We met at the house of A M Stabler.
Several absent, and commenced late.
The minutes of last meeting were not on hand.
The first place of interest was the garden, which
looked well. The pig pen was examined, not
stocked to its capacity, the former occupants
having the range of the peach orchard.
They promise an abundant supply for the
coming year, Peaches scarce and small
tho quite enjoyable. Our late start made it
necessary to return to the house soon when
the following questions were answered.

1 Will it pay to build a shed for fodder at
my barn.
A A large majority thought it would pay
Robert Stabler, but some thought it
would not pay as general thing.
2 What shall I do with sweet potatoe vines
A They should have been coiled up sooner.
3 How much wheat or rye shall I sow on 22
acres of plowed land
A 14 Wheat & 7 Rye
4 My suckling colt has a swelled leg..
Casttile soap and red pepper, or
1/2 teaspoon-full of carbolic acid in a
pint of fish oil.
5 Will it pay to fence 30 acres of wood for pasture
Yes
6 Shall I put wheat or corn after a badly worked
crop of corn in new ground, A. Wheat.
