DORCHESTER PALMER/3' CLUB.
We are gratified to learn that the meeting of the
Farmer's Club, lag Saturday ensuing—the first held
wriresely—was • great succor. Between thirty and
forty were prevent, and the diagagon was freely taken
part in by the members.
Throughout the last session, it will he remembered,
the paucity of the attendance wafts matter of fn-guens
complaint, and, upon investigation, it wined that some
of the members were content to read the proceeding.
as reported in the newspapers, and others shrank from
participating in the discussions from diffidence as to
the value of their epinitos and of the gooney of their
experience for publication to the world. Theme circuru-
stances lessened the usefulness of the club, and the
°Sierra gave considerable attention to the question how
beet they might imprLve its meetings. plots on the
subject were gladly received from all bacing suggestions
to offer, and the representatives of the Prow, who had

attended the club meetings for Mere, were asked their
opinion on the matter. For month. the %nation was
considered in all its bearings, and, at the October
meeting. u our readers are swore, it was rewire with
the approval of all Fattties, W try the effect of bolding
the club meetinz, resell. We refer to this subject
now, Mime the whole affair bee been singularly oils-
understood by two of the London payers—the Mart•
Lane Express and the Cdaaslicr of Affrictrifitra
They inconsiderately attributed to the club a desire to
stifle diocussion,wheresa the feet is the club, reoognidog
the fact that out of the conflict of opinion and ex-
perience the truth Is to be obtained, adopticil the
course they believed to be most conducive to
that end. The result of last Saturday's meet-
ing amply justifies them. It has heroine
too much the fashion with our distant contempo-
raries, to take anything concerning ope.,e,
fair genie for condemnation, but, at any rate. agricol-
torsi papers ought to know to tter. Thou who live in
Dorset know that there is so much skill, as mush en-
terprise, soil as much generous action amongst the
agriculturists here as with these of any Dowdy In the

kingdom.
Saturday's meeting was presided over by Mr. J.
Homer, the Chairman for the year, and Mr. It. Genge,
the VioePresident, was in his plaes as usual. As we
have said, nearly forty members were remit.
The first bosines• was to oon.ider how they should

the work was entrusted to Mr. Allred Atkins, of Dor-

The' Best mode of grasing Cattle and Sheep on arti-

anew. The lecturer opened with an encouraging hint to
• .h, am the twrannal twairifit tleri•ad
from the study of • subject for introdttotion at the club,
and proceeded to !emetic that this district is much
better adapted for breeding than erasing, yet, as most
of them were in the habit of fattening come of their
draught stock, the sulijeat of winter imagine became •
very fitting one for discussion. He did not think there
was any great profit attached to grazing, end especially
with bullocks ; but, as they bad their produce to eon.
vert into money, tbst misht sometimes be the more
convenient mode of doing It, while they knew that the
more cake or corn there was oonsumed upon the
land, the more it was improved for • corn crop.
Apart from that influence, he did not think stock
would leave • profit after deducting all expenses; and
therefore he held that all moderately goof arable lar.d
should be c repeal with corn on the average of every
or her year let its price be what it may—never, probably,
very high again, °ince partly to the Influence of Free
Trade, and to the large quantity which can now be
brought from &brood. But, having half the land to corn,
the other portion should carry as much stock as possible
throughout the year. The degree of profit to be obtained
from grazing would depend on the method purooed. He
advised beginning wiih moderately expensive food and
gradually increasing it to • certain point, in preference
to high feeding for • shorter time; and an animal of
full growth would give a better result than • younger
one no treated. Proper shelter and warmth were highly
Important, and he ecinsidereil great advantage would
mho from providing sheds for sheep grating in the open
field. It. pest urged the ni cessity of regular atten lance
and as little variation as practicable in the quantity an.l
time of giving food. To ensure this good stockmen were
required, and he min lined instances of great loss
baying occurred through want of proper attention. As
to feeding stalls be remarked that • help° for
tea bullock' ididy to . attain 40 score each,
should be 5o feet long and 16 feet wide ;
for dairy or other lean stock less would suffice. Be-
ginning in November swedes might be given fora week
or two, or, failing them, common turnip, or cabbage .
For the first few days only half the ordinary allowance
should be given. Abut one e•t, of to ti was • full
quantity for a large bullock. Calculeting that they
contained 90 per cent, of water, would give about 10
gallons taken into the system. Mengel., after they
have been stored for a month, might be given, but he
rather thought it economy to reserve them till the
Bering. The time for giving roots should be alter the
cake or coin had been consumed in the morning. as be
considered the beasts would get most nutriment from
their solid food wl.en the stoluseh was comperatively
empty. He found miimals to prefer roots *hoed mode.
rately large, but he thought pulping might effect a
saving when it was done in order to mix in other food.
Giving hay, he considered, grateful, when rich feeding
stuffs were liberally employed : he perferred giving
some good straw, either of wheat or oats, both of which
he preferred to that of barley. Rape cake, with an
admixture of cotton °eke sufficient to make the auitnal
feed well, he had found to answer satisfactorily. especi.
when it was first introduced ; btl" now, when the de.
mend and mice of rape cake have increti.sed, he thought
linseed cake the most advantageous. Rope cake was
now le 10s. pew ton againot f:l2 I- r linseed coke, while
wheat made 1:9 10; per ton, barley a little lea., and
been" £lO. He had used rape cake almost esclusively
fue several yearS, but would now dispense with it, and
take linseed cake. These ri muks would apply equally
to the food which might be given with treader ar Inas
advantage to she. p. lie then quoted two experiments.
Ten sheep were fed eisht weeks, from Iseestuber 26 to
Februsey 20, on llb each per day of Sneed cake with
other food ; and ten other sheep had 1111.. of •bent
meal and jib. of oottonotke. The result was, those fed
on linseed gaineu 211 lb live weight, and the others
nearly 211 b. The linesesd at present price would cost
and the wheat ;neat and cotton cake Ts. Of. Bat
that experiment lost mull of ha value from the fact
that wheat meal wee net • lesimble food to continue
for sheet, Another experiment was the giving of Ilb.
if linseed cake to ton sheep for eight week* in February
and March, when they gained 2311,. This, he argued,
showed how slow cattle are to improve In the dead
winter months. In • mild season sheep might be grazel
in the field during the autumn and early winter, but
alter wards it wan clearable to construct tempsrary yards
or remove them to more convenient shelter. letting the
roots follow them. In conclusion he expressed a con.
fident opinion that in the matter of grazing stook they
had little to feat from foreign competition.
An interesting &Kunio° followed on the relative
values of the different kinds of artificial food, and con'
renting house accommodation for stock. Iron sheds
were recommended. bat Mr. Saunders thought the
expense woold be too great. The Preaident bore testi-
mony to tbe utility of sheltered yards for sheep, in
saving valuable manure, whereas in the field it often
became washed away without leaving any perceptible
influence. Mr. Roe, veterinary surgeon, recommended
the use of a little salt with the food of 'dock, as pro.
meting digestion. Mr. Saunders supported this state-
ment, and, in hie concluding remarks, he pointed out
that auinnals they were fattening should be stalled in •
darkened house, that • little light should be admitted
while they are being fed—a proaiu which should be
effected ae quickly as possible, and that then they
ought to be left in quiet to feed.
Mr. T. C. Sarnlvtlid was thanked for his paper, and •
very agreeable and suoseedul meeting wile brought to •
close.

