Under a suspension of the ntlcs Hen. Samuel Miller, of Misseuii, Connelly of Lebanon county, and an experienced finit raiser, whose picscnce was noted, was invited by vote of the society te address the meeting. Mr. Miller .said he had nothing te say except te cxpicss his satisfaction at being among old friends. He could net teach these piesent much about farming or ft nit cultuie. The Mis souri farmci shad been unfortunate with grapes owing te the tot but would tiy again. Mr. Miller was invited te take pari in tlie discussions. 1'iiHt Cultine. Mr. Casper Hillcr eiTeicd the following lepeit fiem the committee en naming fiuit, which was icad, accepted and the committee discharged : Kcpart 1 Trull Committee. Although Lancaster county has vc-y many varieties of choice funis, it is by no means an easy task for any one te make a special list ier ethei.s te plant. Your com cem com mittee takes it for gianted that the list asked for is one for home use, and as sonic kinds appear te de better in some localities than in etheis, and this is even sometimes tlie case en adjoining farms, your commit tee cau Ce no better than te name such varieties as have agencial lcputatien for pieducthcnes?, quality, etc. This list will, no doubt, be quite tee large for I he gcncial planter, but he will net go far wrong in making his selection according te season.

Tlie planter c mnet. however, be loe eftcniemindedth.it he can by observing what varieties arc best in hi own neigh borhood make out a list for himself, that vrillproemeic valuable than any that cau be made by etheis. In explanation of this lcpeitMr. Engle added thatthetc were varieties of fiuit besides these named, which had net been fully tested, but, which vvcie meritorious and might after some experience be added te the list. Mr. Cooper ciulei-ed and commended the lepeit asa whole. Crep ItcjMirli. HeniyKuitz, of Ml. Jey, repotted the wheat better than had been expected ; clever reasonably geed ; tobacco en the whole as geed as last year, a lighter yield but better quality, net injuied by Ilea or grasshopper ; some tobacco cut three weeks age was curing poeily ; little had sullercd from hail and some might yet be helped by tain ; the buycis were active and a man named iiakcr, near Eliabethtewn, had sold from the Gress f.um his crop in the field at '.Ti, 12, 7 and 3. Jehnsen Miller, of Warwick, lcpertcd wheat three-fourths crop, corn a half, potatoes short, scarcely a half ct op, and tobacco shei t, but curing well and selling at hitrli nriccs in the field, from 20 te :0 cents atennd being offered. Mr. J. F. Landis, of Erst Lampeter, re potted the yield of wheal at Hern 12 te 20 bushels; corn a two thuds crop and the later cultivated the better ; clever has suf fered from the dieuth ; late potateps a failure, though the early crop had been successful, gathering 120 bushels from of an acre ; tobacco irregular ; pears anil grapes piemising ; rainfall for the month live-eighths of an inch. Frem East Denegal Mr. Kngle reported wheat, corn and potatoes each abeitta three-fourths crop ; the early potato crop very geed, the late potatoes scant, but there weie plenty of potatoes in the country and uoyecovsion for them. te be very high ; theclever, se premising a month age, had completely dried down and the premised tine fall pastures were net te be seen. He had found the cariy Ohie potato au excellent variety. Mr. Calvin Cooper, of I5iid-in-IIand, called attention te the enormous yield en the plum trees of Ames Eckmau, of Para disc. They were leaded down with line fiuit and from a bough two feet tin ec inches in length he took 20 perfect plums. Mr. Engle said it was curious te observe hew the yield of plums varied in ditTcicnt 1 localities. In "i erk county it seemed easy te grew them. The apples had premised fairly, but the dreuth had caused them te drop. The rainfall for July was 1 7-1G and August 11 10, and in the latter month there wcre 10 days in which themcrcuiy was up te from 90 te 100 and ever. Mr. D. W. Graybill, of East Ilcmpfield, reported no rain for weeks ; seme people would scarcely get their seed corn ; this was partly due te tee thick planting and lack of cultivation ; thin planting is the best ; wheat will bs a three-fourths crop ; tobacco mostly geed, and the greater part of it already sold in the field at from 13 te 23 around. Creps en Hiram Ilcrshcy's farm had been sold te Kerbs & Spicss at 23 ami 20 ; and a grower had refused 27, 10 and 5 for his ; Ilershey had been otter etter ed 20 around for his and wouldn't take it. There was only one place where peaches had borne ; sonie orchards have plenty of LANCASTER, PA. TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 6. 