II we demand intelligence we may be sure intelli-
gence Will be Forthcoming. AS rule the higher
pritei labor is the cheapest Contracts by
the year best for both employer and en-
ployee. Where married man is employed, 10
furnish house and let him board himself is best
for both parties ] have had no experience but
am inclined to think the ten hour system could
be adopted by farmers with advantage
Mr.. Samuel M. Lee approved of training boys
as farm hands. Skilled labor on the farm is worth
double ordinary labor. The drawback of ineff-
Gent labor is one reason why we can't pay good
labor as we would wish. With the present APP
pliances man and boy can do large part Of
the labor on d 100 acre farm.
Mr.. VIM. ID. Hopkins said the location of the
farm, its condition and the kind of farming pur-
sued would regulate the amount of labor requir-
ed. With mixed farming and grazing stock two
hands would do for 100 acres or hands for 200
acres boy is also very necessary, but he must
not be expected to do mans work. The best
labor is always the cheapest.
Benz. Silver, Jr., the President. said il does not
pay 10 stint yourself in labor, but to get work
done properly and in time will pay better than to
have IL half done. Some labor is worth more
than others, and where you employ nine or ten
hands they viii give you trouble. The hand who
is worth only $40 month will be dissatisfied be-
cause you pay IA better hand more 1t is some
times economical to have cheap hands, as there
are some kinds of work they can do as well as the
more expensive hands. Hands should board
themselves There is II great deal in the manage
ment of farm labor; You should get your hands
TO like you, by kindness and politeneSs to them.
If you must reprmand Il hand, be careful not to
make him angry by continually speaking of the
and they board themselves. They are charged
for house rent, &c.
Mr.. Moores moved that committee be appoint
ed to take into consideration the feasibility of
providing some kind OF entertainment for the
ladies belonging to the households of the MEM
bers, as recognition of the labor which has de-
ments for the club. The motion was adopted and
Messrs. John Moores, Geo. Il. Silver and X. Har-
ris Archer were appointed as the committee.

WILMA FARMERS CLUB.
A Fine Farm and an EnIerprising Far
mer-Ftnger Misunderstanding stock
ENOpnhiVe Milk.

The November meeting of the wilma Farmers
Club was held on Wednesday of last week, at the
resdence of George W. McComas. AS the men,
bers began to arrive MIR. McComas's little four
year old boy became very uneasy and wanted to
know which one of them "fellers" had the club,
and who he was going to hit with it. He was f.
nally pacihed upon being assured that he would
not be harmed.
The committee of inspection was appointed and
the club in a body accompanied them in their
walk over the farm. Mr.. McComas's farm is in a
high state of cultivation, which he attributes to
the liberal use of bone. He has a thoroughly
equipped canning establishment, with all the
latest improved machinery used in the business
lie packs every year from 1000 to 1000 cases of
tomatoes, which he grows on his own farm. By
close attention to the business his goods have
gained reputation, which enables him to dis
pose of them readily to dealers in Baltimore city,
who know them. He sold his entire pack this
season to one firm in Baltimore at very salts
factory price.
Mr.. McComas is a live. energetic farmer, and
has made the business pay profit, even during
seasons when many lost money.
1t was decided at this meeting to follow the
good example of our neighbors OF the Falston
Club, by putting up finger boards at some of the
important crossings N this neighborhood. A
committee was appointed, who were instructed to
purchase the necessary lumber and have the work
done at once. Finger-boards are great conve-
would be good thing if the plan were extended
throughout the county.
Feeding Stock" was the question for discus
sion. There was general exchange of views as
to the best method of feeding and handling farm
stock. These discussions found TO be both
pleasant ana prOHtaDie, Tor you can often learn
something from your neighbor that is well worth
adopting. ! would like to give you full report
of what each member had to say, but they talk
so fast can't keep up with them.
Mr. Il. Il. Bovine gave his experience on feeding
cows. He has recently removed to the city with
his family to spend the winter and thinking it
would be nice t. have supply of good milk, took
one of his best COWS with him. He found after
paying for what she ate, his milk was costing
him about 40 cents per quart. He sent his COW
back to his farm in Hartford

the residence of Amos Il. Hoilingsworth, on

FALLSTON FARMERS CLUB.

How Can Farmers Make More Money I?
By appointment the Club met at Oakland the
home of VIM. ii. Gray, Esq, on Thursday, Nov.
10th.
Five members were absent at roll call 1t was
bleak November afternoon, which forbade
standing about whilst viewing the farm, but Mr.
Gray had so many objects of interest that kept
us moving from place to place, we had no OPP
portunity to become chilled. The farm was pur-
chased by Nr. Bowman, (father-n-law of Mr..
GrayO from DR.. Dickey, some three or four years
ago, and he has produced a marked Improvement
in its condition. The buildings have been remod-
eled and several waste places made productive.
The fields are well set in grass and afford ample
pasturage for the stock cattle that he feeds
After careful inspection, the committee APP
pointed by the President made its report. which
reflected much credit upon Mr.. Gray for his
management. Some few suggestions were made
as to the Improvement of his ice house, but as
there was considerable difference of opinion
suppose Mr.. Gray will adopt his own idea. The
subject for general discussion I'm view of West
ern competition cannot the farmers of this vicin-
ity raise products that will pay them better than
the system now pursued?' elected some DIVERSE
ty of views, but the majority of the club seemed
to think that whilst we could not abandon the
usual cereals, still it would be well to lessen the
acreage of these, and raise small fruits and such
products as cannot be transported long distances
After a few other matters were talked over the
proprety of agitating the Township system of
government was selected for discussion at our
next meeting. The club adjourned to meet at
La Vista. the home of WIN. NJ. Edelin,, ESQ.,, De-

Canned Goods, 36 and 3S s. Front st.

REMARKs.-The Canned Goods trade cannot be
called anything but dull. We are selling some
thing all the time but there Is no special life to
the business and while values do not decline to
effect sales. Tomatoes although in small supply
do not show any viRor at ruling quotations and
while there is considerable balance In the
hands of packers, it is hard work to clean up at
top prices. Corn has moved quite well at the
lower prices until within few days when de-
mand seems to have dropped of. We think the
consumption of corn and peas ahead of previous
seasons for these goods. Canned goods generally
are selling well in the retail stores.

What is Needed at the Smithsonian
Grounds.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
You will please inform your readers why the
snow is not removed promptly from the side
walks fronting on the Smithsonian grounds,
An imperative ordinance compels individuals
to have it done.
The grounds of the Smithsonian, especially
those bordering on 7th street. are 8 or inches
higher than the pavement, which is tagged
with large blocks of stones Of very uneven sur
face, which, with the border of grass on the
margin of the sidewalk adjacent to the eth
street pavement, forms a trough for the water
drained from the Smithsonian grounds to re-
main there for weeks after snow fall During
the day the pedestrians frequently take the car
track, but at night they are compelled to wade
through-unless the temperature runs low
when the water Is suddenly turned TO smooth
Ice. thereby causing great danger to limb and
life.
The Smithsonian grounds are yery inner.
fectly drained at present, but it can be accom-
plish with a comparatively small cost if the
proper authorities could be engaged ON this sub
ject.
These grounds-otherwise the largest and
most beautiful park in the city and which con-
meet the residents of South Washington with
the very center of the city-if they were i'm
proved, would bestow a blessing on thousands
OF residents OF SOUTH WASHINGTON.

committees recommendation to strike out the
clause fixing the rate on newspapers in bulk to
regular subscribers at one cent per pound buf
for sample copies one cent for four ounces, was
not acted upon. The committee recommended
