communications have been received, during 

 the past month, from John Johnston, S. W., A 

 Subscriber, H. Bristol, Nathaniel Smith, T. P., 

 Jefferson Scott, *, R. P. Stevens, D. A. Ogden, 

 N. Simons, S. D. Beers. 



The publication of the Address delivered at 

 the State Fair compels us to defer several com- 

 munications intended for this number. 



Orleans County Fair. 



We are informed by a gentleman who was 

 present, that the late Fair of the Orleans County 

 Agricultural Society, held at Albion, was numer- 

 ously attended. He speaks of the exhibition as 

 highly creditable to the Society and the farmers 

 of Orleans. Eveiy thing passed off spiritedly 

 and pleasantly. We regret that we were unable 

 to attend. 



An English Clergyman, at Brussels, has 

 invented a motive power, which promises to 

 rival steam. It is founded on the compression 

 of fluids. Eight pails of water it is computed, 

 would be sufficient to cai-ry a vessel to the East 

 Indies. 



COLE'S AMERICAN VETERINARIAN, or Diseases of 

 Domestic Animals, showing the Causes, Symptoms, and 

 Remedies, and rules for restoring and preserving health 

 by good management, with full directions for Training 

 and Breeding. By S. W. Cole, Esq., one of the edi- 

 tors of the Boston Cultivator. Published by John P. 

 Jewktt &l Co., Boston, andC. M. Saxton, New York. 



The above is the title of a very useful work, a 

 copy of which we have received from each of 

 the publishers. It is replete with valuable mat- 

 ter to all persons who are breeders or owners of 

 domestic animals, and worth ten times its cost to 

 almost any farmer. We are informed that it has 

 already had an extended sale. It is a neat vol- 

 ume of nearly 300 pages, bound in leather, and 

 sold at .50 cents. We presume it can be obtained 

 of booksellers generally throughout the country. 



Livingston County Fair. 



We learn from persons present that this ban- 

 ner county for noble stock fairly beat herself at 

 its recent Cattle Show. We rejoice to see so 

 many evidences of progressive improvement in 

 all rural pursuits, in Western New York. Ag- 

 riculture is rapidly rising in public esteem, and 

 ere long Practical Science will achieve the most 

 auspicious results. Let the labor of the Hands 

 and the culture of the Intellect go together, and 

 we shall soon possess a nation of Farmers such 

 as the wise men of the last generation never 

 dreamed of. Learning, science, and rural in- 

 dustry must rise or fall together in this Republic. 



The next Fair is to be held at Mt. Morris. — 

 The following gentlemen were elected officers 

 for the ensuing year : John R. Murry, Jr., 

 President ; Samuel J. Mills, Secretary ; and 

 Henry Swan, Treasurer.
