to organize Farmers Club in every district
in this county, auxiliary to the Carroll County
Agricultural Society. We cannot TOO strongly
eommend this purpose to the attention of our
farmers, as calculated to result in vast profit
to themselves, through an improvement Of
their present system of agriculture. Trades
and professions of all kinds, combine for their
mutual benefit. Why should not the farmers
do the same thingl They will he surprised
themselves, at the advantages flowing from
such association. The winter months are be-
fore them, and they can meet once week in
their clubs, and talk over everything that re.
lates to their mutual interests as farmers, and
they viii very soon become so much Interested
IN their club meetings, rs to attend them, even

a club has been formed in every district or

MiLKASp BuTTR.--An intelligent farmer of
this county, remarked, few days since. that
four .tiiths Of the milk aud butter consumed in
Baltimore city, was supplied by Pennsylvania
and Delaware. These facts, be thought, wero
not very croditsble to the farm and dairy or,
creations Of Baltimore, Hartford, and Carroll
counties, all of which are convenient to Bal.
timore. Carroll, alone, ought to be able 10
furnish large proportion of these supplies.
and might do so, il milk and butter were made
especially. Situated as Carroll county Is, so
convenient to Baltimore, he thought that
stock and dairy products would be far more
prohsabie than grain culture. The subject is
commended to the consideration of our farm.
