How has the farmers club benefit.
ed you? was responded TO by each
member. All agreed that one great
benefit is that they are enabled to get

to make many new frienus. The far.
mers' club is like a: school, an educa.
tor to the farmer.
The good roads system aud many
other reforms have been agitaUed, thus
benehting every farmer. Ideas are
exchanged by both the ladies and the
gentlemen on subjects pertaining to
farming and housekeeping.
Some said they are benfted be-
cause they have SO much for dinner
they Go not need any supper when
they get home-or at any rate do not
get any. The recreation which it
gives is also worth noting.
A recitation, eff paw could have his
way" was nicely given by Miss Vale
ria Warner.
The farmer as business man; along
what lines should he excel? In order
to make success OF farming one
should be good business man. He
should study the soil, keep up the fer
Utility and find what is best adapted to
it, whether it is better for some
special line or for for general farming.
He should keep accounts, take an in
ventory and balance accounts. A far
mer should also study the markets
and find out when is the best time to
sell his produce and find out what the
prices are before taking anything to
market

the rose potato ahead OF all others,
and several other varieties were also
mentioned.
What can housekeepers best leave
undone? Some of the ladies suggested
that some of the ironing might be re-
duced and some sweeping. Fewer
fancy dishes, less pie and cake, and
people would have better health and
How may we learn to like work?
Many thought people never learn to
like work only for the money received
or 1t. Mrs. Getman In a snort paper
suggested that people do like work
many times; when they can do a thing
we'll it is often a pleasure to do it.
And often the satisfaction of seeing
we'll done is worth the trouble
Of doing 1t.

Mr.. and Mrs. Warner and family for
their hospitality.
