Sarah H Bond told us that she fed very young
chickens on dry oatmeal and hominy and she
had proved the importance of mixing corn meal
dough at least 12 hrs. before it was given to her
birds thus enabling it to swell. Several others
endorsed her methods. Mary S. Osborne read
extracts from a sermon on "Character" by
Joseph T. Smith a Presbyterian minister.

The secretary called the attention of the Association
to the "Sandy Spring Outlet" a paper of
one edition only, edited by Mary E. Thomas for
the benefit of "The Children's Summer Home"
near Catonsville all the articles for which paper
were written by Sandy Spring people.

A walk to one of the neatest and prettiest of
flower gardens disclosed much to admire
and recommend and our hostess appeared to have
solved the problem of rose culture judging from
the great promise of bloom on healthy
bushes. She gave a number of carnations
to all who wanted them.

Adjourned to Walnut Hill *

* Owing to the illness of Anna F Gilpin
