FIFTH ANNUAL EXHIBITION OF THE Siiitrir Stairs l^gritiiltiuMi .Sociclii AT LOUISVILLE, KY., August 3Ist, and September Ist, 2d, 3d, 4ttt, and 5tii, 1857. GENERAL ARRANGEMENTS. The Fifth Anni\\l Exhibition op the United States Ag- ricultural Society, will be held on the spacious grounds of the South-AVestern Agricultural and Mechanical Association, at Louis-, ville, Ky., on Monday, August 31st, and Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, September 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, and 5th, 1857. The gates will be opened for the admission of the pubhc, from 7 A.M., until sundown, of each day. The Marshals, and the Superintendents of the varioua classes will meet at the President's J\Iarquee, at 8 o'clock, A. M., on the morn- ing of each day, to perfect arrangements for the day. 8 U P E HI N T E N D E N T S . The Superintendents are required to take particular charge of all matters in their respective departments, and see that they are prop- erly arranged, for easy approach and examination. They will also see that horses and cattle are provided wlili hal- ters, by their owners, and suitably arranged for exhibition each day, and notify exhibitors to be in readiness for exhibition. THE J U D G E S . The .Judges are requested to report themselves at the business office of the Secretary, on the grounds, where cards of admission, etc., etc., for the day on which they are to serve, Avill be furnished to them. 6 Vacancies will be filled by the Executive Comraitlee, at 9 A. M., of each day, when the books of entries will be delivered. The exhibition In the cattle rings or on the track, will take place punctually at the hour specified in the programme. The Judges will report not only. the animals and articles entitled to premiums, but also those next in merit, in each class, to meet the contingency of any objection which may arise to the awards, and also that they may receive suitable commendation. Any animal or article which, in the opinion of the Judges, deserves special commendation, will be so reported to the Executive Committee. Regard will be had to the purit}^ of blood, as established by ped- igree, symmetry, size, and general characteristics of the several breeds of animals; and the Judges will make proper allowance for age, feeding, and other circumstances. Therj are er.pressly required not to give encouragertierd to over-fed animals in the breeding classes. If not satisfied as to the regularity of the entries in their respect- ive clas.^es, they will apply to the Secretary for information; and should there still be any doubt, after examination, or, if any animal or article is of such a character as not to be entitled to exhibition in competition, they w*ill report the facts to the Secretary, for the con- sideration of the Executive Committee, that such course may be adopted as the case may require. No person who is an exhibitor can act as Judge on the class in which he exhibits. And, during the examination by the Judges, if any person interferes with them, by letter or otherwise, he will be excluded from the competition. But exhibitors, when requested, are expected to make verbal or written statements concerning their contributions. Judges are particularly requested to hand their reports to the Secretary as soon as their decision is made, and, as one great object of the Society is to collect Valuable information upon the subject- matter of the exhibition, the several committees of Judges are requested to gather all the information possible from exhibitors in their classes, and to 7na]cQ their reports as fall as time and cir- cumstances VjlU p>^i"n%it. Notice of intention to enter live stock, and all other contributions, should be sent to the Secretary on or before August 23, that proper arrangements may be made for their accommodation. Letters may be addressed to the Assistant Secretary, Col, L. A. Whiteley, Louisville, Ky. The Reports of Judges will be published in the Journal of the United States Agricultural Society, which is furnished to Life Members of the Society, without other expense than postage. EXHIBIT o n s . Entries of stock, &c., maybe, made at tlie olHce of the Secretary, on the grounds, until 1) o'clock, A. M., on Tuesday, when tlic l)Ook« will be closed. The exhibition of stock in the rings and on the track will take ^XdidQ precisely at the times and in the order specified', and animals not prepared at the proper time and place, may, at the discretion of the Judges, be ruled out of competition. Stock, &c., will be marked with cards furnished by the Secre- tary, designating the class and No. of entry; and during the exhi- bition they must be placed entirely under the management of the ofliccrs of the Society. Authentic pedigrees of Blooded Stogk of all kinds will b?. re- quired. No horse will be allowed a premium unless he is sound. A track for the trial of horses, and commodious seats for specta- tors have been prepared. For any exhibitors who may wish to dispose of their stock, the services of an auctioneer have been secured, and the use of the grounds will be given during the recess for dinner each day, and the Secretary will