On motion of Mr. Yates, Mr.. w. K. Boy
wa elected an honorary member, and his
name Is before the club to be elected an ac-
tive member at the next meeting.
The report of the examining committee
was read as follows: We, the examining
committee, find the pump in need Of pro
lection from the geese; the tobacco good
for the season; corn the same, but much
damaged from want of rain, a striking H.
lustration OF mans dependence on Provi-
dence. We find but little following done
for want of rain. The barns are being re-
paired, Mr.. Abel having but recently come
in possession of the place. We find the
stock in good condition for the season; the
sheep are very fine. We find the drill in
bad condition and in need OF cleaning.
The poultry is fine. The house and sur
roundings neat with q fine net wire fence
around the garden and yard.

This was followed by quite lively dis
cussion on chemistry and the valuation d
fertilizers by Yates, Wathen and others
which lead to our subject, "Farm Econo
N.Y." upon which various ideas were ex.
pressed, with a majority Of the opinion
ave should all think of what we can dc
without, and only buy what we are obliged
to have, and never put off anything, but
give il immediate attention"
Several members had the pleasure Of O
visit TO the beautiful farm Of Mr.. George r
Pabst, TO inspect an acre of growing tobac-
CO, under which was used different chemi.
Gals and fertilizers, and in our opinion
where stable manure was used, was ths
best, and We would recommend that fertil
izer in preference.
Mr. Pahst took great pains TO show us his
farm aud how he worked IL, which wa.
quite lesson 20 some rs. We found fin.
crop Of COW pease, which he has for land
improver. We return him many thank
for his kind hospitality.
