township.
In the absence of the secretary V. A.
Gast was appointed secretary pre tern.
Jehnsen Miller, from the committee ap
pointed te visit the Yerk county fair, ic ic
perted that he had attended the fair, and
considered it a decided success. While in
Yerk he was shown by 3Ir. Hciges his im
proved drill for sewing wheat. He sews
it iu rows se that there is 14 inches of
wheat and 10 incites of b.nc ground. lie
uses for seed three pecks te the acie, and
raises therefrem from !." te 71 bushels per
acre. It is found thai, by this process of
seeding the wheat dues net freeze out
during cold wcathei. In the spiing he
cultivates it between the rows, with a cul
tivator made especially for the putpe.se.
Mr. Miller said he was confident thctc was
great merit in Mr. Hciges' process.
Henry Kurtz reported that the wheat
leeks very well in the vicinity of Mount
Jey, especially that which had been m sewn
late, and net tee deep. Cern did net pro
duce ever half a crop ; young clever and
grass leek very well.
Cyrus Nclf said the crops in 3Ianer
leek well ; the grass and grain are grow
ing finely ; in some places the wheat had
been lcsccded, but this, jwrhaps, was un
necessary. Jehn II. Landis said that 3Ir. Nell's re
port of the north end of Maner township
would answer as a rcpeit for the west
end, from which he came.
Jehnsen Miller, of Warwick, lepertcd
coin nearly three-fourths of a crop ; farm
ers arc taking down their tobacco ;
the wheat, clever and timothy leek well.
Casper Hillcr said the corn in Concs Cencs Concs
lega was net mere than half or three
quarters of a crop; fruit was rather peer,
apples fell oil' greatly and these that ti
pened did net keep well.
J. Frank Landis said coin tinned out
better in the Lampctcis than was expect
ed, and en examination he found no ily
iu the wheat, which leeks well and is
growing finely. The rain fall in Lampeter
last month was three inches.
Dr. C. A. Gicenc lead the following
essay en insects :
insects,
3Iy distinguished tailor fiiend Mr. S. S.
Halhven has in the last number .of the
Fttrnicr, and several tiinc. before, taken
me task ferasserlingthisspring that many
thousands of insects must have bren killed
by the extreme cold of last w inter. In the
Inquirer of Aug. 20th I found the follow
ing lines, being a pott:en of a long aiticlc,
and I have cut from vaiieits ether papers
similar assertions, proving that ether per
sons airiec with my statement :
iNsr.rr.s ani r.u:i)s'.
" The severe cold of last winter must
have been very destructive te a great
many injurious insects, for en the average
they have net been as numerous as during
former growing seasons."
Mr. liathven is bound te held en te his
opinion and in the last Furma says "severe
and steady cold is favorable te insect hiber
nation." That is, insects ate less liable te
die in their various forms of life, as chrys
alis, grub, or full developed, when exposed
te severe cold weather. The above
is only a repetition of his pre
vious statements. New te set this
matter at test se far as general
or ambiguous statements are concerned,
let him answer thefollewiug questions and
if he cannot, let his pen have a rest en
this subject :
1st. If extreme cold is favorable te the
perpetuation of the life of insects,why wete
se many millions of bees killed last winter
and why is it that all keepers of apiaries
make se matiy clferts te keep the hives
away from severely cold localities 'I
Sd. If his assertions arc true why is it
that se few insects aie found in the Arctic
regions ? and
iA Why is it they arc se numerous in
the tropics where there is no cold or whiter
weather?
4th. Why is it that extreme cold should
kill off trees, shrubx, and almost every
form of vegetable and also animal life ex
cept insects ?
5th. Are net the buttetllics and moths
which occasionally appear in the winter
mouths only exceptions te the general
rale of development of insect life ? and
has net unnatural causes prematurely
brought them into notice. In ether
words, has net the chysalis or cocoon of
the moth (itself composed of a silken
structure that is a non-conductor of heat)
been exposed te unusual heat, net cold,
from the sun's rays ?
Cth. Have you any positive knowledge
that millions of insects were net killed off
by the severe cold of last winter ?
7th. Have you ever made methodical
tests of the amount of cold each form of
insect lite could endure, and hew many
out of ene thousand grubs or moths were
alive after being exposed te any given
temperature, say 10 degrees below
zero ?
8th. Why is it that the largest and
most magnificent beetles and bugs are
found in the tropics or tropical regions '.'
Te give the public in general a fair co -ceptien
of the inability of any man te get
even a limited knowledge of the millians
of insects in the world, let me sy that
Mr. Rathven has been studying them at
his leimire for forty years or mere, and yet
when I gave him a small box of bugs
which I found in a refuse barrel in the
yard of Mr. A. Cogley. A month after
he said in the Farmer that "they were a
new variety and unknown te him.
Scientific nomenclature.
Dr. Grcene also read an essay in which
be took high ground against the use of
scientific nomenclature in botany, especial
ly that part of it relating te agricultuie
and horticulture. lie believed that all
the soiencca could be bet' cr uudcrstoed if
the nomenclature was in plain English,
instead of in dead languages that nobody
spoke and nobody understood. He ridi
iculed the doctors for writing their pre
scriptions in Latin.
Mr. Eby was astonished te find se in
telligent a gentlemen as Dr. Greene ad
vance such narrow-minded seutimeuts.
