logs, aud thought il more would attend
them, still greater satisfaction might be
derived.
Mr.. Pierce remarked that much had
been said about farmers exercising their
minds, said he had exercised has TO the
best OF his ability that he might learn ii
possible, how to make his farm furnish
subsistence, under the present condition
of affairs. Was sarisfed that our meet
iugs bid fair to be successful, though we
could not expect to call out all of our
farmers at every meeting. Was certain
It had paid him to be constant attend
ant and others to attend occasionally.
Mr.. Willard though not farmer,
said he had been member of the club
for several years and was sure he had
been benefited in social point of view,
if in no other way, and that was of no
small account Thought if people would
look less to The pecuniary benefitand more
to the social they would set higher es-
innate upon the value of the meetings.
The Rev. Mr.. Barnard being invited
to speak, remarked that though he was
not farmer, had always felt interested
in the business, and was gratified to learn
that he was pleasantly located in an in
teresting, intelligent and enterprising
community, and thought any casual OBJ
server might see that men in any occu-
potion could be benefited by coming to-
gether and making suggestions and plans
in regard to their business.
1t was not money that was denounced
as the root of all evil, but the love OF it,
and could therefore see no improperly
in discussing the economical principles
of farming.
Farmers desire TO labor intelligently
as well as men in any other occupation
and with the motives presented at suct
meetings as the one he was addressing
could see no reason why they were no
, in every way beneficial not only to thu
} members present, but to the public gen
t erally,-the young especially.
Mr.. Pierce remarked that he had beer
. gralifed to notice in reports from West
ern farmers, that they were recommend
/ ing young men to come East, thus
e strengthening bis belief that New Eng
= land farming was soon to be more
, profitable occupation.
D Mr.. Wright said he was firm frienC
] to the club and firm believer in it
: success, but thought it advisable to max,
: the discussions shorter and thus afforC
l more time for good time with tn,
J ladies.
, Prof Ward expressed his appreciation
: of the club, and his thanks toward thos,
who had furnished him reports from
i time to time, thought it certainly advisa
3 BILE to continue. Mr.. Kimball though
r it unnecessary for him to express his ap
' probation of the meetings. He ha,
= done what he could to sustain them an,
4 purposed to do so in the future. Eel
: sure we had adoptedA better method Q
farming by comparing methods, that W
had not only been benefited in poke
. but in social point of view. That a
:. that was necessary to make the meeting
b profitable was a disposition on the PAL
. of all to take hold and help move tn

- made by different individuals but the
Is only served to second the above and W
omit them.
