they will arrive out in ample season for the grand Imperial Fair, to take place at St. Petersburgh in September next.

What the Farmers and Gardeners of Long Island produce for market and procure from New-York, is well illustrated in the following figures, for which we are indebted to an attentive correspondent in Brooklyn, J. I. SHIPMAN, Esq. These statements include very little from the immediate vicinity of that city however, the greater part of the articles enumerated having been shipped from stations over twenty miles out from Brooklyn. Market gardeners within that distance generally bring in their produce in wagons, and carry out manure on their return. The table below gives the shipments of the articles named during the years 1858 and 1859, by Railroad into Brooklyn and New-York:

weighing of the fleeces, &c. They made a report highly commendatory of Gen. G.'s flock of Spanish Merinos, as well as of his Black Hawk and other horses and ShortHorned cattle, which is too long for publication in our columns. It appears that 30 Spanish Merino ewes were sheared which had been washed, and 44 which had not been washed. The average weight of fleece for the former lot was 6 lbs. 2 oz., and for the latter not quite 84 lbs. Three bucks were also sheared of the same breed, giving fleeces respectively of 13 lbs. 5 oz., 12 lbs. 6 0, and 13 lbs. 3 oz.-and these, as well as all the others, are said to have been fleeces of only one year's growth or under.

GENESEE VALLEY HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.-At the late exhibition of this Society, the collection of roses was perhaps unsurpassed by anything of the kind in this country. Corinthian Hall presented a brilliant display. Ellwanger & Barry and A. Frost & Co., each had on the table between 400 and 500 varieties, among which there were nearly three hundred sorts of hybrid perpetuals in each collection. The former had about fifty kinds of Moss roses. But it was not so much the large number, as the richness and rareness of many of the specimens that rendered them remarkable. The combination of colors as shown in the profusion of brilliant flowers, bursting buds, and green leaves, in a large portion of those from Ellwanger & Barry excited much admiration.

The Strawberries embraced many fine collections. The best six, selected from about fifty sorts from Ellwanger & Barry, were Wilson's, Victoria, Triomphe de Gand, Genesee, Brighton Pine and Scott's Seedling. A dish of Triomphe de Gand, from H. E. Hooker & Co., took the first prize for a single variety. This variety is rapidly growing into favor for its great size, fine quality, hardiness and

AN AGRICULTURE THAT IS NOT EXHAUSTIVE.-Our friend of the Homestead in commenting upon the fears express-productiveness. ed by Liebig, Mechi and other "good people," that the world at large and England particularly are destined to ultimate barrenness, remarks very justly-and to American farmers very suggestively-that "it is better to know how to get 90 bushels of corn to the acre, and exhaust the land by so doing if you do not manure sufficiently, than not to know how to get over 20, or not to dare to for fear of robbing your grandchildren.". But what goes before this remark will help to explain its meaning:

"As a general rule those farms are undergoing the exhausting skinning process fastest, where the crops are and have been smallest. Go on with your draining and deep plowing, and 'exhausting tillage,' just so long as you get increasing fertility to reward your labors, but at the same time add those substances which you remove, or stand ready to do so the moment, or rather just before the supply in the soil is too much exhausted. If you fail in your calculations, and a year or two the crops drag hard upon the supply, the world will not come to an end; there is manurial material enough left in the soil and at large in the world, and a little time and proper additions will make all right. This is not a desirable condition of things, certainly; but it is much better to be able to take all out of a soil that you choose, than to be able only to take a certain limited portion."

Austin, also of "a noted steeple chasing Cotswold sheep from Mr. Read of Cirencester, as follows: for a gentleman of that city, and eight superior one ram and two ewes for D. B. Hinman, Esq., of Westchester, Pa., one ram and two ewes for Richards Bradley, Esq., of Brattleboro', Vt., and two ewes for Albert Fearing, Esq., of Hingham, Mass.

E. CORNELL, Esq., of Ithaca, has lately returned from Kentucky, with a number of Short-Horns selected during his visit in that State-including three heifers of Mr. ALEXANDER'S breeding, five bred by Mr. John Curd of Lexington, and one bred by the Messrs. WARFIELDS. They will prove a valuable addition to the Improved Stock of that part of the State.

