I 'n BotBldoy, the 2nd day of Augnst, onotoof
meeting 'aa held, of which tho following is
the pnbUobOd report :
Puranont to notice previously given, tbe
Van Huron Co. Agricultural Society met at tbe
Conn House, in .the village of I'aw I'nw, on
Saturday, the 2nd day of August, at ono
I'dOOk r. 3i. Present, Hon. Jay It. Monroe,
President, several of tho Vice Presidents the
Secretary, a majority of the members of the
Kxeeutivo Committee, and uaito a respectable
Qttntbof of citizens.
Although tho meeting was not largo, yet it
- . .ghly gr.it if yitg to seo some of our iuo.it
10 -tanMal farmers in the OOOtf present, who
seemed to take a decided interest in the meet
ing. Alter the object of tho meotir g was stated
. ; 'i i lenMn n few brief and pertinent
mar. .s, the lion. F. C. Annablo was callod
upon, wno arose ana saiu :
J hat he favored this movement, and that the
farmers of bis town wero getling arou?ed, and
V '.in to feel considerable interest in Agricul
:..!. lie then dwelt on tho importance of a
knowledge of Agricultural Chemistry, said if
we could obtain an analysis of tbo soil of this
vmft the results might be highly beneficial,
lie said that we ought to have a fair this fall
to exhibit the state of Agricnltnro in this coun
ty, and another in five years, to see if wo had
made any improvements.
The Hon. P. Haydou was then called upon,
who arose and said :
That although he bad farmed it very exten
sively, in this country, yet be bad to confoss
that he was very ignorant of scientific farm
ing. He said that he had never attended a
fair m his life, he thought that the society
might be tho means of doing a great deal of
good ; he said that tbe raising of wheat was a
bard business nuder tbe present system of
farminif-the amount raised not paying the
.m .t.hali nf IhA Hl.te Will SOOW,
being only an average yield of eight bushels or
thereabout to tbe acre. He thought that we
might do better in sheep husbandry, and might
(..mpetr h'.ieeessfully with eastern farmers.
i ne cheapness aud facilities for the transporta
tion or wool, compared with other productions,
bejnjg ercatb "i h favor. He also thought
that it we m! it ml I turn our attention to the im
provement and raising of cattle and horses, we
w ould lind it protitable.
1 ho lion. M. !.. Fitch, hem called upon,
and complimented as being " one of our boot
farmers." wan -olicited to give his views and
, iri( nee He aecoi dingh arose and f-aid :
That he did not come for the purpose d mak
ing a speech. Ho had read tho notice ot tho
secretary in the " Freo Frees, " that " several
int. testing speakers were expected to address
tbe meeting," and therotoro ho came to hear
others. lie dis'laimcd Iwing ono of the
best tanner. ' and considered himself far in
tho background of improvement. ID thought
the farmer's profession had been spoken of,
rather disparagingly. Ho then compared tho
larnicrV .-banco of mi. toss, in ae-'umulating
wealth as being more favorable than othor
classes: also tho probabilities of failure ami
bankruptcy as l it.g much less Hum tbe mcr
eantilc class so often onvied. He alluded to
the many comforts, and couveuiouoes, of the
fanner, which was never taken into account:
ami thought that tho farmer ueedid onlv to he
eulighieue 1 to HOOkl his culling the most desir
able of any.
An opportunity wa s tlun offered, and nearly
all of tho citizens present came forward, and
SUl ribed their names and paid the amount,
(one dollar entitling them to hecomo members
tor one year, several others have declarod their
Intention ot Joining the society.
I ne following amendments to rt, 4th of the
Constitution were adopted :
" The Treasurer of the society, shall on re
( Oipt of any money belonging to the society,
whether for feor-, of membership, or otherwise,
tret noilpt t beret Off to the person payiug
the same, which r ooipt bhall bo count, rsigmd
bi the secretory and the ecroiojr shall
charge the amount ot such receipts to the Baid
Treasurer and the Soeretary shall crodit the
Treasurer with all monies paid out by him for
tho soeietv ou presentation of tho proper
vouchers."
Tho following resolution was adopted i
" Kesolved. that the Secretary issue to the
proprietors of the " I'aw I'aw Free l'ress" and
"I'aw I'aw Journal" life certificates of mem
bOfOhip to this society, properly authenticated, 1
provided they will one or both oT them do tho
printing in their papers for this society gratis."
