SOUTH COVENTRY.


 The Union Go. Standard of Westfeld (N, J.) says: The address of Thomas B. Porter, of the firm of Thomas D. Porter & Co.,, New York Produce Exchange, was the chief feature of the meeting of farmers in Westfeld last Saturday evening. What MT. Porter does not know about farming, and especially dairy farming, is hardly worth knowing. He knows how to tell it, too. Whether it is his superior knowl- edge or his rare gift of expressing him. self, his discourse at Westfeld was thought by some to be more interesting and in- structive than any effort of the kind in the Horace Greeley series on "What l Know About Farming The attendance was not large, but more than twenty five per cent. of the amount necessary to build and equip creamery in Westfeld was guaranteed on the spot Other remarks were made by MT. Goodwin of Connecticut The fact that MT. Porter has one of the finest herds of Guernsey COWS to be found in the state of Connecticut and the most complete barn to be found in his native town, has been communicated to us since Saturday. We understand MT. Porter visits in Westfeld often, and we hope he will talk often to our farmers.
