ThESE^KXPEETOENTS, it is TKUK, AKE not east; still THET are in the l^JWKR OF EVEBT 

 THINKING irnSBANDMAN. UK WHO ACCOMPLISHES BUT ONE, OF HOWEVER LIMITED APPLICATION, AND 

 TAKI5S CARE TO REPORT IT FAITHFULLY, ADVANCES THE SCIENCE, AND, CONSEQUENTLY, THE PEACTICE 

 OF AGRICULTURE, AND ACQUIRES THEREBY A RIGHT TO THE GRATITUDE OF HIS FELLOWS, AND OF THOSE 

 WHO COME AFTER. TO MAKE MANY SUCH IS BEYOND THE POWER OF MOST INDIVIDUALS, AND CANNOT 

 BE EXPECTED. THE FUiST CARE OP ALL SOCIETIES FORMED FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF OUR SCIENCE 

 SHOULD BE TO PREPARE THE FORMS OF SUCH EXPEBIMENTS, AND TO DISTRIBUTE THE EXECUTION OF 

 THESE AMONG THEIR MEMBERS.
