xvl Address, to the. Citizens. 
— 
of active members, must be added, before our objects can be 
attained. An increase of funds is also indispensable. We 
take the liberty of enumerating, briefly, some of the objects 
at which we aim ; and we have published the act of incorpo- 
ration, which the Legislature have been pleased to grant to 
us ; that those who desire to give their assistance, through 
us, to the all important subject of our association, may judge 
for themselves. They will perceive, that we are now in a 
legal capacity to receive donations, and to hold and secure 
property, for the purposes of our institution. The design, and 
means of accomplishing it, may be seen in the first volume 
of our memoirs ; the publication whereof has made no small 
deduction from our scanty funds. 
1. We wish to receive and promulgate agricultural infor- 
mation and intelligence both theoretical and practical ; pre- 
ferring always the latter. In this object we have received 
very flattering encouragement ; both in our own country, and 
by the attentions of Societies and Individuals of * other 
Countries. 
2. We have proposed Premiums to stimulate and encour- 
age our agricultural fellow citizens, in that laudable emu- 
lation, which gives vigour and effect to the efforts of indi- 
viduals in every branch of agriculture, and the arts, and 
manufactures of which it is the source. 
3. We desire. to promote the establishment of a manufac- 
tory of agricultural implements, and of every instrument, 
and utensil required in operations connected with the prac- 
tice of any, and every, branch of husbandry. Also, as part 
of this establishment, a Ware Room for the exhibition and 
sale, when approved and stamped under proper regulations, 
of all such implements, instruments and utensils. And also 
Pi: exposing to view, models and drafts, plans and projects 
for improvements in husbandry and rural economy. 
4. A Pattern Farm, on which every experiment in hus- 
bandry may be made, and approved practice introduced.