1881. apples : Mr. G. had planted a new and ex cellent variety of potatoes, yielding se early as May UO ; he will distribute some for seed among the society ; early potatoes plentiful and the late crop peer; grass fields dry and bare ; plums abundant ; to bacco very variable. Casper Hillcr, of Conestoga, reported very dry weather ; nearer the river there had been mere rain than close te the city, aud for the first four or five miles in the Maner, some of the finest lands, which had missed the 7th of August rains, had the peet est corn ever seen an them. Rain fall for August, 1 C-3 inches ; three-fourths crop of corn, say GO bushels te the acre ; apples falling ; pasture scarce. Hen. Samuel Miller, for the information of the society, leperted that he had tested the " Basset American " plum claimed te be curculie proof and it had been riddled with cur cuhe. Hen. Jehn II. Landis, of Maner, report ed the wheat better than a half crop aud of superior quality, making fine Heur ; eeru. lather peer ; no fruit but apples ; tobacco better in Maner than ever the county generally ; Ecnj. S. Kline, a grow er, had stripped the leaves from a single stalk and they measured G3 feet in length and 37 in width ; raiscis wcie getting fiem 20 te 20 around. Mr. Jno. C. Limill, Salisbury, leperted the crops peer ; plowing very dillicult, tobacco would average 1,000 pounds te the acic ; wheat from 7 te 2 1, averaging 1 1 bus. ; stiaw geed ; corn exceedingly peer and unprcccdentedly light crops ; much of it cut out at the start ; early apples and early potatoes geed ; no pastuie ; heavy tains and destructive hail neith of Salis bury en Saturday. Mr. James Weed, Little l'ritain, mere lain in the lower end; coin an average ciep; itiit burned en one side; little or no lain for tin ee weeks. Retelling le tobacco curing Mr. Jehnsen Miller recommended that sheds be shut in daytime and opened at night. Mr. Gray bill confirmed this, except that in damp weather they might be opened in day time. Referring le plum culture and its vari ableness Mr. Hcnsel said that for years when they weie net te be had elsewhere plums had been successfully raised iu Upper Diuuiere, Providence aud Mai tic townships. He had seen two tiees, in all lespects apparently alike and subject te the same exposure en the premises of I. II. Kaull'man, Meuntvillc, one of which beie abundantly and the ether had none ; Mr. K, attributed the dillcrencc te the fact that during blossoming the prolific tree had becniegulariy shaken every day, the ether one had net been disturbed. Mr. Engle said that was a hard nut te crack. Shaking when the fruit was set might make a dillerencc, but net iu the flowering. Running a barrow violently against the trees anil catching the drop ping faulty fruit in a sort of inverted unr bielia, miht overcome the curculie ; no doubt it could be mastered if properly at tended te. The plum can be grown if due caic is taken, but in many places the cur cur culeo does net. seem te annoy Mie grower ; at the feet of the ineuntnins, in Blair county, for instance. Mr. Graybill highly recommended the " Kansas Red" variety of plum, the seed of which he get fiem Kansas. Mr. Miller, of Missouri, said the ' Wild Geese' plum was net cuicnlie proof ; he had been successful against pear blight by burning tar under the trees ; seme of his ncigbers raised a bushel te the tree en dwarf peais in rocky ground ; ene farmer had 00 bushels of apricots. i:xi7oety. M. J. Trcacy, veterinary surgeon, new of this city, and late of the Londen Royal College of Veterinaiy Surgery, read the fol fel low iiig essay en "Veterinary Surgery,'' for which he was voted the thankn of the society : Owing te recent rumors, of another out eut bieak of hoise epizootic, fiem various parts of the country, I propose te give you a short account of this plague, with some of its symptoms and also its treatment in its milder forms, but when it assumes a grave aspect, by complicating any vital structures, then the attendance of a vet erinaiy surgeon becomes necessary. This disease is variously termed epi epi epi zoety, typhoid iullucn,a, catarrhal fever, lung lever uy dillerent autneis, ami, owing te the put of the system iu which the specific poison locates itself, it was fust, named influenza in Italy, being thcie attributed te the iiillticuce of the stais. II may be defined as a febrile dis ease, attended with gi cat prostration of sliength, debility and cariy inllammatien of the nasal, laryngeal or bronchial mucous passages, gencially complicated with irri tibility of the digestive mucous mem branes often implicating the substance of the lungs, pleura, liver, stiucturcs of joints, tlie fibrous tissues of the hcait, muscles, tendons and the collective tisMte in vari ous .pails of lifts body. The causes aie numerous and dillicult le define, being zcucrallyebscuic. It may e' -in-spontaneously, at all times and all seasons of the year, liem .sudden atmospheric changes, exposure loceld, bad ventilation, crowded damp, filthy, illy-ventilated stables, bad drainage, neglect, bad feed, overwork, in fact any of these causes which by debilitat ing the system renders animals mere sus ceptible te its attacks . Epizootic appeared as far luck in histo ry as the year 12ill, in Spain, destroying thousands