{ Minutes OF Meeting Feb. ssth. Is7A.

Society met at the usual hour in Mr..
Milliken's Office In the court houss.
In the abscense of the secretary James
II. Dole was appointed secretary pro
TEN.
Most OF the time was taken up In q
kind of rambling discussion of 4 va
riety of topics such IS gooseberries,
grapes, cabbages and others.
Geo. Waite asked what was the diff
ereace between the Early Wakefield
and the Jersey Wakefield cabbage?
No one could give positive answer,
but Dole thought that according to
Peter Henderson, the Early Wakefield
was foreign kind and the Jersey an
American. Some one suggested that
there was not so much difference Ia re-
atty as parties offering seed pretend
ed. Dole thought sixteen dollars .
pound for seed of one when the ntheF
could be got for six or seven dollars
rather too much difference.
Waite called attention to . method
l0f fastening grape and ether viaes 70

Through the vines, and thought It did
NOT iniure the vine. Miaiken agreed
that iE did not injure the vine, and
would answer every purpose and wa:
often much more convenient than ~
ing.

INTERESTING DIsCovERY

On Tuesday last, as T. e. Mcmillan
and-A. Z. Smith were engaged In dig
ging well on the premises OF the A.
T. & s. T. railroad near the junction
of the two roads, adjoining the city on
the east, and when at depth OF thirty
eight feet, came across some very large
bones in a Goicrable state Of preseya-
ton, evidently the remains of giant
mastodon. Specimens were brought
to ehe city, and excited much curiosity
and speculation. The specimen
brought to this Office was thought to
be part OF the knee joint, which, If
true, showed that that part of the an
imaI was as large as an ordinary half
-bnshel. Some of the pieces were de-
posted at the State Normal school. Il
is expected that the well will be en-
larged from its present dimensions, in
which case more perfect specimens
will be obtained.

believed the Injury was general, ant
asked IL the members present had mad
examinations and found the buds kill
ed? After some general exchange Of
opinion on the question, the whole
question was referred TO the COMMITTEES

report thereon as well "a On the condi-
ton of the fruit buds in general ST the
next meeting. An members and 9TH
ers are requested TO bring shoots with
buds to the meeting to compare and
get fnil report.
James A. Newiin said he had an APP
pie that he had cultivated for White
Winter Pearmaln and always supposed
il to be that variety until last fall,
when It was pronounced to be Mickael
Henry Pippin; and asked how TO tell
the difference. A request was made
that every one having trees of either
of these varieties bring shoots to the
next meeting to compare and deter
mine the genuine w. ". Pearmain.
The question was asked: aWhat IL
the best Kind of soil for radishes 80
MillIken said that leaf mold or coil
from the woods. Waite thought any
good new soil, such as fresh broke
prairie was good. Newlin thought the
soil ought not to be very rich or they
would run to tops too much.
Rabbits were 'cussed" and discussed
at considerable length, and various
remedies against their ravages sug-
gested. BLOOD old grease. tying with
straw and q bar rsEentives were rec
onmended and lie merits Of each dis
cussed. aIre said that they had COM
menced en-his trees before he trimmed
them, bns aifer~ard they did not |
touch the trees but went for the trim
mings and devoured them almost !
whole. Newlin said the reason they |
eat the trees is because they ara hum
CRY, and that shock of corn in IN |
orchard would Keep them from touch
Ing the trees.
The president stated that he had /
seen Prof. Chambers and that he prom
ised paper on planting apple trees
for the next meeting.

We went over to see C. z. Kelsey
this week, and he branched on on gar
den seeds OF all kinds. The result
may be found in another column Of to-
days paper in the shape of a dou BILE
column advertisement. Kelsey has
made . specially of this branch OF bus
mess for two seasons, with the happl-
est results to those who purchased of
him. "The proof of the pudding is In
chewing the bag and by tliIs rule Mr..
X. is Willing to be judged. He has not
heard single complaint from any one
to whom he sold seeds last year. They
gave, In every instance, the very best
satisfaction. He can sell at such prices
that persons will save money by buy
Ing OF HIN Instead Of sending east af-
ter them In small Quantities, as soEae
people seem to be In the habit of do
Ing. These seeds are bought Grom .re-
sponsIbIe dealers IN large quantities,
aad he can warrant them TO be good
every time.
The public, we believe, understands
that Kelsey Is still doing large gro-5
Gerry and boot and shoe trade. We
found him and his clerks as busy as
naIlOrs putting up goods, and the hap
py countenances exhibited was suf-
Hc!ent evidence that the house Is doing
~ thriving business. The stocks in the
