The Lancaster County Agricultural and Horticultural association held a stated meeting yesterday afternoon iu their room iu City Uall. The following named members were present : John C.

The president beiug absent James Wood was called to the chair. John C. Linville stilted that Henry M. Engle had informed Iiim that- he hail cor lespondeud with Prof. Thos. M. Edge, of l he state board of agricultute, and that Prof. Edge had consented to deliver a lecture befoto tbo society sit its next stated meetJiig m October. Crop i:eiort. LeviS. Heist, of Oregon, rciirte I that the crops in all sections of Lancaster coun ty were good ; the wheat aud hay had been garnered and produced bountifully ; coin aud potatoes promised equally well, aud even the tobacco, which only a short time :!j?o it was feared would be almost a failure, is turning out unexpectedly good. Within the past ten days it has grown wonderfully ; the leaves are largo aud clean, of good color and apparently good quality. The peach, pcaraud apple crops in his neighborhood aro quite fair, aud taken all iu all, the farmers have to be thankful for as prolific a harvest of all kinds as he has any recollections of. J. Frauk Landis. oi East Lampeter, re ported that there would bo about three fourths of a full crop of corn and potatoes iu his .section ; the late tobacco is growing liuely and will yield much better thau was expected ; apples aro scarce and imper fect, and grapes are rotting ou tho vines. John C. Linville, of Salisbury, agreed that most of 1 ho crops were good, as re piescuted by Mr. Kcist, but in his neigh borhood tho oats was not a good crop. He docs not grow tobacco, but heha:s seen it in his neighbors' iie.'ds,andjacver before saw such au improvement as there has been within tho past ton or iifteeu days. Notwithstanding the long drouth, the grass and clover iiclds look well tbe young clover looking better than he has seen it look within tho past four years. Apples aro diseased aud aro dropping off scarcely a perfect one is to bo found on tho trees. W. E. Paxson, of Oolorain, had never seen tho prospect of tbo corn crop better ; tho clover aud pasture fields also look well, ami tho late rains havo greatly im proved tho tobacco, which looks very well ; apples, with tho exception of the russets, aro dropping off. Johnson Miller, of Lititz, :-aid the late rains havo greatly improved tho corn aad tobacco, and the latter now looks very well ; tho wheat crop was excellent ; tho apples aro rapidly- dropping off; tho lerches are being attacked on the tiee by bees and wasps ; tho grapes aro rotting on tho vines iu some places ; the young clover looks better thau he has ever sceu it at this time-of tho year; somo farmers aro cutting their tobacco, which looks as if it would bo about au average crop. Peter Heishey said ho thought the tobacco in Salisbury was better than that nearer Lancaster, though everywhere there has been wonderful improvement witbiu tho past ten days ; tho corn is healthy, but tho cars arc short ; gracs, timothy and clover look very well ; apples ato scarce aud falling oil', except, tho Baldwin, Smith's Cider and a few others, which contain somo fine fruit; wheat turned out very well and oats poorly. James Wood, of Littlo Britain, said tho wheat was excellent, aud believes tho corn will bo equally good ; of oats there was not moro than half a crop ; his own yielded 21 bushels to the acre ; not many apples aro grown iu his neighborhood, and no jiaachos ; he don't grow tobacco, but sees somo very good crops in the lower end ; the hay was good and potatoes will yield over an average crop. Tako is all in all this is one of tho very best seasons the fanner has ever had, Selcetlnjjaiid Uredlu Dairy Stocx. Mr. W. E. Paxon, of Coleraiu, read the following essay : lu respectful obedier.ee to your loquoit 1 will picsent as bricily as may be some remarks based on tho subject of 'Wleeting breeding and dairy stock." Tho milking qualities of our "domestic cows are to some extent at titiuial, the lesult of judicious caic aud breeding, lu tho natural or wild state the cow yields only enough to uoiir ish her offspring for a few weeks and than goes dry for fccveral months or during the greater part of the year. Theie is there fore a constant tendency lo rovcit to that condition wliieh is prevented only by judi cious treatment, designed to develop and increase the milking qualities so valuable to the human raceif this judicious treat ment is continued through several genera tionsofthe same family or nice ot ani mals the qualities which it is calculated to develop become more or less fixed, and capable of transmission; aud iustcad of being exceptional or peculiar to ait indi vuhtai they become tho permanent oharao tciistiesofa breed. A knowledge of the history of the