Was That of the County HOrti-
cultural Society.
THE TEETER'S HOME

People Bent on Good Time While
Searching for Knowlcdge-The Meet
ing In Its Entirety.
The cold chill that settled upon the
weather on wednesday, November 90,
prevented the large attendance mt the
society which has characterized the meet
ings in the east end of the county hereto
fore, but despite the cold wave, those who
got to the meeting were each surprised to
find so many Others there.
Two long tables, accom- odating about
fifty hungry rdeneIs, were soon sur
rounded, when "Mine Host j. W. Teet-
ers announced dinner ready
After the dinner hour pleasantly spent
in social and festive pleasure, at about
1870 m. the secretary called the meet
ing to order and announced that as both
president and vice. president were absent
he would name W. L. Nash to fill the va
ancy.
Mr.. Nash cane forward thanked the
members for the honor conferred upon
him and at once took up the order of bus
iness.
Minutes of previous meeting were read
and approved.
Eli Grant was appointed to collect
membership fees.

turist TO attend the meeting Of the state

QUERY DRAWER.
Mr.. Autfather is asked to tell what is
the best variety Of strawberries for clay
soil. Says he has no clay soil, but from
what he has observed, would recon- mend
Gandy's Prize and dsparages Bubach
and HavelaLd.
In raspberries he recommends the Pal
mer for early and instead of the Gregg
for late, he would plant the Eureka. He
says make the ground as rich as possible
1T is better to farm one acre well than
two or three acres of poor ground, poorly
cultivated.
The question, "How to Start an Aspar-
agus Bed" was referred to Joseph u.
Hayhurst MIR. Hayhurst has started
plants for bed but could not give any
directions as he scarcely knew what to do
next with his own plants. And asks
whether he should mulch the plants where
they are, or leave them unprotected and
put his mulch on the bed where he ex-
poets to set his plants next spring. His
question lies over till next meeting.
