THE FIRST DAY.
BUFFALO, Tuesday. c

BUFFALO, Tuesday. Oct. 6, 1857.
Everything opens auspiciously. The weather yes
terday was delightfully."- tempting to induce exhibitors
to turn out and fill up the grounds with things appro-
pirate for this great annual exhibition of the farm pro-
ducts Of this State and it was well improved. The
total number of entries last evening over sixteen
hundred and il comprises almost every branch usually
exhibited; and to. day, the weather being still very
fine many other articles will be added to the list and
those already in arranged for the inspection of the
gre at crowd of visitors that will be present Tomorrow
As there is not crowd to day, the facility of exam
nation is much better than 1t VIII be aiter@ard, ana
am free to say the chow Is quite credhabie 10 all
branches. The show Of vegetable product is not
as large should be, though in quality It could not
be better. hope good many farmers VIII nave les
sons of value in seeing what may be Done incIes'-
ing the size of bee.s, Carrots onions psrSnps cab
bage, potatoes, squashes, etc, some OF which are
enormous.
The show Of butter and cheese Il altogether too
small. Farm implements pretty well represented,
among which are few new ones to be spoken OF
hereafter. The most important, 10 my opinion. OF all
in this class Is the portable steam engine one OF which
made here at $500, representing two horse power,
and only costing the price Of one good horse-wli do
more work In year than any four hofses are able u
perform. A steam engine is a farm necessity.
Of horned cattle, the Hereiords are in great force
