MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
nate as to imitate the hog of the animal king¬ 
dom; but with the great advantage of its ten¬ 
fold usefulness as an edible to sustain both man 
and beast, biped and quadruped? 
Indian corn never runs too much to stalks, 
as the fanners say wheat does to straw, when 
the land is new and full of carbonic acid; yet 
to produce a maximum cereal yield of corn, 
ammonia in the soil is as indispensable to the 
corn crop as to the wheat crop. You are un¬ 
doubtedly right in ascribing the large corn 
crop in the drained swamp referred to as much 
to the presence of ammonia as to carbonic 
acid, both of which would have failed to have 
made a large crop, in this season of continued 
drouth, but for the mechanical aid of the soil, 
which retained water in that equable supply 
for ihe wants of the plant, that there was no 
lack even after the wells in the neighborhood 
had become dry. 
If, as Schobler says,humus imbibes 190 per 
cent of water, while sand only imbibes 25 per 
cent, the mystery of the great corn crop this 
dry season in the great, partially drained Wa¬ 
terloo swamp, is no longer a mystery. Hence 
it must be admitted that Liebig's theory of 
the power of carbonic acid to increase vege¬ 
table growth, is only correct, if we take into 
the account its mechanical as well as its chem¬ 
ical aid and effect to both soil and plant. 
Waterloo, N. Y., October, 1854. S. W. 
TOWN FAIRS.—LE IU)Y AND PAVILION. 
The most appreciable and decidedly enjoy¬ 
able Fairs we have attended this season, have 
been those of Town Agricultural Societies, and 
such as comprised only two or three Towns.— 
The Phelps Fair, heretofore briefly noli ed in 
the Rural, was highly creditable in many re¬ 
spects—while the show of the Union Ag. So¬ 
ciety (comprising the towns of Phelps, Man¬ 
chester and Hopewell,) was well attended, and 
not altogether uninteresting. The show of 
horses was very fine. The address, by Rev. 
Mr. Cormac, was able.and appropriate. We 
have favorable reports concerning the exhibi¬ 
tions recently held by other Town Societies, and 
can speak of two or three from personal obser¬ 
vation. For instance, we had the pleasure of 
attending— 
The Lk Roy Town Fair, held on Wednes¬ 
day of last week,—and the show of the Pavil¬ 
ion and Covington Society, the day following. 
These exhibitions were better than many an¬ 
ticipated under the circumstances—a Menage¬ 
rie and other side shows competing with the 
Show at Le Roy, and the weather being unfa¬ 
vorable on the day of the Pavilion Fair. 
Our Le Roy friends made an excellent show of 
Cattle, particularly Durhams and their guides 
The President of the Society, C. K. Ward 
Ksq., exhibited some superior animals, both 
full bloods and grades. Mr. Murphy, 1). 
Ward, Jr., H. Holmes, and others whose 
names we could not ascertain, also had fine 
blood and grade animals on exhibition. The 
display of working oxen, steers, &e., was deci¬ 
dedly superior for a Town show. 
There were but few horses shown, though 
we noticed some tine teams, and several good 
colts. J). Ward, Jr., exhibited a very fine 
draught stallion—said to be a cross of the 
Sampson and Morgan breeds. 
The show of Sheep was not large. N. R. 
Ken ee, however, had several pens of superior 
coarse wooled sheep—principally Leicesters 
and their grades, we believe. Of Swine there 
was a fair show—including very good speci¬ 
mens of the Suffolks and Lincolnshires. The 
Fowls were not forgotten, as the display of 
several coops, embracing different varieties, at¬ 
tested. 
The display of implements was limited. C. 
R. Rrinckkrhoff & Co., of Batavia, exhibited 
their patent self-holding, furrow-gauge Plow— 
a new and superior Corn Cultivator, with re¬ 
versible mould boards—and Davis's Corn 
Planter. The Plow has the appearance of be¬ 
ing a capital implement, and the fact that some 
five hundred have been used the past season, 
and none returned, augurs that it performs sat¬ 
isfactorily. Seymour's Crain Drill was shown 
by the agent, Mr. Cjli.et, and attracted de¬ 
served attention. 
