greatest amount Of intelligence and skilled
labor in its prosecution. Our State with eli.
mate and facilities second to none, is wholly
without means of diffusing information or en-.
tightening its Agriculturists in this great and
rapidly growing enterprise; most especially
would such an association benefit that large
class Of dalrymen, who are engaged in the
shipment Of Milk. At present the whole bus.
mess is at loose ends, and all losses Of what.
ever kind or at either end of the line, fall on
the producer
In our opinion, co operation would correct
many if not all abuses TO which the business
is now subject, giving the producer better
returns, the commercial dairyman fair and
more steady profit and the consumer a better
article of dairy product
SYKEsvILLE, January 3lst, 1879.
Dear Sir AT a called meeting of the
dairymen residing along the line of the b. Il
o. Il. r., held at Sykesville, to consider the
dairy interest of this State, there was repre-.
sented an annual production Of 200,0 gal
Ions Of Milk, permanent Association was
organized, under the title Of Patapsco Dairy
Association.
1t was unanimously agreed, that the nd.
dress given above should be issued, and
correspondence opened with dairymen il
other sections Of the State, soliciting forms-
ton Of local associations, and the sending by
such local associations, of delegates to meet
in Baltimore by the 18th Of April, or sooner
ifpossible, TO organize State Dairy Associ
alton.
Our object in desiring the formation of
local associations, is to avoid the difficulty en-
countered at a called meeting some two years
since, difficulty that originated from the fact
that delegates TO that meeting were unpre.
pared, and TO which we attribute the failure
10 organize at that time.
By first forming local associations, the sub
ject can be thoroughly discussed and under
stood, and the delegates instructed as to the
special wantso Of their constituents. We there
fore urge upon you to at once form on your
respective lines Of X. Il. or wherever the ma.
terial exists, such local associations as we
have named, in order that we may the sooner
be able to protect our interests in general
organization.
1t is wall known that dairying as business
is wholly conducted on credit, and unprinci.
pied parties knowing this fact, enter into the
sale of dairy products, without the remotest
intention Of paying the producer. Our un.
protected condition permits them to pass
from one shipping point TO another, defraud.
| ing one or more parties at each point, which
from the absence of any means Of dissemina.
ting information on our side, they are able to
do with impunity. In fact, there is hardly a
dniryman who has been any length Of time in
| the business who has not suffered in this re
spect, nor is this the worst feature of the
case, for as the dishonest dealer pays nothing,
he can largely undersel the honest dealer,
disorganizing his business, causing serious
loss from wastage Of surplus milk, and what
is still worse, compelling him TO reduce the
price of all dairy products sold, and conse.
quently corresponding reduction to the pro.
Queer. There is no question but that coop
Grafton would correct this great abuse, and if
it do nothing else, it will amply compensate the
dairyman for the small loss Of time and ex-
pense, necessary to perfect the means of its
accomplishment.
We wish il distinctly understood that we
have no cause Of complaint, nor do we wish
to antagonize the honest commercial dairy
men, on the contrary we cordially invite and
solicit their cooperation in the perfectiug OF
such an organization as will be to our mutual
advantage.
As it is important to obtain the opinion OF
dairymen from other sections Of the State, q
few lines addressed to our Corresponding
Secretary, at Woodbine, Carroll county, Civ.
ing your views, will be duly appreciated and
promptly acknowledged. By order,
L. j. BETS,

FIGHT AT SToSRRsyiiLE.--A correspondent
at Stonersville says there was quite an excite
ment in that little village on Wednesda,
morning, which grew out of fight between
Isaac Mehring and Lewis Haihey, two mer
employed by b. f. Shriver 4 Co. The men
had not been on good terms for some time
and have had several little squabbles. Or
Wednesday, after some quarrelling, during
which HaiAey thrust his FIST under the nose O
Mehring. Mehring seized Ratchet, cut Al
Haitey and made a small cash in the head be
hind the ear, the force Of the blow being les
sened by Haifey catching Mehring's arm,
But for the warding off Of the blow, serious
if not dangerous, wound must have been in
hicted. Haihey then ran, pursued by Mehring
with club.
