STATE CONVENTION—SUGGESTIONS.

and enterprise cannot be found, two or more should unite in the 
purchase of a thoroughbred bull. 
Others should provide the thorough-bred stallion the Perch- 
eron, the Norman, the Clydesdale, the Morgan or the thorough¬ 
bred running horse. Others again, should introduce the pure 
bred Merinos or Cotswolds, or other valuable and popular pure 
bred sheep, and others the pure and improved breeds of pigs. 
When this is done, the farmer of small means, if he takes and 
reads an agricultural paper, can commence at the bottom round 
of the ladder and gradually go up, with an outlay not beyond his 
means, a profit reasonably satisfactory and to the ultimate benefit 
of himself and family, and the better do his share in the manage¬ 
ment of matters of public interest, and his part towards the up¬ 
ward and onward progress of the age. 
When that time comes, as it will sooner or later, it will not be 
necessary to form secret associations to protect the interest of the 
farmer. Then he will understand better wherein his interest lies, 
will be able and willing to look after his own welfare, and at the 
same time do his part in the general management, which he now 
very much neglects, for the good and well being of his own and 
all other classes. 
Then he will come to the front, take his share in the manage¬ 
ment of the government, state and national, and in connection 
with the good men of other callings, through th z primary meetings 
and the ballot box , the only true way to correct wrongs against the 
farmer and against all other classes of the people ; send to the 
legislature and to the halls of congress, men who will look after 
the interests of the people, all of the people, without regard to 
occupation. 
This paper was well received. It contained many facts and 
suggestions which the reader will find to his advantage, especially 
if stock raising is his pursuit.
