held last ."Friday at the fine fahn home
of the Josenhans family in York. The
day was a, most propitious one and the
attendance, as usual, large, showing
that time does not lessen the interest
and enthusiasm of the members of this
organization, even though the busy
season is at hand. * Our reporter -was
too late to get the benefit of the
forenoon session, the dinner hour being
well over when we arrived, but this did
not however, prevent tho scribe from
faring well—thanks to the good ladies
of the club.
After dinner the ladies held their
usual meeting which, of course, is always a secret session so far asthe sterner sex is concerned, and tho gentlemen
1 repaired to the barns and stables to in-
I spect the stock and things in general.
j The farm consists of 2U0 acres of fine
; fertile land, principally a dark loam.
j The buildings,though not all of modern
construction, are spacious and in good
repair, as are also the fences on the
I farm, showing that its owners are farmers in practice as well as theory.   A
large flock  of  sheep,   part  of which
were  ordinary  grades and part registered   Merinos,   attracted  considerable attention  and  brought  forth  a
1 spirited discussion   among the sheep
I men present as to the profit and practie-
• ability of the owners plan of handling
| them, the main object seemingly being
i the 1-aisiDg of lambs for mutton, the
] parent  stock being ordinary   grades
j crossed with the Shropshire.   "CCearly
! 100 little lambs were already frisking
about, quite a number of them being
| twins, a peculiar characteristic of the
I coarse-wool cross.   Messrs.  Josenhans
[have  followed  this plan for   several
j years and say they have found it profitable, though the system seemingly does
t not meet with favor among the major-
| ity of Merino breeders, many of whom
| were present.   In another  'lock were
" registered  Merinos, in fine condition
'as was  also  the other stock on the
farm.
THE AFTERNOON SESSION.
!    The noon recess having terminated.
I the meeting was again called to order
: by President Bassett. First on the
program was music, followed by a recitation by Miss Vadah Shaw, which
was rendered in a most able manner
and was highly appreciated by the
listeners.   Next   was a paper on   the
! "Bx'i'ing C.iv-i of Stock"'by Mr. Leonard
Josenhans, who handled the subject in
Will be in Saline every Wednesday and shall be •    h t h talking about,
pleased to meet all in need of work in mj »ne. t-
Oallandsee samples of our work.
plan: Keep them in their winter quarters until pasture was sufficient to keep
them, then turn them out and not
bring them in again. Before this is
done, however, their feet should be
looked to. Take them on a floor and
with chisel and hammer cut the hoof
as short as you would have it were it
being shod." This is one of the most
important of the many little things to
be attended to in raising horses. Also
look to their teeth, see that they shed
and have the new teeth come in as
they should. If they have "wolf teeth"
take them out, as they undoubtedly
effect the eyes, sometime causing blindness.
Cattle: Cows that are giving milk
should be fed grain and hay for some
time after being turned out on grass.
Some farmers and dairymen feed grain
of some kind all through the season,
but it is as yet a disputed question
among dairy aud stockmen as to profit.
Cattle that are being fed for beef to be
disposed of before June had better be
kept in the barns as they will not gain
any in the first few weeks after turning
out and may refuse to eat their grain.
If intended for a later market they may
be turned out when grass is big enough
to keep them. Young cattle can be
turned out sooner and it surely will not
pay (at present prices of beef) to feed
any grain. If they are the right kind
they will gain several hundred pounds
in weight in a short time. Young
calves should have their milk and grain
rations without interruption and when
turned out care taken not to leave them
out in cold rain storms, which is often
the cause of a set-back from which they
never recover entirely.
Sheep:   The breeding flock requires
our attention at this time of the year,
more than any other, as lambs make
their  appearance.   There   are   many
'farmers, no doubt, who do not give
their flock special attention during this
time.   They trust to good luck in this
as in their other operations and although we must admit fbat some really
seemed to be favored with luck, the
, majority of farmers cannot run their
j business " on   this  basis.    When   the
flock is a large one it is best to divide,
I thereby lessening the chance of injury
j in  going  through  gates  and  doors.
| Young lambs that are weakly or when
ewes   drop twius   should  be   placed
thy themselves until a, few days old,
! when if we find that they are doing well
I and are owned by their mothers, they
can be turned into larger flocks.   We
I always keep the owes that have lambs
j seperate as we generally increase the
j rations   of grain   and  roots.    When
shearing without washing is practiced
! las many owning heavy wcoled shftop
do) it had better be done a. few weeks
I beiore turning out to pasture, as the
1 sheep can be accustomed to the change

I to wash they should  be   thoroughly
S tagged before turning out aud the wash-
' ing should be done as early as possible-

C. R. Cobb wanted to know results of
spraying trees.
F. G. Wood thought it very
ficial.
Geo. S. Wood, had tried It and believed It payed. Apply the poison
twice, once just as bloom is falling and
after fruit is formed.
B. 3S". Smith also testified to the
benefits of the practice and wouldtryit
again this spring.
Mr. Kyte has tried it on plums two
years. First year got no plums and
last year thought it successful.
President Bassett wanted to know
the experience of those who had used
salt-as a fertilizer.
A. P. Crittenden used salt and plaster with good results.
P. C. Wood thought it a benefit as it
helped destroy worms and insects.
G. S. Wood looked upon Its use with
less favor.
J. S, Kyte thought when sown on
wheat it resulted in aheavier berry and
also helped the catch of clover.
J. N. Cross favored its use. as "by it "he
had succeed in preventing some of bis
farm from blowing away, by getting a
catch of clover on his sand.
Others favored its use and on the
whole the testimony was largely In
favor of salt as a fertilizer.
It will be seen by above expression
of opinions, that even practical farmers
differ very much, in their ideas of farming and we were led to believe that one
reason is that few farmers are thorough
enough iu their experiments. They go
too much by guess. Another reason is
that different results follow different
conditions of soil, culture, etc., A
generous supply of good common sense
is very essential in the make-up of a
successful farmer.
After some minor business the meeting was adjourned to next meet at B.
1ST. Smith's, May 9th, when the improvement of our roads will be the
theme for discussion.
