 they thought it advisable. I would suggest that it be : — 



Voted, That the President, Secretary and Treasurer consti- 

 tute a Committee with power to appoint one or three members 

 of this Society as delegates, who shall be requested to attend 

 each and any locnl Agricultuial Fairs, Exhibitions or Institu- 

 tions in this County, as said Committee shall see fit to desig- 

 nate, and to report to this Society any and all information that 

 shall seem to them valuable for publication in our "Transac- 

 tions." This Society to Ijc at no expense on account of such 

 delegates.

 as on a large scale, to be successful, so that probably cannot 

 come within reach of the smaller sized farms ot New England, 

 unless some one person could ])Vo\e it to be of true value, and 

 enough desii-al)le to make a business of supplying the farmers.
