From Our Special Cotrespondnt. SaRAYOGA, Thyraday, Bept. 13, 1866, Tho weather is stillall one could wish, and the attend- ance is so large that it is almost impossible to‘approach any interesting object. The mailroads, running spocial trains, bring in thousands, and it was estimated by good judges that as wany a6 fifteen thousand wero in the town and on the grounds during & largo, part of tho day. Of course the hotels aro filled, the country houses bave a plenty to do, and privato families bave taken in friends and others, On every corner there are shows, salosmen, beggars and strange characters. There is & constant whirl and ery; sometimes teams interlock and the streets block up; still there is no disturbance, and I have not seen one dranken mon. Ta the morning there was a grand display of carriage- Thorses around the ting—a few worp fist-rate team horses— and it was judged ome of the best exhibitions of Lorses ovor made at any fair in the State. % The agricultural -niaclunery was in full force,"and in- cluded eery kind which has been 8o usoful in mulhglylng day's works, showing exceilont workmanship and finish.

Straw usually is woridi as much as hay, and it is really indispensable if one would success- fully grow strawberties, A now corn husker was on the ground, but it met with an accident early in thie day and I did not seo it.at work, but I was told by a }flp who saw it that it is all it claims to be. It is & fizture and bLardly can be taken into the ficld; the stalks are laid on agplatform, in which is a cavity into which the ears drop when the; husked, and the stalks are carried off over the machine. ‘Fhe inventorsays that the faster it goea the better,it will 'or‘kl. lgm:n l:utr:e, n‘l‘ . m\:i lln‘vtlvmion i8 beforeour e, thou an o arge corn-growers m{ it carnot well be taken ln“':\ho laldr,‘feot the woight must be at least half a ton.

T have very littlo doubt but that during the next ten years a cheap motive power will be discovered which will'add more to productive industry than all that reapers, mowers, threshers and the like now have done, The show of fruit was ereditable.

There were beautiful collections of flowers from various parties. Theghow of gladiolas, in particular, wes gor- geous; in fact, every variety was well represented, and made o most attractive sight. ‘The dairy and farm productions were creditable, and cowplaint from many sections of dry or unfavorsl ther, some farmers show they have not suffered. Itistroe there might have been larg nantities of vegetables and the like, but within late yi &mm bave paid less attention to bringing these articles to State fairs, and yeserve them for county fairs. The exhibition of pictures was extensive, but badly lo- cated and lighted, and in & barn-like structure. In prox- imity to_these were articles of domestic manufacture, sneh as flannels, bed-quilts, and evidences of household industry, showing that farmers’ wives are not wholly idle, and they serve to encourage young married péople to pro- duce imitations. ere were o great many objects aftracting attention which would bo agreeable to specify more Jflxurululy; but as the evening metings are to be reported, giving the result of the experience in various directions of the best farms i the State, and as the great mass of erticles are not new, and for yoars have been shown at county and State fairs, the space allotted does not permit going iuto greater details. ' EVENING SESSION. An address was delivered by Judge Miller of Rockfora, 111, which for proper,energetic language,and cpigrammatic sentences seldom 1¢%excelled. The subject for discussion was THE RESTORING OF WORN-OUT PARMS. Mr. Harris said he m‘\ging o restore an.old farm. Land that once was good seldom is wholly worn out. Con- tinnal cropping has only*cxbsusted the natural manure de- posited for many ages. When the 1oots of the trees de- cay the ground’ becomes hard, and underdraining is re- %nlnd. One of the first things is to get rid of the weeds, ‘0 do this he had worked corn 11 times, then sowed bar- ley and got 40 bushels to the acre. r. Curtis of Saratoga said there was a great loss of grass seed sown this Spring, and much must be plowed u g::u)nd sowed: Trmothy this Fall, that the rain might t it in. Mer. Crocker of Broome gave the experience of a good faricer who this Fall was'sowing Timothy with his wheat (z rate of uarts to the acre. In this way much is req . His plan to keep a farm good was to have as many cattlo as the place would carry, and keep them well; he wonld have a little wheat and corn, but his, main crop weuld be buttgr. He takes only three croj without seeding—first, corn; second, oats; "third, buc wheatand gr éd, wil mantre and hamrow- ini. Firet crops without manure. tr. Thowss, Herkimer,—One good way is to inclose :}np with a portable fence, to cover as much ground as ey will restore, then sow turnips.
