Allow me a few remarks upon our Agri-
cultural Soc cites. They are effective in
in developing the mind and
to the highest impressive
Iuirements. They compose a machinery
which gives complete effectiveness to all the
purposes OF mechanics, manufacture and
nucleus around which all
skill centers. Duty and sound policy
therefore concur in so conducting and di-
-ecting them to accomplish their desirable
inns. Well devised and rightly managed,
hey can be made effective in eliciting the
attention and disposing the aims and efforts
II the people in the right direction. Their
junction is TO stimulate TO action and pro-
note the collective interests of the people.
They form a corporation OF mu'liGi insurance,
and partnership of productive industry
and commerce. They are charged also
with necessary charities, and collectively
undertake the education OF their members.
They leave TO each patron his private in
.erests, while their general provisions COM
prehend everyone Of them, and they are
iCstered without interference with their
rights. They answer TO every
luty as well as every necessity OF the indi-
vidual Tor efiecting the general good to the
greatest number. They have done more,
in developing agricultural knowledge for
he millions of our land and for the coming
millions in expectancy, than all the instan
,es of associative effort made in all time by
undertaking a great work
without the proper agencies. Our town,
county, State and Union Societies give play

rood, and act as tremendously az the plan
It's roll in their respective orbits; and they
,uardedly secure the prosperity, and pre-
ect the wealth, intelligence and interests
# the whole community. The individual
nan, his diversified interefts and all the
he is capable, fall within their
purview for protection, encouragement, and
help; and offer every possibility in him
and all the members free play and fitting
channels of competitive activity. An Or
