HALIFAX.



The Farmers club met last Saturday
with Emerson Thurber according to APP
pointment The weather was unfavorable
and the travelling bad, making the attend
ance small, but good interest was shown.
w. G. Niles was elected chairman The
question for discussion, GLOW and when
to use fertilizer to get the best results"
was ably discussed by all present. All
agreed as TO the method of application,
spreading on and blowing under on dry
land, but narrowing in on wet or moist
land, thoroughly pulverizing in both cases.
Mr.. Powers favored spreading the fertilizer
in the fall for corn, but thought one would
get a better catch of grass by applying it in
the spring. Mr. Powers takes pride in
having a good field of corn, and is among
our best farmers. Mr.. Barber gets the
best results by spreading in the spring and
blowing under as soon as possible, and his
advice is worthy of note. w. +. Thurber,
still another of our good farmers who al
ways has good crops, has land which is nat
urally moist. He would use the fertilizer
on the top and harrow or pulverize into
the soil. Mr.. Woodland usually applies in
the spring and plows under. The concu-
sion was that a good coating of fertilizer
and plenty of hard work will bring good
results in all cases. The meeting adjourned
to meet with w. G. Niles Tuesday, Nov.
20, at 10 A. NJ. An invitation is extended
to all. The road question will be discussed.

EX-Congressman Whiting has written an
article on the paper making industry in
Holyoke for publication in the Souvenir
number of the Democrat Mr.. Whiting
believes with Edward Everett that Hoi-
yoke's industries will keep on increasing
until the city has population of 100000.
Summing up the paper industry of Hol-
yoke, Mr.. Whiting says: "There are 10
corporations making about $50 tons per
day, or more than 10000 tons per year, the
value of which is Sl2,000,00O, all of supe-
rior quality. There is no city in the world
where there is so large an output, and it is
doubtful if Holyoke will ever have rival
in this respect. The reason for this is that
the quality of the water for washing and
bleaching rags here is superior to that of
any other large stream"
