MOOUE’S RURAL NEW-YO RKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY JOURNAL, 
MS 
ROCHESTER, SEPTEMBER II, 1851. 
Another Illustrated Number! 
We are making arrangements to issue another 
splendid PICTORIA L NUMBER of the Rural, 
_to be published during the holding of the State 
Fair, or the subsequent week.. Our design is to 
present portraits and figures of some of the most 
prominent improved animals, implements, ma¬ 
chinery, &c., on exhibition at the I air, together 
with a brief history or description. Several ar¬ 
tists are now engaged in preparing illustrations, 
and we hope to furnish a handsome and accepta¬ 
ble sheet,—one which will not only prove valua¬ 
ble to all our readers, but again demonstrate our 
ability and disposition to make the Rural Nf.w- 
Yorkkr the most beautiful and useful paper of 
its class in America. 
The first edition of our Pictorial will prob¬ 
ably be issued on Tuesday P. M., and circulated 
on the grounds during the Fair. We shall print 
several thousand extra copies, and be prepared to 
promptly fill all o"ders from periodical agents and 
others, at our usual rates. A limited space will 
be devoted to short and appropriate advertisements, 
but all notices must be furnished early, and paid 
lor in advance. 
THE STATE FAIR. - LAST CALL. 
Those who contemplate attending the State 
Fair are informed that the arrangements of the 
Society are perfected and complete. The Grounds 
are in good order, and the buildings, &c., superior 
to those prepared for any previous exhibition.— 
Ample accommodations have beeu provided for 
stock, and we think there will be no lack of room 
or forage, and hence no just cause of complaint. 
The President and his aids seem determined to 
spare no effort to render every thing convenient 
and pleasant for exhibitors, members and visitors. 
Unless we ate mistaken, the exhibition will be 
the largest and most interesting ever held in the 
State or Nation—and certainly will be if the Far¬ 
mers, Mechanics and Manufacturers of Western 
and Central New' York fulfil the expectations of 
community. The Farmers of Western New York, 
especially, must turn out and present the rich and 
varied products of their skill and industry. It be¬ 
hooves them, now, to sustain and increase thei r 
well earned reputation—and they can, if they will, 
do much more. The farmers of other States will 
he here, with their stock, grain, dairy products, 
&c., and the cultivators of this favored region— 
not inaptly called the Eden of America—should 
not be outdone. 
Another thing. Rochester, we have not a doubt, 
can and will furnish ample accommodations, at 
reasonable rates, to all who attend the Fair. Our 
citizens are very generally preparing to keep open 
house for the reception alike of friends and 
strangers. 
State Fair—Rural New-Yorker Office. 
During the week of the State Fair our latch 
string will be out, and we hope to meet and make 
the personal acquaintance of hundreds of agents, 
correspondents and subscribers—and to greet many 
friends whose countenances are already familiar. 
Our office is on the corner of Buffalo and State 
streets—in Burns’ stone block—and directly oppo¬ 
site the Eagle Hotel, the head quarters of the State 
Society. 
Those of our friends who are entitled to Premi¬ 
ums for obtaining subscribers, can embrace the 
opportunity to call or send for the same. We 
shall probably have an office, also, on the Fair 
Grounds. 
Persons who are disposed to act as agents for 
the Rural in their various localities, are request- 
to call and obtain specimen numbers, &c., which 
will be cheerfully furnished, free of expense to 
applicants. 
Burrall’s Grain Reaper.— Being at Geneva 
a few hours, on Saturday last, we had an oppor¬ 
tunity of seeing this machine in operation, and 
were surprised and gratified at its rapid and easy 
performance. We expected, from what we had 
previously heard, to see a good machine, but did 
not anticipate witnessing one so complete and per¬ 
fect in its practical operation. It was not a highly 
finished and painted concern, but did the. business 
most effectually—and that, we take it, is just what 
farmers want at harvest time. Neither was it rigged 
for visitors, and certainly not for us, for our call at 
the field was unexpected—and we found it cutting 
oats as fast as the team could walk, and saw it 
operate while the horses were trotting. It runs 
easily, cuts every straw', is subject to little jar and 
no i se —and is altogether creditable to the inventive 
genius of Mr. Burrall, who is a genuine West¬ 
ern New-Yorker. 
This machine, we should add, has been improv¬ 
ed since the commencement of w r heat harvest.— 
We shall endeavor to give a description of the 
Reaper hereafter. Meantime we advise those who 
have an opportunity, to give it an examination and 
judge for themselves. It will be at the State Fair, 
next week. 
