The remarkable fertility of the soil of California, its genial climate and adaptabil ity to furnish both temperate and tropical fruits, together with the great advancement of the agricultural interests during the past few years, have attracted to that countiva large share of attention. Owing to these facts a single year has sufficed to work complete revolutions in her internal econ omy. One season looking to 'he Atlantic States for food, the next she assumes the position of a producer, and sends to New York the products of her hills and vallevs. So suddenly and so easilv was the change wrouglv, that one, speaking of the facility with which crops were raised, remarked, "You have but to tickle the earth with a hoe. and it laughs with a harvest/' \\ e gather the following items rt-la'ite to the agricultural portion of lite State Fair, held at San Jose, from the California Farmer for October 24th and 31st. The first matter which attracted the at tention of the editor thereof on entering was "a pumpkin of enormous size, weigh ing 256 pounds, and measuring seven feel tight inches in circumference, l'urtiu ron were some enormous cheeses, weighing 346, 106 and 74 pounds respectivelv.— They were of fine fiat or, and show that we can make as good cheese here as cnu be made in the Last. S>tiil further along we noticed some enormous sugar-beets that cannot be easily beat: one of tbetn weigh ed 103 pounds, and measured —well, we could not measure it. there were so raanv roots and branches, and all so enormous!v large, that we were as sorely puzzled as the Irishman when sent to count the pigs; counted all but one. a little speckled pig. that kept frisking about so that he could not count him. So with this; so manv branches appeared that we could make no beginning to measure. Another beet, three feet four inches long, two feet two incites in circumference at the top. and twenty inches in circumference two feet and a iiu'ii from the top; weight not known. These grew in the Fountain Garden at San Jose. There were many smaller bee's that :mv where eise would have attrac;ed unusual attention, but beside these monstrous roots they were but pigmies. Some of the largest Lima beans we have ever seen, were from the same garden. Bv their side were two bunches of veiy large pars nips. The name of the garden from which they w ere taken we could not learn, nor of the enormous cabbages could we find the ovvnei's name. There were sev eral of these cabbages that were verv iarge —one weighing fifty pounds, measuring four feet eight inches in circumference; and two others a trifle smaller. The pre mium sample of oats averaged 134 bushels to the acre. Six samples of sijk on exhi bition. No. 1. Sample of spun siik Irani native cocoon. No. 2. Floretti silk from native cocoon. No. 3. Native cocoon.— No. 4. Two native wild cocoons. No. 5. Cocoons raised in the house. No. 6. Cocoons raised on a rose bush.

FAXON'S Attachment of Vulcanize J India Ilubbei Sprint* to the Tubes oj Grain Drills. 'HUE undersigned, having perfected an arrangement for -*■ ihe attachment of a Gum Spring to the Tubes and Drag Bars of Cram Drills, is happy to inform Farmers arid all others-interested in the growing of XX'heat and other grains, ibat he is piepared to furnish GRAI.Y DRILLS, with the above article attached, at the shortest notice, at his Foundry, in Mc Veytown, Pa. Seeders have become an almost indispensable article to the Farmer, and be will find that the attachment of the Gum Spring will enhance its value at least one-half All the deten tion and trouble caused by the breaking of wooden pins is entirely done away with by this arrangement, and a man.or boy.can perform nearly double the labor that be could under ihe old pian, wilh much greater ease, both to himself and horses. There need be no fear of the Spring breaking, for if there is an article that wil neither tweak, rot, or wear out, the Gum Spring is that article, and I hazard nothing in saying that mv Grain Drill b the sim plest in construction, most economical performance, and therefore the most durable ever offered to the agri cultural public The feed is so arranged thai it wdl sow !.
