Deer Creek Farmers, Club,

This hourishing club met at the residence of
MIR. Silas Silver, on Saturday, 9th inst. There
were present of the active members, Messrs
Ball PRESIDENT Silver, (secrelaryD Archer,
Moores, Gorrcll, Munnikhuysen, james Lee,
Webster, Glasgow, Willis, Barnes, Janney,
Lochary, w. D. Lee, Bayless and Rogers !;
Mr.. 5. NJ. Lee, honorary member, and Mr. s. j.
Whiteiord, visitor.
The question proposed for discussion was:
"How many animals and what implements are
necessary to successfully carry on a 200 acre
farm of cleared land?'
Mr.. Websterwa of the opinion that it would
take horses or mules for ordinary farm work
and extra horses for work and driving
reaper, l mower, or combined machine;
threehorse pillow, two-horse pillow, one horse
pillow. Prefers steel plows because they are
easier on horses and cut the roots better; ]
three-horse and small harrows, a roller, 3 cul-
tivators, corn drill, and if he could spare the
money would have wheat drill with fertilizer
attachment; large wagons, small Dearborn
wagon, 2 OK carts, corn shelter and wheat
fan. He thought q threshing machine would
pay large interest on the money invested in it.
Uses Kirby reaper.
Mr.. Munnikhuysen thought it depended
greatly upon where the farm was situated. If
near railroad you would require less team
Under ordinary circumstances you would need
horses or mules and one yoke of oxen. To
successfully run farm of that size, it would be
better to Craze it. Then you would require less

the working team it would take / two-horse
and three-horse harrow, two-horse and l
three-horse pillow, roller, wheat fan, wheat
drill, ] road wagon, small wagon, horse rake,
l reaper and mower. Uses Champion ma
chine.
Mr.. Gorrell said the amount of stock, &C.,
depended upon how much land a man might
want to pillow and work. If he wants to Craze
he don't want to pillow much. A man should
keep no more stock than he can handle and

yoke of oxen, or 5 COWS, 2 three-horse plows.
Don't believe in cultivators; but would use

farmers to keep threshing machines Ought 10
have combined reaper and mower. Had used
four different kinds, and ifhe had to get another
would get one like he has at present, Cayuga

Mr.. Moores.-On q 200 acre farm IS acres is
as much as should be plowed for corn in one
year. That could be done with one team of
mules in IA days lie would not have more

der Theodore Thomas's baton:
THE HYMN.
Our fathers God from out whose hand
The centuries fall like grains OF sand
We meet o.day, united, free,
And lo, al TO our land and Thee.
TO Thank Thee for the era done,
And trust Thee for the opening one.
Here, where of old by Thy design,
The fathers spake that word of Thine
Whose echo is the glad refrain,
VI rended bolt and falling chain,
To grace our festal time from ali
The zones of earth our guests we call.
Be with us whilo the New World grects
The Old World, thronging all its streets,
dwelling all the triumphs won
BY art or toll beneath the sun;
And unto common good ordain
This riyalship of hand and brain,
Thou who hast here in concord furcd
The war flags of n gathered world,
Beneath our western skies fulfill
The Orient's mission of good will
And, freighted with Loves golden fleece,
Send back the Argonouts OF peace.
For art and labor met in truce,
For beauty made the bride of use,
We thank Thee, while withal we crave
The austere virtues strong to save,
The honor proof to place or gold,
The manhood never bought or sold.
o. make Thou us, through centuries long
In peace secure, and justice strong;
Around our gift of freedom draw
The safeguards of Thy righteous law,
And cast in some diviner mold,
Let the new cycle shame the old

A SERIES OF MIsFoRTUNEs "A few weeks
since the dwelling house of Mr.. John Hood,
near Thomas's Run, was destroyed by fire.
About ten days ago his little son, ten
years old was playing in the yard with a
companion, when vicious dog belonging to
MIR. Hood suddenly sprang upon the Child,
buryng his fangs deep in the boys shoulder,
intlicting a severe wound. 1t was feared
the dog was mad and the physician who was
sent for, TO allay apprehensions, cauterized
the wound The dog was at once shot.
This is not all. On Saturday last, while
Mr. Hoods family were engaged in moving
from the temporary quarters they had taken
up after the fire, his little daughter took IL
loaded pistol out of bureau drawer and
while playing with it the weapon was dis
charged, the ball striking Miss Ella Rupert,
u relative of the family, inflcting Il severe
but not dangerous flesh wound
