Sleeting.The regular monthly meutiug of the

Lancaster county Agricultural society washeld in their rooiu iu city hall yesterdayafternoon.

In the absence of Presidout Iloab, CalvinCooper was called to the chair.

Tho following named moaibers :iud visi-tors were present :

Calvin Cooper, Biril-iu-ITau- d ; Jehu C.Linville, Gap ; Wm II. Brosius. Drumore;John H. Landis. Millersville: Casper Hil--ler, Conestoga; Johnson Miller, Warwick ;James Collins, Colerain ; Jos. F.

JohnRon Miller, fiom the committee ap-pointed at the last meeting of the societyto visit the national convention of agriculturists recently iu session in Washing-ton. D. C, reported that Mr. M D. Kendig and himself had attended its session ;about 200 delegates were present from 20states and many interesting matters werediscussed. Mr. Miller had presented apaper on faiming in Lauuistor countywhich would be printed in the proceedingsof the convention. Duriug the conventionthe United States Agricultural society,which had been disbanded when the civilwar Broke out, was je sr.Mized, officer,weroelected and prcliminaiy nrraugemeutbwere made for the holding of a greatnational fair some time duiing the comingsummer.

Some time after Mr. Miller's icpurt Mr.Kendig came iu ami presented a writtenreport of the proceedings of the conven-tion, detailing the programme of cxeicises,which has already appeared iu the news-papers.

On motion it was ordered that thetraveling expenses of the delegates to theconvention be paid by the society.

Crop Reports.Mr. Witmer, of Paradise, said the crops

were so thoroughly snowed iu that theycould not be seen. Tobacco strippinggoes on lively but he had heard of nosales in his township, nor had there beenany buyers about.

Johnson Miller said that ho had noticedafter the first big snow had melted, thatmany of the grain fields were coveredwith ice, which he feared would injure theyoung wheat. Ho had hea--d of a fewsales of new tobacco.

Jehu C. Linville said that the whe.itlooked badly browned by sevore whiterweather, and in some low-lyi- ng fields ap-peared to have been killed by the ice.Cattle weie doing icmarkab'y well in thestables. Ho had heard of soiuo little to-bacco that had been sold at from 18 to 25for wrappers. Mr. Linville also reportedthat ho had been appointe-- by the societyto correspond with Jehu I. Carter with aview to have him 'ecturo before thesociety, and Mr. Caiter had promised tobe present at the meeting to nay, but hadnot put iu an appi ai mice.

A nation ut Vattte reed." At the present prices of coru and bran,

what constitutes a protitablo ration forbeef cattle'."' was a question referred foranswer.

Joseph F. Witmer said that if it wasintended to feed only corn and bran, inaddition to the usual allowance ' of roughfeed, ho would advise the ration to becomposed of two-third- s corn and one-thi- rd

bran, and that the cattle should haveas much as they wanted. Some steerswill not eat more than ten quarts per day,whiln others require sixteen quarts, ormore. As the cost of corn and bran varyat different times, it may be profitable touse other kinds of feed wheu these are toodear. Some feeders recommend oil-ca-

and cotton seed meal, but he had had uoexperienee with such feed.

Calvin Cooper said that when corn wasworth fifty cents a bushel and brau $18per ton his father used to feed his cattleon one-thi- rd bran and two-thir- corn ;

but when bran advanced to $20 per ton hefed on corn alone. Tho bulk of the rationwas governed according to the weatherincreased in cold weather aud diminishedwheu the weather was warm. At presentpriceB com 70couts per bushel and bran$22 per ton ho would feed two thirds cornand one-thir- d bran.

John C. Linville thought the pro-portions named were about right, butmight be varied. If the object is to putfat on the cattle use more corn ; if it beto make the best manure, use more brau.Tho bran contains more phosphoric acidthan the corn, and is thorefero more val-uable iu its raanurial qualities. One tonof linseed cabo fed to cattle is worth asmuch as two tons of bran. As to thequantity of the ration the feeder must bethe judge. Mufh depends on the conditionof the cattle and the temperature of theweather. Sheep oat very Iittlo iu mildweather ant! a great deal when the woath-e- r

is cold.Casper Hiller said ho was not a cattle

feeder, but ho would call the attention ofthe society to the ascertained value of differcnt kinds of manures, obtained by dif-ferent kinds of feed. A ton of manurefrom cattle fed on cotton seed is worth$24 ; from cattle fed on bran $14 ; andfrom cattle fed on co2-n-

, only $6. If thisis so feeders should use more cotton seedaud less corn ; but as cotton seed and oilcake are high in price, stock raisers mustknow in what proportion to feed them be-fore their relative value can be estimated.