The Weather has been exceedingly hot for 
some days past, and many of our city folks are 
complaining. They should remember the old 
proverb, “ Its an ill wind,” &c., and patiently en¬ 
dure what is benefiting a large portion of com¬ 
munity. Every hour of hot sunshine now, is bet¬ 
ter than much California gold to the farmer—for 
it ripens the corn, matures the potato and keeps 
off the rot, and is also favorable for fruit. 
One Week More. 
But little time now remains for preparation for 
the annual jubilee—and we desire to impress upon 
our friends the importance of having articles de¬ 
signed for exhibition, on the ground eail\, and 
what is more important, to have them entered on 
the books at the Secretary’s office, the first day of 
the Fair, or before. Those first entered are soon¬ 
est placed upon the appropriate committee book, 
and will be more certain of a careful examination. 
Heretofore articles of acknowledged worth have 
failed of receiving the merited notice, or award, 
simply because they came in late and were 
crowded into the committee book after a great part 
of the examinations had been made. From this 
cause, more than any other, have arisen all the 
fault finding and hard words bestowed upon the 
Committees and the Society—for not having given 
satisfaction to exhibitors. 
In this, as in all important or unimpoitant mat¬ 
ters —be in season, for upon this one thing much 
of success depends. To facilitate early entries^ 
persons who choose can send a list of articles they 
design to exhibit, accompanied with one dollar to 
pav the fee for membership, to H. C. White, at 
this office, who will attend to having them prop- 
erlv entered on the books previous to the opening 
of the Fair. 
New Grain Cleaner. —During the past week 
we saw a new grain cleaner in operation, and were 
so pleased thereat, that a determination was at 
once formed to aid in making known its existence. 
It is the invention of Wheeler, Melick & Co., 
of Albany, and adapted to their Railroad Horse- 
Power and Overshot Thresher. We saw the three 
combined, in operation, and must acknowledge 
that the work performed exceeded, in ease and 
perfectibility, our highest expectations. Other dis¬ 
interested spectators were delighted with what they 
saw,— a perfect thresher and cleaner driven with 
ease and rapidity by one span of horses—and were 
not modest in expressing favorable opinions. This 
machine .will be exhibited in operation at the State 
Fair, when those interested can see it and decide 
in regard to its merits, and whether our opinion is 
well founded. We shall probably be able to give 
a figure and description of it in our State Fair 
Pictorial. 
The Cuban Expedition. —By the latest intelli¬ 
gence from Havana, we learn that this expedition 
has turned out most disastrously for those engaged 
in it. The commandant Gen. Lopez, has been 
captured and immediately executed. He and his 
men were surrounded by 5,000 Spanish troops, but 
it was eighteen days before they were captuied, 
and then they were hunted down by bloodhounds, 
and betrayed. A Inrge number of Americans are 
reported to he among the prisoners, and of whom 
some dundreds are to be transported to Spain.— 
The accounts are still very contradictory. 
Return of Col. Johnson. — 1 he Albany Jour¬ 
nal of Monday evening says:—B. P. Johnson, 
Secretary of the State Agricultural Society, is 
among the passengers by the Franklin, which 
reached New York this morning. Mr. J. has been 
absent since since April last, and as the Agent from 
this State to the Great Exhibition, has been of im¬ 
portant service to the American exhibitors. His 
return has been hastened so as to be present at the 
State Fair, where his services will be greatly 
needed.

ThE month of August, like that of last year, has 
been cool. The temperature of the first half last 
year, 71.76 degrees; this year, 69.68* deg. Sec¬ 
ond half last year, 67.28; do. this year 66,10 deg. 
Mpnthly mean last year, 69.45; do this year, 67.83. 
Nineteen fair days; twelve cloudy; thirteen days 
on which rain fell. Frost in Massachusetts about 
the middle of the month: so there was last year. 
A little here on the morning of the 28th and 29th. 
The last half of August one year ago was called 
very cool—not so cool however as the last half of 
the month just closed. An unusual quantity of 
hay was made at the East during August. It is 
had policy to cure hay so late. It is inferior, and 
usually sells at a reduced price. 
A Good Colt. —Bring him on .—The Orleans 
American says: — Our friend and townsman, 
Avery M. Starkwether, Esq., of Eagle Har¬ 
bor, has a colt which is only fifteen months of age, 
yet weighs 850 lbs., and exhibits the easy and 
graceful motion of an old and well trained horse. 
He designs to present him at the State Fair. 
_It is stated that at the present time upwards 
of $30,000,000 are invested in the various railways 
of the United States.