dillcicnt breeds, aud cspcei ally of tho dairy breeds, is of manifest importance and will aid tho farmer per haps iu making an intelligent huleeliou with reference to tho special object of pursuit. Iu selecting any breed, there- lore, the farmer must select that breed or hesd which is best adapted to that branch of dairying which ho pursues. Auiuti- inato acquaintance with the various breeds of cattle known among us has led us to distinguish the most prominent breeds especially thoso adapted to the dairy; and the importations of these fa mous breeds havo baeu so frequent and 'xteusivo iu the United States within the 1 ist fow years that they arc uow pretty generally diffused over tho country aud within the reach of every farmer. If tho dairyman is selling his milk the cow that will yield tho most milk will bo tho profit able one. If ho is making butter then he must havo a largo yield of cream of tho best quality, no matter what tho How of milk ; aud tho cow that will produce it will bo tho profitable one. How careful then should he ba in his selection, and to breed from ihat stok with the hope of improvement. With tho dairyman the cow is tho machiuo that manufactures tho dairy goods. Thou should ho not bo an careful in selecting his herd of cows as tha manu facturers would bo in selecting machinery to work out his fabrics? And yet tho manufacturer gives greater attention to his machinery than tho dairyman to his herd of cows. Nearly one-third of all tho cows kept by dairymen in the county, produce less milk than will pay their keep. They aro simply a clog upon tho business, and tho sooner thoy aro disposed of tho bolter. Doc3 not this important matter bchooYO every ono engaged in tbo tjajry business to set himself at work in weeding out the Door cows so that they may bo ablo to reap larger products from their dairies? Test each cow Dy nerscit ana sec how many do pay proQt enough to retain them, and get rid of theso small profit ones as soon as possible. It is ncces . sary that wo should endeavor to improve our dairy stock ; and how can tnts dc done? Not surely by indiscriminate crossing. This is why wo have so many mongrel herds, and why so large a sharo of their progeny is so poor. Our object in crossing should bo im provement, and wo ought to know when wo make a cross whether wo aro likely to got it. Wo must bo careful not to in any way deteriorate tho form and health of tho animal, and tho quality of tho milk, as well as not to lessen tne now. as lar as possible it is best to breed our herds from pure blood. A great part of tho art of breeding lies in the principles of judicious crossing, for it is only by attending prop erly to this that success is to bo attained. All eminent breeders know thai ill-bred animals are unprofitable, and the old say ing still holds good that "like begets like." If this bo true, which doubtless it is, then how careful we should be not to breed from an inferior animal ; and I hope tho time is gradually passing away when tho intelligent, practical farmer will be willing to put his cows to any mere runt of a bull simply because his seiviecs may bo had for 25 cents. A calf sired by a pure-bred bull, particularly of a raeo distinguished by firmness of bone, symmetry of form, and early maturity, will bring a much higher price at the samo age thau a calf sired by a scrub. Iu closing, let mo make one remark in regard to tho treatment of our cows. There is au old adage among the Germans that " the cow milks only through her throat." Never was better said. Alas, how many of us forget this, aud instead of Hiving them tho treatment and care which they deserve, thoy aro neglected. The productiveness ot tho cow does not depend on her breed so much as on her food aud management. Proper shelter and good nutritious food should bo provid cd for her during the winter mouths aud then we may expect good results. It is fortunate, indeed, that wiser and more humane ideas prevail with regard to the cave of stock of all kinds, now, than that treatment which it received iu tho early history of our country, when many thousand perished from exposure aud starvation. Aud I hop.; that tho idea which was so prevalent among our farmers once who styied themselves " practical farmers," is thoroughly rooted out never to be practiced again that cows aud young stock should remain out doors exposed to the old wintor days iu order that they might bo toughened ! Is not this an errone ous idea ? No thrifty farmer will subject his stock to such treatment with such au object iu view. Tl-.o Oucstlou Discussed. J. C. Linville thought tho essay much to the point aud furnished much information that would bo of value to tho farmer as well as to tho dairyman. Wo don't pay enough attention to our dairy stock ; tho margin of profit on