Excerpt from The Country Gentleman's Magazine: A Book for the Country House; July to Dec. 1873 Do is a certain amount of jealousy with which they are regarded by those not associated with them. But why this should be the case I am at a lose to conceive, for the very object of these clubs is to improve the farmer's position, whether it be by the discus sion of the routine of farm work, the most ap proved system of farm management, or by calling attention to political or other causes which affect agriculture; and if such be the case, surely it is the bounden duty of every farmer to do his best, however humble it may be, to improve his position and also that of his fellow men. I have often heard invidious remarks made by farmers, not members of a farmers' club, on the management of those connected with a club. They forget that the very fact of belonging to a club shews a de sire for improvement, and the mere fact of individual management or mismanagement has nothing to do with the utility of farmers' clubs. Their usefulness embraces a much wider range. If Arthur Young had stayed at home and attended to his own farm, no doubt it would have been better managed, and he would have been the gainer by it; but the agricultural world would have lost the benefit of his extended observations.
