FALLsTON FARMERS, CLUB

Owing to an oversight on the part of the Secre-
tary, this club has had two meetings that have
not been reported, and each time has met at the
homes oil those whose manner of farming may be
considered as models of neatness for others to
initiate.
The first was on May 18th, at "Brook HILL" the
home of W. s. Preston. 1t was rainy day and
several members of tine club were absent. Jos.
Hoskins was called to the chair. This farm lies
on the road from Fallston to Wateryae. 1t con-
tains about sixty acres, and, though the acreage
is small, is very productive. The President ap-
pointed James Keech, VIM, NJ. Edelin, and VIM.
u. Amos an inspection committee. After a sur
vey OF the premises, on returning to the house,
the committee reported considerable amount of
hay on hand, after feeding 10 cows 4 heifers 3
steers. . horses and colt during the winter The
growing crops looked unusually thrifty and there
was good promise for plentiful harvest. The
colt. to which allusion Is made is finely devel-
oped animal for one year old, with scarcely a
point to which the most critical horse Judge
could take exception. The report throughout
was of flattering character and was unanimous
ly adopted.
An interesting article upon the development of
animals was read and considered. The theme
treated lavoraDly upon the forcing of stock. by
Judicious feeding, to maturity. An animated dis
cusson followed, favorlng the keeping of all ami
good flesh The majority favored feeding Colts
with special view TO the development of bone
and muscle.
After an interesting interchange of views, the
club adjourned to meet at 'Dunkaie," the home
OF Joseph Hoskins, June 10th.
According to appointment tho club met at Mr..

by this committee for this farm was compliment

expend on Hartford countys public roads nearly
one thousand dollars during the last three years.
The County Commissioners have fallen into
