STOCK. 
F irst great annual sale of Durham and dairy 
stock, in Westchester County, New-York, by JAMES M. 
MILLER, on the farm of JAMES BATHGATE, Esq., one mile 
from Fordham, and fourteen miles from the City Hall, New- 
York City, by the Harlem Railroad, cars running hourly, will 
take place on the 27th day of September, 1853. 
Having been solicited by numerous cattle-breeders in my 
native county of Westchester, to get up a sale in which all 
may participate to any desired extent, whether wishing to 
sell one or more animals, and my old friend, James Bathgate, 
having kindly consented to give the use of his capacious pre¬ 
mises upon which to make the first experiment, I have made 
the above announcement, and now invite all persons having 
high-bred grade cattle for sale, either in this or the adjoining 
States, to participate in the advantages offered. The name 
and full description of animals intended for sale, with the 
owner’s name and residence, must be sent to my office, No. 
81 Maiden Lane, New-York, before the 15th of September, to 
be inserted in the catalogue, which will be ready lor delivery 
on the 22d of September. The cattle must be on the ground 
before 10 o’clock on the day of sale, or the evening previous, 
if possible, which will commence precisely at 12 o’clock, rain 
or shine. 
The charges for selling, including all charges of advertising, 
catalogue, commission, Ac., will be $5 per head, except where 
special bargains are made for calves or low-priced animals. 
None but cattle of well-known breed of established character 
will be received, and every animal offered must be sold without 
reserve. If the experiment is successful, a sale will be Held 
every year at some convenient point, making a great Fair for 
the farmer and improved stock-breeder. 
To those who know me, it is needless to say I have sold more 
blooded cattle than any other man in America; and to others, 
it is sufficient guaranty that the proposed sale will be fairly 
and houorahly conducted. JAMES M. MILLER,

SCHOOLS. 
mTEW-YORK STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.—THIS 
Institution was chartered by the Legislature of the 
State of New-York, for the purpose of presenting to agricul¬ 
turists the means for acquiring a knowledge ot the arts and 
sciences appropriate to their vocation; to prepare students 
for practical, active labor, by training the mind in a system 
which shall inculcate an intimate acquaintance with the sci¬ 
ences essential to agricultural success. To insure the deve¬ 
lopment of principles and their application to the soil, the 
Legislature lias required the purchase of not less than three 
hundred acres of land. 
The Trustees, having accepted the trust confided to them 
by the Legislature, organized the State Agricultural College 
by the following appointments: 
John Delafield, President of the College. 
Hon. John A. King, Chairman of the Board of Trustees. 
Joel W. Bacon. Secretary. 
N. li. Kidder, Treasurer. 
At a meeting of the Board, on the 4th of June, a Report was 
presented by B. P. Johnson, from a Special Committee on the 
Location ot the College, declaring “ that, after an exami¬ 
nation of the Oaklands Farm, in Seneca County, they are 
entirely satisfied that the price asked for it is its fair value 1 
in the market for farming purposes; that it is, by previous 
preparation, by position, and variety of soil, in every respect 
adapted to the objects of the Institution; that the title is 
perfect; and recommend that the chain of title be entered at 
large on the minutes of the Board,” Ac. This farm is situated 
nudway between the market towns of Waterloo and Geneva, 
in full view of Seneca Lake, and overlooking the village 
of Geneva. Elevated about one hundred and five feet 
above the lake, it is free from causes disturbing health. Its 
srnl varies from a strong clay to a sandy loam, presenting va¬ 
rieties sufficient for testing by experiment every doubtful 
question in relation to soils, and to exhibit the most approved 
system of cultivation. 
The Trustees are prepared to receive, from farmers and 
friends of agriculture, proposals for the Capital Stock of the 
Institution, which will be distributed in shares of fifty dollars 
each, payable 10 per cent, on subscribing, 40 per cent, on 1st 
of July, 50 per cent, on 1st October.^ 
The Trustees may be addressed (post-paid) at their respective 
residences, as follows: 
Hon. John A. King, Jamaica, Queens County: Henry Wager, 
Westernville, Oneida County; B. P. Johnson, Agricultural 
Rooms, Albany; Wm. Kelly, Rhinebeck, Dutchess County; N. 
B. Kidder, Geneva, Ontario County; Joel W. Bacon. Water¬ 
loo, Seneca County; Tallmadge Delafield, Geneva, Ontario 
County; Wm. Buel, Rochester, Monroe County; John Dela¬ 
field, Oaklands, Seneca County. 
The officers of the College will endeavor to present subscrip¬ 
tion books in each County, that the College, so entirely agri¬ 
cultural and peculiarly the farmer’s institution, may find its 
support widely diffused throughout the State. 
The President will, upon application to him, give all need¬ 
ful information in relation to the ordinances, rules, and regu¬ 
lations of the College, and the course of instruction to be pur¬ 
sued. 
By order of the Board of Trustees,