The CHAIRMAN proposed the loyal and patriotio
toast&
'Aptain LtyorlsT returned thanks for the navy, Mr.
D. W. Deland., surgeon to the Blandford troop of
0.R.Y.C., for the Yeomanry, and Sergeant Gann
for the volunteers.
The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, said they
were very ples.ed indeed to have with them the rector
of the parish—(loud applause). Since they met het
year the chief pastor of the diocese had 1i,.!, and
another was appointed. He belitved that appointment
had given general satidection in this part of the diocese,
and he trusted that be would be spared many year., and
be beloved by all, fie propos tl the health of the
Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese.
The Rev. J. 11. Quiet: Nab" with respect to their new
111-hoo he was sure they would all join with him in
to artily wishing bim ..very sueoese. His appointment
was one of great responsibility and his influemee for
good or evil no one could estimate. He belb veil that
mfluence would be for good. lie thanked them for
lb. ir kind expit 'dont towards himself.
The health of tie Motor and Corporation of Bland-
fonliwat then proposed by the CHAIIHIAN, who said that
he was extrenilv pirated to IN-. CC/ many of the Corpora.
Mon pre•ent. It slit.weil that they were sensible .4 Hes
value of agriculture, and no doubt they felt that w th
that sueeese theirs wan intimately j used. The
club were evecially thankful to them for giving two
prizes for competition.
The Mae.% in reply, sauteed them they needed all
their assistance with reelect to the market, as their
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Darden, showed
them at tacit le-• meeting a somewhat tow, loslaoac.
on the wrong sido, and this, if not met by increased 1
tolls, would have to come out of the pockets of the i
ratepayers.
Mr. 11. Fookra proposed the health of the Chair- ,
man, %eying many present had known him for some I
yeoman,' he felt sure they would agree with him Oath,
Mr. Forrester) endeavoured ,to the utmost of his ability.
to do what was right between the noble lord atd his
tenants on the Deyenstone estate—(hear, hear).
Tne Cliataa.an said that whilst moat heartily thank-
ing Mr. Fools and the company, he felt that he was
not deserving of one-twentieth part of snub praise.
When he sicoepted the office of chairmen last year,lte did
so with the greatestdiffidence, fearing that the duties he
was called upon ti fulfil elsewhere would prevent his
doing justice to the club. He bad to thank several gentle-
men for their kind sasistaeoe during the poet year,
end e-penally Mr. C. Eyers, the en cretary, who had no
ably and so willingly worked with him. He had also
to thank those gentlemen who had brought forward
subjects during the season, and was gratified in being
able to say that they had not experienced the same
difficulty as their Doran...ter friends, in small attends
ances, for at their last meeting between AO and 40 were
pterent, which was • large number for them. The most
xratifying feature, however, of his term of office had
teen the increate of members. Hs believed they had
enrolled la during the year, and theme included two or
three professional gentlemen of the town. awl intelligent
young farmers of the mighbourhood. He believed that
much good bad arisen from interchange of thought and
Uoling through their meetings. Some expressed • fear ,
when •Caamber of Agriculture was formed at Dorches-
ter that their little club would fall, but he was of quite
• ditferent opinion, for while the Chamber of Agricul-
ture could be well employed in the oonsidera,lon and
diicussien f matters relating to the welfare of the
general body, practical and local questions were best
fitted for discussion at Farman' Clubs—Omar, hear.)
The health of the Judges waa then proposed by Mr.
J. Kamm, who expressed his regret that more entros
bad not been made, and remarked that if farmers in
in tie neighbourhood would but chow the best thew
bad, he believed they could have • very excellent show
in Blander& He did no. and though when he saw Mr.
Foam's and Mr. Ford's sheep he knew he had no
chance, yet he did not regret entering hi.—(hear hear.)
Mr. Amis. of Tisbury, returned thanks its one of
the judges. They had not had • Large show, conse-
quently the duty of the judges had not been heavy.
Some at the animals exhibited were very good, but
their were some also inferior. There was one good rule
he considered in the (dub, that the prizes were given

