The Lancaster Ceuuty Agricultural and Horticultural society met ia their room in the city hall yesterday afternoeu at S o'clock. The following members were present : Messrs. H. M.

Jehn I. Carter, and that that gentleman had prom prem ised te appear before the society at its next meeting and deliver a lecture en creameries. r.may en Cam. Casper Ililler presented te the seciuiy a bteck of white corn, bearing tw line cars, and then read the following essay : I show here a few cars of eru, a varie ty that was said te have originated in Russia, for which extreme eailiness and gicat productiveness were claimed. It was alterwardd said that the -'fellar'' that sold the corn at 23 csnts an ounce was a brother te the tree acnt, that he was a sharper, that he sold te us Pennsyl vania Dutch the product of our own fields at a slight advance ia price. Be that as it may,, the corn is net noted for especial earliuess, and 1 think will net exceed borne of our choice varieties in productiveness, bat it is nevertheless a nice corn, and be sides I de net recognize a Pennsylvania variety in it. But my object iv writing is net the merits or demerits of this varie ty. 1 want te say something, briefly, about the mode of planting and cultivating this plot of ground. Ic contained oue fourth acre, and as the seed was scarce, the drills weie made four feet apart, and the seeds were dropped singly also four feet apait. The plot was cultivated (level cultuic) at frequent intervals until the corn was in tassel. Result About fifty bushels te the acre. Fifty bushels is net much of a crop, but when we contrast this crop, raised en less than 3 000 stalks per acre, with the crop usually raised en 10.009 stalks per acre in our ordinary farming, it i3 somewhat re markable. It becomes very evident that the small number of plants mentioned produce near ly as many bushels.per acre as the larger number, that there is a right mean some where between, te produce bsst results. Frem my own observation I am led te think that if the plants had been set two feet apart in the drills (twice the number of plants) the average result per plant would have been but little changed. A vote of thanks wr.s given t) Mr. ilil ler. At the suggestion of the chair tue secre tary read an article from the Jlurul Ner Yerker, entitlcd Unpalatable Truths," the general tenor of which is te the cllect that farmers, as a class, are te apt te drudge after geld and make drudges of their sons and neglect the mero important matter of developing the intellect and fitting themselves and their sous for higher uses than mere manual labor. As a cousequenco farm houses have few at tractions and j eung men ara au::ieus te get away from them. Cheesing au Occupation, C. L. Hunsccker read the following es say en " Cheesing au Occupation." It is but seldom that men are se well acquainted with themselves, or disposed te judge impartially concerning their own qualifications, as te choeso that station in which they may appear tj the most ad vantage." If we but knew at an cany age wiiai our capacities wee, and inclinations for business, suitable te our station in life, there would be fo-.yer lameutable failures te chronicle. In a ceuntiy like ours, the various pur suits in which men are engaged, open up occupations for all classes and condition:-. Tnus the most stupid person may find em ployment suited te his capacity. Parents, if observant, would hava great oppertuni ties te see what inclination their sons ex hibit at an early age, and encourage them in an occupation ler which they show a partiality. It is right that parents should take very great interest in their sons, and should like te see them succeed ia whatever they undertake te de. But, as few are born great, a few beceme great, and many mere lail entirely, and are unknown te fame. The next best thing for parents te de, is net te try te make a Webster of a physi cally and mentally weak seu, but let him cheese an occupation for which he is fitted by nature, habits and education. Fennsylvaula Dutch." Mr. HunBeckcr read also the following paper en "Pennsylvania Dutch :" 1 have had my attention called te an article from the Buffalo Courier, entitled the " Pennsylvania Dutch." This term Pennsylvania Dutch is a misnomer. Very few of the 300.000 peenla in central Penn sylvania who are stigmatized as "Dutch " trace their ancestry te Helland, but te Switzerland and Germany, and are mere properly Pennsylvania Germans. It is, no doubt, news te the inhabitants of Lancaster, Yerk, Berks, Lebanon, Le high, Bucks and Dauphin counties te be told that they live in the very heart of its eldest and highest civilization, and yet are almost cntire strangers te the English language. Feur-fiftbs of the people, this profound observer alleges entirely ignore the English language amongst thcmselves, and further that in many communities the English speakiug traveler will scaiccly find any ene te whom he can niake him self understood, certainly no woman. Peer benighted travelers can't find even a woman te talk with. This is really tee bad. But hear him out. These people are what aie known as Pennsylvania Dutch. They have no written language, their speech being a dialect. Wonderful aiscovery. A great number of the people he says are bitterly opposed te their children learning te speak English, and if allowed te go te Bchoel at all, it is te a private ene, with a Dutch teacher. Any ene who knows any thing of the Pennsylvania school system, must brand these assertions as absurd. Again, he says an English traveler we take the writer te be, for no German speak ing person would make the remark will find that he is looked upon with half sus picieus curiosity as an interloper from a foreign country. This is net the case The hospitality of the Pennsylvania German is well known and appreciated. The