of horses, and in 1GI8 it dcc: mated the horses of the French army -then in Germany, and in JS71-2 it broke out with fury in the English metropolis. Dur ing its outbreak there I assisted in treat ing ever two thousand cases. With the American outbreak, commencing in To Te To reuto, Canada, October 1872, we aie all mere or less familiar, as it spread ever this continent in an iucicdibly sheit time, de stroying thousands of animals en its way te 1 cw Yerk, which it reached in twenty days. Some of the following symp toms depending en the location of the disease, are gencrally present. The morbid material, or poison, ab sorbed iute the bleed, gives rise te great fever and nervous depression, the period of incubation or latency is short. The spe cific poison seen locates itsell in seme part of the Kvstem. In fact, no organ in the animal frame secm3 exempt from its attack. Its primary symptoms are usually chills or rigors, elevation of pulse and tcm peratuic, great weakness, particularly of the loins and hind limbs, less of appetite, cold extremities, constipation, thirst, gen , eral stiffness and unwillingness te move, coughing, sneezing, dtscharge from the nose, inflamed eyes, het mouth, unsteady movements, depressed head, dropsy, rapid emaciation, hurried breathing, and some times colic, indicative of intestinal irrita tion. The simple form, owing te maltreatment chiefly, is often complicated with lesion of the lungs, stemacii, liver ami sometimes crrdiug in rheumatism, involving the flexor tendons below the knees, or heck, causiug severe lameness, net readily yielding te medical treatment. Heises are net generally atlacked mere than once in a season, and if properly treated it is net a fatal disease generally, but old, heavy, badly-constitutieucd. ever worked horses, or these affected with res piratory troubles very often succumb. General treatment consists in geed nurs ing through the febrile course, comfortable clothing te the body and bandages te the limbs, warm washes, boiled eats, linseed, fruits, such as apples, carrots, corn, grass, boiled potatoes, a plentiful supply of cold ' water te drink, always within reach, inhalations of warm vapor, warm stable, geed bed, clean liness and plenty of pure air without ex ex ex posuie te drafts, the mere complicated lerms of which attack the vital structures, requiring the attendance of a skillful sur geon. The bad results of an attack of thi s plague, especially when badly attended te, are often disastrous, such as hydrotherax, chronic nasal discharge, chronic cough, thickened wind, dropsy, glanders, farcy and rheumatism. One word of caution : Avoid empirics, or quacks. Treat your horse yourself, and trust te nature sooner than employ one of them. They gcneially de harm by inter meddling. Referred questions Answered. In answer te the lcfcired question, "What is the yearly value of a cow's milk as feed for calves and pigs ."' Mr. J. F. Landis, of E.

Mr. Engle said he was especially glad the last subject had been relciicd te, as farmeis were tee often indilTerenl te the quality of the'pteducl of their cows. Scp Scp ai.ite churnings weie a geed test, of com se ; the crcaniemetcr was iu efficient use by some farmers ; cream differed widely iu strength and value. Mr. Landis had noticed by tx'paiate churnings great difference, tee in the color and firmness of the butter from different creams. President Witmcr remarked the differ ent lengths of time required by different creams te bring butter. Generally the longest churning made the most butter, lleht Method of Selecting Seed Cern. This question being proposed for discus sion, Mr. Ililler suggested that the best time te pick out seed corn was before it was cut off, the time of its ripening could then be noted. lie himself had changed his mind about the dcsiiability of many eais te the stalk. Mr. Liilvill thought the best time te pick out the seed cars was when the corn was being shoveled into the crib and the eais could all be seen. He believed that one car te the stalk was desirable. Mr. Miller selected seed cars for sugar corn en the stalk. Mr. Engle liigfiS the selection of well well leuuded and full cats at each end, with small cob. Mr. Linvill agreed thai cars with the cob small and well-cevcied with long, deep grains, were the best. It was haul te find these in long cars. Varieties of coin that tin net sucker should be always planted. Mr. Sineych had raised four rows of coin, eu icet 111 lengin, en neany every stalk of which there were six cars, 12 inches long. llie ' Kieller " l'ear. Mr. Kmcych inquired about the health of this variety of tree. Mr. Hillcr had them of two yeais giewth, healthy in leaf and limb; he thought the disease en. Mr. Smeych's trees, te which his notice had been called, was net blight. Mr. Sineych and Mr. Enrlc thought it Was. Mr. Linvill and Mr. Miller reported tes timony that the Kieffer was net blight proof ami in taste was a rather inferior fiuit. Itcperl et the Comnilttes 011 Fruits.

