The Club met at
Roger B Farquhar's at 4 P. M. 8 members were present and it
was thought best to wait a while at 15 minutes of 5 O. C.
Jos. T. Moore was appointed foreman, the minutes of last meeting
read and we started out for a walk, the garden was first
examined and looked well for the season but it showed the effect
of the severe drought, the next thing was the pigs which looked
well but were not intended to be as large as those seen here
last year, the wheat stubble was examined to see how the grass
was set, some thimothy [sic] was found but no clover, the
stub[b]le showed there had been harvested a good crop of wheat

We were glad to see that our host is again incre[a]cing
his stock of cattle some 12 or 15 head were noticed grazing
along the edge of the wood.

We next crossed a strip of meadow land which had been
sow[n] in thimothy [sic] last fall and cut about 1 ton of nice
hay per acre, this summer

The old spring house was found to be doing duty, the new
one hiving [sic] failed some time scince [sic].