in money.
Mr. HARDING, of Newbury, also responded as one of
the judges, and o:pleased his opinion that the show had
not been quite so good as some he had attended. There
hail been some good and some indifferent animals ex-
hibited. and this, he thought, was a good thing for the
younger members of the club, who could contrast
the two.
The prises were then distributed, after which
The (Joalutow promised the health of the exhibitors
of stock, coupled with the name of Mr. J. Ford.
Mr. FORD, in responding, after thanking the company
for the cordial way they had drunk his health, soil that
he bad been told that he kept his young stock too well,
but be was of a very different opinion, for he believed
that young stock could not be kept too well. He •
remembered when be was • young man that a man in
• his father's employ told him that a rick of hey which
I was slightly damaged would du for the young stock, hut
I when he told his father of it, he said " Give that hay
to the old stock, and the beet food to the young." And
he (Me. Ford) had found that to be good advice. He
was very ph aced to find that the South Dowus wore
well represented. Ile could remember the time when
it was said they must bare a better and stronger sort of
sheep than the South Down, and the improved Illainte
shire Down had ootiaidorably improved during the last
20 years, but if they wanted quality and • good animal
for the butcher, nothing would beat a good South Down
—(hear. hear).
Mr. V. B. Warts proposed the health of the donors
of prizes, Lord Portinso, Mr. Portman, Mr. stuit,
. Miller and Johnson, Mr. Groves, and others.
Mr JOHNSON having mitahly responded,
Mr FoWLER propisied the health of the newlvolecteil
preshient, Mr. Scutt, and alluding to the obeerrations
made by a previous speaker with respect to the
Chamber of Agriculture, said it might not he out if
plasm for him to ein that though he belonged to that
society, he still felt great inter... In the wee. of
Farmer.' Clubs, helievieg, as he did, that there was
plenty of room for all such societies, and he believed it
was their duty, and to their interest, as farmers, to
maintain suehiclubs in an efficient state. There were
questions argued at the meetings of farmer" clubs widen
could not be brought before ilhauibers of Agriculture.
He might also say that though very little might be
known of the operations of the Chamber of Agriculture
in that neighbourhood. yet they were quietly end
steadily at work, and he expected that in the course of
a few weeks a large meeting would he held in Bristol.
' He saw in the /Jolly Nears a copy of the report by Mr.
, Stanhope, one of His Commissioner'', who bad eiaitisi
the county of Hemet, and he considered that the report
would have to be taken into consideration by every club
• in the county. and he tru•ded that when it was eon-
; eidered, the representatives of the public press would
! not be shut out, for he believed that no society could
possibly succeed without the assistance of the Public
prees—lhear,hear). It was with very great pleasure that be
proposed sue.ss to the Blandford Farmers' Club,conpled
• with the name of Mr. Hewitt, the president elect for the
r. ensuing year. He trusted that the members would rally
round him and well support him, and that their meetings
would be always well attended.
- The health of Mr. Scutt haring been drunk, the.
gentleman et first respectfully declined the honour
conferred upon him, but after some persuasion h
acquiesced.
The CUADIMAN then pve the health of Mr. C. Ern,
