Agencies may be exceedingly useful, but
when We undertake TO establish them we arc
very likely to meet difficulties for which we
are unable to provide. Good business talent
in mercantile matters may exist in every
farming community but without the requisite
training it is sure to get worsted when it is
sent into the great commercial centers."-
Elmira HuSbandmaH.
The grange, or some other form of far
mers' club may be made one of the efficient
means for the dissemination of information
among farmers. Aud now that the long win
ter evenings are on our hands these meetings
should be attended as often as possible.
Where there is no club already in existence
a few public spirited ones should at once
proceed to organize one. Almost every one
may be induced to take hold of one in some
shape.-KanSaS Farmer.
