which it has been unaccountably treated. It is time it should 

 be rescued from obscurity, and placed among the most com-

For the best and greatest quantity and quality of woolen, 

 cotton or linen fabrics, made in any family, by the members 

 thereof. Weaving, fulling, and dressing, may be done as 

 usual, in the accustomed modes of performing these opera- 

 tions. The object is, to encourage industrj' in the families 

 of farmers and others, at times when leisure from other oc- 

 cupations permits. Such intervals are too often filled up 

 with dissipation, or suffered to pass away in indolent waste 

 or inattention. The materials being raised or produced on 

 the farm, will entitle to preference in a competition. The 

 breed of sheep, and quality of wool, will be peculiarly re- 

 commendatory. A silver medal. 



Although the society have principally confined their pre- 

 miums to honorary distinctions, the)^ will always be ready to 

 commute them for, or add pecuniary reward to assist in expen- 

 sive or difficult experiments. Onr funds are far below our zeal. 

 But the former are not of so much moment, as energies ex- 

 cited by emulation, among those who have strong propensi- 

 ties to benefit their country, while they are labouring for 

 themselves. Without the co-operation of our fellow citizens 

 of this description, all our well meant endeavours are vain !
