The topic for discussion at the meeting
April 18th, was "ls pressing and sell
ing hay the best method of making money
for the farmers ot this section ?"
Wiltrcd Staples, who opened the dis

ter, cheese, beef, mutton and wool He
had pressed - tons this year, and the
way stock is selling his hay paid him So
per tot to feed out. He had just sold
good pair of oxen that paid him $50 for
the hay they consumed.
Matthew Partridge said Feed the hay

thought every thing eatable should be fed
to stock Oh the farm; that in the long
run hay pays mach more when fed out
and that before hay was sold in this sec

Lyman Partridge said that if he had
large quantity Of hay he should sell some.
He thought that If he had 10 acres in
good order be could sell the hay and buy
fertilizers Of some kind, and by using half
the money the hay would bring keep the
land in good condition.
+. X Lane thought feeding hay the
most profitable. If hay would bring $50
a ton he should sell When it is less farm
ers can make more feeding it out ana
raising good stock stock that will sell
