THE CULTIVATOR 
there was a falling off of eight pounds of butter the 
first week, though another cow had been added to the 
number. There is an essential difference in the pro¬ 
ducts in all cases, as the cows are well or badly milked, 
and the subject demands the careful attention of every 
dairyman. 
jjpgT* We are pleased to learn that the Trustees of 
the State Agricultural College at Ovid, at their session 
last week adopted plans and entered into contracts for 
their buildings, work upon which is to be immediately 
begun. 
Fine Fruit.—W e are indebted to Prof. Jas. Hall 
for a basket of very beautiful Red-Cheek Melocoton 
Peaches, from his garden in this city, for which he 
has our hearty thanks, and also for a basket of Cher¬ 
ries, containing fine samples of Elton, Ronald’s White- 
Heart, Napoleon Bigarreau, Knight’s Early Black, 
Wendell’s Bigarreau, and several other varieties, re¬ 
ceived during the cherry season, and which we inad¬ 
vertently failed to acknowledge at the time. 
A Good Idea—Seedling Grape. —At a meeting 
of the “Columbia Cultivator’s Club” at Hudson, on 
the 9th inst., the members resolved themselves into a 
vigilance committee, for the protection of the gardens 
of every member of the Club from thieves. They also 
ordered a reward of $25 to be paid for the detection 
and conviction of any person or persons guilty of steal¬ 
ing fruit or vegetables from the premises of any-mem- 
her, and directed handbills announcing these facts to be 
properly posted about the town. This measure cannot 
fail to have a restraining effect upon the thieving pro¬ 
pensities of the vagabond men and boys who so fre¬ 
quently go unpunished for their trespasses upon the 
gardens and orchards of their neighbors. 
At the same meeting of the Club Mr. Alvah Calk¬ 
ins presented two specimens of seedling grapes—one 
the Early Hudson, a round, black grape, with a blue 
bloom, thin skin, tender pulp, very sweet and juicy, 
bunch and berry about the size of the Isabella, per¬ 
fectly hardy, and ripens about the 1st of Sept. The 
vine was raised by Mr. Calkins, from the seed of the 
Isabella, planted in his garden in Hudson about ten 
years ago, and has fruited with him for four years 
past. The other was presented only as indicating the 
native origin of the Isabella. It was a small, loose 
cluster, and in size, color, and quality, almost identi¬ 
cal with our native Frost Grape. It originated from 
the seed of the Isabella, and was the production of a 
three years old vine. A fine specimen of the renown¬ 
ed Charier Oak grape, from the garden of Mr. L. N. 
Gridley, was also exhibited. 
R NUTTING’S FANNING AND 
© ASSORTING MACHINE.—The increasing ne¬ 
cessity for such a machine as the above, has long been 
apparent to even the most casual observer—and for this 
reason, it meets with the practical approval of every in¬ 
telligent farmer wherever it is introduced ; in fact no real 
farmer can afford to be without it, if he values his reputa¬ 
tion as such, and desires to sow only clean and perfect 
seed. Any person or manufacturer who desires to make 
a change in, or addition to, his business, or engage in some¬ 
thing substantial and profitable, cannot do better than in 
the manufacture of this machine. A more particular de¬ 
scription of it will be found in the “ Co. Gent.” of Sept. 
9th, 1858.
