mers' Club met at pheasant Prospect" the
home of Mr. Charles E. Burton, in Long Green
valley, December 5th. The members present
were Messrs. Charles E. Burton, William Hos
klns. Joseph B. Twining. William A. Harlan,
William L. Amoss, William Preston, Benja-
MIN Amoss and James .. Watson, with Messrs.
FRANK Hammond, Charles Baldwin and David
Harlan as guests of the evening.
After roll call and the reading of the minutes
an inspection committee was appointed, COM
posed of Messrs. William L. Amoss, William
A. Harlan and Benjamin Amoss. The club
! tnen took recess to visit Pleasant Prospect
Farm. The first place of interest was the barn
| where was found fine herd of milk cows in
| warm, well kept stable. The cows were in a
thrifty condition. being fed from silo, with
! other feed which Mr.. Burton mixes with his
ensllage. Mr.. W. L. Amoss advised the use
| OF stanchions as he believes the cows can be
kept in a neaer condition. MIR. Burton's
milk-room was found in excellent shape. He
has natural flow of water, which is sufficient
for his stock and also for cooling the milk.
| The large spring, which furnishes the water
| is some distance from the house and Mr.. Bur-
ton says in the dryest seasons he still has full
flow of water to the barn. well bred colt
was found exercising in nearby lot, which is
well worthy of mention, and promises to be
| good worker. He was sired by Bay George, a
coach stallion. A six-months'-old colt, sired
| by Arch Duke, was seen, which promises
good driver. Mr.. Burton was unfortunate in
having new barn, which included a horse
stable, corn house and farming implement
house, struck by lightning last summer and
burned. He contemplates rebuilding in the
lsspring.
The farming implements all seemed to have
found new shelter, as everything had a place
and was well housed for the winter. He had
a comfortable horse stable fixed up, and his
horses, three in number, with one mule were
seemingly in a thrifty condition.
he oil Er1n
crop for this year, as he has from IL to Is bar
rels per acre, the quantity not exceeding the
q,.ality. as the ears are well filled with sound
corn. He has still some corn to husk.
His silo is filled with ensiage of excellent
quality, and he has good supply of hay in the
barn. Mr.. Burton was highly complimented
on the neatness and thrifty condition of his
farms which is we'll worthy of its name,
Pleasant Prospect" He was also compi-
mented on his attractive dwelling house, which
is heated by steam.
After the report of the inspection committee
the club spent delightful hour or two in the
attractive dining-room where every member
did justice to the tempting viands. The club
appointed Mr.. Burton a delegate, and Mr..
Joseph Twining, as alternate, to visit meet
ing of the Farmers League of Maryland to be
held in Baltimore, December Goth.
The hosts subject was next in order, which
was given in the form of a question: "Is it
beneficial to topdress before blowing or after"
1t seemed to be the sentiment of the club to
topdress after blowing, except for corn, when
it was thought best to manure sod before plow-
ing. The members were of the impression
that topdressing for potatoes had a tendency
to make them scabby, but Mr.. Twining ex-
planned how that could be prevented by using
sulphur about seven-eighths of pound to
busbe of cut potatoes used before planting
MI David Harlan says he would like to put
stable manure on both sides of his ground,
but as he has not sufficient for this he prefers
putting it on after blowing.
AS the subject had been passed around and
the time for adjournment was at hand the club
adjourned to meet January I'd, at "Ingleside,"
the home of Mr.. Joseph B. Twining The
time for meeting will be o'clock. one hour
earlier than usual, as Mr.. Twining has several
farms to inspect. The subject for this meet
ing is: (Which is the best for the farmer, the
dual or special purpose cow?' The members
are supposed to be posted on this subject and
an interesting meeting is anticipated.
