No. 105.] 483 



these institutions and schools will spring up in all the great farming 

 districts of our country. In any other locality the means of success 

 will be less efficient, and less available ; its progress will be compara- 

 tively tardy, and its usefulness more limited, because a much less 

 number will have an opportunity to become acquainted with its ad- 

 vantages. 



Nothing exclusive, or partial is intended to be asked for. " The 

 greatest good to the greatest number," is the motto of the American 

 Institute.
