that the time is not far distant when

OF Illinois or Missouri or tho clover

this must aud will be deniby a mo
rhsnlc who resides among US and
who has studied the nature OF the
soil and aseerlained precisely what
is required.
There are not only peculisrities
TO be found in our soil. but also in
the very rivers which wind their
serpentine courses through cur
State. As n different kind OF YES

'road that can DO built. The first,
and may bo tho second, effort to
navigate it may bo partial failure;
but, than God, mon do not become
discouraged by mutiny with partial
failures. If such wero true of our
race there mover would have been
any progress in this great science
The first effort to work a steam en-
gino was partial failure, and SO
with almost every other enterprise
but enough was demonstrated to
satisfy tho genius that it could be
mado a success and it was made so
The spirit of Improvement is nei-
ther discouraged by failures nor
satisfied with its first Inventions
1t goes on still improving those in
ventions until its final strike at per.
fiction stands without a model. The
first steam engine invented is scarce
ly model in any respect Of those
used at. the present day.
Improvchicnt is the order of the
day. Improvement is everything
and Improvement We must have; W.
can have it and we will have it. NJ
valid reason can be assigned why
we should not have it or why W.
will not have it. We have as gooc
mechanics as there are any where
and they only require encourage
ment, great inducements. Let those
great inducements be presented t.
them. Let that proud and restless
spirit of enterprise take POSSESSION
Of the minds Of the people, will
which it is only necessary TO deter
mine upon thing to insure its com
plete accomplishment and the very
control with it will arouse u slum
bcring genius among our country
men not dreamed Of TO day and W.
could even imagine tho mighty re
to be enjoyed by tho coming genera
tion.
Another object of this association
is TO improve tho stock-raising in
terests of the country; and this, no
