TIE STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

We wish TO impress il upon the minds of farmers
throughout all the southern portion Of this State par
tcularly on Long Island, and in Westchester and
Putnam Counties, and in all the Southern Tier, that
the next Fair OF this Society will open in New-York
CITY on the 81 Of October and continue four days at
Hamilton-square which is situated on the Thiri-ay.
above sixty-fth ST., and is altogether a most desir
able locality But it il still more desirable that il
should be filled up on those days with thousands OF
classo farmers including their wives sonsand daugh
ters who have never had opportunity Of attending
one Of our State Fairs. The people Of these conn
ties have always had Just grounds OF complaint, that
owing to the location of the Fairs they cut oil
from all the Advantages pleasure of attending them
We know there are neighborhcods where the best
agricultural implements, such moving and reaping
machines horse rakes, or even the best hand tools
have never been sccnwhcrc farmers OF fair inteili-
g,ncc would no, know subsol plow when they 81"
itwhcre good straw and stalk cutter or corn shell
lor would be curiosity-where farmers honestly
tbink there is no better breed OF cattle than their
own and that nobody produces better grain or ether
products than those grown for century upon the old
homestead. We want all these people ID come and
see better stock tools and products than they ever
saw before or thought it possible for others t.
produce.
These Fairs are practical schools for firwers. II
is impossible for any discerning man 10 visit one OF
them without learning more than he would al home
in years and being benefited ten times more than the
cost of attendance There is no place in the State
where so many farmers can attend the Fair and 60
home the same night rs n this City; and in addition
TO those Of our own State Ne may expect Thousands
from Connecticut and New Jersey beside the usual
large numbers from States remote.
OF the exhibition, we have no fears. The snow OF
stock last fall on the same ground, at the Fair of The
American Institute, was worth long journey to see
and rs the two Societies combined in the Fair oihe
present year, may expect one of the finest cattle
shows ever seen in the country. As for farm lmple-
mtnts, we have haifa.dozeu large establishments II
this City which can make grand display without
any from abroad but We shall have them from al
sections, because this Fair will be visited by mere
strangers than any State Fair held and they are
the persons to whom II is of the utmost importance
for manufacturers to exhibit their wares. We hope
too, that shall have very complete exhibition Of
Farm Products-that every farmer will feel 1t duty
10 bling in something to show the products of his
sectien and that everything viii be- distinctly labeled
with its and the place where It grew. Do
not ina CINE, because you know the name o. every
grain or vegetable, that everybody ese does
OF Stock do hope that may not only have
the pempered Durhams and Devons but some o. the
stock of the country, such ss formers are not
ashamed to keep al home and ought not To oeashamed
10 exhibit 10 their brOther-iarmers in public.
We have no doubt that we shall have one Of the
best Fairs ever held in the State, snd We want
all the farmers within reach to visit it end pTeiit b.
whit they NAY gee and hear.
