The Agricultural Society of this County, numbers 7 Life 
Members and 63 Annual Members, and is rapidly growing in 
favor with the people of all classes and occupations. Of the 
Annual Fair for 1859, which we attended, for the purpose of de¬ 
livering the Address, we are able to speak from personal obser¬ 
vation. It was held at Wautoma, on the 12th and 13th of Oct. 
and proved a success, notwithstanding the unfavorableness of 
the weather. The show of Fruits, Field Products, and Garden 
Vegetables, w T as particularly gratifying, the apples, plums and 
even grapes and peaches, surpassing anything that we have 
witnessed at the County Fairs of this State. 
The show of Stock was also fair; and the good ladies did 
themselves honor, as they almost always do on such occasions.

bred Cattle, and Farm Implements.
