other roots. He thought it would be
good way for persons who keep stock to
raise quantity of these beets, and then
have pulping machine. This is the plan
now in vogue in France, and it was found
to prove very beneficial to the stock.
Mr.. Kurtz thought if he could ascertain
how many tons Of roots cow would need
in winter, We could then come to some
estimate Of the advantage.
DR.. Greene thought cattle required
variety of food, just the same as man does.
They require large variety Of food. He
thought root crops were certainly good for
cows.
w. 4. Brosius, to whom had been re-
ferred the question ''D Does it pay to cut
fodder for stock % said he had not much
experience. He tried cutting the fodder
for a while and he came to the opinion that
it surely does pay and pay largely. Dur
ing the present winter he cut for about
nineteen head of steers, and with very lit
tie trouble had them in good condition for
the market.
Mr.. Kurt had fed a good many cattle,
and had given them great deal of cut
fodder and found the cattle to improve in
condition. He thought the cutting Of fod-
der was great advantage in every re-
spect.
Mr. Rush approved the cutting of corn
fodder, were it not for the extra expense of
cutting. He thought chaff would answer
the same purpose, with certainly a saving
of time and money. He had tried chatl
for several years and found the same re-
suits.
Mr.. McComsey's experience i'll the cut
ting of corn fodder for stock led him to the
conclusion that it was equal to double the
quantity ofuncut fodder.
Mr.. Linville thought it should be cut
very short, there was no advantage to be
gained in steaming it.
DR.. Greene was of the opinion that the
shorter the fodder was cut the better
would be the results obtained. COrnstalks
contain large proportion of sugar, and
this is a property of great value in the pro-
duction of blood.

The accounts of the former treasurer

whose duty it will to audit them. The

A committee of three, Professor S. S.
RathvOn chairman, was appointed to cx-
press the sense of the society in the death
of the late member, Mr.. Jacob StaufTer.
The committee consisted of DR.. S. S. Ratt.
Won, Simon P. Eby, esq, and II. NJ.

WHEREAS. 1t has pleased God to re,
move from the material plane of life oul
late fellow member, Mr.. Jacob Stauiier-
| for many years the botanist and chenlis:
| of this society and whose removal is an
| irreparable loss, not only to this society,
his family, and this county, but also to the
| state of Pennsylvania at large therefore,
ResolUed, That in the death of Mr..
Stautfer, agriculture, horticulture, botany,
and their correlative occupations, as well as
the community in general, are deprived OF
the services of an efficient and cheerful
co-laborer, a friend OF social progress, and
sympathizer in all that relates to human
welfare.
Resolred, That while VIC submit with
human resignation to the wisdom of Hin
"in whom we live and move and have Oul
being" yet in human weakness we cannot
but feel regret that social relations between
us and our departed member have been SO
suddenly severed, and that on this earth
we shall meet him no more.
Resolred, That in the removal OF Mr..
Staufler this society has lost a distinguished
patron, the community useful fellow
citizen, science an industrious cO-laborer,
and his family kind parent and friend.
Resolred, That we are in unfeigned sym
! pathy with ali those sentiments of bereave-
| ment which have been so feelingly express
| ed by the community and other assocja-
| tiOns to which our late fellow member be-
longed.
Resolred, That we condole with his fam
| lily and friends, but not as those who
mourn without hope - that these senti-
ments be recorded in the proceedings of
of the society, and that copies be sent to
the members of his family.

The. president said as the bylaws now
stand, the board of managers have en-
tirely too much responsibility upon their
hands, which they do not like very much.
He thought it would be good idea to
follow the idea of the York county society,
who place the officers of the society upon
the board.
Mr.. Linville moved that the bylaws be
so amended as to include the officers OF
the society in the board of managers. The
amendment will lie over until next meet
ing.
The following questions were offered :
"Should potatoes be cut into small pieces
for planting p Referred to II. NJ. Engle
"Should large or small potatoes be select
ed for planting? ?' Referred to William
McComsey. "Is hill planting Or drilling
preferable in corn:'' referred to ii. G..
Rush.
There being no further business, the So
ciety adjourned.
