THE NEW GENESEE FARMER, 



Vol. 



Waterloo Woolen Factory. 



Mkssps. Editoks — This faciory (cost and cnpital 

 $60,000) mnkcs about CUOO yards of dressed woolen 

 cloth per month. Its annual consumption of wool is 

 about 250,000 lbs.; the greater part of which ia pur- 

 chased IVom the farmers wagons at the factory. 



On Saturday last, between 10 o'clock and 4, there 

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

 part of which was paid for in cloth. It was compri- 

 ee'J of eighty diiVerent lots, and came from fiveof our 

 neighboring counties, including Seneca. For the 

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

 ligent, well dressed, rural population of men and wo- 

 men, many of the latter fupporling in their arms 

 those jewels, which the mother of the Gracchi ' did 

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

 ployment in measuring and cutting cloth, to say noth- 

 ing of the brisk and busy duties of the wool sorters, 

 or the more wordy, though the not less laborious task 

 of the superintendent or of that very active director, 

 friend Richaid himself. 



The cloth which this factory sells in New York, 

 Philadelphia, and Baltimore, affords but little prnllt at 

 this lime, owing to the depre-sed state of the maiket. 

 But the home trade was perhaps never more profita- 

 oble: and, what is better, it is daily incrensing and ex- 

 tending. The interests of the wool grower and man- 

 ufacturer, are fast becoming identical. Our shrewd, 

 intellieent farmers find it better, far better, to give a 

 liberal price to the manufacturer, who in return pays 

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

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

 their occupation, by destroying the market for their 

 wool. 



It is supposed by some woolen manufacturers ih.it 

 the minimum duty tiuder the compromise law of 20 

 per cent, on imported woolens, is not protection 

 enough for their cloth against the imported article. 

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

 rash down, argent complrmt, and that the la.\es and 

 e.xtra expense of living to the Tnglish manufacturer, 

 is more than another 20 per cent in favor of our man- 

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

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



'Tis true that capital is cheaper in England, and 

 that their operaiives do not get wages sufitcient to en- 

 able them, like ours, to monopolize all the sirloin 

 steaks of the market; bnt t!ie counilees number and 

 enormous weight of their taxes, ia more than an off- 

 ■et to our better living. S. W.

Messrs. Kditors — I believe it is not generally 

 Rnown to our farmars that Mr. S. Vernon, of Roan- 

 oke, in the town of Stallord, Genesee Co., imported 

 a fine Devonshire Bull in the summer of 183!). lie 

 was bred by Mr. Davy, the cdrbraled brendcr of North 

 Dcvons, in Devonshire, England, and selected by Mr. 

 Iladiey, of Staflord, (when on a visit to England,) a 

 pood judge of stock, and an intimate friend of Mr. 

 Davy. Mr. Verunn holds him at the niodirate price 

 of $:> per cow, and I think he will prove a valuable 

 acquisition to the graziers in Western New Yoik. 

 Yours &c. \V. GARBUTT.
