bring for exhibition thereat portions Of your stock

Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as it is
only by comparison that the relative merits of any
ching can be determined. The safer presumption
Cor you to arrive at, will be that what you have
as as good, IL not better than that Of others, and
that it behooves you to calamity enter the list of
if defeated honorably, and the high
haracter of the Judges is guarantee that you
an be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
he luxury of knowing that others were more en-
lied to success than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department, We crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
loipes and daughters 10 bring whatever appertains
their peculiar departments, as embroidery, house
bold manufactures, the proarcis Of the dairy aud Of
the poultry yard preserves, domestic ,oines colec-
ons and, above all things, to come themselves, as
c,itout ,ooma, and the beautiful celebrations Of her
asie and genius, no display can be perfect.
To the ylfa,.utacirsrs Of agricultural Implements
t,ld Tools, we would say, that interest and patri-
otsm both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
priety of making a grand exhibition Of your ma
chinery of all kinds, as from our present advices,
we are led to believe that the assemblage of farm
ers and planters, and Of distinguished strangers
from most OF the States of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere We therefore say to the agricultural
Implement makers and Mechanics the United States,
make it u matter of pride to display your mach-
merry ut our exhibition, and vie with each other in
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground Such ambition is laudable-is worthy Of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages, with Is or 20 splendid steel engravings,
and more than 600 engravings on wood, in the
highest style Of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in by the best
farmers, the best methods OF ploughing, planting,
haying, harvesting, &C., &C., the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfection; IN short
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and

of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers of "a pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