Of Fruit the exhibition wus very fair—es¬ 
pecially of apples, pears, and grapes. By the 
way, we noticed that in portions of Le Roy and 
Pavilion through which we passed, the yield of 
apples appeared more prolific than in the sec¬ 
tions of M onroe, Ontario and other counties 
we have recently visited. 
The display in the Ladies’ Department was 
not extensive, but highly creditable, particular¬ 
ly in embroidery, wax and needle work, &o.,— 
combining, as the “fairer portion” always do, 
the useful and the ornamental. 
On the whole, though not, we are assured, 
equal to former ones, the Fair was most inter¬ 
esting, and well attended. The attend¬ 
ance in the evening was large, and it is a 
source of regret to the writer that a more ca¬ 
pable person was not selected to address such 
an assemblage. Our Le Roy friends have, 
however, learned that it is not the forte of at 
least one Kditor to “ speak in public on the 
stage,” albeit he is determined to “ try again,” 
though before a less discriminating audience! 
The spicy and interesting discussion which en¬ 
sued, and the resolution adopted by the Socie¬ 
ty relative fo holding regular meetings (o dis* 
cuss practical subjects, made some amends for 
t' e inauspicious opening of the evenings pro¬ 
ceedings. 
— We cannot close our notice of the Fair, 
without expressing the pleasure experienced in 
revisiting the beautiful village of Le Roy, and 
the fine farming region by which it is surround* 
ed, and more than all meeting hundreds of in¬ 
telligent and enterprising friends of Improve¬ 
ment. The kindness and hospitality of Ijc 
Royans will long be gratefully remembered. 
Tiif. Pavilion and Covington Fair (held 
at the former place,) excelled in showing fine 
cattle, notwithstanding the unfavorable weath¬ 
er. I n other departments we observed nothing 
particularly noteworthy, except the persons in 
attendance. Indeed the enterprising and pro¬ 
gressive men and women who attend are, to us, 
among the most interesting features of such 
exhibitions—for improvement in //0010-culture 
and •tf,gr/-culture arc inseparable. In other 
words, the culture and improvement of the 
Soil, and the Mental and Physical Man, are 
alike necessary to the highest prosperity and 
civilization. 
But to the show of stock. II. 1'. Brooks, 
President of the Wyoming County Agricul¬ 
tural Society, exhibited a number of very fine 
Durhams, including several superior cows bred 
in Kentucky. Also a few fine Devons—steers 
and heifers. J. W. Duouid, President of the 
Socieiy, made a creditable show of Durhams 
and their grades. Messrs. 1). J. Sprague, J. 
S. Walker, Siiumway, Wm. Ward, Carlisle, 
and others, severally exhibited tine animals— 
full bloods, grades and natives. The display 
of working oxen and steers was very good; 
those of Ward and Walker were much ad¬ 
mired. 
The show of Sheep included some superior 
specimens of both coarse and fine wooled 
breeds. Col. JIannum’s Leicesters, and a lot 
of South-Downs, were very good representa¬ 
tive animals. J. S. Walker’s Atwood Meri¬ 
nos were superior in fleece and carcass. The 
Spanish Merinos shown by Messrs. Cameron 
and Gilmore, were also noteworthy. 
STEUBEN COUNTY FAIR. 
Eds. Rural:— The Second Annual Fair of 
the Steuben Co. Agricultural Union, was held 
at Bath, Oct. 11 and 12, and well attended.— 
Owing to the unprecedented drouth of last 
summer, the exhibition was not so great an 
improvement upon that of last year as was 
then anticipated, but was nevertheless credita¬ 
ble. The Society have leased grounds for a 
term of years, ami by means of generous do¬ 
nations from the citizens of Bath, have put 
thereon permanent fence and fixtures. The 
receipts from memberships and admission fees, 
amount to little short of $>1,000, which, with 
the fund from the State, will enable the Socie¬ 
ty to make decided improvements upon the 
grounds, and leave a handsome fund for anoth¬ 
er year. 
