fit to their neighbours; and by taking
active interest in those meetings an
immense benefit is to be derived

organize farmers club, composed
of the farmers of the county, the OBJ
iect of which will be to discuss agri
culture, stock raising, &C., as exper

, monthly meetings to be held for tina
purpose. A meeting of the farmer

this meeting is grasses and fodder
, and methods Of curing the same
!, Those meetings and discussions will
doubtless be highly interesting t.
those who participate. All farmer