Peter S. Reist said his plau in feediugcattle and sheep was to give them all theywanted until tboy began to stand backfrom the trough. He believed that whenthe stock is in good condition corn is thecheapest feed ; if not in condition,

cotton seed, &c, may be used.When corn sells at 50 cents per bushel,the feeder can afford to sell cattle at anadvance of $1 per hundred pounds ontheir cost price. When corn is 75 centsper bushel the feeder should have from$1.50 to $2 per hundred on the cost of hiscattle to make feeding protitablo.

nations for Milk Cows.The question : " What is the profitable

ration for milk cows ?" which was re-ferred for answer to J. F. Landis, waspostponed on account of the absence ofMr. Landis.

Ue Farmers Eat Too Much '!This question had been referred for

answer to F. R. Diffenderffer, but thatgentleman declined to tackle it until hobad made further investigation.

Establishment of Creameries."Should cretmerics bocttiblishcd in

Lancaster county ?" Joseph F. Witmer,to whom the question was lefcrred, an-swered that he had not ha'l time to makea written answer, but ho would say thatin a county where thera is such a goodpasture, and so much grain, and where eomuch stock is fattened, the establishment

of creameries ought to be a profitable busi-ness. In Bucks county where the proprie-tors of creameries have to buy the grainwith which they feed their cows, tbe busi-ness is profitable and they ought to bemore profitable here where we grow ourown grain. Here large numbers of cattleare fed for the purpose of getting anabundance of manure for the tobaccoland. Mr. Witmer believed it would payas well, or better, to keep fewer steersor more cows ; for then while the manurepile would not be lesseuded the farmerwould have the profit on the milk sent tothe creamery. One objection to this planis that the cows would have to be pas-tured during the summer, whereas thesteers are fattened and send to the butch-ers. Oho advantage iu the establishment ofcreameries is the drudgery and labor theysave the farm women in chu ruing andbutter making He added that if cream-eries were not profitable there would notbe so many of them in neighboring coul-tie- s.

Calvin Cooper said there was a creameryestablished at Bird-in-Hau- d, this county,which was doing a prosperous business. Anumber of thrifty and sensible Germanfarmers are patronizing it, and the num-ber of its patrons are rapidly increasing.One of tbe patrons of this creamery toldthe proprietor bis cows were falling off inmilk, and asked what was the cause of it.The proprietor advised him to feed hiscows with oil cake, aud the flow of milkwould be increased. Ho did so, and theresult was a full flow of milk.

Peter S. Reist said there was a creamerynear Manheim, but he could not see howit could make both ends meet. Ho under-stood that several of the Bucks countycreameries were being disbanded becausethey were unprofitable, although theyhave the Philadelphia market almost attheir doors.

Johnson Miller believed that creameriesmight be made profitable if located onehe'ip i.i'mIs where pasture is abundant,but not vlibie land is worth $200 or $300per acre.

Henry M. Euglo seemed to think thatthe interest which has iecently been mani-fested in regard to creameries, indicatesthat tobacco growing does not promise sowell as formerly. An important questionto be considered at a creamery is mostprofitable, the manufacture of butter orcheese ? If the former, then the milkshould be taken from the Jersey cow ; ifthe butter, from the Ayreshiro or Hol-atei- n.

It will be found that neither breedof cows possesses both the butter audcheese making qualities iu an eminentdegree. Some creameries are run on themutual system ; the quality of the milk istested by the lactometer aud the farmergets credit for the proportion of butterhis milk will make aud a certain sum forthe milk, as per quality. Creamery butteris better and brings a higher price thanbutter made by the individual dairyman.Selling the milk to the creamery affords agreat ielief to the farm women.

