By adopting the principle of cooperation in the formation of the Atscciatioi , farmers, graziers, liaxmillers, and all othr-r producers who are shareholders and constituents, may sell their products and buy what farm and station requisites they severally require in the most favourable markets, and at the came time share in the profits ol the Association, which, after payment of all espense 3 , will belong to and be distributed amongst the shareholders. The Association will col.ect and supply to tbe sharebold rs agricultural and other staiistics, prompt, disinterested, and reiable information as to the state of and advantages offered by the various markets throughout the world.
