This will stimu- late thein to raise stock, rootsand grain and other products Of the farm, to compare with those they have seen, and will .at once create a spirit of com- petition; which will in its time, greatly tend to improve the stock and also the cultivation of the soil, Nor is the farm the only place to which this will' apply ; it will also improve all sorts of manufacture and machinery., Every wanufactlxrer will do his best to turn out a machine which will suit the wants of the people, better than those of his rivals. Again those gatherings improve the people socially—by this means the farming ceinninnity, will be- come acquainted. It also will be an intellectual improvement.
