at Wayside home, the home of Mr.. and
Mrs F. w. Stiles, with good number
of members and some visitors in at
tendance. A social time was INDUCED
In until our hostess announced dinner,
to which we all did ample justice The
meeting was called to order at 80 by
the president, E. o Place. Chaplain
exercises were conducted by j. U.

and approved. E. 0. Place was elected
delegate to state association of Farmers

First question for discussion was
Selection and care of farm stock, open.
ed by leader, E. 0. Place, who said
that each should be their own Judge of
what kind of stock they should keep
whether for stock purposes or for
market. and that one If the most
essential things was regular feed and
water. Mr.. M. w. Wil!oughby said
that no more stock should be kept than
we could give the very best of care from
the poultry up to the horses and cattle,
and should be for breeding purposes
nothing less than thorough bred but for
the market good cross often produced
better and quicker results than the full
blood.
The next question, Privileges of the
farmer, was led bv j. u Miller, who
said the privileges of the farmer were
many, and that no one had so many
good satisfactory ones as they most
thought it quite an item to be your own
master and that farm life was more
independent and held more and better
privileges than any other could.
Handling of orchards was briefly dis
cussed by j. U. Miller and others;
Reading, Thanksgiving in New Homes,
