 m f jjiji t j! â- f i 111 The Standard. MABEDALB. JAN. 18ih« 1888. AGfiiCCLTURAli. The vanoos tawnab^ Agriimltiml 8eetetira' anniul meetiDg w^e held QO Thursday last, and aa for as we eaxx learn, the interests taken by mem- bers and oihsrs in the prosperity of the Tarioos loeicties is growing. There is a qoastion that has been discus sed more or iess at tboee meetings to which we draw attention, and suUcit discnssion throogh the Standard. The qaestion is, whether it is for the best uterests of a township society to allow outsiders (non-residents of the township) to compete for prizes or not, Oar leading Agricultiirists are di- vided on the 4ae)tion, and a friendly discussion from them through the press would no doubt be interestiug aud profitable at this season of the year wbile those matters are fresh iu their minds. We are not prepared at the present time to take a very strong stand on either side the ques- tion, neither is it an easy matter to advance any particular mode of action which would work satisiactory iu all cases, i^or instance, one society may have its place for holding their show fair iu the ceotre of their Jinnicipality, while another may have theirs on the boundary of two or more townships. Gleuelg Society's grounds are, about on the corner of four townships, and IS generously supported by farmers' from each, while Euphrasia show ground is located in tne centre of that township. Ouropmion is that a town- ship socieiy should be confined to the township wnen at all practicable. It is a well known fact that when a man comes a long distance to become a member, it is his intention to make it pay. We have often seen it the case where a society secured three or four dollars from parties at a distance, those few were lullj prepared, and succeeded m carrying off the half of the entire prize money. Then sDme one says had it not been for the exhi- bit of those outsiders we would have a very small show. True, yet if your local men who support the society kutiw that outsiders were not allowed to 3xibit, they would bring out what they have, and a spirit of rivalry would spring up, where otherwise very few had the courage and means to compete successfully with a few who make it a business of attending all the Agricultural show fairs withiu ])erhaps 20 miles round. We will re- fer to this matter aaain in the mean time solicit the views of our Agricul- tural friends, gst your ideas into as short a space as possible. To the Worsbiplal Distnel Master: Dear Sir and Brcâ€" As it haa pl â€" t ed the Grand Master of the aiiiferse, m HimvBterioos l:^vidmoe, to sanun- on your daughter from ber home on earih,and we dedre to express oar an- fdgned sorrow at her death und yoar sore affltetion.we r«^oiee in yoar oonfl- denee that she joineid that home not ma^le with hands, ete^ial iu the hear- ens. We desire to express our regret that at her death you lost an affsction- ate member of your family. Altiiough you will miss her in your Damily eirele yet her memory will ever be green in the recesses of your heart. We desire, as a lodge, to tender you oar sincere and heartfslt sympathy, in this your sore affliction. May He who quieted the troubled waters, send peace and consolation to your sorrowing heart. We feel that you sorrow not as those who have no hope, but that, aftei a short oeparatioa, you and yours may rejoin amid that blest throng and in what happy home where parting is no more.

Now, sir, this should not be al- lowed the billiard department itself is said to be without license, and the liquor business should not be tolerated.

J, Bt^ ^ii^,^as foUowBi;^ Your Directors in presenting their annual report take great pleasure in congratulating the members on the success of the fall exhibition, taking into consideration the expense incur- red by purchasing the ground, fencmg, building hall, and other outlays. The members will no doubt be sat* isfied that this was sufficient cause for tne low prizes which the directors were obliged to offer. During the past year we have man- aged to pay out nearly six hundred dollars (exclusive of borrowed money paid for ground) in prizes and sub- stantial improvements made in Socie- ty's grounds by building fencing, etc. These improvements being made we can now hope for a good and prosper- ous future for the Society. As it always takes members to make a Society, we sincerely hope that the agriculturalists in the surrounding country will become members and take a deep interest in the prosperity of the Society, by so doing they would undoubtedly experience the great pleasure of seeing this Society one of the best in the (;ounty if not in the Province. All agricultural societies have for their object a grand motive â€" the ad- vancement of our iuteresta â€" an'i they have already done a great wark in in troducipg thorough-bred stock and seed grain, yet there is a great work for tlitm to do. We respectfully submit these re- marks for your consideration. Wm. Douglas, President. ON OUR TABLE. ••Letters to a young Merchant." A book of 120 pages.