The matter of paying premiums te Miss M. Keller, Mrs. W- E. Ilcitshu and W. A. Hcinitsh, exhibitors at the late exhibi tion who had net received them, was pest pened until next meeting. President Witmcr, Peter S. Rcist and Jehn C. Linvill were appointed a com mittee te represent the society at the secietv at the Berks ceanty fair ; and Jehn II. Landis, James Weed and Calvin Cooper at the Oxford fair. The following referred questions were proposed for the next meeting, te no an swered by the gentlemen named respec tivclv D. W. Graybill : " In the absence of usual crops of long feed (hay, cornfedder, &c), what is the best substitute "and hew should it be prepared Jte carry our stock in geed condition through tlie preuauie long winter?" .Calvin Coeper: "What are the best methods et keeping apples for winter and spring nse ?' Jehn C. Linvill : "What Is the best way of keeping seed corn ?" Adjourned. The Tobacco Marfcet. Thclfoein for the New Ctep Continuing. In the preccdings of the regular month ly meeting of-our local agricultural society there will be found a very marked streak of tobacco news. The reports from every section of the county regarding this great staple of our local products are substanti ally te the same effect. The crop has been cut by hail at different points, but this only iu spots and le no great decrease of the total production. The early plant has been mostly cut and housed, and though unsuccessful curing is re ported from a few quarters it is net gen eral, and en the whole the prospect of a successful preparation of the crop for the maiket is geed. Last year's trouble of flea-bitten tobacco threatens no recurrence. The greater portion of the tobacco crop has undoubtedly suffered severely from drought, and though reports vary as te the extent of this among the growers all agree that the average weight of the yield will be nearly one-third less than a full crop makes te the acre. Frem many sections 1,000 pounds per acre is all that is expected. The rains or last Saturday were general and refreshing. Tlrey caught one-third of the tobacco cut oil" and another thinl beyond the power of much help ; te another thitd of late planting they may yet prove of mere or less benefit. It must net be forgotten that the qual ity of the !81 crop premises well and al ready commands prices that will in part relieve the growers from losses iu the quantity of the yield. When the most successful growers figure en 000 per acre it is manifest that there is a great deal in the crop te compensate the grower, and when 15 cents around is a common price iu the rcpoitef sales, even at 1,000 pounds per acre there is no reason for the abandonment of tobacco culture ia Lan caster county. Mr. Burke, of the Tobacco Leaf, who was lately here te see the growing crop himself, writes at length te his paper of the outlook for it, quoting largely from the reports in the local prints which he commends as reliable. He noticed the furor among the buyers for the new crop and sajs it is neinsauity but a cool-headed business operation, with its risks te be suie, but hew can buyers get what they want without taking seme risks ? " All the buyers whose operations are record ed are clear headed men and knew exactly what they are about. It is useless te admonish them thai in buying tobacco in the field they arc incur ring great risks. They knew they arc doing se, but are willing ft) fake all the chances for the sake of securing choice goods. Ner is it weith while te plead for manufacturers en whom the burden of extravagaut prices must ultimately fall, since some of the most prominent of them are among the eager purchasers at this time. It is unfeitunate forbetli dealers and cigar manufacturers that the cost of desirable leaf is te be enormously increased, but se is it unfortunate that such leaf is te .be seai co. The trade must accept the sit uatien with as geed grace as possible and de the best that can be done in an emer gency.'' On the whole a better feeling exists bo be tween raiscis aud buyers than iu any previous season when there was anything like the same display of eagerness as new for the growing ciep. The farmers are willing te sell at geed prices and euly here and there one of a speculative turn is willing te held en, waiting for " mere, mere." And the buyers are bound te have it. as one mty infer when from 13 te 20 ""all around' are the niling prices.
