MEETING OF THE AGRICULTURAL

Crep Reports Wheat Culture DIscnuIen en
Best Breed of Cattle, Etc., Etc.
The Lancaster County Agricultural aud
Horticultural society met iu their rooms
in city hall yesterday afternoon. The
follewing: named members were present :
Jes. F'. Witmer, president. Paradise ;
51. D. Kendig, secretary, Cresswell ; F.
R. Diffenderfer, city ; W. W. Griest,
city ; Jehnsen Miller, Warwick ; Henry
Kurtz, Mount Jey ; J. C Linville. Salis

city ; II. 51. Engle, Marietta ; J. G. Resh,
West Willow; J. Prank Landis, East
Lampeter ; Eph. Hoever, Manheim town
ship. Crep Reports.
Reports ou the condition of the crops
beiug called for, Jehnsen Miller, of War
wick, reported that the wheat crop had
been harvested aud some of it threshed,
and had net turned out as well as expected ;
corn and tobacco both want raiu ; a great
many apples are dropping off ; pasture is
short ; early potatoes, a geed crop ; late
potatoes net mere than half a crop.
Heury Kurts, of Mount Jey reported the
wheat crop rather peer, averaging uet
mere than ten or eleven bushels per acre ;
his ewu and some ethers are better and will
yield au average crop ; tobacco is very
irregular, some of it very small and
stunted, some of it has been topped, the
eaily plawtt.il is rather peer, the late
planted may make a geed crop with favor
able weather, the corn that was net
planted tee early may also make a geed
crop.
llenry 51. Engle, of Marietta, said al
though there had uet been much raiu in
his neighborhood the crops had net suffer
ed much ; corn is in a fair condition and
se is young clever. Rain is new wanted
for the tobacco, some of which is as fine as
he has ever seen and some very small ;
some tields are badly affected with foxi fexi
ness. Thcre are no peaches ; apples are
-falling off aud pears will make a geed
crop. Rainfall during the past month
about H inches.
Jehn C. Linville, of Salisbury, said
there have been local showers around
them, but in Salisbury no rain since June.
The corn has been much injured by the
drought and is of very irregular growth,
aud the tobacco the poorest he has ever
seen in that section of the county. The
yeuug plants started well, but have been
cut down by the drought. The eats crop
is the best harvested for years ; wheat,
very light ; early potatoes very geed, and
late potatoes suffering for rain.
James Weed, et Little Britain, says
that his section of the county has been
favored with several refreshing raius aud
crops are growing finely. Tobacco, iu
general, leeks very well, better thau in
townships further north; wheat, pretty
well headed ; potatoes, a very geed crop ;
sill planted in that section are early pota
toes ; don't plant any late ones. A far
mer living ever the line in Chester county
told him that his wheat yieldcd twenty
two bushels per acre.
Jehn II. Laudis, of Maner, said they
had a splendid rain iu his neighborhood
last Friday. Cern leeks very well, though
seme fields are a little backward ; pota
toes, a full crop ; thcre are no peaches ;
apples, very peer, the Smokehouse beiug
the best aud the Farad isa the next. The
tobacco fields are very irregular, some
very forward seme very geed ; the crops
suffered for raiu until last week. The
finest tobacco he has seen this season is an
acre belonging te Smith S. Suedgrass, of
Little Britain.
5Ir. D. Kcndig, of Crcswcll, reported
that there had been no rain iu the west
end of Hanover township. Cern and to
bacco appear healthy but want raiu ;
seme of the tobacco has already been
topped ; pastures arc peer aud are drying
up ; yeuug clever is well set aud with a
sufficiency of rain; it aud the ceru
and tobacco will yet de well.
J. Frank Landis, of East Lampeter,
says wheat will average about twclve te
fifteen bushels per acre. Yeung grass
leeks bad, but the eats and potato crops
are the best ever grown. Tobacco leeks
pretty well.
Jacob Bellinger, of Manheim township,
reported the tobacco short and commenc
ing te sheet. Petate crop excellent. Yeuug
clever fairly set, but sufferiug for raiu
and has been injured considerably by
grasshoppers. Cern generally peer, from
the fact that most of it was planted in stub
ble. Apples falling off, pears a full crop,
peaches very scarce. Oats best ever
grown seventy-five bushels te the acre.