In other words, if we in the older States can make manure enough to get really good crops off from our land, now, we can make and procure enough to maintain these crops, in all probability. What is true of all pursuits in the world-the rarest cases of apparent chance alone exWe acknowledge a fine lot of mammoth Black cepted-is we believe equally true in Farming:-if we do Raspberries, raised by Mr. H. H. Doolittle of Oaks Corour very best in the present, the future will to a great de-ners, Ontario Co., through Messrs. Wollenman & Lochner gree take care of itself. "Alas," sadly says our contem- of this city. Alas, we know of not one solitary farm whereon porary, as much manure is made as possible!" This is the great point, to which all experience abroad and at home bears ample witness that our attention must be mainly directed, in order to secure a system of Agriculture that is not exhaustive.

J R. GARDNER.

As the time approaches of our usual Autumn Exhibitions, it is proper to remind the reader, in a word or two, of the good Ends they are intended to subserve, and to urge a more general Support of their Agricultural Societies upon our Farmers at large.

It is

THE APPLE INSECT.-Mr. WEIR of Lacon, Ill., has afvored me with specimens of the apple insect spoken of by him in the COUNTRY GENTLEMAN of May 31st. the largest species of the weevil kind which we have in our country, and is the New-York weevil, (Ithycerus Novœboracensis,) thus named by Forster in the year 1771, other names having since been given it by other writers who were unaware it had already been described. It however is a very rare insect in our State at the present day.

The truth is, that it is not the individual efforts of any board of Officers, nor the local contributions of any single District, that can render a Society or its Shows in the highest degree successful. The whole Region embraced MACHINERY IN FARMING.-The most laborious part of under its constitution, whether it be Town or County or farming operations is now rendered, through the improveState, must be actively interested, and no single village or ments in machinery, a pleasant pastime; instead of scourtowns or counties should be left with the whole responsi-ing the neighborhood, as formerly, for able-bodied laborbility of its support.

New-Jersey.

We do not propose to undertake the task at present, however having merely thrown out these hints, in order to add, that, with this general Support extended to our Societies, they will become with each recurring year a more efficient Agency in promoting the material interests of those who labor thus earnestly in carrying them on-not only in a general point of view increasing the weight and power of the name of FARMER, but also, through channels more direct, raising the standard of his Practice, promoting the improvement of bis Stock, the adornment of his Grounds with Fruits and Flowers, and the attractiveness of his Home for those who are growing up either to cling to, or abandon his pursuit, according to the kind of Example he sets them in following it.

With the Prosperity which now seems in a greater degree than usual, to be promised to the Farmers of the Country, we trust they will be prepared to join with more zeal in the management of the coming Exhibitions of their Societies. So far as we learn of the present condition of Societies in this State, their Autumn Shows bid fair to meet with at least the customary degree of success-Let old jealousies, if there are any, be laid aside, and new exertions put forth, to render them worthy of the Agriculture of New-York and the Energy of her population.

We have received from Messrs. Blymyers, Bates & Day, of Mansfield, Ohio, a sample of Sorghum Sugar, made by Mr. O. N. Brainerd of Marion, Iowa, from Green Cane, upon "Cook's Improved Portable Sugar Evaporator." This valuable invention is now manufactured by the above Firm, whose Advertisement will be found in another column. The sugar sustains the opinion of its quality therein expressed.

MORE SEEDS.-The Washington correspondent of a New-York paper writes that the "Commissioner of Patents, Gov. Thomas, desiring to infuse new life into the Agricultural department of his office, has sent out Col. Clemson to Europe to purchase good seeds suited to our climate and wants. That gentleman has large practical experience and ability as an agriculturist. Wheats, Italian barleys, &c., are to be special objects of acquirement. New and valuable seeds and plants are also to be obtained at any cost consistent with the appropriation of $60,000." The New-Jersey State Fair takes place this year at Elizabeth, Sept. 4-7. The Premium List is issued and may be had, we presume, by application to W. M. Force, Secretary, Trenton. President, N. N. Halsted of Harrison; Treasurer, C. M. Saxton of Orange.

