that Mr. Carpenter has taken premiums on the last two years at the Ohio State fairs, have improved very much this year in the size of the bunches-the Mottled has begun to turn berry two weeks earlier than the Catawba; the bunches are more compact than the Catawba, and may prove in quality fully equal to Catawba.

There has been over 100 acres set to grapes on the Island this year. There are 2,800 acres of land, and 234 of it is now set to grape-vines-average yield per acre for the last fifteen years, 600 gallons of wine.

PRODUCTIVE STRAWBERRY BED.I have a "strawberry patch," a part of it set one year last spring, and the rest two years. It is seven feet by one hundred and fifty-three feet. I picked and sold from it the present season, 457 quarts of starwberries (or 14 bushels and 9 quarts.) Wilson's Albany is the kind, and though they require a little more sugar than some other kinds, they give you enough more fruit to pay for it. Fifty berries (selected of course) would fill a quart measure. A. S. Moss. Fredonia, August, 1860.

The two seedlings, Lydia and Mottled, der caps out in the hardest showers we have had, without being wet in the least, except around the outside at the foot of the bundles. When the caps were taken off, the heads were as bright as though no rain had fallen. One cap will cover twelve bundles snugly-but enough. J. L. R. That good will often arise out of evil, is a saying none the less true because it savors so strongly of antiquity. A New-Jersey friend and subscriber of the COUNTRY GENTLEMAN affords us an illustration quite in point. One of his neighbors, while at work with the Mowing Machine, leaves the seat to disentangle a tuft of grass from among the knives; the dinner-horn inopportunely sounds, and the horses start suddenly forward, catching and cutting off the fingers of the unfortunate man. The incident is naturally mentioned at our friend's dinner-table, and his wife at once suggests that all farther danger from this source may easily be obviated, and after some study of the machinery involved, actually designs and patents what seems to us a mode as effectual as it is simple, of rendering the occurrence of similar accidents hereafter next to impossible.

CHARLES of this city, the imported Short-Horn cow, "Flattery," for $250; Mr. TROWBRIDGE of New-Jersey, the cow "Bloom," for $75, and Mr. J. V. MOORE a pair of Devon Working Cattle for $170. Subsequently the Ethan Allen brood mare, "Rose Allen," and the colt of the mare 66 Caroline," by American, were sold to Mr. Bathgate at private sale, the two for $500, and there may have been one or two other private sales.

The New-Jersey State Fair at Elizabeth, last week, appears to have been well attended, and in many respects an excellent show. The fear of exposing Cattle to some complaint which caused the death of several animals near Newark, early in the season, induced the managers to forego this part of the exhibition. The number of Entries is this year stated as follows, exclusive of the entries for special horse premiums:

Class 1. Cattle-no entries.

Class 2. Horses-26 entries.

Class 3. Sheep. Swine and Poultry-37 entries.

Class 4. Farm products and Horticulture-289 entries.
Class 5. Home products-126 entries.
Class 6. Mechanical, etc.. 325 entries.

This presents an aggregate of 1,133, while last year,
cattle and all, the total number was scarcely 1,000.

EARLY MAY WHEAT.-The Early May wheat received last fall from the south has done remarkably well with us. It did not appear to suffer more from the changeable weather the latter part of last winter and early spring than the other varieties of wheat in this locality. It was not hurt with the fly in the least, (though the Mediterranean suffered much in places,) nor did the wheat midge destroy a single head. The straw was clean and bright, and grew about five feet high. The season of its ripening was about eight days before the Mediterranean. The grain is full and plump. Should it continue to succeed as well as last year, it would no doubt be a great acquisition to the wheat growing district, as it will ripen before the season of the wheat midge, often so destructive to other and later varieties of wheat. WILSON DENNIS. Bucks Co., Pa.

GRAPES ON KELLY'S ISLAND.-Grapes are a full crop here this year so far. There will be some 63 acres in bearing this year. About two-thirds Catawbas-the balance

Thus the majority of the stock, the chief Short-Horns, all the fine Devons offered by Capt. HILTON, and a large part of the Horses, remain to be disposed of, and the day now appointed is the 10th of October, at 11 A. M., when we hope to see a larger gathering under more favorable auspices. The Catalogues, meanwhile, are well worth the examination of all who are interested in the subject, and for the convenience of applicants we subjoin the names of the members of the Association:-William M. Bullock, Bethlehem; Joseph Hilton, New-Scotland; William H. Slingerland, Norman's Kill; William Hurst, Albany; Geo. W. Adams, Whitehall.

LARGE APPLES.-Mr. H. WETHERWAX of Sandlake, informs us that he recently picked by hand 2,250 apples (Pound Sweets) in about four hours. These apples, which included all on the trees, large and small, with the exception of half a dozen defective ones, filled nine barrels, thus averaging 250 to the barrel. One of his neighbors, Mr. J. SIPPERLY, made a selection from the largest of these apples, and found, on counting, that 170 filled a barrel.

PEACH TRADE AT ROCHESTER.-The Rochester Union estimates the amount of peaches shipped from Rochester at sixty tons per day. It says: "On Saturday the New

York Central Railroad Company sent eastward as freight 2126 bushels of peaches, making seven car loads shipped here, and there were ten cars put into the train, which were loaded at points along the Niagara Falls Road, and brought into the city. Five of the seven cars shipped from this city carried peaches for a single shipper."

