THE AGRICULTURAL WHEEL. 215 



The result was as had been expected. The consolidation 

 was effected and the name of the National Agricultural Wheel 

 was eliminated. To drop the name was an act of patriotism, 

 and should ever be held as such. It will be remembered by 

 those who were present at its birth or assisted in its develop- 

 ment, with loving kindness, and this short history of its rise and 

 progress will no doubt be read with pleasure by its members 

 and friends. It was a grand order, admirably equipped, strong 

 in principles, and effective in its efforts. Hail and farewell to 

 the National Agricultural Wheel !
