TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

The session opened with Hon. c. j
Monroe of South Haven in the chair
The attendance was nearly 300
J. n. Stearns Of Kalamazoo taking the
place of w. w. Farnsworth, who was IN
able to be present, began the program
with THE Grape as Money Crop"
Mr.. Stearns has had much experience
IN grape growing and stated that he finds
the grape to need less fertilizing than
any other crop, he using ashes exclusive
ly for Concords even on light sandy soil.
though other kinds will bear better with
stronger fertilizer. He thinks that as a
rule fruit of all kinds is picked before il
becomes fully ripened.
The discussion was led by w. A. Prater.
He believes the grape to be the best
crop that can be raised by the man who
rs earnestly seeking the almighty dollar
and stated that in his opinion good
vineyard is worth from $50 to $500 per
acre Grapes, he said, cost about six
cents per basket for producing and eight
cents will allow a good margin, though
as a rule they bring larger profit. If

that the best part of his paper was its
shortness, statement which caused the
entire audience to disagree with him.
he regards the farmer as the most hon

followed c. l.. Rich took exception, there
oy causing an exciting debate.
when and How to Spray" was the
subject then taken up by L. A Farrand.
Ills idea is to spray early and not wait
Tor diseases to appear. Several questions
were asked. all of which were ably an
swered by the speaker.
Following Mr.. Farrand's paper was an
interesting talk on Domestic and SAM /
tary Science" by Mrs. Carrie Ives Saun- I
ders of Saginaw. This was full of good
advice, Mrs Saunders explaining the
proper way i'm which to care for the
mousse, and also putting great stress on

WEDNESDAY, MORNING

The attendance at this session was
very small on account of the bad weather.
The first thing on the program was
the election Of officers for the ensuing
year. The officers elected are as
follows:
Pres, h. l.. Keasey, South Haven;
sec'y and treas, Frank Warner, Geneva;
vice-presdeuts from the several town
ships Almena, S. A. Breed; Antwerp. j..

After the election a. M. Welch of
Iona presented Labor Savers on the
Farm" IN an excellent manner. Help on
the farm, he said is becoming extremely
scarce of late years, which he attributes
to the better education Of farmer boys
VINO as soon as they are old enough, go
into some Profession or run a farm of
their own. But the inventors are work
ing against this scarcity and lessening
the demand or help rapidly as is easily
seen by comparing the farm of to-day
with that OF 30 years ago. The arrange
ment OF buildings is an important ques-
ton In building. They should be arrang-
ed 10 accommodate the easy handling of
all farm crops and implements. The
arrangement of Mr.. WEIGHS barn for
feeding, as he describes it, must be ideal,
having water handy for every animal
ana cars Tor hay and grain running in
front of the line of cattle.
Inc discussion of this subject was led
by r. l.. keasey, who gave good talk
IN describing several convenient contriv-
ances Tor the barn and fields in connec-
ton with many small but labor saving
Inventions for the house, such as revolv-
ing Hour barrels, syphons for filling the
reservoir, etc. Several other small things
were mentioned during the discussion
by others in the audience.
qieo. r.. Rowe then spoke on "Beauti-
iylhg the Home Grounds" He thinks
more is too much neglect of back yards,
'hf care being taken almost ex-
;lqsively of the appearance OF
mp grounds from the road, and
edommends good drainage from the
'i1chen TO the garden. He also spoke of
1oom IN the barn fitted up for the use
u the nired help, but this would seem
Impractical for most farms.
