41S Agricultural Manual 



The New York, Ontario and Western passes through the 

 eastern part of the county, extending from Oswego to New York. 

 A branch runs between "Whites Corners in Eaton, and Randalls- 

 ville in Lebanon; another division extends through the town of 

 Madison northeast, sending branches to Rome and Utica. 



The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western passes through the 

 town of Hamilton, making connections at Utica with points east 

 and west, and at Binghamton with points south. 



The western part of the county is reached by the Lehigh 

 Valley Railroad, which connects at Canastota in the town of 

 Lenox, and at Rippleton in the town of Cazenovia with the 

 Xew York Central, and extends through to Cortland, where it 

 connects with the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western. 



The old Erie Canal, which passes through the northern part, 

 is navigable for small barges only. 



Improved Highways 



Near the southern shore of Oneida Lake an improved highway 

 extends across the northern towns, and from South Bay to 

 Canastota where it meets the road crossing the state. The latter 

 road also passes through Oneida, from which place two other roads 

 lead northwest to Rome. An improved highway extends from 

 Oneida south to Munnsville. This is being extended to inter- 

 sect the Cherry Valley turnpike at Pine Woods and connect 

 through Bouckville to Oriskany Falls in Oneida County; roads 

 at the latter place lead direct to Rome and Utica. 



From Bouckville a highway leads south to Hamilton, and 

 from Georgetown another leads south into Chenango County. A 

 road from the city of Cortland enters the west side of the town of 

 De Ruyter. 



There are in the county 89 miles of completed improved high- 

 ways, 23 miles additional being under construction. 



AVAILABLE MARKETS 



Oneida and Canastota are the two principal markets within 

 the county. Oneida is situated in the center of a hop and dairy 

 region. Extensive fanning factories are located at this place.
