THE CLLTIVATOR, 
corn! to Richard Morgan, of Aurora, Cayuga co. ? and the 
third to Dr. Chapin, of Providence, R. I. 
FOREIGN. 
We have English papers to the 2d of August. The 
grain harvest will be late, owing to the want of suffi¬ 
ciently warm weather. Should the weather have proved 
favorable through the last month, a full average supply 
of wheat will be gathered in most parts of the kingdom. 
Barley is good, excepting its having been injured in 
some sections by lodging. Very large growths are ex¬ 
pected of oats, beans, and peas. Hay is abundant. 
The Exhibition of the Royal Agricultural Society at 
Shrewsbury took place from the 12th to the 18th of July. 
The show of stock was considex*ed upon the whole high¬ 
ly satisfactory, and fully answering the purposes intend¬ 
ed by the society. 
At the auction sale which took place after the show, 
several Short Horn bulls sold at from 40 to 59 guineas 
each; and Hereford bulls at40 to 50 guineas, and one for 
99 guineas. South Down bucks sold for £11 to £15 
each. Pigs, £7 each. 
The exhibition of implements is said to have been far 
short of what has been seen at previous meetings of the 
society. 
The society continues to increase in numbers and 
wealth. Its present list of members is nearly 9,000, and 
its funded property above £9,000.

SHORT HORN DURHAMS FOR SALE. 
9 HE AD of this valuable breed of animals are now offered for 
sale by the subscriber, having more than he can well keep on 
his farm, viz: Rose, 9 years old, a good milker, having given 25 
quarts per day, on pasture only. She is in calf by my prize 
bull Meteor, and will drop her calf about the middle of August 
Empress, nearly as good a milker as Rose. She dropped her 
calf about a month ago, and will be bulled by Meteor. Eunice, 
5 years old, white, bulled by my imported bull Duke of Wellington, 
25th of June, a good milker ; her dam has given 32 quarts of milk a 
day on pasture only. Julia, four-year-old heifer, recently bulled by 
Meteor. Lily, two-year-old-heifer, white, bulled by Meteor, 9th 
of June, and three yearling heifers, roan, red, and white, got by 
Wellington and Meteor. A yearling bull, got by Meteor, out of a 
cow bred by Charles Ii Hall, Esq., of Harlem. The Cows above 
named w^re bred by the Bullocks, of Albany county, and their 
descendants. This stock has the reputation of being good milk 
ers. Gentlemen desirous of procuring the blood of the celebra 
ted herd of Thomas Bates, Esq., of Yorkshire, can do so, wilh 
a cross of the Bullock stock, as the sires of the young animals 
are from that gentleman’s herd, and the cows are in calf by the 
same bulls. This strain of blood can hardly fail to make good 
milkers Let"ers, post paid, will receive an answer. The animals 
will be sold from $100 to $125 a head A credit from 6 to 12 
months will be given for approved paper. GEO. VAIL.

construction, while their extra speed causes very rapid grinding.

The Lodi Manufacturing Co., defy competition in the art of mak¬ 
ing a cheap, powerful, and lasting manure, and strenuously invite a 
fair trial between an equal cost of thelv poudrette, and an equal cost 
of the best guano in existence. 
It is hoped that the successful trial of poudrette upon wheat, on 
Long Island, the last season, will encourage many others in other 
parts of the country, to make a trial of its effects this season Quail- 
tity per acre for wheat is 10 barrels, or 40 bushels, sown broadcast 
with the seed, and harrowed in.
