command. Educate your children that they may have a founda¬ 
tion upon which to build their life work, whether farming or 
other avocations. 
Col. Warner thought there should be no conflict between the 
societies, but both should work for the common good; that 
great caution and care were necessary to prevent humbugs which 
were continually on the wing to entice the unsophisticated ; that 
these societies would no doubt do much good, but that farmers 
should not expect too much, if so, they would be disappointed 
and discouraged. 
Mr. Flint was in favor of the widest discussion in this matter, 
and wanted to see the merits of each society brought out. Let 
there be toleration on both sides. We need both of these indus¬ 
trial societies to carry on the work so well begun by the farming, 
producing interest. 
Mr. Palmer of Rock had tried to form a grange in his county, 
but was met with much opposition ; but found favor among the 
people in the organization of a club; thought both societies had 
been successful in diffusing information and intelligence among 
the people, and were of great value to the farmers of the state. 
Mr. Stoddard moved that clubs, granges and all who are friend¬ 
ly, join hands in advancing the interests of the agricultural classes. 
Mr. Anderson offered as a substitute for the above motion the 
following resolution, which was accepted by Mr. S., and unani¬ 
mously adopted: 
Resolved, That it is the sense of this convention, that there is not, and should 
not he any conflict between farmer’s clubs and granges, and that both should 
work together in harmony.

manufacture of cheese had its origin in Oneida county, New York. 
The receipts from cheese making with him had averaged $50 per 
cow. He believed in exclusive dairying, but had not much faith
