The following Is an extract from Report to the New York State Agricultural Society:

 The ccmmiiise would ask indulgence for lew moments 10 remark. that butter dailes constitute the most valuable agricultural intefestin this Saie and cannot receive too much of the fostering care of this society.

 In locking at the returnsefthe last Slate census. the article ol wheat appears at the first view. to he the most valuable crop produced in this Slate.

 The nanlher of bushels raised in one year, Is given al I3,a9l.770, which, at ninety cents per bushei, which is believed to be lalr average pree in all parts o the State for several years :ogether yields Sl2.052,563.

 The quantity of butter made during the same year, was 78,50I, ,733 pounds, which, at twelve and hail cents per pound. which IS believed to be al similar fair average price, yields Ss,937,7l6.

 To tlis may fairly be aided, for increase ot the butter dairy, as follows:

 Tnere were mixed the same year. 999, 100 COWS, of which number three 6iths least, il IS estlina' ted appropriated to batter dases, and the re" mainir to cheese daties. Three fiths oi me wtule nunbe, would be 59 ,6s5, winch would yield say 500 coo calves, after throwing away the 996so for casulies, and'ia conformty to custom which prevails .n some plscesgoi killing them when one or two days oid--enough. the Committee ihinK, 10 warrant in saying that lhc increase of the 500,OO0 cows, in the shape of veal and calves raised, would be eqda 10 two dollars per head, which would givo Si,9O0,oo0.

 \ ieIc NefS~tnc same year ,+SI,O04 HoSss hOiths doubtless, upon an average, three colsTs per head one thFd of which number may bc considered as raised annually by the milk from the cows used for butter dairies. One .thiid oi the whole number IS 52s. llI which, al three dollars each, IS St, ,5si, 34s. The whole may be summed sp ga follo@s: 7s. sol ,7s2 lbs butter, i2y cen,sperb so,9s7.7iG Increase Of 599 .6h5 cows. after dedachng

 If the Committe, have. estimated the increase from the cows too high, or il they have put down loo many logs is the product of the butter dairy, either CT both items my be much diininshed, and yctleave bal.pce in IaycF of the butter crop

 Another at.giniaSe oi tie butter dairy oyer the wheat cfoprconssls in iie cost of labor of produe- lion and transportation 10 market. The labor of females and boys B used mainly ih tine milking of cows and Rabing the butter, which Is cheaper than the labor required n ploughng, sowing. and thesh- ing the wheat, and carrying it to market. .Fs

 The cost ol transportation to market is graaily in favor Of the butter dairy

 Forty hrkiBs of butter and three tons of pork would be considered good crop from a very con siderable farm, and }el this quantity would not make more than five oi six buDdred bushels of wheat, the product ot modArate fartn, would make twenty wagon loads, and the cost of railroad trans- por,a'ion would show a siig!aar inequality

 Moreover. the process lsf grazing in making the daiiy crops, continually feFtilizcs the soil and in this respect itexibi,s decided advantage over the wheat crop, the process of Pioughing q adaaliy wears upon aud fed1ces it's fertility.

 The r&airy is also yeEy uniform and reliable, while the wheat crop is subject to many eoatngen- c:es.

 The above cacp'ajions ere not claimed 10 be 4ults accurate, but they are believed 10 be suiTi gently to Siow that the butter dairy is the most Valuable farming interest in the State, api worthy the in n9st favorable regard of every friend ricul- ture.--.4l5rty Caliraior,
