In the uIjmiiiue of the jircsiiJent, Vice
I'reHlduut II.M. Kojjle was called te the
chair.
Crep Krpeitt,
Casper Wilier, of Conestoga, reported
that the uraln looked remarkably well ;
the npprehcuiietiH entertained u month
nt'.e that it had been injured by the heavy
cnvciliiK of ice ami snetf, iimler which it
liail 1 tin he letitf, had proved uieundleas.
The clever ilulds, howevur, had been
ureatly Injured by the mlcu. Ue had net
uiadoaveiy careful o.t.innnaMeii of thu
peach build, but did net think tnoie than
eiiu in seven was injured, while of some
hardy varieties net mere than oue in thirty
was injured. The lewcht point ic.ichid
by the liieicdiy tas tlitee degrees below
ze te.
Calvin Coepor, of ISitd m-IIaiul, said
the wheat leeks a.1 well as he lias uver
heen it leek under se heavy a body of ice
mid biiew. The late titerm, he thought,
had de n 0 it no Injury. The clevor has
been a Reed deal damaged by tnice. The
peach buds leek plump, ami although he
had net examined them, he thought they
would ceme out all right. Tlie mercury
almost reached zero.
Jeseph P. Vltiiier,ef Paradise, uioed
with the ether fipcakeis as te the condition
of the wheat and clevor. The farmers in
his ueighbotheod nre ougaged shipping
tobacco, very ltttlu et which has yet been
sold ; a few sales wero made early in tlie
season, but since thou very few buyers
have been around, though tliere is a geed
deal of geed tobacco in the uoighberhood
Jehnsen Miller, of Warwick, agreed
with what had been said, the wheat being
especially line ami the tobacco fair ; he
favored the use of Havana seed the coming
season, and hoped henm oue who has had
cxjioncnce iu cultivating it would appear
belore the society and give ether growers
the benefit of his experience.
Win, II. liresiUH, of Dmniore, said that
the report tuade by Mr. Ullier would
answer very well for Orumore township
ami the whele lower cud of tlie county.
Jehn O. Mnville, et Salisbury, concurred
lu what had been said regarding the crops,
except as te tlie peaches : Iu his notch netch notch
berhood he beheved all the buds had been
killed by the cold weather. Ue has forty
trees and had been tiuabie te Had u bud
that was net killed.
Uenry M. tingle, of Marietta, said all
the buds en his peach trees wero weather
killed. The mercury during the lirht cold
spell fell from 0 te 8 dugrees below zero,
which is suflloient te kill peauhes. Other
fruitB are probably safe, and en the Yerk
county side of the river the peaches also
are ptebably sale. He never knew the
Held tnice te be s bad as they have been
the prcstnt winter ; the clever fields are
badly cut up by them and many Osage
hedges almost totally mined. One lonely
hedge he had examined had almost every
tree girldcd by the mice Tue tain fall
during the last mouth was juat four
inches.
l'cmy en IteRil'.iliiKlnK.
Jehn C. Linville, of Salisbitty read the
fullewlug cscay :
The time is near at hand when the
supei visor will make his annual round
and dump a carl lead et big btencu in n
mud hule hcie and thurc, pi'.e tnoie dirt
en the tops et breaks that aie already tee
high uml peihaps run another lurrew in
the bottom of side ditches thatatealiea 'y
se deep that a leaded wagon cannot be
drawn out of them if tlie drUcr is m
unloitunate as te get tee near the sule of
the lead. This bungs te iimid the fact
that no part of tlie oivilu-iviee needs ro re ro
feimiiig he badly as that lU.iting te our
public reads
The average buporvisei is genetally a
man who hau failed te earn a living at
an) thing elhO, and falls back en the
townships for hi bread and butter through
the wages of his office- It is needless te
say that he knows about as much of eu
gineetiug as a Putageuian knerts of
diffeteutuil calculus. Under his supetvi supetvi
sieu the leads always will be bad, ue
ruatter what the read law is.
