WE never know the true value OF

sensitive to their faults: when we have
lost them we only see their virtues.

A FRIEND of Lieut.. Greely thinks
that the Lieutenant is such firm be-
lever in military discipline that, having
been told to stay on Lady Franklin. Bay
he will there remain and perish, If re-
lief does not reach him, rather than dis
obey military orders. Like Cassnbian-
ga. Greedy will perish at his post. This
is IA fine, heroic view to take of Greedy
but, then, nobody would blameslim if
he worked his way to Littleton Island.

DrA submitted to me, and find 1t, as rep

that ever came under my observation
that covered entirely every subject the
practical farmer or breeder is interested
in. The portions devoted to the diseases
of horses, cattle. sheep. swine, poultry,
&c alone make the book worth manv
times the price. Every farmer who
lives far from'a physician will. in times
OF sickness and emergency, appreciate
the Medicinal department and the pois
ons and their antidotes They are in
valuable.
"The book is not only OF value TO the
farmer, but it is as much so to the farm

out one. As one who has been farmer
can recommend the work."

The Farmers Club.

Mt. CARRIcK, Oaro, Feb 1S. '84
|. Ed. SPIRIT: In your issue of Februa-
~ IL correspondent calls upon the far
mers to give their views iu regard to the
organization of Farmers Club in Mon
roe County.
Now, bv permission. will answer
Correspondents request and also give
my opinion as we'll as that OF Others
with whom have conversed on the SUBJ
ject. IA
The organization of Farmers Club
would be a move in the right direction
Especially is this the case now, seeing
the railway has been completed to Zanes'
vile, which gives as an outlet both east
and west for our surplus products, and
also in view OF the fact that another
railway will be constructed at an early
day along the Ohio River through our
county, thereby increasing our facilities
for transportation at all seasons OF the
wear. Hence it behooves US to seek
means to increase our surplu. products,
which will increase the business of the
railway and in return repenish our pock-
et-books with the currency OF the realm.
Now, taking this view OF the subject,
we know Of no better means to increase
our knowledge Of farming than by or
ganiziug q Farmers Club. where we will
have an opportunity of exchanging our
opinions on the various subjecs Of ag.
ricuhure. We would profit by the ex-
perience of others and also have the
pleasure Of bearing lectures delivered by
members of the Agricultural Society oi
the State and Experimental Stations,
whose business it Is to make experiments
for the benefit of the people o, the State
There ore, let us organize Farmers
Club at an earlv dav II enough OF the
farmers OF the county will assist 10 the
enterprise. This proceeding is necessa
ry in order that we may have Farmers
Institute some time in the future. We
also think that q society of this kind
would he beneficial to the County Socie-
ty. The affinity between the two organ
izations would he so nearly allied to each
other az to render both more useful to
the ci'izsus OF the county.
We would suggest that If call for a
meeting be made that an invitation be
extended to the Wool Growers Associa
tion to meet with'us. Let us hear from
other farmers on the subject.