give notice of such sale, if early entry is made with him to that effect. The Executive Committee will take every possible precaution for the safe keejjing of stock, &c., on exhibition, after its arrival and arrangement upon the grounds, but will not be responsible for any damage that may occu^r. They desire visitors to give personal at- tention to their animals and articles, and at the close of the Fair, to attend to their removal. Exhibitors must sec to the delivery of their contributions upon the Show grounds ; and the Society cannot, in any case, make pro- vision for their transportation, or be subjected to any expense therefor, either in their delivery at or return from the grounds ; but all the expenses connected therewith must, as heretofore, be pro- vided for by the exhibitors. For the convenience of exhibitoi's, stalls will be provided for the stock ; and straw for litter, with water, will be supplied without charge; so that animals, on their arrival, may be driven to the Show Grounds, and nefed not be removed till the Exhibition is closed. Hay and Grain will also be upon the ground, and will be furnished to those who desire it, at the market price. In Class V. (Poultry) it is expected that every trio will consist of a cock and two hens. The coops of all specimens must be l., Md. HughM. Nelson, Millwood, Clark co , Va. P. Tippet, St. Louis, Mo.

In presenting the following list of premiums for the Implements and Machines of Agriculture, the Society desire to state to the public that they are well convinced that for the awards upon the comparative excel- lence of competing machines to be of real practical benefit to manufact- turers, and more especially to farmers themselves, they should be made only upon the results obtained by thorough working trial of the same ; and with this fact in view, it will, at its exhibitions of the present year, cause all articles embraced in the class of Agricultural Imple- ments and Machinery to be submitted to a thorough and impartial examination before a competent Board of judges. The vast increase of the area under cultivation, and the diminishing 34 proportional number of laborers, render it a matter of first consequence to procure the greatest possible variety of labor-saving machines ; and inasmuch as their purchase is necessarily attended by a large outlay of capita], it is equally important that the public should be advised of the comparative merits of the various claimants to their patronage. The awards, then, of an Agricultural Society, are important in proportion to the position of that Society before the public, and as these awards are beneficial when given to worthy objects, they are on the other hand productive of great mischief if hastily made, or unfairly granted. Manufacturers of really valuable machines should lend active assist- ance to an Agricultural Society in suppressing worthless ones, and especially the farmers, the purchasers of these implements, should zealously co-operate in such a laudable undertaking. To meet the obligations which it necessarily assumes towards the nation, the United States Agricultural Society is this year about to institute its first Great National Field Trial of Agricultural Imple- ments, and aska of manufacturers in every section of the country to lend their assistance in rendering it one of the moat complete and im- portant occasions of the kind which has ever been witnessed in our country, or in Europe. That the successful competitors may possess some token of their pre- eminence at its trials, the Society will cause to be made a magnificent medal, in gold, silver, and bronze, to be awarded to articles of various classes, and different degrees of merit. Three Grand Gold Medals of Honor have been appropriated for the following objects. First. — For that machine which shall accom- plish the most thorough disintegration of the soil, with greatest econ- omy of labor, time and money. Under this head are included all steam plows and digging machines which propose to supersede the plow. Second. — For the best motive power for genera! farm use — either by wirid, steam, or horse — to be adapted to all kinds of work. The judges to decide which will accomplish the intended purpose with least expenditure of power, time, and money. Third. — For the most important invention relating to Agriculture^ which has been patented within the last three years, and which may be on exhibition ; provided, however, that the same be thought worthy of such honor. The award of a Grand Medal of Honor will depend upon a Council of all the Judges of implements and machinery who may be appointed^ and be decided by a majority of votes. For machines and implements of the various classes, which may not 35 be enumerated in the following schedule, special Certificates of Com- mendation, Diplomas, and Discretionary medals will be provided and be placed at the disposal of the juries of awards. In no case will a premium be granted to an implement on exhibition if it be not worthy of such distinction, although it may not have com- petitors, and in all cases the preference shall be given to those which perform their proposed labor