to return to warmer quarters, and, upon
resuming business, the reports OF the gem
tlemen to whom questions were referred at
a previous meeting Were next in order.
The first report was by Samuel L. Pidgeon
on the cheapest and most economical board
fence. Lis opinion was, that a No. L
board fence should be made with locust
posts morticed to receive the boards, with
a ~bracing-post in the middle to which the
boards should be securely nailed with good
fencing nails /; four boards used TO o panel,
varying from six to ten inches in width,
and from fourteen to sixteen feet in length.
Mr.. p. was of the opinion that
ali material could be bought and
the fence built at an average cost of So. rs
per panel, which would appear expensive at
the outset, but by having posts well set
and boards well seasoned, would last many
years without much repairing. The perpen-
dicular board fence was also spoken of,
but thought to be more expensive.
Daniel T. Wood was then called upon
for his report upon the following ques-
ton When is the best time to market
wheat, and why? His opinion was as soon
after harvest as possible, not interfering
with other crops. lie also believed that fire.
quently farmers would make money by
early marketing, by stopping q heavy rate
Of interest, though they were sure wheat
would be a better price; but eight times in
ten early marketing has the advantage for
several other reasons, such as shrinkage,
destruction by fire, vermin, &c.
The report of the best stock to handle
the coming season was then called up, and
David f. Shoemaker, to whom it was re-
ferred, was of the opinion that there was
more profit in sheep than any other stock
for this locality the lambs and wool in
one year paying a good per cent. on the
investment. Early lambs were thought to
command the highest price. Mr.. Shoe
maker believed that sheep were no advan-
tage to land as q general thing, but that
they would destroy much filth, briars, gar
lie, &c., and would live on land when other
stock would not.
As the day was passing, the club
thought it a proper time for the chair to
appoint three members to prepare questions
for next meeting, to wit /. Which is
the most economical fence other than
board fences +? Referred to Joel Lupton,
jr. 2. When is the best time to pillow
corn ground, and what the proper method
to prepare for planting? Referred TO
Charles i. Clevenger. 3. Which is con-
sidered the easiest running wagon, large or
small spindle /; and why? Referred to
Louis N. Hoge. The club then adjourned
to meet at D. f. ShoemakeI's, on Saturday.

TO the Editor Of the State Journal:
On Saturday, January 25th, the Mutual
Farmers Club, met at Fair View, the res

vious meeting were read and adopted. The
corresponding secretary made q satisfactory
report. lie had received from the agricul-
tural department fifty packages of garden
and other seeds, which were distributed
equally to the members of the club. A
communication was read from the commits
sioner of agriculture relative to the election
of officers Of agricultural societies, farmers
clubs, &c. Under the head of miscella-
neous subjects some of the members gave
a report of their crops of wheat for the
past year. Although the average yield per
acre was not large. the gentlemen were of
the opinion that there was q profit in the
crop.
The club was then summoned to partake
of the bountiful repast supplied by the
worthy hostess, and, as usual after dinner,
walk around the premises was next in
order. Special attention was called to a
good supply of seasoned wood, saoed
ready for stove use. The attention of the
members was then directed to the animals
belonging to the proprietor, embracing
horses, cattle, sheep and hogs, which were
all in remarkably fine condition, in view oil
the severity of the winter and scarcity Of
food.
The day being cold the club were willing
