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 fany
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
as good, if not better than that Of others, and
that behooves you to calamity enter the list of
competition if defeated honorabIy, and the high
haracter Of the judges is guarantee that you
an be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy

lied to success than yourself

wipes and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments as embroidery, aose

we are led to believe that the assemblage Of farm

greater than upon any former occasion here o,
elsewhere. We therefore say to the .4gricultura
Implement makers and Mechanics ofthe United States
make it a matter of pride to display your mach
merry at our exhibition, and vie with each other in
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground. Such ambition is laudable-is worthy o.
