Gypsf.v is from the herd of ttc late S. Van Renfstlncr, Esq. ; is seven yenis old, post. She provee Uerseir vnlunble for stock. Mr. Fuller hns hnd ihree heifer 

 calves from her in three yenrB, and all of them promise to ninUe fine animals. Sbe ia remarkably er iy kept, thrives rixdily end is a very good hnndlcr. It is not 

 known how much milk she would give through n season, as she has alnnys suckled her calves. Mr. Fuller's mode of raising them is, to let ibcm run in the posture 

 with the cow, the first summer, then treat them ibc same as the rest of his stuck. 



( The above drawing was taken at the Syracuse Fair, and is believed to be very correct. Mr. Fuller has not bad an opportunity !(• inspect it. — Ens ) 



Mr. A)len'$ Importations'of lStock< 



Mr. A. 5.- 4-llen paid us a short visit a few days 

 since, on bis way banic from England. He has been 

 very fiwcesslul in the Prai.ch.ase and importation of 

 some very .superior nnifliols. Tlw first shipment was 

 per packet abip Mediator, npd coiifiisteif of Berksh re 

 swine of very large size. One ol ihese ''stood three 

 feet high, of great length, and wcul^ fatten {o vyeigh 

 about 8U0 Iba." Another sbipinent .was per p^ixt 

 ship Wellington ; and l.iet a general aeisonmcut at- 

 tojjipanicd by himself, per the Jlendrick Hudson, cm- 

 bracing some very large swine of the Yorkshire end 

 KeniKvorlh breeds, which, it is stated in the Farmer's 

 Journal, will (jtten to weigh 1600 lbs., but Mr. Al- 

 len thinka the moxinuim about 1300. (Large enough 

 in all conscience, erd we think Mr. A. can now sat- 

 jefy even the Kentu<:kiflna.) 



(^From i/tc A'ew I'osk CommcTcial Adtertiser ] 

 jMPojirKn Stock. — We are happy to announce the 

 roUi.''U from England of our friend A. B. Allen, Esq., 

 of Buliuli), who has visited .Grtnt Britain upon an ag- 

 ricultural tour, «nd inspected all ihe principal herds of 

 /he Kingdom. Pcfhnps wo have ;io one who could 

 bave done this to better advputage. Mr. Allen has 

 l;ng been devoted to t'le br.ncding o( cattle, and has 

 raised sime beautiful Uuilmjus and pigs, such as we 

 have never seejt surpassed. He now brings home 

 from hje excursion a large cnlWtiou of South Downs, 

 Yorkshire, Kenihvurth and Berksliirc pige, Khcimnl's 

 dogs, i)orkiug fowls, English pli£aeanis, &-,c. He has 

 iiflder bis car£, some valuable sheep, worib $500 per 

 bead, lor Mr. Stevenson, Bishop Mende, of Va., and 

 F Uuich, Esq , of Oisego co., N. Y. Mr. Hutch's 

 lamb is a South Down, only 6i.Y months old, and 

 Weighs K/2 lbs. It is indeed an acquisiliotl to our 

 etnto, and we dnuht not will be a source of profit to 

 i); impor'.ir. Mr A. came n pasEcngor inthcHcc- 



drick Hudson, Captain Morgan. The lost named 

 gentleman brought out n very fine Durham cow for 

 bis own farm on the Connecticut. 



Oneida Oaauty. 



The Cattle Show and Fair of this county, was held 

 at Homiiton, on the 20ih and 21st ult.^The itMitan 

 Citizen says respecting it, "although the weather was 

 unfavorable, the extent of the exhibition exceeded all 

 expectation, and the village ol Hampton was filled to 

 o'/ciflowing in every nook and corner. It has ex- 

 ceeded all our most zealous friends bad dared to hope— 

 and it has, forever, we trust, put to silence the evil 

 forebodings of those, who have projihesied evil of this 

 Association, dosignud to do so much good to the 

 Farmers and Meehanicaof this county. The display 

 of working Cattle, Cows, young Cattle, Sheep and 

 Swine, was very fine, in the Dairy Department, 

 Oneida has done her dutv. The samples of Butter 

 and Cheese, were such as to -.hallenge competition. I 

 In Domestic Fabrics, there .was a sad deficiency but 

 we trust it will not be so anolber year. 



There were many fuie horses exiiibiled, tljojigb ' 

 great improvement ia needed in breed of .horses, and 

 some matched and draught horses, ns well as Studs, 

 and breeding MarcB, were of the choicest description. 



The amotintof premiums paid, was i^GH." 



The report on Field Crops, we deem valuable for 

 the purpose of comparison :

New Goiiesec Faimer. 



We dcuiht whether there is any thing of which the 

 " Empire Slate" has n.ore occasion to be proud, than 

 cf its Agricultural Liieniturc. 'i'be Cultivator at Al- 

 bany, and tbeGcncEce Farmer at Kocliester, are both 

 notle repositories of agricultuiol science, and with 

 their ijumcnse circulation, n UBt have a mighty intlii- 

 cuce on the farming Intel ests ol that and llie iieigl bor- 

 ing States. As their successive luimhers come before 

 us7 we cannot' but ndiiiiie the tichiKss ol their con- 

 tents, nor forbear rclleciing on the biiieicia! le.-ulls, 

 th.Tt must flow fiom such niiextmbivc diiiution ofng.
