ADDRESS
OP
Dr. A. G, STEVENSON,
AI THE
Montgomery County Fair,
September 16th, 1858.
I shall not attempt to instruct you
to-day upon the different modes of agriculture, or upon any particular mode.
These questions are being constantly-
discussed by the agricultural press, and
any thing that I could say would be but
repeating what is uttered every day.
For the purpose of answering in some
sort the object of our invitation her&
to-day, we will, in the first place, invite
you to consider the necessity of labor.
The earth is given to man as a plaee
of abode, and the first great necessity
that presses itself is to provide food and
protection against the vicissitudes of the
climate. There is no natural provision
made anywhere for man's subsistance
without labor. In the most favored climate it is necessary for man to gather
the fruit that constitutes his food. And
no where is he secure without somo sort
of sheltor or dwelling as a means of
protection. Kaiment is also indispensable and must be provided. Food, and
raiment, and shelter arc essentials, making imperious demands that must be
supplied. " I have given you every
3*25 j herb bearing seed, whieh is upon the
f'm face of all the earth, and every tree, in
