It surely was done in style. We think that the supervisor ought to leave the stones the ditch, the driving would be so much more better.

The regular meeting of the Cecil Farmers, Club was held at the residence Mr. H. 1 biyckiuck, Tliursday April 2Sfh, DSsT, with the president, S. H. in the chair.

Members present, Messrs. Duyckinck, Ewing, Micliiner, Noyes, Wilson, If. S. London, Joseph Condon, A. H.

Magraw, S. Magraw, Moore and llrown. Visitors present, Hev. S. A.

Gayley, v. John Sqnier, Hev. James Conway, Hev. Win. Millington, I H.

V.marsdate, A. J. Duyekinek, and Messrs. Dirltnglon and Cameron. Minnies of the lasi meeting were read and approved.

Statements of experiments being called John Ewing slated he wished to report with reference to three fields of grass. He found th two of them which he had pastured last fall presented a good appearance and promised well, whilst i lie third one which he had not pastured, and which had a line stand of grass last fall give little promise of a crop. He supposed the Held rats hurroughing in it had destroyed it. The opinion of the club favored pasturing all stubble in The fall. An essay being the next order of business the host read one, the subject of hich was as a This is a question that lias seriously engaged the attention of the farmer lor a number of years past, and the uuremunerative returns received for his toil has led to much discouragement, ami matters have been complicate'l by the undue ratio of expense with the receipts from the products of the farm.

Possibly much of our trouble arises from another source, the desire fora too generous living, the disposition to enjoy more of the luxuries of life man our occupation leasonably warrants. The remedy suggested lor these evils is a close application to our pursuit, with economy in all matters of expenditure and in selling all the productions of the farm that can be possibly spared. Criticisms on the essay were then called fur. Messrs. Michiner, S.

C. Magraw and H. S. Condon were pleased with the essay and regarded the matter presented as truthful and worthy of consideration. Mr.

John P. Wilson listened to the essay with interest, did not understand, however, that any practical remedy had been suggested fur the evils compassing the farmer. Mr. Moore suggested the raising of less grain would perhaps correct in a measure some of the evils cumplainsd of. Messrs.

Noyes and Ewing agreed that at teulion to business and application to his own interest would secure to the farmer the be lie tits he fails to Mr. Jos. Condon thought the essay did suggest a remedy for the difficulties surrounding the farmer which were early rising, strict attention to matters about the farm and economy in living. Mr. A.

Magraw regarded the essay as but did not. fully understand in what we were expected to exercise economy. Mr. Dnyckiuck explained that dress one matter to which he referred, he advised cheaper and more substantial fabrics. Hev.

Mr. Gayley was sorry Mr. Dnyckinck took such an unfavorable view of farming, and contrasted the present favorable condition of the farmer to what it was thirty years ago. He humorously referred to the fine carpets, piano and bric-a-hrac that adorn his house, something that was hardly known in the past. He thought the pres ent difficulties arose from an over production in the staples of life, advised contraction in this direction, depreciated combinations and as the law of supply and demand was unalterable, thought remedies suggested by some will not avail.

He claimed we had reason to he thankful for the abundance we enjoy, and ad vised the farmer be hopeful. Hev. John Sqnier made a comparison in the farms now and what they were years to the present. He argued that farmers have advanc' materially in wealth, and in the increased comforts ot'living. He thought, there had been an increase in the cost of living with the laboring, as well as other classes.

Mr. Darlington was opposed to combinations, and to any restriction of rod notion. What we require, is a marker for our products, which he thought could be had by proper legislation. Mr. Conway thought the low price of grain was owing to tbs fact that England does not quire our supplies.

Criticisms were then closed. It was then moved that the corresponding secretary he instructed to tender the thanks of the club to Mr. 11. H. Torbert for the pleasant and generous entertainment given to the club at his residence in Elkton some four weeks ago.

An article on breeding Percheron horses was read by Mr. A. K. Magraw. The president then appointed Messrs.

Jos. Condon, Ewing ami Noyes a committed on examination of stock and system of culture. On recess was taken for dinner. After the enjoyment of the unUifiil provision of their host, the club was called to re-assemhle. The committee appointed to view the farm, stock, reported everything in good condition, and as denoting thrift and prosperity, in which report all the members concurred.

On motion Judge F. Slump and Mr. J. Tome were elected honorary members, Mr. FL S.

Condon depositing the ballot. The president inquired if any of the members bail any questions to ask. Mr. Sqnier wished to know the amount over which magistrates had Jurisdiction: bad seen rises tried in court involving only three or four dollars with perhaps at a cost of SSO to the county. He inquired whether this could not be remedied, and the money saved for school purposes.

The Old Levy Through the courtesy of the clerk to the County Commissioners we were permitted to inspect the many volumes of the that are in the custody that official.