We note a current rumor that the time of the United States Agricultural Exhibition at Cincinnati, is to be from Sept. 12 to the 20th. Moreover that "no cattle will be received, on account of pleuro-pneumonia, but large premiums will be offered for horses, machinery, steam fire engines, etc."

The Tennessee State Fair, this year, takes place at Nashville, opening Sept. 10th. The Programme offered is a liberal one, and a special invitation is extended to competitors from other States, as will be seen from the Advertisement published in another column, to which we call the attention of Manufacturers and all interested in exhibitions of the kind.

A Society has been organized at Milwaukee, called the "Wisconsin Agricultural and Mechanical Association," based upon the same plan as that which has been so successful at St. Louis. Seventeen citizens have already subscribed $7,000, and the Fairs are to be held at the Cold Springs, two miles west of the city-President, Dr. E. B. Wolcott; Secretary, J. A. Lapham. Hon. W. D. MeIndoe is mentioned as one of the prime movers in the undertaking.

TALL CABBAGE.-A Sonora (California) paper gives the following account of an immense cabbage plant now growing in the garden of Mr. Bennett, formerly of this city, but now a resident at that place:-"It has already attained the enormous height of eight feet. The stalk is about the size of a man's wrist, and stretches up four feet before it exhibits any leaves or branches. It is more than one year old, and Mr. B. thinks as it is of the evergreen family, that it could be profitably cultivated for shade and ornamental purposes. The most interesting fact connected with this remarkable vegetable is, that an appreciating sparrow has built her nest among its branches, which already contains three little eggs. Her tedious process of incubation will soon be rewarded by a callow brood, to enliven her home amongst the swaying branches of the old cabbage tree."

J. H. KLIPPART, Secretary of the Ohio State Board of Agriculture has sent us copies of the Premium List and regulations for the State Show which is set down for Sept. 25-28, at Dayton. Competition at the Ohio Fairs is open to other States-if anybody has what is better than the Buckeyes can produce, they wish to convince themselves of the fact. Hence outsiders are always welcome as exhibitors, and may carry away whatever prizes they can win. Indiana and Kentucky, particularly, this year should "make a note" of these facts.

FRANKLIN COUNTY is to hold its next Fair at Malone, on the 11th to 14th of September. The address will be delivered by Horace Greeley on the 13th, at 1 o'clock, P. M. The premium List has been greatly increased, the show grounds enlarged and beautified, a half-mile track prepared, and vigorous efforts are being made to make the exhibition all that it is desirable a County Fair should be. A. Lindsay, Esq., is the President, and Smith Palmer, Secretary.

The First Annual Exhibition of the Breckenridge County (Kansas,) Agricultural and Mechanical Society is announced for the present season at Emporia-President, R. H. Abraham; Secretary, P. B. Maxon. Like many of the most successful Societies in older regions, the Premiuns offered will be chiefly made up of Agricultural Papers.

A Horticultural Society in apparently prosperous condition, exists at St. Paul, Minnesota, and we have, received, too late for earlier notice, their schedule of prizes awarded at an exhibition announced for the 4th instant. Alex. Buchanan, President; S. Hewson and M. Ford, Secretaries. We trust the Show went off finely.

The Tenth Annual Fair of the Gallia County, Ohio, Agricultural Society, is to be held at Gallipolis, Sept. 11th and 12th. President, Augustus S. Guthrie; Secretary, J. L. Vance; Treasurer, J. C. Neal. Much obliged for the compliments to our journals in the Premium List. The Show of the Jackson Co. (Mo.) Ag. Society, is put down for Sept. 4-9, at Independence City. B. F. Thompson, President; Schuyler Lowe, Secretary.

A HINT TO ORCHARDISTS. Throughout a large portion of the country, as all are aware, a part of the limbs of apple orchards are found dead, more especially towards the extremities, and generally believed to be the effect of some of the past severe winters. Many trees are recovering, becoming more vigorous, and bearing, but the dead limbs remain. These dead branches now need pruning out; and we are not sure that an advantage may not result to the trees from this disaster, by teaching many orchardists to prune better than they ever have done. The general and erroneous propensity is to trim upwards,-to thin out and cut off all

As the tendency of growth is to lengthen the arms, so the tendency of pruning should be to shorten these arms again, so as to keep the head in a reasonably compact and handsome form. Cutting out the dead ends of the limbs will in many instances exactly accomplish this purpose. Now, at midsummer, is the best time to do it.

