and West Haven Farmers clubs at
their home at Six Mile Creek. Both

the usual greetings. Mrs Stiles,

called the meeting to order, and all
Joined in singing " America" Prayer
by Chaplain Greenwald.
After the reports of committees,
and other routine business, Geo. Of
to, president of the West Haven
club, conducted a short business ses-
sion.
At roll call, some responded with
quotations, and the program was
then taken up, the questions being
discussed jointly by the two clubs.
rs the farmer under an obligation
to the village grocer, and should he
not buy where he can the cheapest?"
Mr.. Beswick thinks We should buy
where we can buy the cheapest, as
We would buy horse; If We sell pro-
duce, we take the grocers' price; if
We buy, We must take the same. Mr..
Simpson-The one who has the dol
lar should use it as they like; the
grocer buys where he can to the best
advantage Mr.. Ott-If we can buy
as cheaply of the local grocer, we
business and to keep them we must
patronize them. Mr.. Carson says To-
cal grocers ship in potatoes, then adj
vertise Northern grown potatoes, ="
when there is better grade raised
at home, as was also the case when
he sent away instead of buying the
horses raised near home so why
should not the farmer send away, if
he can do better. Mrs. Getman
thinks the grocer to blame for the
mail order plan inasmuch as he does
not buy home produce.
what do you consider the best
outlook for feeders of live stock for
next winter. What will it be, cattle
or sheep, and how handled?"
Mr.. Smith thinks with the scarcity
and high price of hay there will be
winter the dry weather will cause
the sale Of stock that is not fit for
market and thus hurt the sale of
the better quality. Mr.. Hill thinks
good time to buy stock is when
people are anxious to sell, and has
heard that if We can buy poor sheep
and sell when fat for the purchase
price hiatt there is good money in it.
We next listened to fine instru-
mental trio by the Misses Day, Spit
Ter and Hills.
do plants repay for the time and
care given?" Mrs. Smith loves
plants but sometimes dislikes leav-
ing other work to care for them, but
enjoys them on the table nearly every
day of the year. Others think them
cure for the blues
A piano duet given by Mrs. d. H..
Day and Miss Ina Day, was much en-
joyed
"Who shall break the colt, and
how?" Mr.. Greenwald-The one
should break it that expects to drive
1T. Halter break it, and at six
months old, place harness on it in
the stall, using care not to brighten
1t, and teach it that nothing is to
hurt it.

What kind of drains should there
be for washwater and soapsuds?"
Mrs. Freeman says sewerage is best,
but where that is not possible sink
drain is good for the clean water,
but not for dirty suds and the dish
water; that should be carried away.
Mrs. Smith thinks a deep laid COW
cred drain will carry refuse water
away from the house best, the same
to be kept sanitary with copperas.
Duet by Misses Jones and Day was
well given.
Mrs. A. w. Clapp gave biography
sketch of Susan B. Anthony.
After giving the host and hostess
a vote of thanks for their hospitality,
