and as it passed down the road Jackson
put bullet from his revolver through
its body killing it almost instantly.
A warrant was placed in the hands OF
Constable j. D. White, and he, ac-
companied by Officer j. M. Creswell,
went to Craigtown, where Iackson'

A. R. Magraw moved that the custom

which was objected to by -Nr. Bond
who wished to hear and profit by any
suggestions that members might feel
called upon to make. Members who
had known the place for many years
all agreed in the opinion that it had
undergone very marked improvement
under MIR. Bonds methodical man
agement. MIR. Tome had been ac-
uuainted with the farm for 53 years,
and the present proprietor since his
boyhood, and that both the farm and
it's proprietor had steadily improved
as the years rolled by. w. w. Moore

many of those early days. endorsed
all that Mr.. Tome said. DR.. Brom-
we'll remarked facet'ously that he
objected to Mr.. Bones mode Of dis
posing of trees that were to be got
out of the way, which was cutting
them off and leaving high stumps,
but Mr.. BoLd said that the stumps
referred to had been left by his pred
dcessors and he had lifted a number
of them out with dynimite, which
cost 10 to 20 cents stump.
M. Bond inquired ''what is the best
way to fertilize for corn?" Mr..
Duyckink. advised to put the manure
on the surface and turn under with a

practice is general at present among

Unfinished business called for; none
reported. Experiments called for;
none had been made. Mr.. II. II.
Duyckinck was called on to make a
report as a delegate from the Club to
the Farmers Association of Mary
land which met in Baltimore in Feb
ruary last. Mr.. Duyckinck made a
verbal statement to the Club, remark
ing that the members we're all famil
lar with the proceedings Of that con-
vention through the reports given at
the time by the papers. Their dele
gate had very enjoyable experience
at the convention, where the Agricul
tural College, and proposed Expert
mental Station had occupied prom
inent part in the proceedings. This
led to desutory conversation among
the members of the Club. The ex-
pense incurred in attending the con-
vention amounted to $500 which, on
motion of MIR. Il. C. Bond, the Treas
urer, W. w. Moore, was ordered to
pay.
Members had no experiments to
report, and the President suggested
that the present would be proper
time to select subjects on which to
make future experiments.

some experiments with broom corn

being : feet apart in the rows, plant
2 pieces of potatoes to each hill and
place a shovel ful of ma
nure on each hill. He
had seen the finest crops of potatoes
raised by this system of culture.
MIR. Bond had followed manuring in
the row formerly and made about 70
bushels to the acre, but latterly had
practiced broad casting the manure
on the ground and blowing it in,
which method produced much the
finer crops. Mr.. Mccullough relat.
ed the practice Of r. c. Bell who
planted the potatoes and spread the
manure on top which produced very
satisfactory results. Mr.. Noyes had
applied ashes to his potatoes last
season with good results. He thought
light sandy loam the best soil for po-
tatoes.

Duyckinck thought that more de-
pended upon the ground receiving
the benefit of q thorough, good rain
exactly at the proper time after the
seed was planted, than on the text
ure of the soil, to insure a paying
crop. The host Mr.. Bond was called
! on for an essay, and stated he had
followed the prevalent, but question
able practice of presenting an ex-
cuse, in lieu of the essay, but that
he had selected an article published
in the Fwm Journal which he read
for the edifcation of the Club. This
rccounted the experience of a ''gent-
leman farmer" entitled High farmer
at Elmwood' who farmed more for
pleasure than profit, which practice
did not strike the members as the
most desirable to initiate.
Mr.. Tome has several farms which
he manages through croppers. but
could not make them pay more than
per cent on the investment. Mr..
Bond has his farm worked on the
same system and could make more
from it than by working it himself.
Mr.. Moore thought that Messrs. Tome
and Bond were very painstaking
men and kept accurate accounts, and
could tell more about the profits of
the business than men who are sup
posed to have received practical
training to the business of farming.

The NEST important act of the

emption, timber culture and desert
land law. Like action will probably
be taken in the Senate, and, with the
approval of the. President, the meas
ure will go into immediate effect.
But existing entries upon the present
land laws will not be disturbed by the
