2 mo 12 The club met at the house of R B Farquhar. Several members were absent, and we had several guests. W W Moore was appointed, foreman and after reading the minutes of the last meeting here, we Started for
our usual walk. The snow and mud prevented going far. After
viewing a fine lot of hogs we were shown a circular saw for
fire wood that had been in opperation in the morning.
Some not very encouraging remarks were made by those that
think the labor saving is more imaginary than real, but the
most of us thought it a good thing. After examining the
colts, sheep &c at the stables & yard we were invited to
