sion at Talleyville last night discussed
the question OF feeding horses and the
relative cost Of keeping team and an
automobile. From farmers OF experience
II was learned that 100 pounds OF hay a
week Is required 10 keep the average
horse, with lie pounds of grain each
week II was agreed informally that the
cost Of keeping a horse was iess than that
Of keeping an auto.
The subject Of seeding wheat was dis
cussed at length. Some farmers follow
the practice of sowing two bushels 10 tss
acre. drilling both ways, while others
SOW only one bushel to the acre and drill
only one wa5. II was brought out In tne
discussion that the richer and lighter the
soil. Tie less It was necessary to 7ow,
willie II the soil was not highly fer;ile
and heavy. more seed was required.
The unusually heavy blasting IN build
ing the new Rockland road was discussed
T. was the general opinion that the Law
should provide reasonable limit 10 tho
number of pounds Of explosives to IL
usel in blasting.

Needham, Englebright and Mckinlay
of san Francisco, and old John Muir,
the famous naturalist, were seated az
tire board table with the President and
the way they all pitched into the

ter the luncheon the President acted
as umpire while the more active mem-
bers OF the party played a baseball
game, using a young pine sapling for
a bat and pine cones for balls.
Those who were not playing busted
themselves hunting new balls. Two
or three smart raps with the bat
would break the balls, and the Presi-

that the ranges be substituted for th'