dairy products is small at best, and tho difference betweon a good and a bad cow is tho diflercnco between a moderate profit and an absolute loss. We should dispose of all cows that do not pay (or their feed ; if wo havo good butter cows we should raise our stock from their calves and not buy our cows from tho West. S. P. Eby thought tho essay contained a number of valuable suggestions. Tho proper- caro ot cattlo is important ; the thoroughbred is, as tho essayist s lys, au artilicial animal and will run back to its natural stato unless judiciously treated and kindly cared for. Wo should devote as much attention to our cows .13 wo do to our horses. The ono should bo curried and kept clean as well as tho other. They should not bo merely well sheltered iu wintor, but their stalls should be kept clean and well ventilated. In answer to'the question as to what is a thoroughbred, Mr. Linvillo said it is au animal that l.as been carefully bred for many generations until its type is lixed whether that type bo Aldcrney, Jersey, Guernsey, Devon, Durham or other breed. Somo of our native cows aro as good or better than tho thoroughbreds, but the difficulty is the type is not fixed, and three times out of four tho ea'ves will not bo of the typo of the cow. Iu answer to another question, Mr. Linvillo said tho. Jersey and Guernsey breeds were much alike, and that no Alderncys aro imported into thi.s'cowntiy. Mr. Paxson said the Guernseys were rather larger thau tha Jcrteys, aud of not quite such fine points or color ; for milk and butter production they aro much alike. He thought farmers should raise their own stotd; from carefully selected bulls and cows. LeviS Heist said that notwithstanding the great advantages resulting from im proved breeds of cattle, Lancaster county farmers havo always been slow in intro ducing them. They stick to the old, common breed::, saying that cattle-raising don't pay anyhow, and that our land is too dear to devote to stock-raising, lie agreed, however, with what tho essayist had said. On motion, the thanks of tho society were voted to Mr. Paxson. Mow to Sceuro lietter Meetings. .Johnson Miller said some plan should ho adopted by which a hotter attendance at tho regular meetings of tho society could be attained. But very littlo progress has been mado in this direc tion during tho past ten years, lie sug gested that if tho meetiugs, instead of bo isig held iu the city every month, were held at the residences of the members in differ ent parts of the county, tho attendance would be much larger and meetings be moro attractive. This plan has bceu adopted by the Octorara Farmers' club, with good renults. lie nail atteimcit one of their meetings at which a largo number of farmers were gathered, aud a pleasant and profitable time followed. Our meet ings are held on Sloiiday, always a busy day, on which those members who do get to town have a great deal of work to do and rarely reach the meeting before half nast two o'clock, aud some of them, to reach homo by the cars, havo to leave be fore the adjournment, as was his casa now. He had no motion to make but asked the society to consider tho sugges tion. S. P. Eby moved that tho consideration of tho matter be postponed until next meeting so that members could havo time to thnk over it. Tho present; meeting was a small one, and it would not be ad visable to act hastily. 31r. Eby's motion was agiced to. Cm tin;; Coru-ro-ldcr lor i'eed. Tho question "will it uot pay the farmer to cut his coin-fodder before feed ing it to his cattle ?" was answered by Peter iiershey, who said that his experi ence was that it did not pay to cut the fodder ; ho had practiced cutting it for several years but had quii it. It is true that tho fodder is moro easily handled when cut and when it finds its way to tho manuro pile it rots mere rapidly and makes shorter manure, but tho labor and expense of catting it overbalances the ad vantages gained. John C. Linvillo said he had a good fod der cutter and used it two or tbrco years and liked it; tho cornstooks have not much nutriment in them, but they help to fill the stomach and will do to eke out a short hay crop ; but the labor of catting the fodder costs more than it comes to, if vou have to hire help to do it : labor is cxpensivo and unless you havo plenty of spare timo of your own ho wonld not rec ommend cutting tho fodder. Streaks in llatter. " What is tbe cause of streaks in but ter?" was answered by J. Frank Landis. He said the streaks resulted from imperfect working aud washing of the butter, and they might be avoided by caro in tin. ro. spect. The butter should be mado ot good cream from good cows, the cream should be at a temperature of 55 or (JO do jjrees when churned, and after being churned should bo carciufly worked so as to