Jeseph F. Witmer, of Paradise, reported
that seme of the early tobacco is sheeting
seed ; part of it has been topped. This
side of btrasburg the tobacco is very small,
but sufficient rain may yet make a geed
crop. Cern premises well and wheat yields
better than was expected. A great many
apples falling off ; no peaches ; some
pears ; eats very geed.
Henry 51. Eugle, of Marietta, said that
corn should be cultivated as seen as possi
ble after a raiu, se that the ground may
be loosened ; the corn is uet then affected
by a subsequent drought. As te the late
potatoes he thinks the fault is that farmers
generally plant their late potatoes tee
early ; he had never failed te get geed
crops between the last of May and the be
ginning of June.
Wheat Culture.
" What varieties of wheat should farm
ers plant this fall "" was the next question
discussed.
Jehnsen Miller said the Fultz variety
had heretofore bore well, but this year had
failed. Seme varieties de well in oue
neighborhood that will net de well in an
ether, has experimented with a geed many
different varieties of wheat, but finds the
red 5Ieditcrancan the most desirable.
Seme ethers are net adapted te our climate
He tried the Eureka variety, but it did
net ripen until the 15th or 20th of July.
Jehn C. Liuville has for ten or twelve
years past depended en the Fultz variety,
but for two years past it has net done
well. The Eureka variety looked well, in
the field, but he cau'fc tell hew it will
yield, as it has net yet been threshed. He
sewed two bushels of Reger's white last
fall ; it, also, leeks well, but has net been
luresucu. vjua ui ins ucigiiuers trieu me
Seneca wheat, which did very well. Don't
knew what variety te recommend.
Jacob Bellinger sews one-half his field
iu Jlediterranean red and the ether half in
Fultz. Last fall he sewed a field before
the 10th of September. In this the Fultz
will yield twice as much as the Mediter
rancan. In auether field sewed after the
15th of September, the Jlediterranian did
much the best.
Jehnsen Miller said he had mixed ten
bushels of Fultz and Jlediterranean wheat
and sewed them together with geed
effect.
Henry M. Engle said farmers will, after
all, chose their own varieties of wheat ;
some de better with one variety and some
with ethers. He will.sew the Fultz wheat
because he don't think he could de better.
Farmers should test different varieties and
adept that which does best en their own
farms.
Levi S. Reist says he is about giving up
the Fultz variety it yields tee little straw.
It is well adapted for low, deep soil, but
our farmers want mere straw than it will
yield. In the West Clausen and Fultz
varieties are much used, but here the
Jlediterranean does better.
James Weed said he could net call te
mind ? single acre of red Jlediterranean
wheat in his township. The Fultz variety
is raised largely aud does well.
Jeseph F. Witmer said a geed deal of
red wheat is sewed in bis neighborhood,
but there is mere Fultz sewed. Fer a
few years past he has sewn rcd-bcarded
wheat. It has a stiff straw and yields
well. He sewed some Eureka wheat
which ripened several days earlier than
the'ether and the grains lay closer en the
stem.
Henry 51. Engle did net agree with Mr.
Reist as te the advisability of growing
straw. He believed in getting as much
wheat and as little straw, as much corn
and as little cob, as much beef and as lit
tle bone, as possible, and se of all ether
crops , he wanted the kernel and uet the
hull.
What is tiie Best Breeil at Cattle for the
General Farmer.
