Cayuga County. 



The firet annual Fair of the Cayuga County AgiS** 

 cultural Society was held at Aubu n, Oct. loth ai (a'' 

 14th. The Auburn Journal boyt — " There wbb H'' 

 fine display of cattle, horses, sheep and swine prese tfi'' 

 ted for competition on the firet day ; and on the 2n B " 

 a goodly variety of the products of horticulture, ve if'" 

 etablee and fruits of the garden and orchard ; as wi ^1* 

 as domestic manufactured goods of wool, silk and a ii*'" 

 ton. The result so far, has been highly gratifying <•' 

 the friends of the most important interest of the com >«1S 

 try — Agriculture — us it has shown conclusively tli ti^ 

 Cayuga is little behind the best counties of the slat iiii' 

 in the true sources of wealth." If 



We intended to publish the complete list of prcB i«l 

 urns, but find our space will not permit. I'm 



The Commiitee on Silk reported that ihe beetap if' 

 cimen of Cocoone was presented by Mr. Joeeph I 1'=' 

 Wood, of Montezuma, and the premium of |,-2 wi W 

 awarded to him. There was also presented by 

 Fitch, and H. Polhemus, two lots of eewing silk ol H'' 

 superior quality, manufactured in the State Prison.' 

 'I'he silk is equal to any Italian silk now in use. Tl C^ 

 opinion of the coramiticc is that the growing of ■ fi' 

 might be made profitable. 



Datid Tliomas, Chairman of the Committee 1 

 Fruils, remarked, that "considering the pleasu 

 with w hich our citizens receive a ptcscnt of fiiiefrv 

 the Committee are not a little surprieed al the indiflc Ijl' 

 encc and neglect manifested in the cultivation of U 

 superior varieties." 



Great crop of Corn. — " The committee on grain 

 warded to Joseph F. Oshorn, the first premium of J 

 for the besl crop of corn, prcsi nied by epccimens, bo 

 in quality of seed and quantity produced, which ie 1' 

 bushels 1 1 pounds to the acre. 



The second premium of $i5 /orqnantily, (121 hue 

 els 15 lbs. to ihc acre,) was awarded to James She 

 man, of Spiingport. The seed we conceive not ofll 

 best kind." 



We ehould feel obliged il some friend would sei 

 ue a particular account of these torn crops — soil, ci 

 lure, kind, mode of measurement, &-c. — Eds.

Cortland County. 



The third annual Fair of this Society wds Ik Id 1 

 Cortland Village on the 5ih ult. The Democrat 

 " The day was uncommonly clear and pleasant, ar 

 the display of animals was larger and far finer thon t 

 any preceding ocrasion." Judging from the publisl 

 ed report we should think that the number or 

 omount ofpremiumsoflered were entirely too small 

 c.\cite epimcd competition ; but we presume thiewi 

 be improved hereafter. We observe that our fricn 

 Col. H. S. Randall, the worthy Corresponding Sei 

 rotary of ihe Stale Society, carries off' the palm i 

 most kinds of Cattle and fine wooled ehceu:

Great Yield of Corn"C!osc Planting. 



A Scotch farmer residing in the town of Sodni 

 Wayne county, N. Y. informs us Ibat he raised, lb 

 past season, 400 bushels of Indian Corn on 4 acres 1 

 land, notwiihstanding the ilrynets of ihe season. H 

 attributes his euccess mainly to his manner of plani 

 ing, and iliinks that larmers generally plant too thin 

 ly. His mode is, to plant in rows 3 feet apart, ail' 

 drop two grains in a place only 15 inches apart in th 

 rows. The variety used ie the Rod Blazed Flint 

 Tje soil is sandy loam, and 100 loadsof manure wer 

 put on the 4 acres. The corn was ripe and cut sufli 

 ciently early lo sow the ground with wheat.

 worthy ct it.
