THE NEW GENESEE FARMER, 



Vol. 2. 



Waterloo Woolen FactoiT" 



MESSRS. Kditoieh — Ths loclory i cost nnd cni^ilnl 

 $30,000) mokes about COOO yards of drcsfed woolen 

 cl'iib per month. Its annual consuRiption of wool is 

 about 250,000 lbs.; the greater poit of •.vliicb is pur- 

 chased from the farmers wagons at the factory. 



On Saturday lost, betwetn If) o'duck and 4, there 

 was received there over 7000 lbs. of wool, ihc greater 

 part of whith was paid for in cloth. It was cotnpri- 

 secl of eighty diirerent lots, and came from live of our 

 neighboring counties, including Seneca. For the 

 time being, the sales room was crowded with an intel- 

 ligent, well drejied, rural population of n;en and wo- 

 men, many of the latter supporting in their arms 

 those jewels, which the mother of the Gracchi* did 

 boast of. Some half n dozen clerks had constant em- 

 ployment in measuring and cutting cloth, to ray noth- 

 ing of the brisk ond bi^sy duties of the wool sorters, 

 or the more wordy, though the not less laborious task 

 of tlie BU]ierintcndent or of that Tcry active director, 

 friend llicliaid himself. 



The cloth which this factory sells in New York, 

 ruiladclphid, and IJnltimore, atforda but little profit at 

 this time, owing to the drprcfsed state of the nioikei. 

 But the home trarle was peihnp^ never more profitn- 

 nble: fiid, what is better, it is doily increasing nod ex- 

 tending. The interents ^tf the wool grower ond man- 

 ufacturer, arc fnsl becoming iileiilical. Our shrewd, 

 intelligent farmers tiiid it better, far better, to give a 

 liberal price to the manulhcturer, who in return pays 

 tliem well for their wool, than to buy the imported ar- 

 ticle at a lower price, when thnt very article strikes at 

 their occupation, by destroying the market for their 

 wool. 



It is nujipoBod by some woolen manufacturers that 

 the minimum duty under the compromise law of 2(1 

 per cent, on imported woolens, is not protection 

 enough for their clolh ogniiu-t tlie impoited nriidc. 

 But when we reflect that this duty is to be paid in 

 cash down, argent eomptant, and that the taxes and 

 extra expense of living to the English manulneturcr, 

 is mire than another '20 per cent in favor ol our innn- 

 utacturcrs, we think, with some self denial and ordi- 

 nary economy, they will not have to shut up shop. 



'Tis true that copiial is cheaper in England, and 

 thnt their operntivea do not get wages sufficient tocn- 

 nble them, liko ours, to monopolize all the sirloin 

 bionks of the market; but the countless number and 

 enormous weight of their taxes, ii more ihnn an olT- 

 »ct to our better living. S. W.

Messrs. Editors — I believe it is not generally 

 Knnvu to our farmers tliiit Mr. S. Vernon, of Roan 

 oke, in the town of .S;alVord, (iencsee Co., imported 

 B fine Devonshire Bull in the auni.iier of I8S). He 

 was bred by .Mr. Uavy, the rchhriUtd lirerilcr of North 

 Ihrnaj, in Deronahire, England, and selected by Mr. 

 lliiley, of Staffird, (when on a vir'it to KnglanH,) a 

 Eoo 1 judge of stock, and an intimate friend of Mr. 

 Divy. Air. Vernon holds him at the moderate price 

 of $.'? per cow, and I think he will prove a "valuable 

 acquisition to the graziers in Western New York. 

 Yours Ac. W. GARBUTT.
