it into the ground.
Mr.. Grove said he had tried
blowing it under on two occasions
and got good results both times.
Messers. r. T. Cameron, Polk
and Biles were appointed COM
mittee of inspection and an ad
journment was taken for dinner.
When the guests were ushered
to the dining room they found
dainty place card souvenirs at each
plate, each card containing a
guests name and a clever pen aud
ink drawing in colors of some
emblem of the farm, done by one of
the young members of the house

past, some time was spent in view

ing the committee after compli.
imenting the hostess on the dinner
gave a review of what they had
seen. First was a conservatory,
which was something out of the
ordinary to be found on a farm.
The stock consisted of four nice
colts of French coach stock, six
work horses, % milk cows and
three heifers in better condition
than when the club last met here,
seven or eight calves, not in first
class condition, one bull, six fat
hogs weighing about 200 lbs. each
and four blood soWs; % acres in
wheat, 20 acres of which looked
very fair but balance not so good;
80 acres of corn ground for field
and silage corn, crib of $50 bushels
of fine corn large portion of which
was of Reed variety which the host
said yielded rs bushels per acre;
16 white Leghorn pullets, $50
Plymouth Rocks and Rhode Island
Reds and a lot of little chicks, a
Bourbon Red gobler and two
turkey hens. This variety was
recommended, as the golfers will
never stray out of sight of the
barn which has a tendency to keep
the hens from hiding their nests
too far away. Concrete watering
troughs in barn yard and entry,
part of pig pen devoted to store
house for implements, ice house
with sufficient ice. creamery clean
and orderly, everything about the
premises in good order. The host
was complimented on the humane
methods in force for the care of all
his stock. A two.yea old apple
orchard, healthy and vigorous,
with good set of grass, containing
800 York Imperials and 80 Wine
saps Half of the orchard which
had been set on cultivated ground
was much in advance of the other
portion. % cherry trees, lot of
pear trees and gooseberry bushes.
The trees showed they had all been
thoroughly sprayed, but the hosts
attention was called to the faulty
trimming of some of the trees,
which authorities state should not
be trimmed to allow the formation
of crotch as the tree is liable to
split when loaded with fruit.
The question was asked which
variety of chickens were the better
layers, Leghorns or Plymouth
Rocks. The reply was that the
former laid more eggs in a year
and the latter laid more in winter
when the price was better.
Mr.. Polk said his potatoes were
Gold Coin and State Of Maine and
that he considered the former
much the finer variety.
Mr.. P0ist stated that $50, 900
worth of poultry had been stricken
off the tax list of Cecil county
after the recent assessment returns
we're made.

How Spirits Spell.

"Judging by spiritistic communica-
tons have received lately simple
spelling must be more popular in the
world beyond than it is in this" said
a man who patronises mediums. Halt
the messages received from the spirit
land nowadays are spelled in a way to
bring Joy to the hearts of the simple
spoilers. Not one medium, but many,
transmit them thus. Mediums who
know the old-fashioned spelling book
well enough to spell down a whole
room full of folks have gone over to
the revised edition.
whatever force 1t Is that guides
their hands when transmitting mes.
sages must be impressed with the util-
ity of the new system. At the last
seance l attended I received q COM
munication from a man who fought
new-fangled spelling with his dying
breath, but since he passed over he
must have learned something to make
him change his mind. for he now
writes like disciple Of Artemus

Even Cannon Droop.

Among the problems with which
army and navy engineers have to deal
nowadays is that Of the dropping Of
the muzzles of excessively long guns
under the stress of their own weight.
Experiments have shown that wire
wound guns of 12inch caliber and 90
feet length droop at the muzzle about
Az minutes Of arc. while built-up
solid guns of tho same size droop
about ~ minutes. Differences OF
temperature in the body Of the gun
also cause bendings, which may eth