Iu sonic townships iu this county the
reads are sold, iu short tactiens, te the
lowest bidder, te be kept iu tepair for
three years. The system ts a geed one,
theoietically, but a disgusting failure in
practice The system is a laiiure, because
lirst, uir.e tenths of the contractor are net
heuebt enough te fullill their ojutiaets ;
secondly, the uupciviser is tee stupid te
see that the toad Is net irp.urcd aoemding
te contract, and thiullj, because if he
does uotbce it hellas net ueive enough te
compel its fullillment lest he be 'V atdewn
en" at the next olectieu. It is doubtful If,
under thu t-ame supervision, thu old plau
of employing thu hands by the township
is any better. Very few men are compe
tent te " boss" a gang of bauds ami have
them de sufficient weik, and such uiuu get
better positions than town supervisors.
Assuming, however that we have au
efficient supervisor, the Hint icqiiHite Is
te have geed machinery. A toad ni.ichine,
a htoue cruaher, it large strong plow and
smaller tools should cuustitute the outfit.
Ah most of the weik en the read isdoue
iu tuoferopait of the season a portable
thrasher engine can easily bj hired te ope-
rate the stoue ureal; ur.
Tlie law very properly Uses the mast,
mum grude of a public lead at live decrees,
or about nlne feet in the hundred, and it
should be the aim of uupeiviseis ti reduce
all grades nu much trtvelcd ieads te this
standard. Many hill toads have a grade of
twolve or thirteen or oveu in ie leet per
hundred. A rock grade nu.jlii net, in
ittiy case, te exceed eleven leet te
the huudied. Whero rock crops out en
a hill tho.e is only one rotnedy it must be
maeidftinizeil. The average "turiiplke"
Is made up of nil sizes tad especially big
ones, dumped Inte the read and a few of
the largest ones broken en top and thou
coveted with dirt. Sueh a read is an in.
suit te the common sense of the commu
nity and a oenstiut temptatien te teamsters
te use lauguage forbidden iu tlie Decalogue,
The big stones are seen en top and nre a
ODiircn of oeutlnual anneyaucj, MuAdam,
the Invciter of the systeui, says the stones
should be uiokeu te the . i.e et about oue
Inoh cubes. They certnluly ought net te
be evor two Inches in diameter, The
breaker la required te lrduce tue stones,
If the job la preperly dmie the read will
last for gouerattoim with but uttie repairs,
Ne bteaks are needed te turn the wnter
off this read, It will Iiml the aides au
easily as " rolling oil a leg." Most hills
have entirely tee many breaks. When
breaks nre mtde thy should be wide en
top and the grade get e.ts.er near the mini.
tnlt. and the water npace abeve ba bread
mid net doep. The man who runs a
break diagonally noress the read should
be sent immediately te the lusatie
asylum or the penitentiary. A geed
read hat ue doep slde ditohes, but in
rounded from slde te side, and Is read all
evor. Teamsters may drlve fully out te
the sides and draw thelr leads biiek te the
oeutro of the read. With the improved
read, scrapers new In use two men and a
team of horses will de the work of twenty
or thirty meu with shevels and de It infi
nitely hotter. The hills en the main
tlioieuglifaroa should be graded lirst nnd
by intelligent managotneiit, all the reads
could he made geed iu a few years, and
the cost uced net be much greater than nt
present. Franklin's motto, " what 1h
worth doing, Is worth doing weli " Is as
apidlcable te reads as te anything olse.
The publle rmds are nu indez of the
thrift and intolllgenoo of the community
in which they are feuud, The tendency
of the times is te light wagons and faster
driving. We must have easier gradei and
smoother reads,
While speaking of publle reads, It may
net be amiss te consider the matter In its
iiMthiitle bearings. The nbomlnable habit
of Heme farmers iu letting briars, carrot,
deg fennel, sarap-drageu and ether vile
weeds te grew along thelr roadsides calls
loudly for reform. And thou seme men
make the roadside near their buildings the
depository of all their superannuated milk
pins, buckets, steve pipes and dilapidated
wagons, te say nothing of cast off articled
of lemale apparel and dead eats and degx.