Mr. Allen, of Buffalo, gave a sensible ad¬ 
dress at the Court House on the evening of 
the 11th, to a crowded auditory, und was fol¬ 
lowed by A. B. Dickinson, in practical re¬ 
marks upon agriculture. The exercises of the 
evening, as indeed of the entire show, were en¬ 
livened by a band of music from your city—a 
gratuitous offering of the public-spirited citi¬ 
zens of Bath to the Socieiy. The perform¬ 
ances of the band elicited flattering economi- 
ums from many lovers of music. 
Besides the usual cash premiums, the last 
Patent Cilice Report was freely dealt out by 
the Awarding Committees, one hundred cop¬ 
ies thereof having been promised to the Soci¬ 
ety by lion. George Hastings, the present 
Representative from this Congressional Dis¬ 
trict. 
The weather was unpropitious the afternoon 
of the second day, and the show was injurious¬ 
ly affected by the season, else all would have 
beed satisfied with this second effort of our 
youthful organization. it. 
IIand-rearing Calves. —At a recent meet¬ 
ing of the New York Farmers’ Club, A. A. 
Moss, of South Norwalk, Conn., exhibited a 
simple plan for rearing calves. A gut la percha 
teat is affixed to a tin can, filled with skim 
milk, hay tea, or other food, which, being hung 
up in the calf pen, is taken as naturally as 
though it was the teat of the cow. With the 
use of this little machine—costing perhaps a 
couple of dollars—the 2,000 calves weekly 
sacrified in this city before they acquire age 
enough to make food fit for human stomachs, 
can be saved, without loss of milk to those en¬ 
gaged in dairy business, and thus save a vast 
number of animals for beeves, now wholly lost 
to the world. 
When farm stock is kept in well littered 
stalls, and every other judicious means taken 
to manufacture manure, one head will produce 
sufficient to keep an ucre of ground in the 
highest state of lerliiity. 
DISEASES IN THE EYE OF HORSES# 
We take the following extracts from Dr. 
Dadd’s Modern Horse Doctor. Though 
written more especially in reference to prevent¬ 
ing diseases of the eye, t hey are equally appli¬ 
cable to all other ills that horse-flesh is heir to, 
for it is quite obvious that a horse or any oth¬ 
er animal in a perfectly healthy condition is 
more likely to escape disease of any kind than 
one in a depressed state: 
As prevention is much cheaper than cure, it 
must be obvious that, it is of great importance 
to practice that system of management, witli 
respect to feeding, exercise, cleanliness, and 
ventilation, which is most likely to prevent 
ophthalmia. When horses are put to regular 
daily work, their health will be best maintain¬ 
ed by feeding them regularly three times a day 
with mixed diet, composed of bruised oats, 
shorts, meal, cracked corn, and cut hay. — 
These should be allowed in sufficient, quantity 
and no more; for too much food must impair 
the digestive organs and derange the general 
health. 
As regards exercise, it is indispensable. No 
man or horse can ever enjoy good health un¬ 
less habituated to daily exercise; it tends to¬ 
wards their health and strength, a sisis and 
promotes a free circulation of the blood, deter¬ 
mines morbific matter to the various outlets, 
develops the muscular powers, creates a natu¬ 
ral appetite, improves the wind, and finally in¬ 
vigorates the whole system. The exhaustion 
produced by want of iet. isequ illy dunnerou ; 
such horses, at, certain sea ons of the je ir, are 
always among the first victims, and when at¬ 
tacked their recovery is generally protracted. 
As regards cleanliness, the brush and curry¬ 
comb should boused morning and evening; the 
latter, however, must be dispensed with when 
the horse is laboring under any form of cuta 
neons disease, at least while in its acute stage. 
