upon every man, and that each mans
duty does affect his neighbours interest
moro or less, and
! Whereas, Some Of our far seeing
friends have labored and secured the
location of the Experimental Farm 10
our midst, and we believe 1t will lead
to the revoluttonizipg Of the farming
interest of this country; and
| Whereas, We do not believe 1t to be
right for the few in radious OF two or
three miles around the station to bear
the burden of support altogether and
Whereas, Our solicitations for visitors
extend so far over the State, Therefore
be it resolved, That we expect every
man living within ten miles OF the sta
ton to visit as often as Is practicable
and bring with him some provisions
TO assist in providing for those tha
come from distance, and that we use
our best influence to get every body
throughout the country TO visit thu
farm at least once a month: And IL
This way we can show our apprecia
tiop for the location of the farm in GU
midst. JAS. M. Sklees'