It Is fondly hoped that the d.ly of botter
reads is net far off. The worst bugbear
in the way is the fearef htgher taxes. Oh!
illaiue, give us that whisky tax te pay our
oeunty oxpeutics, he that we may lay
heavier local taxes, and have botter reads.
Calvin Cooper, of Uird-in-Uand, said he
was Herry that overy miporviser In the
county was net present te hear the truths
contained iu the essay.
Dr. J. P. Wiokersham, being called en,
said he would as leave talk about reads
as anything else, as he has travelcd evor
a great many both in this country and iu
Kurope. Iu Kuglaud, Belgium, France,
Switzerland and oveu in Italy the reads
are much hotter than ours. Tliere they
are tuade under the supervision of the
government and, although he Is opposed
te centralization, he should notweudor if
we would have te adept seme systeui of
government supervision for the coustiuo ceustiuo coustiue
tiou and repair of our reads. Lecal public
spirit, it appears, cannot be se cultivated
au te give us geed reads or geed schools ;
and as it was nocessary ler the state te
take held et the cause of uduoatien, se It
mav be necessary for it te take held of
our reads also aud impreve thorn as it has
improved the schools, lie has ceme te
this conclusion after traveling tlieusauds
of miles in Europe. He had ridden along
reads which for htretclics of huudreds of
successive miles wero almost as smooth as
a fleer aud shaded by rows of evor arching
trees. When oue tree dles auother is
planted in its place. Thore are no breaks
en any of the Eurepeau reads, net oveu
en these which cress the Alps, whero the
grades are elteu stcep
W. II. liresius, of Diumere, said thore
had been mero state legislation en the
subject of reads thau en any ether subject
aud perhaps that is oue reason our reads
aie se bad. The laws are ee numerous
aud contacting that nobody understands
them. He admitted the supervisor sys
tem te be abominnble. It makes the
Btiporvisei net only the boss of his meu aud
the boss of the reads, but the boss of the
tax payers.
Jeseph F. Wi truer, of Paradise, thought
the only way te sccure geed reads was te
loam peeple hew te make thetu. Many of
our supervisor neither knew hew te make
a geed read nor kuew what a geed read is
when they soe it. Many taxpayers fear
that lirst class reads nre tee oxpensivo, but
the truth is they are cheaper than peer
reads.
H P.Eby, esq., city, said thore are many
difficulties iu the way of getting- geed
reads in our county. The land is very
rolling ; many of the reads nre old ones
laid out evor routes te accommodate past
generations ; many of the cow reads also
are laid out evor bad routes se as te de as
little damage ns possible te the farms. The
plan of pnrcelim! out the repair et the
reads among these living along them is a
bad one. He thought it would be an im
provement te have a county supervisor of
reads.
After further lively disoussieu in whieh
Messrs. Linville, Engle, Eby and ethers
paitlolpated, the matter was dropped.
Kisxy en Tobacco.
0. L. Iluusocker, of Mauheim township,
read au essay en the history, cultivation,
trade and manufacture, of tobacco, tiaeing
its use from the oarllest ages te the present
time ; detailing the laws governing its
growth and mauufaoture in various coun
tries, the immense rovenues derived from
it, the efforts made for its suppression, aud
the methods used for its cultivation in
various countries, the fortuues beiug made
iu our own county by tobacco growers and
manufacturers.
II. M. Engle of Marrietta said tobacco
glowing is ue doubt profltable te the
tobacco grower and manufacturer, but it
is a oestly luxury and werse than usoless
te the consumer.
J. O. Linville of Salisbury agreed with
Mr. Eugle that tobacco was useless te the
consumer and believed that it was also
pornielotiB almost as bad ns whisky.
