Since you have established that air, heat,

of the prosperity of the insect, and that its

. The Advantages of an Agricultural So
ciety. What is the object of a Farmer's
Society? And what good will it do? are
questions which have been frequently put
to us, since yie establishment of such an
institution, in this place, was suggested.
It is generally known by all persons, that
its object is the promotion 'of agriculture.
but they wish to know the modus operandi
and the minutiae of the matter. They
want to learn how and in what manner
this thing is to be done. We answer it is
to be done by disseminating agricultural
knowledge, and offering premiums for the
growth or manufacture of certain articles.
The farmers will have periodical meetings,
and at those meetings it will be the duty
of each one, to make known any informa
tion or new improvements, that they may
have acquired. Persons becoming mem
