Idlewilde July 18th 1891
About half of the members of this Enterprise Club met at the farm. After taking a short walk we adjouned to Alloway where nearly all of the members were found awaiting the arrival of those who had visited our host. We found that our host is still raising a few high grade Durham cattle; as usual with him the size & quality were both good._ The Potatoes were in fine condition: showing that all had been done that the owner could do. to insure a good yeild.- As far as our walk extended every thing appeared to be in its proper place Perhaps the absence of Children may in a measure account for the extreme neatness of the farm. - Our president being absent Charles E. Bond was called on to fill his place as this meeting. -- After reading the minutes of the last meeting the following questions were asked and answered. --
