 Exhibition in 1833, made within tlic County, a premium 

 of - - - - - fifteen dollars. 



For the second best - - - ten dollars. 



REMARKS. 



These liberal premiums are offered for cider, with the hope 

 of obtaining some valuable information, as to the process of 

 maldng and jpreserving this article. Consequently it will be 

 expected of the claimants that diey will furnish a detailed state- 

 ment of their entire management, from the time of gathering the 

 fruit until the exhibition of the cider. Such a course of man- 

 agement, as could be imitated by our fnrraers generally, would, 

 have the preference. In these temperate times, when almost all 

 honest men admit that the use of ardent spmV is unnecessary 

 and injurious, when it is clearly proved that the best managed 

 farms are those where the least ardent spirit is used, it is ex- 

 pected that no ardent spirit will be used in this process. 



XL POTATOES.

 toes, on not less than half an acre of land, having regard to 

 quantity and quality ; a detailed statement of which Is to be