Josoph F. Witmer said the Bird-iu-Hau- d

creamery made uo difference iu theprices paid for milk on account of itsquality. It was all tested, and if it wasrich iu cream it was manufactured intobutter ; if not rich cheese was made of it.They make a cheese of skim milk aud acortaiu proportion of buttermilk aud sellit at 8 cents per pound ; and he regarded,it as the best cheese ho had ever eaten.

James Collins favored creameries eathe grouud that butter could be made iuthem better, aud cheaper aud with lesswork for the women thau it uould bemade in the ordinary dairy.

Mr. Thorne, of North Carolina advocat-ed creameries in a speech of considerablelength, taking the grouud that almosteverything can be done better by a com-bination of mauy than by individual effoit.Referring to what had been said relativeto the value of cottou seed meal, he saidthat much of it sold iu the North is impure,the oil having been expressed from it. Iuthe South they do not grind the seed butfeed it whole to the cattle. It can be hadnear Raleigh at about ton cents perbushol,the weight of a bushel being about 37pounds. He advised dairymen to purchasethe seed whole and feed it mixed withabout one fourth its weight in bran. Re-ferring to the high prices at which JerseyAldorny aud other thorouahbred cattleare sold he suggested that Lancastercounty should breed pure stock, aud in-

stead of killing off annually thousands ofcalves, should raise them and eudeavor tosupply the markets of the world. Hodeclared that it would be regarded asalmost a crime, in the South to kill a calfonly a few weeks old. He never heard ofthem killing there anything younger thana "yearling." He was satisfied that muchsickness tesulted from eating immatureflesh ; that milk fovcr and other diseasesin cows are caused by over-feedin- g, andthat diphtheria, scarletina and-othe- r dis-eases are caused by eating the meat ofover-fe- d animals, especially over-fe- d pork.

Shall Wo Have n Fair ?Mr. Witmer said that during the late

poultry show in this city the secretary,Mr. Lichty, had asked him if the Agricul-tural society was not going to have acounty fair ; and intimated that if wewore not it was probable that some otherorganization would. Last week ho againsaw Mr. Lichty who told him if the societyintended to hold a fair ho had no doubtMr. McGrann, the owner of the park,would lt them have the ground on veryfavorable terms. Ho thought it probablethe state Agricultural society might holdits annual exhibition in Lancaster if properinducements were hold out. Ho suggestedthat the society place itself iu correspond-ence with the state society.

Mr. Engle favored the suggestion, andmoved as a preliminary that a committeeof three, of which the chairman (CalvinCooper) shall be one, be appointed toconfer with Mr. McGranu on the matter.Tho motion was agreed to, aud CalvinCooper, Joseph F. Witmer and J. M.Johnston were named as said committee.

The Rainfall.Mr. Engle reported the rainfall for er

to have becu ljj inches and forJanuary o inches.

Business for Next Sleeting.The following1 questions were proposed

for discussion at next meeting :" Prepare a good list of small fruit for

farmers." Referred to Henry M. Engle." Is there any benefit derived from

harrowing wheat in the spting ?" Re-ferred to M. D. Kendig.

" What is the feeding value of corncobchops ?" Referred to John C. Linville.

W ariamaker's.Silk novelties innumerable

and indescribable. Everythingthat ladies or dressmakers haveoccasion for in matching, deco-

rating, combining. What weare remarkable for, more thanfor anything else in silks, is va-

riety ; or, at least, we are re-

puted so. You hear it said byeverybody: "If you want tomatch anything, or find a raresilk, even an unexpectable one,go to Wanamaker's."

The other peculiarity thateverybody expects to find hereis less pleasant to speak of;lower prices. We put it second,because there are people whodon't credit us with lowerprices. Still, we imagine thatif one should assert the con-trary, almost everybody in Phil-adelphia would believe it.

Oftener wc speak of otheraspects of our trade; aspectsless obvious or less recognized.It is well occasionally to giveold news.Next-oute- r circle, south entrance to main

Furs have to be thought of.We're busy enough as to mak-ing. If we advertise at all, weought to say what will not op-

press us with too much making.Perhaps this it is. A great manyseal coats and fur-lin- ed circu-lars are ready-mad-e. Moresizes are ready-mad- e here thananybody expects; especially theunexpected sizes. Ready-mad- e

work we can make in July.Why shouldn't we make all theshapes and sizes ready-mad- e ?1303 Chestnut.
