THE CULTIVATOR 
In Merino sheep there were sales to a considerable 
extent. Col. Sherwood sold about seventy rams. Mr. 
Patterson, of Chautauque county, Mr. Jewett, and 
Mr. Campbell of Vermont, and others, made sales. 
We are not apprised of many sales in horses; we 
understand that Mr. Blodgett’s Morgan mare, which 
took the first premium in the class out of the state, was 
purchased by Mr. Geo. A. Mason, of Jordan. He is 
one of the owners of the Morgan horse General Gif¬ 
ford, and with this fine mare, and others, will soon 
show first rate stock. Mr. Blodgett’s other mare, 
we are informed, was sold to a gentleman in Auburn. 
In implements, the sales were large. H. L. Emery, 
of Albany, sold on the ground, and made contracts to 
the amount of $3,000. Large sales of plows and other 
implements were made by Ruggles, Nourse & Ma¬ 
son, Worcester, Mass., Starbuck & Son, Troy,E. J„ 
Burrell, of Geneva, and Rafalje & Briggs, of 
Rochester. 
Considerable contracts were also made for butter 
and cheese, seed grain, stoves, fabrics, upholstery, 
cabinet ware, &c.
