AFTERNOON, FRIDAY DEC. 81.

AFTEhNOON, thlDA1 DEC. Al.
"Growing and Marketing Peach
es," by White, was next in order
Mr.. White said that great care
should be taken in the purchase OF
trees, and that he preferred to &c
twenty or thirty miles to the nur-
sery and select his trees, than to
buy of the agent or tree peddler
that care should be taken in pre-
pairing the ground and in planting
trees, also in training the trees.
He said he would pasture his or
chard with sheep to keep down the
weeds. This called forth some
objections from different members
who thought it expensive to pas.
ture orchards as one was almost
sure to suffer loss of trees by the
sheep peeling them. Varieties were
also considered and none but the
old standard varieties such as
Smock, Stump the World, Mount
ain Rose, Lemon Cling and Heath
Cling were recommended.
"Cow Peas and Clover" was
the next subject taken up and dis
cussed, but as not many raise COW
peas, clover was the most prof
table of the two, being the bes
adapted to all soils.
"Mistakes, Experiences ant
Observations" by Williams wal
very instructive and if the sug
gestions of the speaker were fol
lowed, a great many of the mis-
takes would be overcome.
EVENING SESSION, Z p. NJ.
Prayer by Rev. N. E. Cornetet.
"Shall We Farm" by White
White in his talk said statistic
showed that the world depended
on the farmer for their subsistanc,
and of the IS million people in tn
United States, but 10 million wa
engaged in farming, therefore tn
| farmer is master of the situation
if he would but assert his rights
and that he could bring all other
to their knees if he so wished.
"Our Farm People of the Goth
Century," by Rev. Deaver, wa
the next subject. The reveren'
gentleman said he was glad tina
this subject was assigned to hir
for there was not one in his au
dience who would live to deny hi
representations. The Reveren
delivered very interesting an
amusing talk.
"What About Our Schools" b
Williams. This was a very ir
, teresting subject, and the speake
demonstrated that consolidatio
is one of the things that will {
necessity have to be done, an
that it is already being done i
many places with the public COZ
veying the children to and frol
school.

The Hooking County Farmers
Institute held its annual session in
Logan, Dec. 81, %, 1900.
10. A. NJ. FRIDAY DEC. 81.
The session was opened with
prayer by Rev. DR.. Harley j..
Steward.
The first topic considered, was
"Skilled Labor on the Farm" by
A. l.. White of Norwich, Musking-
Co., o. Mr.. White demonstrated
that labor on the farm needed to
be of as much skill as any other
occupation and without skill it
was failure, and that the future
farmer must of necessity be skill
full and wide awake or step down
and out.
The next subject discussed was,
"My Experience with Potatoes, !"
by G. G. Williams of Gustavus,
Trumbul Co., o. Mr.. Williams
said his average for ten years was
about 14O bushels per acre, and
that he did not grow the early
varieties but all the late ones, such
as the Carman and Banner, and
expeIimented with few of the new
varieties. There was some discus
sion on this lecture by the men,
bers of the society, and as it was
near the hour of noon, it was de-
cided that the best Potatoes were
the ones that were well cooked, and
after the appointment of the fol-
lowing committees on nomination
and resolutions, there was a recess
declared for dinner.

Its branching top and dense foliage
quickly shades the ground preventing
the further growth Of grass and weeds,
and it requires no further attention

The top is worthless except for seed

In recent dispatch to London paper
scathingly denoances the officials in

at home and In South Africa. and con-
dcmns the unwonted display OF red

ciasses as criminal neglect. He says:
