Clayiiga County. 



The first onnual Fair of the Cayuga County Agri 

 cultural Society was held at Aubu n, Oct. 13ih am 

 14ih. The Auburn Journal sayt — " There wos 

 fine display of catde, horses, sheep and swine prescn 

 ted for competition on tlie first day ; and on the 2nd 

 a goodly variely of the products of honiciillure, ve] 

 etables and fruits of the garden and orchurd ; as wel 

 as domestic manufactured goods of woo!, silk ond cot 

 ton. The result so far, has been highly gratifying ti 

 the friends of the most important interest of the coun 

 try — Agriculture — as it has shown conclusively tha * 

 Cayuga is little behind the best counties of the state ""^^ 

 in the true sources of wealth." 



We intended lo publish the complete list of prom: 

 ums, but find our space will not [lermit. 



The Commiitee on Silk reported that ihc beet spe 

 cirnen of Cocoons was presented by Mr. Joseph C 

 Wood, of Montc-zumo, and ihe premium of $2 wo 

 awarded lo him. There wos olso presented by A 

 Fitch, and H. Polhcmus, two lo^ of sewing silk of 

 superior quality, manufactured in the Stale Prison. - 

 The silk is equal to any Italian silk now in use. Th 

 opinion of the committee is that the growing of sil 

 might be made profitable. 



Datid Thomas, Chairman of the Committee o 

 Fruits, remaiked, that "considering the pleosur 

 with « hich our citizens receive a pi csent of fvnefrvi 

 iheCommitloe ore not a little surprised at the indifle 

 encc and neglect manifested in the cultivation of th 

 superior varieties." 



Great crop of Corn. — "The cominittce on grain t 

 worded to Joseph F. Osboin, the first premium of fj^t 

 for ihc best ciop of corn, presinied by specimens, boi 

 in quality of seed and quantity produced, which is 14 

 bufchels 11 pounds to the acre. 



The second premium of §5 (or quantity, (191 butl 

 els 15 lbs to the acre,) was awarded to James She 

 nion, of Spiingi on. The seed we conceive not ofih 

 best kind." 



We should feel obliged i( some friend would ten 

 us poriicular account of these torn crops — soil, cu 

 lure, kind, mode of mcnsurement, &c. — Eds. 



Cottlaiid County. 



The third annual Fair of this Society wos held : 

 Cortland Village on ihe 5ih ult. The Democrol to; 

 " The day wls uncommonly dear and pleasonl, ar 

 the display of animals was larger and for finer than t 

 any preceding occasion." Judging from ihe publit 

 ed report we should think ihat the niiinhor ai 

 amount of premiums oflTeicd we.'e entirely too small 

 excite spirited competition ; but we presume thisw 

 he improved hereafter. We obseive that our frici 

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

 rclary of ihe State Society, carries oil' the palm 

 most kinds of Cattle ond fine wooled sheep:

Great Vield of Corii—CIose Planting. 



A Scotch farmer residing in the town of Sodn 

 Woyne county, N. Y. informs nslhot he raised, li 

 post season, 400 butbcls of Indian Corn on 4 ocres 

 lond, notwithstanding ll.e dryncts of llie season. 1 

 attribules bis success mainly to hismonnerof plan 

 ing, and thinks that ioimcis generally plant loo thii 

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

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

 rows. The variety ntcd is the Red Blazed Flin 

 The soil is sandy loom, and jOO loads of manure we' 

 put on the 4 ocres. The corn was lipe and cut sull 

 ciendy early to sow the ground vi'iih v^hiat. 



An Objfct of Ambition. — It may not be in yot 

 power to excel many peo]ile in riches, honors, or i.b. 

 itics ; but yon may e.'icci thousands in goodneta 

 heart. Hitherto ijun yiur ombition. It is on i IJe 

 woitiiy<fit.