Jehnsen Miller read the following es
say :
The above question has been referred te
me for answer. It is'a question of great
importance and one which every farmer in
this county ought te study and answer for
himscli. 1 for one am net able te fully
consider the things which would belong te
a full answer te the question, aud I there
fore think the member who has referred te
me would himself be better qualified than
I am te auswer it. However, my opinion
will be given, which will only open the
question for discussion, and I hope it may
bring out seme facts, that will be benefi
cial if net interesting te our farmers. Iu
the first place when I leek at the question
iu the form itis worded I iufcr it means net
only the best looking ; but that it means
also what would be best paying stock te
have, and iu this form and from this stand
point I shall consider it. There are se
many things which we ought and which
we must consider when we make a selec
tion for our herd of cattle and each one
must consider for what particular purpose
he wants his herd, whether he want.1? it ex
clusively for dairy purposes. Then he
should select such as will give the most
flew of milk ; if worked for butter making
then he should select such as give most
butter, say the Alderncy would thou fill
the bill, as would also the Jersey and
several ethers ; but then again, when you
want te raise stock you certainly want
something that makes mere flesh than
cither of yie above named, Alderncys,
Jerseys, etc. Then you leek for something
like the Durham and Devens, where you
have frame and when you raise a calf you
have some weight te soil when three years
old ; se we see there are se many points in
the different herds and se much depends
upon the manner a farmer is situated aud
what he intends te fellow after he has se
lected his herd, that it is a hard matter te
answer the question as is presented te us,
and wc will auswer it from several stand
points aud a little te suit the circumstances
surrounding it. Iu the first place we take
our general Lancaster county farmer herd,
such as want te raise stock, even if it don't
pay, aud which I will prove hereafter that
it will uet, he should select the best Dur
ham, have the full breed and after he has
them keep them pure and feed thorn well
and he will get a geed supply of butter and
will have some weight when he wants te
sell the raisings te the butchers.
This is new the stock our Lancaster
county farmers would consider the best
herd, but, Mr. Chairman, here is just
where I differ with seme of our eldest aud
best farmers. I have se often declared,
aud will today agaiu say te this society
aud tlie geed old farmers of thi-ceunty,
that stock-raising don't pay where land is
worth $200 an acre, or even mere. I have
tried the experiment myself, and knew,
therefore, whereof I speak. It costs mere
te raise a three-year-old steer thau he is
worth don't care what kind of stock you
get and, thercfere,the idea that the Dur
ham and the Devens are the best herd for
Lancaster county fanners because they
make se much mere beef is no argument,
and is in my estimation net the answer te
the question before us. But let us for a
moment turn our attention te the little Al
derncy aud leek at her and see what ad
vantages she presents te induce our farm
ers te fill up their herds with her offspring.
The only true read te successful farming at
present for the Laucastcrceunty farmer te
fellow is te keep less stock in summer aud
let mere of the grass ret en the field te
plow under, since the geed farmers need
all their manure for their tobacco land,
aud te de this you want something that
will give the best return for the least feed,
something that will produce the most but
ter from a small herd of cows ; something
that will thrive en the least feed, and in
looking around you have all these in the
prjjtay little Aldcrney cow. leu larnicre.
when you have 4 or 5 Aldcrney cows duri ng
the summer, make as much butter as 9 or
10 of your common stock, and plenty of milk
for your own use, and still seme butter te
sell and enough te buy all the necessary
groceries for the house, and what mere de
you want. Keep a few cows in summer
and deu't raise any stock, since you cannot
compete with the West where land is cheap
and corn plenty, but buy your stock and
feed all the corn you can raise aud mere
yet, aud improve our farm and make
money ; and te de this I think the Alder
ney is the best herd a farmer can get.
I have new given what is my
opinion and where I am wrong I am
open te correction, and ask pardon for
deviating from the subject when
showing iiew I think we can improve our
farms; but it is just what we are looking
for, hew te get the most revenue for the
least expense, and I think we can de it by
having a small Alderney herd of cattle.
H. 51. Eugle said any farmer who don't
take care of his stock ought te be prohibi
ted from keeping any. Therefore we
ought te have the best kind the Alder
ney aud take the care of them. As butter-makers
they are unequalled. Some
times common breeds yield excellent re
sults, but the Alderney is reliable at all
nines,
The essay was discussed at considerable I

Landis and ethers.

tion of land for wheat.

the same te next meeting.
The question selected for discussion at
next meeting is :
"What's the yearly value of a cow's

Nicholas Boyd.
A Character In the Lewer End.
Fer the INTSLLIGENCEB.
There are few people in the lower end
of our county who are pet acquainted with
Nicholas Boyd " Uncle Nickey," as he is
familiarly called, and iu fact, he is known
by old residents all ever the county, and
in Yerk and Harford counties, en the
ether side of the river,- the " happy hunt
ing grounds" of his distant youth ; for
Nickey was a great sport among the las
sies in " Auld Lang Syne."
