Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Glider . mem

Tuesdays Of each month, furnishes a
most entertaining place to so for an
evening.
There you win hear Of the ravages Of

for ensilage and persihage this fall Mr..
Jefferson Keeps / 600 head Of cows on his
Louisiana place, and it is said raises his
calves ON condensed milk. He loves
dearly to fool with agriculture. He
says that he is very fond Of the country
and enjoys heartily the processes OF veg
stable growth. A paper read by him at
the Buzzard's Bay Chapter. No. 682, Of
the Farmers Alliance. ON 1.-The Propasa-
tion. Growth and Decay of the Dried
Apple Among the Pie Eating Dynasties
OF the Old World" is said to have been
full OF bon mots, statistics and unusual
words
On rainy days, when Mr.. Jefferson
cannot work ON the farm, he may often
be seen in an oilskin coat digging for
angleworms. while near by you viii see
Mr.. Cleveland with an old peach can al
most filed with these delicious insects.
The two start off together, and are often
gone all day fishing in Buzzard's bay,
Buttermilk bay or some of their tribu-
taries. Trout come down into the salt
water for the shrimps and also, judge,
that often the brook trout and sea bass,
mackerel, weakish, blue6sh, etc., are
caught in the same wateys. All sorts Of
sea food, from the large, aromatic cod
fsh Of commerce TO the kppered her
ring Of Che workaday world, are found
here in the front dooFyard Of the great
comedian.
It b rather low Of course to accept Of
q mans hospitality and then speak light
ly Of his agriculture, but l must say
that those members Of the Buzzard's
Bay Fairness Alliance, Chapter S3c,
whom met, including those / have
named, and also Mr.. Booth and the
Elder Couldock. did not fool me with
their farmer talk for q single moment.
did know something about farming, 80
Ives not permitted tn Join the Alliance.
I was permitted, however, to look over
some Of the papers prepared by these
gentlemen, and say that II such men
are to WELD the balance Of power in 'S3
the underpinning Of our national fabric
will become very porous indeed.
Mr. Clevsland's paper ON ''How to Air
an Asparagus Bed" showed that the most
profound Craftsmanship may be con-
nected very often with the most pitiable
ignorance regarding farm work. People
never do have to air an asparagus bed.
Mr.. Booth. who has been visiting here
this summer. and who knows very lit
tie regarding agriculture, was admitted
by card, while was shut ont. He fol-
lowed Mr.. Cleveland's paper with . dis
cussion regarding Spring and Fall APP
plication Of Mayonnaise Dressing in the
Cultivation Of Asparagus" When people
talk that way about growing simple
garden truck and are given life MEM
bership in the Alliance, whilst one like
myself, who farmed it successfully as
long as his wife's money held out, and
who, therefore. ought to know some
thing regarding agriculture, is not per-
mitted TO join the debate, it naturally
has teods~cy TO embitter one.