All scientists, the world ever, have agreed
upon the necessity of a scientific nomen nemen
clatnte in the dead languages, Greek and
Latiu, because these languages never
change, and by the use of a single scien
tific nemcnclatuie, the botanists, chemists,
mineralogists and all ether scientists in all
paits of the wmld. arc placed upon a com
mon footing, and can readily communi
cate with each ether, no matter what
land they live in or what language they
s-pcak.
3Ir. Hillcr fully agreed with 3Ir. Eby,
and he also agieed with all that Dr. Rath
eon had said in reply te Dr. Greene's ar
gument that cold weather killed the eggs
of insects. Notwithstanding the extreme
cold of last winter, we had mere cabbage
worms and caterpillars than had ever
been seen before in this county.
3Ir. Engle conceded the necessity of
having a single standard for scientific
names, but thought it would be of great
value te fat met s and fruit growers if a
dictionary weie published containing both
the scientific and common names of limits
and vegetables.
Wintering Stock.
"What is the best method of wintering
stock ?" was a question that had been re
ferred for answer te I). W. Graybill. He
advocated the selling of all peer sleck, se
as te get it out of the way before winter
set in. Te the stock be kept he would
feed hay, chaff and cut cortifedder. He
was net prepared te recommend the scald
ing or steaming of cut feed, but he would
moisten it with water and would give the
cattle plenty of fresh water te drink.
Mr. Ned' theguht scalding the feed
would de no geed. He would rather wet
it with cold water in warm weather, and
with waim vatcrin cold weather.
3Ir. Englc t-aid there was a wide differ
ence of opinion among stock-raisers as te
the picparatien of the feed and the hous
ing of stock iu winter. Seme steam the
feed and some don't. Seme who have
tiicd steaming have abandoned it, and
ethers continue it as being a great benefit.
Fer his own pait he be hcved that these
who did net steam the feed generally
turned out their stock in better condition
in the spring, but te de se, they wcre
obliged te feed a geed deal mere grain
and have mere trouble in watering their
stock than these who steamed the feed.
Cel. Yeung, of Elizabethtown, who is
icgardcd as; one of the best, as he is ene
of the largest, stock feeders in the state,
stables and feeds w ith steamed feed all the
cattle kept by him en his 700 aero farms,
and he hoots the idea that steaming feed
don't pay.
Dr. Gicenc believed in warm feed and
warm quarters for cattle and hogs, and
all ether kind of animals. The tempera
fuse or the stomach is 08 degrees and the
iemperatum of water in winter net much
above :!.'. Celd water taken into the stom
ach step-; digestion until it has attained
the tcmpcr.ituic of the stomach. Te make
cattle tin ivc they must have warm feed
and warm quarters.
S. 1. Kby asked whether rabbits, par
ti idges ami oilier game weie net in much
better condition in the winter than in the
summer '. And did net men also generally
take en ile.sh in cold weather, especially
these nienwhe were out doers agieat deal ;
while people who live indoors in ever-heated
apaitinentsaie mere liable te sickness-.
Piesidcnt Witmcr asked whether it. was
afaet that pirtiidgcs, rabbits, ifcc, wem
iu as geed condition in the spring as in
the fall, lie did net believe they weie,
nor did lie believe that cattle lclt outdeois
would de as well as if they were, comfort
ably housed, lie said that Wcstei u cattle
raiseis acknowledged that the cattle did
better housed than when unsheltered, but
that the difference thus gained was net.
enough le compensate for the extra e
pense of housing and feeding.
Mr. Engle said that in feeding stock
farmcis should use moie roots than they
aie iu the habit of doing. Carrots, sugar
beets, mangels and ether roots are cheaply
grown and are of great value as feed.
Large I'rult.
Mr. Gtaybill called attention te a dwarf
pear lice dn his picmises, which had borne
a single pear during the past season, that
weighed one pound and six ounces, and
measured thittcen inches in circumference.
3ir. Engle presented, in the burr, speci
mens of improved chestnuts:, gtewn by
him en a grafted tree the graft being
proem ed from 3Ir Shelter, of Philadelphia,
and grafted en a Spanish stock. The t.uts
were two or Unco times as large, and
quite as sweet as the common chestnut.
Mr. Kngle also presented line specimens
uf the Liwicnce pear.
Mr. Hillcr piesenled specimens of per
simmons as large or larger than hulled
walnuts. Tlicywcic grown from a graft
of a tiec belonging te 3lr. Rogers, East
King street, this city.
3Ir. Hiller also picscnted a veiy large
ami beautiful potato of the 3Iamtneth
Pcatl vatiety. Notwithstanding the un
usual thought that picvailed during the
past season he had gtewn at the late of
144 bushels te the acre. He planted en
the 21st of May, applied phosphate lib
erally and cultivated frequently.
Dr. Giecne presented several stocks of
Russian eats, grown in western New
Yeilc. The straw was six feet in length,
and the heads contained from 50 te 100
grains each. The yield was from GO te
00 bushels te the acre. The common
vaiiety of eats grown in the same field
and treated in every way in the same man
ner grew less than thtce feet in height,
contained less than half as many grains te
the head and yielded less than half as many
bushels. Dr. Greene believed the Russian
eats would de equally as well in Laucas-
ter.
llauku tur the Liurnry.
3Ir. Engle presented for the library a
bound copy of the 3Iichigan Pomelogieal
society's annual report for I860, and
copies of the quarterly reports of the
state beard of agricultuie.
1SUMUC4S for Next Meeting,
After a very discussive debate en the