Indeed, he has net yet forgotten his
gallantry te the ladies, although he has
always - been proof against captivating
smiles, and never was galled they are
galling semetimes, I believe ? by hymen
ial bends. Mr. Boyd is a bachelor, but
tells of the many sweethearts of his youth
(they were mere numerous even than your
correspondent's arc), hew he always gave
them te his friends in marriage ; hew he
was ever contented te sip the honey and
leave ethers pluck the roses, when he had
flown te a newer one, " unenjeyed be bo be
fere." But he tells that even new he
kuews where thcre are several ladies of
"certain age," which means, according te
Byren, ' certainly aged," waiting for the
return of the butterfly lever of their
youth te lead them te the altar.
Uncle Nickey was born in " 1807, April
20, Monday morning," and has had
his eyes open ever since, and is a Demo
crat. He was brother of the late S. W.
P. Boyd, son of Nicholas Boyd, the elder.
His grandfather was Jehn Boyd. His
great-grandfather came from England,
nrnhahlv :ihnnt. t.lin time ntul ns fi fnl lower
of Peun, as he professed the same religion
ras tue pioneer uuaker. juacauiay tells
us that said pioneer's religion was deci
dedly of the "earth earthy," and net a
very first class article of that. But, how
ever susceptible of criticism it may have
been then, we have it te-day, lived in the
lives of seme of our best citizens, as spot
less as itis simple. The great-grandfather
of " Uncle Nickey" was one of the elders
or leaders of Little Britain meeting,
uew called Pcnn Hill meeting. When
a child is born of Quaker parents it is born
a member of the church, and inherits a
ready made passport te heaven, in the
shape of a " birth-right," and the church
exercises a kind et ecclesiastical jurisdic
tion ever its members, iu their actions,
speech and dress, producing such a same
ness in everything belonging te them, that
it almost becomes a fanaticism. The law
of their church they call their "Discip
line," a violation of which by a member
subjects him te expulsion from the church
at its discretion. One of the requirements
of their discipline makes it necessary for a
couple of members anticipating marriage
te lay their intentions before the meeting
for a specilied time before the nuptials are
te be celebrated, that the "meeting " may
consider tiie advisibility of the proposed
union of hearts or fertuues and
our Quakers have both te receive objec
tions if any, aud investigate them, and sce
that every thing is done decently and in
order. If, after pepping the question, and
the answer pepping in unison of course,
the parties te the contract beceme iu a
hurry aud arc net satisfied te wait for the
unsympathetic circuambulatery considera
tion of the meeting, and get married as
ether folks de, they are " waited upon "
by a committee of drab coats and plain
bonnets (all honor te them se long as
there is se much merit beneath them ! )
and they are asked te say they are sorry
that they did uet accede te the demands of
their discipline.
New, ic often conies te pass that the
newly made man and wife are se well
pleased with the job, with each ether,
their prospects of unalloyed future happi
ness, which as they see it thou will "cor "cer
tainly last forever, and the whele world
in general, that it is a moral impassibility
te be sorry for anything connected with
tueir marriage, ami the consequence is,
uicy ten the visiting committee that they
cannot sce that they have done wrong,
and they lese their "biith-right" te mem
bership of the church, and are cast forth
into the great wide, wicked world, leli
gieus wanderers, martyrs te Hymen.
If it is possible for me te be excused for
this most rambling digrcssieu, I will re
turn te Unde Nickey. Jehn Boyd, the
grandfather of "our'here," married Miss
Agnes Cooper, both Quakers, and they
were married in violation of their church
discipline, would uet say they were sorry
and would never de se again, and were
expelled for their ebstinaucy, coming
down te history as the last Boyd Quakers.
After Penu had cast them " off like a
huutcr his pack," and never seemed in
clined te " whistle them back," they fell
in with the Calvinistic hunt and became
geed, true Presbyterians. Nicholas, how
ever, was never a professor, and in relig
ious sentiments is strongly incliued te
Univeraalisru. He is a firm aud practical
follower of Bacchus, advocating the doc
trine that the still 'is the fountain of
youth, and recommending "ad n geed
drunk " for all ills of mind aud body.