Good rubbing promotes the circulation of 
blood through the capillary vessels, acts as a 
counter irritant, and relieves congestions.— 
Many of the di.-ea.-os to which horses arc sub¬ 
ject, more particularly those of the alimentary 
canal, have their origin in a filthy skin. We 
are decidedly opposed to the use of the curry¬ 
comb with a view of divesting the horse’s legs 
of mud and filth, for the parts below the knee 
and hock are destitute of fleshy fibre; from 
which circumstance the periosteum, envel¬ 
oping the bone, is more exposed to violence 
from the teet h and edges of the curry-comb.— 
If a horse comes from his work covered with 
mud, the better plan would be to detach it, 
when dry, with a wisp of straw, after which a 
good stiff brush will put on the polish. 
The admission of light into stables, being a 
subject next in importance to the former, de¬ 
serves a passing notice. Nothing is so detri¬ 
mental to the eyes as sudden traits’tions from 
comparative darkness to a glaring light; and 
probably many of our readers have, at some 
time, experienced the very unpleasant, senssit’on 
of mingled pain und gid iness, which is not 
readily dismissed, after emerging from a dark 
room, and suddenly coming in contact with the 
glaring rays of the sun; and if they have they 
know how to sympathize with a poor horse 
NATIONAL CATTLE SHOW. 
The U. 8. Agricultural Society will hold 
a National Show of Gattle, open to general 
competition, without sectional limit, on the 25th 
26th, and 27th day of this month, at Springfield, 
Ohio. Six thousand dollars will be awarded 
in Premiums, several of which are huger than 
have ever been offered by any Agricultural 
Society, either in this or other countries. 
Kxtensive preparations have been made for 
the accommodation of strangers. lCxtra trains 
will convey passengers to the neighboring cities 
and towns, who cannot obtain lodgings at 
Springfield. Private houses will be open for 
the reception of guests. 
'Cite principal railroads will take stock free 
of charge, and passengers at, half price. On 
stock the freight must be paid on the passage 
out, and on the certificate of the Secretary of 
the Show, that the animals have been exhibit¬ 
ed and have not been sold or exchanged, the 
money paid for transportation will be refunded, 
and they returned free to the point from which 
they started. 
Visitors should he careful to obtain excur¬ 
sion tickets on the several railroads, and at 
Springfield to have them stamped by the Sec¬ 
retary of the Show, in order to make them 
available on their return at half price. 
Oil Thursday, October 26th, at 2 o’clock, P. 
M., a grand Agricultural Banquet, will be held 
on the grounds. It is anticipated that, this will 
be one of the most interesting and imposing 
parts of the exhibition, and in which ladies, as 
well as gentlemen, will participate. The ex¬ 
hibition of cattle will probably be the largest 
ever held in America, if not in the world, and 
the concourse of people immense. 
New Food for Sheep. —While I was at 
Geneva, 1 observed every one collecting care¬ 
fully the fruit of the horse-chestnut, and on in¬ 
quiry 1 learned that the butchers and holders 
of grazing-stock bought it readily at a certain 
price per bushel. I inquired of my butcher, 
and he told me it was given to those sheep in 
particular that were fattening. The horse- 
chestnuts were well crushed; something in the 
way, so 1 understood, that apples are, previous 
to cider being made. They are crushed or cut 
up in a machine kept solely in Switzerland for 
that purpose; then about two pounds’ weight 
is given to each sheep morning and evening.— 
It must be portioned out to the sheep, as too 
much would disugree with them, being of a 
very heating nature. The butcher told me 
that it gave an excellent rich flavor to Ihe 
meat. The Geneva mutton is noted for being 
as highly flavored as any in England or Wales. 
— Jig. Gazette. 
Talk of starving! The assessors’ rolls in 
Indiana show that there are as the presents n- 
son 588,377 more hogs in that State than there 
were during the same season last year.
