Last weeks Grange meeting wa,
well attended. there being Is member,
and one visitor present After til
regular business had been disposed Of
Asst Lecturer, Jos. II. Harrington, Jr
presented very pleasing and instruc.
tive program. Subject for discussion
was The Soil and How to Care for it.
w. NJ, r. II. West, read a very inter,
esting paper on the subject and was
followed by Brs. r. X. Harrington and
r. s. Gilbert who gave very interest
ing and instructive talks on the sub
ject. The semi monthly was an excep-
tionally good number and we hope will
be heard at every meeting. VIM. J.
Holley read the Gettysburg address
which at this time was most appro-
pirate. A piano duet by Miss Dorothy
Crandall and Miss Manley was well
rendered and received well deserved
applause. The next meeting will be
held Wednesday evening the 2lst, and
We understand another good program
will be presented.
About % of our farmers met in
School Hall last Friday afternoon and
listened TO addresses on the milk stu
alton by our County agent, F. Clifford
Shaw, Hon. James NJ. Bebee Of East
Dorset, and l.. II. Cook of Dandy, the
organizer for the New England Milk
Producers Association. After the ad-
dresses an informal talk was had and
ii was decided to form a Dorset
branch of the association. Fifteen
names were enrolled representing 242
cows. Fred G. Stone was elected
president and the other officers were
elected as follows: Vice president,
VIM. McWayne; secretary and treas
urer, Charles Lee; herd committee:
VIM. McWayne, Henry Harwood and
John Kelley. The name of this asso-
citation will be "The Dorset Branch of
the N. f. NJ. P. A." 1t is hoped that
before the next meeting takes place
that every dairy farmer in this section
will have enrolled. The benefits to be
derived are great and the cost to the
farmer for these benefits are very
slight. One dollar year. United
you succeed. Divided you fail.
