The average attendance b; been good, and in ail ways it has been boncUei.il, both socially and materially, its friends could desire. The practice having an essay road at each meeting by member appointed for the purpose, li added much interest. Uis extracts fro the minutes of the Club are as follows : An average of 12 working hours per d; was thought to be right for both employ and laborer. Most members think it m< satisfactory to permit an allowance and I their hands board themselves. The opi ion is gaining ground that it is best to si clover seed in Che Fall as well as in t Spring. An experiment was reporte showing that Berkshire hogs weighing fr< 25d to 300lh-. lose 12His. in the htiudri in dressing, while those weighing from 1< to 200 lose 21 lbs. in the hundred. It recommended to apply lime to the surla rather than to phnv it under. It is thoug to he most profitable to have a dairy he fresh in August or September, rather tli in the Spring. The wheat crop of the CI averaged one bushel per acre less than 1; year, but the acreage was 30 per cent great The viohl of corn was unm-cccdenteil II was only about hair a crop.
