Preamble.

/
Human happiness is the acme OF
earthly ambition. Individual happi-
ness depends upon general prosperity.
The prosperity of nation is in pro-
portion to the value of its productions.
The soil Is II source from whence we
derive all that constitutes wealth;
without il we would have no agricul-
ture, no manufacturers, no commerce.
| OF all the material gifts of the Creator,
the various productions of the vegeta-
BILE world are of the first importance.
The art of agriculture is the parent and
precursor of all arts, and its products
the foundation Of all wealth.
The productions of the earth are sub
ject to the influence of natural laws,
invariable and indisputable; theamOunt
produced will consequently be in pro-
portion to the intelligence of the pro-
Queer, and success will depend upon
his knowledge of the action of these
laws, and the proper application of
their principles.
Hence, knowledge is the foundation
of happiness.
The ultimate object Of this organiza-
ton is for mutual instruction and pro-
lection, TO tighten labor by diflusing u
knowledge of its aims and purposes
expand the mind by tracing the beau
tiful laws the Great Creator has estab.
lished in the universe, and to enlarge
our views of Creative wisdom and
power.
To those who read Alright, history
proves that In all ages society Is frag-
mentary, and successful results of gen
eral welfare can be secured only by gen.
eral effort. Unity OF action can not be
acquired without discipline, and dis
cipline can not be enforced without
significant organization hence we
have ceremony of invitation which
binds us In mutual fraternity rs with u
band of iron; but although its influence
il 80 powerful, its application is as
gentle as that of the silken thread that
binds wreath of flowers
The Patrons of Husbandry consist of
the following:
Organizations Subordinate Oranges.
First degree-Laborer imam, maid
(woman.)
Second degree-Cultivato IMAM,