only persons who come among them that are treated with suspicion and contempt are bummers, egotists and fault finders. The article from the Courier closes as fellows : "The native Hellander, be he either of high or low Dutch origin, can no mero understand the people here than can the ordinary American. As a rule, they are net an agreeable people te mingle with, either in business dealings or in social intercourse. Ignorance, selfishness and greed are their governing traits." Net a very complimentary picture. A very unfair criticism of a class of people who are noted for their iudustry and worth as citizens of the great state of Pennsylvania. A vote of thauks was given Mr. Huu secker. Calvin Cooper, who had lead the article which Mr. Huusecker had criticized, was glad te see that Mr. n. had taken up the cudgels and exposed its many glaring false hoods and inaccuracies. Cattle Pewderit. Henry M. Engle, te whom at the last meeting of the society had been referred for answer the question : " Is it ad visable te use constantly the se-called cat tle powders ?" answered affirmatively. He said he used several "kinds of cattle pew der with great regularity. His favorite pow der was that which he get from the griht mill cam powder ; and ha used a geed deal of the powder he get from the flour ing mills bran. Oat meal is als a geed powder for cattle ; se is cotton seed meal. These are about the only p3wders Iib has had occasion te use, and he uses them lib erally ; he never had osisabien te buy a pound of powder from the druggists. J. II. Laudis asked .Mr. E-ile if he fol lowed the same piactica with his horses, and Mr. Eagle answered that he did. Substitute for Ut3. " What crop would be most profitable te substitute for eats or corn stubble ?" was the question referred at last meeting te Jehnsen Miller for answer. Mr. Miller said he did net knew the question was re ferred te him, and was net, therefore, prc paied te answer, as he had given the bub ject no thought. Peihaps tobacco would be as geed a substitute as any ether, but he could give a luller answer if the soc;ety would indulge him untill the next mect- ing. Casper Ililler said that clever would be the most valuable substitute for eats if it were net for the uncertainty of its growth. Unfortunately we de net get a geed crop of clever efteuer than ouce in four or live ; it is almost as uncertain as eats. Cyrus 2seif regarded rye as an excellent substitute for eats en corn stubble. His plan is te cut off the corn and stack it in rows, and sew the rye between the rows. The rye cau be used either for green fod der for the cattle, or can be allowed te mature and be harvested, in which case the grain and the straw always command geed prices. Jehnsen Miller agreed with Mr. Ned as te the value el rye, but gemrally it is tee late before the corn is cut off te sew the seed. Mr. Neil' replied that he had sewed rye as late as October 24th, and get a first rate crop, and one of his naighbers had sewed in November and get an excellent crop. Mr. Eugle endorsed what Mr. NelT had said rye could be profitably pastured, or cut green for fodder, or be let mature and then be harvested. He added that corn stuble ground might also be profitably put in potatoes. There is always a de mand for them at remunerative prices. In view of what had been said en the subject Jehnsen Miller withdrew his re quest for further time te consider it. Ifc had been already sufficiently discussed. tVatleu.il Conventions. Mr. Miller added that he had received a circular from the U. S. commissioner of agriculture, in which it is stated that that officer had called three conventions te meet in Washington, and he hoped they would be largely attended by representa tives of the farming, stoekbrccding and cotton growing interests. The first will meet in the agricultural department at Washington, en Tuesday, "'id of Januarv, and coutimie in session two days. It will be devoted te discussing questiens of general interest te agriculturists. The second will meet en Thursday, January 23, and will discuss the subjects of breed ing horses, cattle and swine. The third convention will meet en Monday, 29th of January, and be devoted te the culture and trade in cotton. Mr. Miller thought it would be well te have the Lancaster so ciety represented in the eonveution of the 23 J inst. On motion, Jolnneu Miller and M, D. Kcudig were elected delegates te aaid en ventien. l-.Icctlen of Ofilccrs.- The society proceeded te tue nomina tion and election of officers for the ensu ing year. Ifwas announced that Presi dent Witmer, who .vas absent, declined being a candidate for re-election.

Mr. Engle presented te the society's library bound volumes of the Michigan Horticultural society's annual report for 1881, and the annual report of the Ohie state beard of agriculture for 1881. Alse, for distribution among members, copies of the quarterly report of the Pennsylvania beard of agriculture, and circulars con taining the results of analysis by the state chemist, of the various commercial fertil izers sold iu the state. The chair appointed the following named delcgates te attend the meeting of the state Horticultural association, which is te meet at Harrisburg en Thursday, the 18th inst : Calvin Cooper, J. C. Linville, F. R. Diffenderffer and James Weed. M. D. Kendig, treasurer, presented hi3 annual report, which was referred for ex aminatien te a committee consisting el Calvin Cooper and Jehnsen Miller, who re ported that they found it correct the re ceipts for the past year being $212.el ; the expenditures, $17.25 ; and the balance in the treasury $195.06. A bill from the Examiner for printing done in 18S0 was presented, and en motion its consideration postponed until next meeting, the secretary being instructed te examine into the circumstances and re port, S.P.
