FARMERS ASSOCIATIONS.

Organized associations among farmers fol-
the development and promotion of thei
peculiar interests, are just and profitable
The same rules and regulations obtaining
in the conduct of the special affairs of any
class, are applicable to the use of the agri
cultural part OF the population.
There is no legal reason why farmers
should not meet together. discuss reports
advocate theories and adopt programmes, as
well as the representatives of any other yo
cation in society; in short, there is every
reason why they should,
The conduct of an enterprise is, however,
likely to incur criticism unless it is discharg-
ed with specially prudent forethought In
observing the conduct of numerous farmers
meetings, we have detected an absence OF
forethought; that is, to say the least, un-
Fortunate We refer to the two prominent
assertions of agricultural grievances.
That the agricultural community has its
wrongs, we do not propose to deny. We
only insist that such wrongs shall be right
ed in justice to all classes and without pref
udice against any. 1t is totally unsafe to
scan all society from that visual point which
is purely agricultural; by so doing preju-
dice usurps the place of judgment and de-
feats any laudabie object in contemplation.
Engaged in mutual Interchange of views,
an assembly Of farmers inclined to dwell
upon their grievances, should never consider
their case an essentially exclusive one.
There is no class in society which cannot
and does not, through its leading represent
atives, detail its ill usages at the hands of
the community at large, and with quite as
much consistency as do the farmers when
they indulge in aluguberous straid.
1t is fact indubitably attested that all So
ciety is as a unit mixed up in a common ex-
perience of both real and imaginary woes,
which experience is as old as history itself,
and likely to continue until the youngest of
us have passed to the z great beyond
Still. we do not infena I 81 assert the inn
possibility of correcting, IN the present,
some of the errors that afllses society. The

and we would recommend that our farmers

last year that ripened before frost without
TOPPING. But they were in favotable locali-

the remarkable early maturity of this yarie-

admlsibiliy of such an assertion. The i'm
proved prospect will be fulfilled, not by the
stimulation Of class prejudices, but by the
study and adoption of healthful, mutual re-
lations between the members of different
classes, for it is incontroyertible that though
one class may injure another, in the COM
pete uses and enjoyments of society all
classes depend upon one another, and it is
most damaging to separate them in their

Goats of Mail.

The Dublin correspondent Of tho New

pleasure of seeing, at Pail Mall armor-

steel coats which have been ordered by
several Irish landlords. II has bean stated

for u moment that there was defeneiye

tweed, then a thin wadding Of cotton; next
q layer Of narrow, thin bands Of tempered
steel, kept in place much AZ whalebone is

very close together, being sewed into the
fine canvas, aud simply a line Of stitching
between each piece. Three thieknesses
Of these steel bands, sewed into canvas IN
the same way, comprise the sole armor ia
the coat. Another piece Of wadding is
placed between the bands and the final
lining and the coat IL complete The steel
bands are not long, 80 that the coat docs