[For the Country Gentleman and Cultivator.] ON CURRANT WINE MAKING, &c. who have written me on this subject, I have to state that I In answer to A. R. of Troy, C. B. H. of Buffalo, and others do not know any who have plantations of currants on a large scale, although there is no doubt there are many in different parts of the country who cultivate them extensively. I neither know of any especial work published on the manufacture of wine from currants. The best receipt I know, and which I have used in making it, will be found in the COUNTRY ent-viz., one part of the juice of the currant, three pounds GENTLEMAN for June 28 of this year, by another correspondof best refined sugar, and as much water as to make one gallon; put the whole in a cask, and roll it to dissolve the sugar. Put it under cover to ferment, either in a vat or in the cask that is to hold it; when the fermentation is over bung it, and stow it in a cool cellar, when it is ready for use or shipment. The receipt given in no. of 28th June, is practically the same. The only market I know for the disposal of the wine, is at the South and the West Indies, as also in the neighborhoods where it is made, most families using it there. Consignments can be made either to Mobile, New-Orleans, San Augustine, Pensacola, &c., and the West Indies generally. About forty or fifty years ago there existed a currant yard near Providence, R. I., producing from 800 to 1,200 gallons of currant wine per acre, which was then chiefly exported to and sold in the West Indies. F. A. NAUTS. New-York, July 12, 1860.

FERGUSON ALBANY

The Cotton Gin is one of the most important among modern inventions and any improvements in it, or its operations, are, as they should be, eagerly sought for by the cotton producer. The enormous amount of cotton, and its great value, which is annually made in this country, causes even the smallest improvement in its manipulation to command a ready adoption; and the numerous inventions and patents granted therefor since the introduction of Whitney's Saw Cotton Gin. go far to attest the great necessity and inducements for improvements. It is believed by the makers, who are familiar with previous efforts and patents, that their own improvements are among the most valuable since Whitney's time, and that they are chiefly in a different direction from nearly all other inventors, and which have been overlooked by them. One of the best points in their improvement is that it is applicable to all saw gins now in use, as well as those being manufactured by the proprietors, while it is both simply and cheaply ap plied. The improvement consists chiefly of a central cylinder shaft of wood or other light material, so suspended within the hopper, upon its journals at both ends, as to occupy the hollow space within the cotton roll in the hopper, which is produced by the centrifugal force of the revolving mass.

This shaft is thickly studded throughout its surface with radially projecting pointed pins, which become imbedded in the cotton, causing the shaft to revolve in unison with the roll by the force and motion which the cotton receives from the action of the saws upon it. Its purposes and objects are to produce a uniform motion of the roll throughout its whole length and circumference, and to support the seed cotton and prevent that portion which is presented to the action of the saws from being compressed by the weight of the cotton roll upon the saws; also to avoid the consequent cutting and napping of the lint which would be caused thereby. Its use produces a constant motion of the roll positively relative to that of the saws, and preserves its cylindrical form, irrespective of the different and varying velocities of the saws, or the centrifugal force of the revolving mass in the hopper

This shaft, with its pins prevents all choking, clogging, bridging and breaking of the cotton roll from careless feeding or matted condition of the seed cotton, as the positive and forcible motion produced be the action of the saws upon that portion of the seed cotton roll lying between the saws and the shaft and communicated through it and its pins to the whole roll, is sufficient to overcome all such irregularities, as also to admit of the gin being worked up to the maximum power applied, be it more or less, without danger of stopping the operation of the gin or injuring the quality of the lint. It also enables the gin to be worked with almost any power, and at any velocity, with uniform results; consequently increasing the capacity for work in like proportion.

The proprietors have also completed their attachment for the gin, which enables the whole to be operated upon the field, if desired, and without any lint room or gin house being required, and also for cleansing the lint from all dust and sand, delivering it at one and the same operation in fit condition for haling and the market. The attention of cotton growers and dealers in like kinds of machinery is called to them. The prices of the gins and condensers are as follows: The 45 Saw Gin with improvement,.
