The Club met at Fredk Stabler's
all the members present except W T. Brooke. We had as
guests M. Osborn, Geo Brooke Jr. Thos Shomaker.
As usual we were much after the appointed
hour in getting together Which so often makes
our walk too hurried. C. H. Brooke was foreman

The first object of interest was the garden
every thing showed care & thrift. The Cattle
& colts were in a fine White clover pasture and
looked as though the pasture agreed with them

The Large bay mare has another fine colt
which she always does no matter how poor a horse
the sire is. The orchard was doing well
except some trees who were hurt by the
bow. The corn field was crossed in our
walk & promised well especially the acre
intended to take the Club Premium.
The Wheat promised a fair yield of good
quality. Some English wheat was shown but
pronounced too late. The Grass field was a
contrast to the adjoining old field.

The appearance of a rain made us hurry
to the house where after partaking of Supper
the following Questions were asked and
answered.

What is the price cutting & shocking Wheat?
Ans $1.75 & $2.00
