almost every work on the subject, whether pnb-
lished in England, France, or Germany, the most

to use great economy in type, SO that each page of

sibe and it is hoped every one DESTROYS to obtain

THIRD ANNUAL EXHIBITION
Moryland State Agricultural Society

M0ryland State Agricultural society.
A PPEAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MARYLAND
n STATE AGRICULTURAL SocIETY.-We desire
that you should bear in mind, that the 23d,
Oath, and 25th days of October, your Society will
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair at the city Of
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, to
bring for exhibition thereat portions of your socE,
the products of your orchards, and Of your gardens.
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 any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
as as good, if not better than that Of others, and
that it behooves you to gallantly enter the list Of
competition if defeated honorably, and the high
character of the judges is guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
the 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
,oipes and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, embroidery, mousse
hold manufacturers the prodtcts Of the dairy and Of
the poultry yard preserves domestic 'oines coyec-
tions, and, above all things to come themselves,
,orho,tt ,oona,, and the beautiful Celebrations of her
aste and genius no display con be perfect.
To the .Manujactures Of agricultural Implements
and Tools we would say, that interest and patri-
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
priety of making grand exhibition Of your ma
chinery of all kinda, 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 oPthe United States,
make it u matter of pride to display your machi-
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 of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.