Mr. Ilunsocker explained that lu his essay
he had net been moralizing ; he had
neither commended the virtues nor con
demned the vices of tobaueo ; he had sim
ply stated facts, oue of which was that all
thu great nations of the earth had dorived
immoube revenues from tobacco, the
United States being no oxceptlon ; when
the eivil war breke out and inoreasod rev
eneos wero required, tobacco nnd whisky
wero taxed te raise the meney, and it was
rained. As te its being porululeus aud uo ue uo
struative of mind nnd body he would mero
ly Hay that a great majority of our great
tnen use tobacco, aud the oue whom he
regards ns the foremost man of the uatieu
Is known te be a constant smoker.
Win. II. Hreslus said he legarded the
tobacco iuterest tuotie of the most import-
meut iutercsts el our county, liiore are
hundreds of families who wero formerly
peer and dependent, who new own happy
homes whieh they galned by growing
tobacco j it has udvuuoed the cause of
lcarnlug by effering thorn meaus te
odueato thelr children. The introduction
of tobacco into Lancaster county has been
a blessing nnd net a ourse,
Mr. Eugle, in reply, said he had no
doubt that many families had soeurod
homes by cultivating tobaeoo ; but for
every family that had been thus boneflted
twenty or perhaps fifty famllles had been
Injured and provented from gettlug homes
by Its use. When bread or ether uoocos ueocos uoecos
sarlos ought te have been bought, the
meney was spout for tobaceo.
Mr. Linville In renly te Mr. Uresius,
said that iustead of tobaceo furthering the
interests of education, thore is nothing
that Is doing mero te provent odueatiou.
In his own neighborhood boys from Vi te
10 years of age, nre kept out of school
that they may go into the tobacco eullars
te assist In stripping tobaceo. Many a
head of a family will go te the store, buy
as little as pessible of the oheapost gre-
corles ntid dry goods for family line, but
will always have the best cigars and the
best whisky for himself, nnd thus the
family must suder that he may gratify a
dopraved tnste. Tobaceo is n ourse and
net a blessing iu any community.
Mr. Engle oalled attontlen te seme
prepositions made by him at a former
meeting rolatlve te effering premiums te
the boys of the county who raised the
best crops of seme given btaple.
Mr. Linville said he favored the propo prepo
sition nnd moved that a committee of
three be appointed te frame aud report a
soale of preralums at next meetlng. The
motion was agreed te and the chair ap
pointed Messrs Linville, Engle nnd Wlt
mnr said committee
The question of holding a county Insti
tute of farmern was next taken up nnd
advocated by Dr. Wiokersham, J. F. Wit
mer, Calvlti Coepor aud ethers. Mr. Eu Eu
geo moved that such an Institute be held,
and that a oemmittco of flve, of whom
Dr. Wiokersham and Calvin Coepor
shall be momberH, be appointed te arrange
the details aud repert at thu next meet
ing. The motion was agreed te nnd the chair
appointed the following additional mom mem mom
eorH of the commltteo : Mes.srs. II, M,
Emtie, Win. II. Hreslus, Jehn II. Limits.
Mr. Engle prosentod seme cars cf corn
befere the society aud made seme remarks
en the best means of improving the quality
of our com, much of which had failed te
ceme te maturity last year, much of it
being unfit for seed, and some of it unlit
for feed. Of several varioties named, he
thought that known as " small yellow
gourd " was the best, but it might be
improved by oareful cultivation. This
may be dene by selecting for seed thoe
ears euly which nre well rounded out with
grains both at the butt ami at the point of
the cob. The seed hheuld be planted by
itself, he that it be net nfl'oeted by the pol
len of ether varietlcs.
Dr. Bellinger recommended that Heed
oeru, and indeed any ether kind of soed,
should be proeurod from seme locality
north of the place at which it was te be
planted.
