THIRD ANNUAL EXHIBITION
OF THE
" ryyand State AppicuIturaI SOcief


| A PPEAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MARYLAND
| ~ STATE AGRrcuLTURAL SOCiETy.--We desire
that You should bear IN mind, that ON 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 stock
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 1t Is
only by comparison that the relative merits ofany
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 calamity enter the list of
competition if defeated honorably, and the high
character of the judges is Il guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
the luxury Of knowing that others were more en-
tiled 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
lvipes and daughters to bring whatever appertalns
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, mousse
hold manufactures, the proacfs Of the dairy and Of
The poultry Yard, preserves. domestic aDtes, cOnfec
tions, and above all things, to come themselves, as
,o,thoa ,ponan, and The beautiful celebrations Of her
aste and genius, no display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
aud Tools, we would say, that interest and patri-
otism both combine to enjoln upon you the pro
priety of making grand exhibition of your ma
chi,ery of all kinds, as from present advces,
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 Of The United States
make it a 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 laudabe-is worthy of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

| fer favor by copying this notice.
