Msryland State Agricultural Society.
A PPEAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MARYLAND
~ STATE AGRICULTURAL SoCIEry.-W 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 it is
only by comparison that the relative merits of any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
IS as good if not better than that of others, and
hat it behooves you to gallanty enter the list OF
ompetition if defeated honorably, and the high
Ian 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
properly in your department., we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
,opes and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, embroidery, mousse
hold manufactures, the proa.ets Of the dairy and Of
the poultry yard, preserues. domestic ptnes c0ntec-
lions, and, above all things, to come themselves, as
WITHOUT tooman, and the beautiful Celebrations Of her
aste and genius. no display can be perfect.
To the manufacturers If agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and pntrl-
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
priety of making 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 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 audable-is worthy of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.