THE VERMONT STATE FAIR opened well at Burlington last week Tuesday, with a pleasant day and numerous entries. We intended if possible, to have been present. Mechan ics' and Floral Halls were well filled, and the track was open for some good trotting. Wednesday, as we learn from the Free Press, there was an extraordinarily good display of umbrellas, the storm experienced here having extended in that direction; Thursday, however, was bright and clear, and prospects were reported as "improving." Of Horses the entries numbered, on Wednesday, 246, di. vided as follows: Sherman Morgan Stallions 26, Mares 14; Woodbury Morgan Stallions, 28, Mares and Fillies 7; Bulrush Morgan Stallions 2, Mares 5; Hamiltonians and other blood 35; Matched Horses 32 pair; Geldings and Mares 78.

Messrs. ELLWANGER & BARRY of the Mt. Hope Nurseries at Rochester, who have exhibited extensive collections of Fruit at all the principal Agricultural Shows this year, contribute a basket of fine pears for our private examination, to which we may assure them that full justice has been done in that way which we suppose to constitute the "chief end" of all Pomological specimens, however beautiful to the eye or interesting as curiosities.

THE UNITED STATES FAIR.-An anticipated letter with regard to this Exhibition having failed to reach us, we can only gather from the newspapers, that the attendance has been tolerable, and the Show itself in some respects a fair The Tribune correspondent, Mr. Olcott, speaks of the fruits and flowers as finally coming out pretty well; among the cattle, there seem to have been few breeders present of much celebrity, in most of the classes, but the Herefords are spoken of as excelling all the rest. R. A. Alexander exhibited South-Down Sheep.

We have been shown a new Silver Medal, struck off by Robert Lovett of New-York, for the Union Agricultural Society of Ridgeway and Shelby. It is enclosed in a neat case, also prepared by Mr. L., of an appropriate and tasteful design. The Society is entitled to much credit for providing this very appropriate testimonial for its exhibitors, and it can scarcely fail to increase their numbers.

ADDISON CO., Vr.-The Fair of this County was held at Middlebury on the 5th-7th September and proved a complete success. The Address was delivered by Governor Chase of Ohio, after which there was a poem by Saxe, and a speech by Hon. E. P. Walton. Among the interesting features of the exhibition was a walking match by horses. Five were entered, and the prize was awarded to "Sam. Houston "-time for half a mile, 54 minutes.

ALBANY COUNTY FAIR.

There was quite a large show at the Fair of this Society last week, although by no means a general one, the number of exhibitors being small in proportion to the quantity of articles and animals exhibited. The display of stock, however, could scarcely fail to be attractive, which included such Short-Horns as Bullock, Slingerland and Hurst's; such Herefords as Corning's; such Devons as Hilton's, Whitbeck's and Conger's; Working Oxen and Steers like those of Van Wie, Booth, Loucks and Schoonmaker; such Long Wooled Sheep as Van Wie's and Soop's; South Downs like Corning's, Booth's, Bender's and Louck's, and Swine like Hurst's, Richardson's and others. There was a good lot of Poultry out, among exhibitors of which we recognize again the names of Van Wie, Booth and Hurst, together with those of of Harcourt, Wendell, White and

others.

The display of Fruit was unusually good; among contributors were E. Corning, Jr., A. W. Twitchell, John G. White, Wm. Gray, John Wilson, Philip Myers, W. H. DeWitt, John Dingwall, John I. Slingerland, Peter Van Wie, and so on, representing tolerably well both city and country growers. Flowers were mostly shown by Wilson and Dingwall. There was quite an exhibition of Vegetacombined to render the display in this department an inbles, and several of our Albany Implement manufacturers structive and valuable one.

The Society were indebted to manufacturers and mer, chants in the city for a fair turn-out in the miscellaneous departments, and to the ladies for a good show of Household manufactures, needlework, bread, preserves, &c.

Gov. Seward's Arabian Horses, which reached Boston on the 11th inst., were exhibited toward the conclusion of the Fair, but we failed to see them. The Boston Cultivator remarks on this subject:

Instead of there having been two mares and a stallion shipped, it appears to have been just the reverse. Only one mare was shipped, and she died on the passage. The two stallions arrived in good condition, considering the necessary hardships of the voyage. One is a bay (the age not known to the writer,) the other a sorrel, four years old. The former appears to be a very strong and energetic animal, about fourteen and a half hands high, compact body, with a pretty good, though not what we are accustomed to call an Arab head, clean throat, short, but rather light neck, pretty well placed on the shoulders, deep and capacious chest, short and very strong back, wide loin, tolerably full stifle, and strong, well-placed limbs. The other did not strike us as particularly remarkable in points, though from his green age and the circumstances under which we saw him, we would not pronounce a positive opinion.

The weather was very unfavorable except toward the conclusion of the Show, and the Managers state in general terms that the receipts were "unsatisfactory." Notwithstanding the rain and mud, however, we were surprised to see so many in attendance on both days when we visi

On one of the evenings a "levee" was held, at which a succession of pertinent and happy speeches were made by Ex. Gov. Dyer of Rhode Island, Ex. Gov. Fletcher of Vermont, the Rev. Mr. Balch, and by Messrs. B. F. Winslow of Pittsford, and Charles E. Graves of Rutland.

SCHENECTADY AGRICULTURAL WORKS.

The proprietors of these works are now prepared to fill orders for their well known

Patent Horse-Powers, Threshing Machines, &c., and invite the attention of the public to them.

Important improvements have been made since the last season, which it is hoped will add to the already unequalled reputation of their machines, To their former list of machinery they have added Males' Patent Convertible Cider Mill and Corn Sheller, shown in the cuts. It is simple, efficient, and durable, possessing the

advantage over cider mills in common use, of being an excellent corn sheller, and its price no more than cider mills are usuallly sold for.

Important improvements in their Clover Huller and Cleaner have made it one of the very best in use. The following letter will give some idea of its capacity, when well managed in good clover.

cleaned over 200 bushels, and it worked very nicely, doing the work
