 Tae draum in this Sti.ie has opened with a g.and 

 Muss Mating at Syincuss. We hope the ibonsundo 

 of farmers who jverc there will impart tbe light spirit 

 tj l.ieir friends and neigiibors ; and that ail wj)l Ui.ite 

 to give iile and inleie-it to the coiijily exbibiiions. 

 Tne whole country — especially tbe Emjjiie Slulc :S 

 nir.v wulii.ig vp on tiiis suLjtct, and we believe the re- 

 Bulta Will be such ea will convince every one oi' the 

 Uicfulneis ofogritu'tuial s.icietiei and of the wise pull- 

 ey el our Legislature in giunting tbem cncouiage- 

 nieiit. 



Tin (ijjiccrs and town commillces of the county so- 

 oielics siiould consider that the cfTieicncy and useful. 

 11J85 of tbe society mainly dependd upon them. The 

 cxliibitiona are noiv close at hand and vigoious efforts 

 siiiiuld lie made to obtain iiicnibsisand funds, and per- 

 suade farmers to bring their onimals and productions 



to llie fairs. 



We regret thot more pcfeet informalion respecting 



the societies in this Slate and eUewlieie, has not been 



furnished us. We are proud of Western iVew-Ymk, 



however — our Gcucscg Country hns organized nobly : 



and we ate sure tbe f-\Uibitions wiil do her fu iners 



h nor.

We arc gl.id to perceive that feveral Societies jiro- 

 pose to award ngricuharal books and papers, insteod of 

 money, for the tmnllcr clats of prcniitmis. We be- 

 ievc it will in general be quite as eaiiofnctory and 

 much more beneficial to the recipients. Tbe Gene- 

 see county Society oflers more than ai-ity copies of the 

 New Gane?ce Farmer, together with other papers and 

 books, in their list of premiums for their approaching 

 Fair. We appreciate the compliment, Genilomen 

 Manogers, and lender you our tbiinks. 



Our acknowledgments are nUo due to iheolRccre ot 

 the Niaanra D strict Agricultural Sfciety in Canada, 

 ior Tin order lately received ti>r sixty copies. The 

 Trcnsnrcr informs us that great good has been seen to 

 result from the circulation of our paper among the 

 members of that Sn-i'ty — Thus it will always be. 



New .^giicuUuial Papers. 



We find on our table quite a number of new ' Ex- 

 changes' seeking our aciiu.iintoncc, some of w'nicb we 

 liave toj lung neglected. Almost every day affords 

 US new nnd grat.fying evidence of tbe indenting de- 

 mand for ngncultmu! lending ; and convinces us that 

 the time is last approacliing when no intelligent farm- 

 er in our land will consent to bo witiioutoi Icuct one 

 paper devoted to bis prolisesion.

 great satisfaction. It is a very neat duodecimo 

 partiphlet of ninety-six papres, and contains, be- 

 sides lljc usual calendar, &c., n lago amount of very 

 nsclijl and intoreeting mauer relating to agriculture, 

 horticulture and int-il alTuirs, with nnnieroMs spirited 

 engrnyiiigs by &].-. Furstcf. Tiic eha;ter on Swine

 this way. The price is $'2 per do2cn, or '25 cents 

 single. It con be sent by mail if desired — t; e postcgo

Otir Fri8!id-> in Cauadil. 



The hearty weleoiiie and genuine old-country bos- 

 pitoliiy which we usually meet with among tbe Eng- 

 lish and -'•"cotch formers in Cui'oda, always makes us 

 regret thot our visits in that country cannot be longer 

 nnd more frequent. Wiiilc on a hasty tour in that 

 province last month, we collsd nt o p'eitant cottage 

 fronting the lake and surrounded by n beautiful gar- 

 den, occupied by two Eiglish friends, one a bachelor, 

 and the other wiih a better-half from one of tbe best 

 dairy districts in England. We hod, on one or two 

 former occasions been sruck iviih the peculiar e.\cel- 

 lence and great variety of ihc table luxuries produced 

 from her doiry. Twoofiheso, "Junket" and "Clot- 

 ted Cream," are larely met with in this eoiuiiiy, nl. 

 though wiih some ol us tbcy moy be associated with 

 the bappies-. recollections of our cbihihood. At our 

 request, our fiiend furnished us directions forpiepar- 

 ing these dishes, which we give our readers. 



TO PRtl'-MiE J^)^KET, 



Take one quart of milk warm from the cow, and 

 stir in a teaspoonful of rennet, and let it stand lill cur- 

 ded, which, if tbe rennet is of proper strength will 

 be in about fifteen minutes ; grate over it a little nut- 

 meg, and sweeten with mcple molasses or honey. It 

 is an excellent dish for supper. 



SCALUKI), OR CLOTTED CUEAM. 



Tiike a pon of peifec.ly sweet milk, twelve hours 

 old, with tbe cream on ; stand it on a stove or lurnnce 

 over a gentle fire till sliuhlly scalded, " when n ring
