West Michigan's Farmers Club.

The w. M. f. Club. though Of recent
growth, shows itself 10 be an active, wide
awake club. Recently it took a new DEPART
ure, one that it would be we'll for similar
clubs to pattern after. June 6, they had a
field trial of agricultural implements on a
farm near Grand Rapids. The exercises were
music, tests of implements, speeches and
dinner. Entries were open 10 all without
cost. The entries were numerous, consisting
of plows, harrows, cultiva.ors, mowers, reap
ers, self-binding haryesters, broadcast seeders.
drills, hay forks, manure spreaders, rollers.
creamers, churns, etc. IN blowing, several
prizes We're offered TO adults and TO boys
under IL, all of which were holly contested.
The prize that took the cake" was one "a
clothes wringer} for the poorest blowing.
There were only two contestants, but they
were worthy of the prize. One was the old
wooden mouldboard of 80 years ago, covered
with sheet of IRON the other, more primi-
tive, had but one handle. Though some of
the gray-headed pioneers could remember
when such plows were in existance, to the
young men present they looked like relics of
by-gone ages, and if claimed 10 have been
taken from Noah's ark. they would have
hardly dared dispute it. The tests of plow-
ing commenced at q. m, but were not con-
cluded until the following day. To give the
names and strong points Of each, and fully
enumerate al! that were there, would make
this letter too long. The attendance was
very large, surprise to all concerned. The
kalamazoo Husbandman's Club attended in
a body. And the farmers of Kent and adj
joining counties were present ejt H,0Sse. 1t
was probably one Of the largest farmers
gatherings ever held in the county. At noon
! q bountiful repast was spread for all invited
guests, and arrangements were such that
none need 60 away hungry. The test of
draft used on plows, both driving and sulky.
and on cultivators, was a dynamometer at
tached to the pillow and TO long rope run
ming through a pulley attached to stake
about 100 feet from the pillow, and then
around horse windlass. By this means a
steady. even draft was obtained and the draft
could be accurately determined. Committees
were appointed 10 examine the different arti-
cles tested. and their reports given at the
next club meeting. A large number of arti-
cles were on exhibition that were no. tested
| by the committees as the work was confined
to field trials.
The success Of this meeting was such that
another is TO be held in which reapers and
mowers will be tested.-FdrblCys Recic,r.