Mr. Boyd has always lived near or at the
Susquehanna, and seems as much a part of
it as its rocks and rears. He is one of our
few remaining human links that, reach
ing ever two or three intermediate
generations, joins the past and present,
lie is an authority en local history and
traditions, and genealogical affairs such as
family feuds, failures, triumphs and dis
graces. He is one of our institutions that
is fast passing away and we will miss
him. His gray hairs remind us that the
"hill that is uearest te heaven is covered
with snow," and when Uncle Nickey no
longer wanders along our turbulent river
shore here, he will be happy en the banks
of that ether river, where the amaranth
blooms, and the waters in their flew make
hosannas te the Highest.
Kentucky's Levely Girls.
llluc Lick (Ky.) Cor. or Indianapolis Sentinel.
When the summer season opens at the
Blue Lick Springs, I am told, it is a sig
nal among the society people hereabouts,
te congregate semi-occasional ly for a real
picnic, and it will interest the male per-
and it will
'ion .f yders te learn that a mere
tAnnf trill ISlf- nY ilna Inflinn m a nt wm
beautiful let of young ladies de net meet
en this earthly footstool anywhere than
are seen here at the Frid ly uight neigh
borhood dance. They are fair complex cemplex complex
iened, bright eyed, affable, musical, en
tertaining. The hearts et the Northern
boys are pierced en sight, but the gal
lantry of ye Kentucky youth esteps
rash movements. The young ladies
dress neatly, appropriately. Their cos
tumes are cool aud, the Northern girls
might say old style, conventionally almost,
but there is no mistake about them being
as pretty as unassuming. And the Ken
tucky girls dance prettily, tee. The
racquet is all the rage here new and the
racquette galep the raging selection. They
dance the laucicrs and,'iu fact, all square
dances without calling, while the glide,
the five-step and ether waltzes they pro
nounce "perfectly easy simple, but nice."
The society iu the best portion of Ken
tucky is very geed. Everybody is genial
and the visitor cordially received. The
watering places of Kentucky (and there
are many) being crowded new, all classes
of peeple are seen here.
Heme After 1J Years.
The Return or a Lest Seu Who It Was
Supposed Had Died In the War. ,
5Ir. Zebbins Compten and his wife, of
riainfleld, were astonished en batuiday ey
the entrance into the house of a perseu
whom they quickly recognized as Sylvanus,
their son, who was last heard of by them
nineteen years age aud whom they had
believed te be dead. Sylvanus, before
the war, was a druggist's clerk.
At the breaking out of the war he joined
the navy, being about 21 years of age. He
became attached te the surgical staff, and
in June, 1862, his parents learned, through
a letter from him, that he was en beard a
ship taking seme sick soldiers te New
Orleans. This was the last heard from
him directly ; but they found that he had
landed safely in New Orleans aud had
been seen in that city. Ne further trace
of him could be fenud, and after a few
years had passed it was concluded that he
was dead, and his family gave up hope of
seeing him again.
The returned son tells a remarkable
story of his wanderings. IIe says that
while in New,Orlcans, after arriving there
en the ship from which he wrete his last
letter home, he fell ia with a pleasant sort
of man, who invited him te join in drink
ing a bottle of wine. After this he remem
bered nothing until he was aroused from
the stupor caused by the drugged wiue,
and found himself en beard a slaver at sea .
He escaped from the ship at one pert,
and told his story te the American consul,
but found that that official had already
been warned te ar.'cst him as a deserter
aud send him back. The consul advised
Him te take the ship again, and escape at
seme ether pert where thcre was no
official te arrest him
He next left the
ship at au African pert. ,iml made his

The Hetel Clerk's Diamond.
A very singular accident occurred iu a
Cleveland hotel the ether day. One of the
dining-room girls at the high toned coffee
house of Strive & Sweat, was standing
near the deer talking with the head clerk
of the Clieatcm house. Te shield her
fair face from the sun's rays she made an
awning of her little hand. Among
the bands of geld that encased her
fingers was one containing a solitaire
diamond about the size of a deer knob. A
sun beam struck it and glanced te a cor
responding knob oil the 'ihii-fc freut of the
hotel clerk ; it melted the setting of the
pin and the stone felj. striking the young
man en the left feet, breaking two of his
tees. The bystanders say that before de
scending te his shirt front the reflected
rays from the young lady's ring played
around the young man's cheek, but a
careful examination shows that it left no
trace there of its intense heat.
