Farmers ting.-The farmers sew
enteenth annual meeting was held at Sandy
Spring, this county, on Tuesday last. The
attendance both OF local farmers and those
from distance was very good. On account
of disability President H. &. Hallowell was
absent, and the meeting was presided over
by Vice President b. d. Palmer, who deliv
cred a very suggestive address, in the course
of which he urged the combining of farm
ers. The ladies OF that neighborhool en-
tertained the members of the meeting with a
palatablc dinner and were voted thanks for
the same.
In the discussion of creameries it seemed
to be the sense of the meeting that it was
more profitable to sell cream direct to the
consumer.
The opinions as to the cause of the scab
on potatoes varied. Some thought it came
from manure, some from the sting OF an in
sect at the first planting, some from heavy
soil, and some thought the true cause had
not been discovered yet.
The committee on townships and taxa
ton made their report, and Mr.. b. Ii. Miller
for the committee, offered the following res
olution, which was adopted: That the roads
OF our county would eventually be more
thoroughly worked and our people would
receive better return for the outlay upon
them il a portion of the money expended
were devoted to ordinary repairs, and the
larger part used in permanent repairs upon
the county roads in proportion To their i'm