with the greatest reference to economy. The object of these trials being to show the working qualities, and not the ornamental appearance of machines, it is desirable and expected that the competing article shall not be of better quality than the average stock on sale at the warehouse, and if manufacturers desire to exhibit great excellence of workmanship and adornment in their implements, they are requested likewise to enter one of average excellence, with the price of the same attached. Each exhibitor. should prepare, in writing or print, a condensed and lucid statement of the superiority claimed by him for his implement over others of a similar nature, which should be given to the chairman of the jury of awards in his Class, and he should be prepared to exhibit and explain the several points if so requested. By so doing, the labor of the jury Avill be much lightened and the inventor or manufacturer be enabled to secure a complete attention to the important features of his machine or implement. Notice of intention to exhibit ma^^hines may be given to the Assistant Secretary, L. A. Wliiteley, Louisville, Ky., or to the Secretary of the Committee on Implements, H. S. Olcott, Westchester Farm School, Mount Vernon, N. Y., or to the Superintendent, Joseph E. Holmes, Newark, Ohio, until Aug. 15th ; all communications after that date must be addressed to the Assistant Secretary, L. A. Whiteley. If exhibitors delay until the week before the exhibition their application, it may be a matter of impossibility to make arrangements to test, in a thorough and satisfactory manner, the tardy machines. Articles intended for exhibition may be forwarded to the address, ^'Agent U. S. Agricultural Society, Louisville, Ky.," and they will be received and stored free of charge. No articles of any description will, however, he received unless all charges are prepaid hy the shipper. The duration of the Trial will not be controlled by that of the Show of Stock and Products ; but will commence at the same time, and suf- ficient time will be employed to ensure a complete test trial of all machines and implements. Exhibitors should be on hand a day or two before the commencement of the Trial, to draw their lots, get their 36 articles in readiness for exhibition, and be prepared to render assistance if required. Each one should have at hand duplicates of such parts of their implement as would be liable to break, or be seriously damaged during the Trial. A pamphlet containing a history of the proceedings, reports of udges, with a view of the grounds at Louisville, will be published after the Fall Trial, and copies forwarded to exhibitors, on application. Extra copies furnished at the cost of publication. OTrners of premium machines may have them inserted in the Report, by furnishing a well executed engraving of the same. The fees for entrance will be as follows : — ENTRANCE FEES. AUTUMN TRIAL AT LOUISVILLE, KY. Plows, Drills, Cultivators, and all other implement? tried in the open field, . $10 00 Entries for the Society's Silver Medal — articles tri'^.d within the Fair Grounds, .... . 5 00 Entries for the Bronze Medal 2 00 Entries for the Grand Medals of Honor, . . „ . 25 00 PLOWS. Since the trial of Plows at Albany, in 1850, by the New York Society, the talent of our mechanics has been employed in developing many new and important principles in the construction of this, perhaps, most impor- tant of all agricultural implements, and the result is the production of forms of great symmetry, and increased capacity to perform thorough work. As the cost of plowing is in great part dependent on the force ex- pended, it is a matter of great importance to find combined in one imple- ment lightness of draft and ability to accomplish much and thorough work. The judges will therefore consider : 1st, The character of the work performed ; 2d, The power required in draft ; 3d, Quality and general adaptability of materials, durability and cost of implement. Before the commencement of the trial, the condition of the furrow- slice and details of experiment will be decided and announced by the judges. The Plows are to be held by competitors, or persons appointed by them. The Plows all tried by the Dynamometer. 37 PREMIUMS ON PLOWS. FALLOW. Large Silver Medal and Diploma. Large Bronze Medal.

Bronze Medal, It will be seen, by reference to the above premium list, that no award is offered by the United States Society for the articles of greatest excellence, which would be an equivalent in cash for the ex- penses of exhibition. If a large compensation in money were to be paid at all, it manifestly should be given to exhibitors who fail to receive a premium ; for the endorsement by this Society of the claims of an implement or machine is ample recompense for any reasonable ontlay which might be incurred in the act of exhibition. The value of the premiums is enhanced by the fact that they are only given after 42 a thorough ti-ial in the field, and that they will not be awarded in any case unless the article competing is fully deserving of such distinction, even although there may be an absence of competitors for the same prize.
