At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the United States Agricultural Society, held in the City of Washington, in February last, it was resolved that the Society would hold no Exhibition in any State having a State Agricultural Society, without the assent of the officers, or of tho Executive Committee of such society. The citizens of Springfield, Ohio, having requested this Society to hold an Exhibition of Cattle at that place, and generously subscribed about tea thousand dollars to defray all the expenses of the same, and to guarantee the Society against loss; and the Executive Committee of the Ohio Agricultural Society uniting in the request the Executive Committee of this Society have concluded to hold a National Show of Cattle, open to general competition, without sectional limit, on the 25th, 26th and 27th days of October next, at Springfield, in the State of Ohio. The friends of Agriculture in all the States of the American Union, and in the neighboring provinces of Canada, are invited to co-operate with us, so that this Exhibition may be the more extensively useful, and be alike creditable to the gei.erous citizens of Springfield, with whom it orifinated—to the contributors and visitors who suslain it, and to the United States Agricultural Society who are so deeply interested in its success. In conseqtieneo of the holding of this Show of Cattle, the contemplated exhibition of horses at Springfield, Mass., and the Show of Sheep in Vermont will be omitted. The Journal of the Society, which the Executive Committee have concluded to issue once in each year—four numbers in one—will appear in January next, and will contain the Transactions of the Society at its last annual meeting, the lectures and addresses delivered at that time, a full and faithful account of the Springfield Show, with other valuable papers by eminent members. This volume will be forwarded to all members who have pa'd their annual assessments for the Tear 1854. MARSHALL P. WILDER, President. Wm. S. Kino, Secrelary. Boston, August 1, 1854. '. i r-'--. .' For tho Indiana Farmer. Recollections. Recollect this season, so far, has been very favorable to mildew or fungus, that so often destroys our grapes and gooseberries. Also remember that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Each and every Spring, very early, give your gooseberry bushes a severe heading out to aduiit a free circulation of air through the bush in all directions—covering the ground with charcoal immediately under the bush. Spread your grape vines in all directions on your trellis or arbor—do not permit them to lay in piles. Some practice pulling off all the leaves near the fruit, and then cuittng off the vines to force tho sap into the bunches of grapes to produce large fruit and prevent mildew; and after all their trouble they complain that their grapes are worthless. They might just as well pull the lungs out of a calf, and then tell it to bawl. And yet there are some people who exclaim against what they term book-farming.— Vines treated in that way will never flourish, as they are deprived ofthe proper means of storing the parent vines with suitable food for the next season; consequently, a premature decay of the vines must follow. Flour of sulphur dusted over the fruit in due time, and in sufficient quantities, will nearly always prevent mildew when the above precautions are first used. M, Ill ^. HI For the Indiana Farmer. Time to Prepare for Sprint?. Do not let the fall pass without having something dono to facilitate the spring work. Farmers should recollect that the fall and the latter part of the summer season is an excellent time for destroying weeds, briars and other fence corner shrubbery—rectifying old and resetting new- strings of fence, setting gate posts, and hanging gates and many other things that the time would fail us to mention. All the necessary work that might he done in the fall, that is too often left as being spring work, only tends to hinder the farmer from his crop that must be tended to in time, or ho is going back. K. .,.«««. . . _ For tho Indiana Fanner. Inventor's Convention. Messrs. Editors: Please suggest to the Inventors of Indiana the propriety of holding a Convention at Indianapolis sometimo this fall, say the 15th of 11th month (November) next. Let every one have a model of his invention present, and let us take a peep at the ingenuity of Hoosierdom, and get acquainted with each other, WThat say the inventors of Indiana to such a movement? Let us hear from you through the Press. DANIEL HILL, Inventor and patentee of the combined Harrow, Roller and Grain and Grass Seed Planter, near Harrisville, Indiana,
