Early Farming The Putnam County farmers began at a very early day to improve the quality of their livestock, giving especial attention to the breeding of cattle for the beef market. Many of the pioneers came from counties in Kentucky, which had then made considerable advancement in that business. Col. A. S. Farrow and Roach Frakes were among the earliest to introduce fine cattle into the county for breeding purposes. Col. Farrow was also one of the foremost breeders of horses, and owned the first jack in the county. In 1845, Dr. A. C. Stevenson bought some thoroughbred cattle, the first in the county, from Mr. Owen and in 1853 he imported three direct from England. The first fair for the exhibition of stock, was held on the 7th day of September, 1837, on the ground occupied by the Presbyterian Church recently destroyed by fire. It was but little more than a shqw of livestock, held on the open ground, and without fees. A committee passed judgment on the merits of animals exhibited, but no premiums were paid. The horse owned by Col. S. S. Farrow was adjudged the best in that department; but the other winners on that day cannot now be remembered. In the year 1838 or 1839, another fair was held on an open lot, near the present site of the new Asbury University building. At this exhibition, a bull called Tecumseh, owned by Anderson B. Matthews, took the premium in that class. Since that time, there has grown up among the farmers of the county a spirit of emulation and enterprise, which has been the means of bringing into the county from other states and foreign countries, some of the best stock to be had anywhere. The Putnam County Agricultural Society was organized about the year 1852, and continued to hold annual fairs for the exhibition of all kinds of stock, produce and manufactures, from 1853 to 1862. From the latter date until 1868. there were no fairs held by the society, owing to the unsettled state of the country occasioned by the civil war. The society was reorganized, and immediately fitted up grounds on the farm of Hon. John A. Matson, east of the Bloomington road, a short distance south of the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad depot, where it continued to hold its annual fairs until its

removal to the new grounds, east of the city of GreencasUe, in the fall of 1877. In the early days of the county, the farmers suffered greatly for lack of markets for their products. The best points at which they could dispose of their surplus grain were Madison and Lawrenceburg on the Ohio, and Lafayette on the Wabash River. In those days, too, they drove their fat hogs on foot to Cincinnati, or to the ports on the lakes. Under such conditions, no one had any idea of the future prosperity of the County. But a day of change came — the day of the railroads and steam transportation. One of the first railroads in the state was that from Indianapolis to Terre Haute. This road was completed and opened for business early in the year 1852. The last rail on this road was laid on Sunday morning, about midway between Greencastle and Fillmore. Within the following year, the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago road went intq operation. The opening of these roads marks a new era in the history of Putnam County. The Indianapolis and St. Louis road, the only other one within the county, was completed on July 11, 1870.