: ; was also resolved to hold a fair this (nextA
fa'l. The meeting then adjourned.
i bo Executive Committee then met, and af
ter consultation adj urnod to meet again on
Saturday. August 9th, at I o'clock p. m., to
Bake arrangOttMntl for the Annual meeting
and 1'utr.

Tbe first Aunual Fair of UM society was hold
in the Court House Square. The stalls for
hoop and -wine Mere constructed along the
west side of tho fence enclosing tho public
giounds, while the cattle and horses weie tied
to trees standing on tho nnoccnpiod lots be
tween the fence aud Kalamazoo street, which
at that time, were all vacant and used in com
mou by the dealers of tbe village, as a place
whereon to deposit tho soundest and most to
bo relied ou currency received for goods sold 1
namely. "Fine Shaved Shingles," the only cur- j
rency whose value did not fluctuate and change
from week to week.
Tho Court room was used as a " Floral Hall,"
and to it came a good exhibition of domestic
manufactures. Tbe collection attracted much
attention for its variety and the excellence of
the workmanship. The display had but few
specimens of fancy work, but was mado up, for
tho most part, of articles of usefulness and
prime necessity such as home, manufactured
cloths and flannels, clothing manufactured m
the household, counterpane-. qnJttl of patch
work, yarn mittens, sock-, gloves and under
wear. In the vegetable department, a good show
ing was made.
There wore but few horses and cattle, aud
they were regaided good for tho tim but were
much inferior to tho spOMMM exhibited of
late years.
There wore but few sheep of verv inferior
qualitv. and the swine werj of tbe variety
since known as the " Land 1'ike."
Tho annual address was delivered by Hon. I
Charles E. SrEWAitT, ia his best stylo, from a
drv-goods box under tho Oak tree at tlie north
west corner of tho Court House.
Although many oMojtftafl were entertained
as to the result of this first venture, it was
voted a " Crand success."
Ti.. i i Annual Fair waa held on tbe
Ban.. rnds, and t'i ahowhOJ was very much
larger in every department, and in somo a
marked improvement as to quality was notice
able. ?timi verv good specimons of horses
and cattle wero exhibit?:!. And wo may remark
by the way that tlieee have steadily grown hot
ter from year to year, until wo can now make
a- good I showing hb any County in soutb-we-teni
Michigan the impetus given Ot tho
first exhibition never having relaxed for ou
hour. Perhaps the most marked and decided
improvement ha been in sheep. At the first
show a lew specimens of poor, scrawncy and
' coarso wooled ones wero all thnro wore to ex
: hibit. which wero utterly valueless whon oom-
pare.l with the splendid samples of the Amen-
' can Merino on exhibition at the Fair last week.
Too grounds about tbo Court Houso not
affording bufhcient room, the third Annual
! Fan was held on a common adjoining the Mill
I pond and between tbe Lawton. or as it was
then called, tbo ' ittb? Prairie BondO Itoad,
am! ti rnc. i l:i from tb" :ond to tbo Paw
Pawlmill, but then calletl the "Rig Mill," we
supple beeou it wan the largest and most
extensive mill within one hundred miles,
j At this I'aii a marked improvement iu wmi 1
wa- noticeable ; improved breeds had been ,
: sought aud propagated. I'ho cattle, also, wero
j of a better typo than had bcon previously
shown. Our EttgttOb citizeus o iriy manifested j
; a tasto for the bettor kinds and commenced
propagating tho Durham or Short Horn and j
; Devou varieties. Those havo OTOWdod all
Otbon out and havo become tho " common
cattle"' of tbe County, of which excellent sam. j
j pies are to bo seen on nearly every farm.
This exhibition proved entirely nnd cmi-1
nently IOJoiOOfal The socie ty bad, from its
smnll beginning, becomo au " Institution" of
! magnitude and importance Its lniluouco bc-
gn to bo felt, and its benefit wore fully npprc-
ciated. lmuc dtate step.s wet talton to secure
a location whereon it could establish a fixed
abode. Negotiations wero opened, and a piocc
Ol groondl OM loarol of Peter (.remps, and
with the surplus on hand, fitted up aud usod
as a Tair ( round until it became too small for
tbe accommodation f tbe enlarged and increas
ing exhibitions, when tho Society purchased
tlie resent grounds. which havo boon sub
nil fitted np. iu the winter of 16'J 70,
and held their fWenlietb I air on the r.ew loca
tion in tbe fall of 1870.
