the Fifth Avenue, with commodious rooms on the 
premises for accommodating the committees. The 
plowing and spading matches will be held in New 
York, or its vicinity. For particulars, see agricultural 
circular. 
The anniversary and other addresses will also be 
delivered in the course of the second week. The hor¬ 
ticultural exhibition of vegetables, fruits, flowers, &c., 
will be in Niblo’s long promenade, and superintended 
by eminent horticulturists. Great varieties of rare 
seeds have been, the last year, scattered by the Insti¬ 
tute over our country, with the express understanding, 
that a portion of their products be brought to the Fair, 
to swell the beauties of the display. The great sa¬ 
loon, and the second story of the north wing, will, 
as usual, be reserved for the fabrics of the factory 
and workshop; made of cotton, woollen, silk, and 
all the varieties of metals and other substances, the 
fruits of that genius and invention, which have com¬ 
manded the admiration of the world. The first floor 
of the north wing of the saloon will be animated by 
moving machinery, propelled by our best model steam 
engines, to afford visible, practical evidence to all of 
their merits and value. 
The best new and useful inventions will be objects 
of the highest honors. Also, establishments afford¬ 
ing large varieties of specimens of well constructed 
agricultural and horticultural machines and imple¬ 
ments ; but in no case, for want of competition, or 
other cause, will any article be entitled to premium, 
if adjudged intrinsically not deserving particular com¬ 
mendation. 
This first general appeal is made to our countrymen 
as a notice for preparation. Others more in detail 
will follow. Thousands and tens of thousands of 
ingenious and patriotic friends, we know, stand ready 
to contribute their utmost efforts to perfect and embel¬ 
lish every art, agreeable or useful to our Republic. 
Past experience convinces us, that on the coming oc¬ 
casion, American genius and industry, in all their 
numberless products, will show forth more conspicu¬ 
ously than ever. All classes of this great people are 
invited to think of our objects, and the effect of the 
countless specimens of new inventions and old ones 
improved—of improved fabrics of finer finish and 
lower prices, by processes unheard of before—all sub¬ 
mitted to the examination, scrutiny, reflection, and 
discussion of hundreds of thousands of inquiring and 
enterprising freemen, for weeks, at seventeen succes¬ 
sive anniversaries. By such means improvements 
must receive acceleration, and the comforts of life for ; 
the millions, multiplied, improved, and brought nearer 
the reach of all. 
The Managers will do all that unbought zeal can 
do, to make this Eighteenth Celebration of American 
Industry and the Arts worthy of our great city, and 
honorable to the nation. Our most able and distin¬ 
guished citizens will be invited to address the visiters 
on subjects embracing the solid welfare of the whole 
Onion. To sustain our best public institutions, we 
have a willing population, that possess more original 
native capabilities for producing great results than has 
ever before been found on the globe ; enjoying full 
liberty for the exertion of all their powers, both of 
body and intellect. By the cultivation of only one 
American staple, Christendom is supplied with a large 
proportion of her clothing. And our silk culture., if 
pursued with skill and confidence, may soon afford 
silk for as many more. 
The steamboat, which is rapidly conveying know¬ 
ledge, civilization, and the arts, into the remotest 
western prairies, and the most sterile African deserts, 
is emphatically a product of American genius and 
skill. 
Let our whole people, with united zeal, energy and 
power, uphold and sustain all well devised means for 
advancing, perfecting, and perpetuating our industry, 
wealth, liberty, and glory.

TO PURGE A HORSE QUICKLY. 
When medicine is administered to a horse with 
his bowels in a natural state, or costive, it will not 
operate in less than twenty hours, and is frequently 
thirty to forty in doing so. When the horse’s bowels 
are purging, medicine will act very rapidly; this 
arises from the great irritability of his bowels, and 
purging with him is always the result of inflamma¬ 
tion. On the other hand, costiveness is the cause of 
inflammation. When there is inflammation of the 
bowels in the horse , purgative medicine should never 
be given. In nine cases out of ten, when severe, the 
medicine will be fatal. Palliative treatment, not reme¬ 
dial, is to be resorted to in cases of inflammation. 
When purges are to he used, this must be borne in mind. 
To the horse, fasting and thirsty, give one to two 
pounds of Glauber salts, with plenty of warm water, 
in which has been stirred some meal. In three or 
four hours after, give an injection, composed of three 
gallons of warm water, one quart of common cheap 
oil of any kind, or melted lard, one quart of molasses, 
and half a pound of salts, all well mixed up together 
If the first injection does not produce purging, give a 
second. If the horse have no inflammation, give him 
exercise, if he has, avoid it carefully, and keep him 
cool. A. Stevens. 
Great Milkers. —I often read in various papers 
of what this and the other man’s cow has done. I 
have a cow which has given for ten days in June, 
from 54| to 63 lbs. of milk per day. She is one-fourth 
Durham. I have a pure bred Durham heifer, which 
gave for some time from 41 to 44 lbs. per day; and 
several others about the same. 
I have for sale the pure blood Mackay pigs, and the 
Southdown sheep, and a very likely pure blood Dur¬ 
ham bull, which I have had with my cows three 
seasons. I sell him in order to change, that I may 
not breed in and in. Wm. Cushman.
