An organization for the purpose OF visiting
the farms OF members, and eriticlsng the
manner in which they are conducted, and also
for general interchange OF ideas, was formed
at A. q. Glidden's, IN Antwerp, en- Friday last.
The farmers OF which this organization is COM
posed ara among the best in the county, are
men anxious to learn by every possible means
the best method to pursue with every thing
pertaining to agriculture, but this organization
is more especially to effect field crops and
domestic economy. To this end the gentle
men members visit the fields, listen to de-
tailed explanation Of the way in which It has
been cultivated, and the proposed plan for the
future, while the ladies' criticise every thing
pertaining to domestic economy from dirty
swl pals to the finest Of cake, pie, sauce, etc.,
etc. In order to make the work more effectual
and beneficial, an organization was effected
with the following officers, VIZ President,
James Bale; Vice President, 8. G. McEntee I;
Secretary, A. C. Glidden; Treasurer, Samuel
Consolas; Field and Corresponding Sec, Geo.
L. Brock Executive Committee, Robert Nor
rison, j. j. Woodman, and E. p. Mills. Com
mittees were appointed to draft articles Of
assoc citation and make preparation for future
meetings. These meetings are to be held the
first Thursday in December, March, May, and
September. Mr.. Glidden has, to-day, Sc acres
of good clover soil on this farm Of 100 acres.
Who can do better on clover? A great many
good criticisms were offered, not q little COM
mendation; good visit, and splendid supper
enjoyed. Such meeting can but result in good
to an industry in which we must depend for
advancement on experiment, and this from
practical as well as scientific men.
We wish we might say more about some OF
the points considered here, but we must stop,
only to say that in examining the different
varieties OF wheat we consider the Fultz the
most promising not only for this year but for
the future. On this point it may be interesting
to say that my experience, With " experimental
grains at the Agricultural College last year,
in which we had about two kinds OF wheat, leads
me to favor the Fultz wheat aud apprehend
that ii and not the Clawson is the coming va
riety OF wheat for US. G. (. L.

The meeting last Sabbath was pleasantly
conducted by Mrs. NJ. P. Allen, the President

year. The regular business meetings Of this
Union are held on the first Monday of each

good work among the children, having regular
meetings every alternate MondayIafternoon in
the same room, different members being ap-
pointed to take charge of the meetings. Mrs.
Richards u.s. believe,to have the oversight OF
the one next Monday p. M, and also to take
the charge OF securing persons to conduct the
gospel temperance meetings during the next
month. We earnestly hope that every one who
has any interest In, or sympathy with, the tenn

being present, each trying to see which could
sing the sweetest song. The exercises consist
ed OF music, Rotations and select reading by
the Sunday school scholars, Elder Bell making
few very instructive and entertaining remarks
at the close.

Last Sunday was observed as "children's
day" at the NJ. Z. church. There was no ser
mon, the pastor merely giving q short and in
terestlng "talk," and the other exercisesFcon-
sisted Of music and Rotations by the little
folks, who did exceedingly well. The church
was beautifully decorated with flowers and
plants. An arch composed OF evergreen and
syringa blossoms was erected over the pulpit
desk, and above that was the motto, God
bless our children" An additional attraction
was the presence Of canary bird, its warbling
notes being heard above the voices OF the
choir. At the close OF the exercises, the infant
