W as5iand Farmers Club.

Westiand Farmers Club met at
its rooms October 2SIh, 1871, Pres
Ident HalIowell presiding. After
the reading of the minutes of the
previous meeting and d~ispo>ing OF
some miscellane Gus business. the
question for discussion was brought
up: What Is the best mode for
farmers to pnrsue 10 realize the
greatest income? The question
was opened by Eli Shields, If
Marion tip, who argued that the
proper course to pursue was to cul-
tivate a little Of everything that
was commonly raised on a farm.
Jacob Bingham, of Penn tp., in his
arguments pursued n similar course.
Taylor Strobe, of Marion tp., ar.
gued that tobacco had made the
farmers more money than any one
article of farm products, but thinks
that the proper way Is 10 raise a
variety of products, and, as for
stock, keep a little of all kinds and
always have some ready for mar
ket. Joseph Mendenhall. of Penn
tp,, thought that raising gram for
market at present prices of gram
and labor is an uphill business, and
that some other mode would have
10 be pursued to make the farm
pay. Norman Hart, of Penn tp.,
argued that raising grain for the
market would not pay; but that to-

bacco had never failed to pay him
for his labor and TO leave HIM an
income besides; but he also thinks
it would be bad policy TO make the
raising Of the weed a general crop.
William Strcde, Of Penn tp., COM
Cured IN the opinion expressed by
MIR. Hart that tobacco is a paying
crop, and he thinks that sweet pos
tatoes pay well. but that common
cattle and hogs 60 not pay exFens-
es; also that good sheep and good
horses would probably pay hetler
than any other stock. David Ken
nard, o. Penn tp., is not much Of a
farmer, but had observed that good
stock IN good condition would al
ways fetch a good price. Lewis
Bingham. of Penn Up. thinks that
the proper mode for farmers TO
pursue Is 20 raise a little OF every
thing. Joel King, Of Marion tp.,
thinks that sweet potatoes and to-
bacco will pay the best of any crops
that are raised at this time; hogs.
with nm, will not pay expenses.
james H. Kinsey, of Marion tip
thinks it bad policy TO iuau9urate
the plan of filling u hill lands
mucn IN sweet potatoes and totac-
co, as the washing of the ground
would soon so %ImpoverIsh it as to
mako 1t hecOme utterly worthless.
He thinks the proper method Is to
Craze sheep. OF other stock, on if,
NJ the same time doing the necessa-
~ blowing TO kept well set in
grass; also that those engaged IN
farming on the low lands could far
out-strip JUS IN the raising of gram
and e~eriais, and by proper rotation
of crops keep up The fertility of the
soil, and still by proper economy
make it pay. President nallow-
ell, of Penn tip, thinks that raising
sheep and wool will pay best; thinks
that sheep may be kept at the rate
Of seven to an acre. Eli Shields, of
Marion tp has made more money
from raising wheat, ~cloversecd. ami
hogs than any other articles, has
always had good luck IN horses and
thinks horses and sheep the best
stock from which to make money.
The President here remarked that
Mr.. Shields luck ~ horses vas his
loss as he had bought Il colt of Mr..
Shields for fifty dollars and had
KEPT the colt thrre years for twe'I-
ty-f7e dollars. Joseph McndenhaIl
read an article from tie monthly
reports TO show that good stock
would sell at paying prices.
Here Mr.. Strobe took tho President
10 task for intimating that sheep
could be raised at the rate of seven
per acre. He thought that when
Winter would come they would not
do well. James II. KInsey argued
that from his experience or fourteen
years that with proper care and at
tention FIVE sheep could be kept to
an acre of grass land the year
rOund. lie also read an article
from the Ohio Farmer to show what
other people had done. The Pres
idont here made some explanation