remove all tho buttermilk and tbe best quality of salt should be used. Mr. Liu dis read from an agricultural journal a paragraph which substantially agreed with his own views. How to Sow Timothy Seed. " Is it better to sow timothy seed before or after tho drill?" was answered by Levi S. Heist, who said ho would per ft r sowing it after tho drill, and before a fall of rain. Uuliko some other farmers he could Jnot grow timothy from seed sown in tho spring. The Uest Variety of Wheat. " What kind of wheat should we sow this fall ?" was next discussed. J. Frauk Laudis said a majority of the farmers iu his neighborhood who have bceu growing tho Fnltss variety are giving it up aud going back to tbo old Mediter ranean or Lancaster variety, which brings a better price at tho mills than the Fult: wheat. Levi S. Heist said tho farmers in his neighborhood were also giving up the Fultz wheat. In Mount Joy they are introducing a now variety, the nuino of which he had forgotten. Samuel Ilossler has the seed aud it is said to be very pro lilic. James Wood said there would bo very little change of seed in hi 5 neighborhood. The farmers were about ready to give up the Fultz, but it has done so well this year that they are going to give it another trial. There is a new variety being intro duced by somo farmers called tho Hussian wheat, for which $5 per bushel is asked. It was introduced into Lancaster county by New Ynk seedmcu who were so well pleased with it that they bought up for seed all the crops that wero sown. J. C. Linvillo said tho Shumakor wheat, being introduced by some farmers, has red chaff aud red grain, aud is better for milling purposes' than tho Clauson or Fultz ; it stands tho winter hotter than either, but is moro liable to bo attacked by tho Hessian ily ; the straw is tall and liable to lodge. J. Frauk Landis said tho Clautcii did not do well ou heavy soil ; it ripened too late and tho seeds did uot mature as as well as other varieties. Following Corn With Wheat. " What is tho best method of preparing corn ground for wheat ?" Levi S. Heist answered, cut tho corn stubbles off close to tho ground and drill iu the wheat without plowing. J. Frank Landis endorsed this plan : he cultivated his coru as late as August, kopt the ground as level as possible and after tho corn is off drill iu the wheat without plowiug. J. C. Linville said that no answer will apply to all cases. Ho had not succeeded iu raising cood rye or wheat oil coru ground without plowing. His soil is too heavy. Ho would plow tho ground, roll it, harrow it aud roll it again. If the soil is loamy it is not necessary to plow it, but in heavy soils iusido plow by all means. James Wood harrows iu tho -cd with out plowing, but has known both plan:; to succeed and both to fail. Much no doubt depends ou tho soil and the scaso'i. l'orofctry. Levi S. Heist announced that ho had received from tho lieutenant governor of Canada, an invitation to attend tlo For estry convention, aud in connection read from a paper some startling statistics showing the wonderful consumption of wood in tho construction of our i ail roads one fact being that tho tics alone of tho railroads iu the United States if placed end to end would reach lotho iiu.ou and back again. Fruits on Kxlilblllou. j F. H. Diffonderffor, Levi S. Ken-' d I J. Frank Laudis were appointed la c ';- j mittco to test aud report on tbe fruit brought to tho meeting. Their report v.a: as follows : Tho fruit ou'exhibition consisted of one plate of seven peaches, largo in size and fully ripe ; three plates of seedling peaches of tho Seuer variety, all resembling the parent fruit iu general appearance, al though not" quite so large ; tho one mark ed No. 2 was rather better ilavoicd thau tho Scncr itself. All are worth cultivat ing, and are very handsome iu appearand. Those were all exhibited by Daniel Smeych ! of this city. Mr. Smeych also had a plate of Tele graph aud Champion grapes ; very fine in appearance and well flavored. Also, a very largo foreign plum of a iivo yellow color and handsome appearance. S. P. Eby exhibited one of Ilogcn grapes, but not being fully ripe tho par ticular variety is unknown. Also, s mc Bait left pears from a tree planted in 1870; a Bcnoni apple from a tree planted in tho fall of 1875 ; also, a pear of tho Brandy wiuo variety, and somo early Crawford peaches of largo size : also Clapp's Favor itc pears from a tiee planted iu 187.) ; also somo very handsome trumpet llowors of reddish color and growing abundant clus-' tcrs. I Mr. Heist had two seeding apples for name, but your committco aro unablo to pronounce definitely upon this. They are of medium siz?, reddish in color, and of a pleasant taste. They aro very juicy and would make fine cider apples. uorks County Fair. Joseph F.Witmer, Eph. S.
