Report of Meteorologist interesting.

Report on Poultry, Margaret Magruder told
of a cure for gapes in chickens, Insect
powder flirted with a fan over the
group of chickens. Gashouse lime seems
efficacious at some places. It has been
found that chickens kept on board floors
have no gapes.

Mrs. Davis collected money for the Secretary
from some of the members and
will collect from the others at a future
meeting.

Our members are reminded to bring
lists of their exhibits

Questions

1. Will it be well to set out raspberry
plants now? Better to wait until Spring

2. Would it be a good plan to plow an
old strawberry bed and plant cabbage
plants? Some thought cabbage would
do better in another place. Try it in
part of the ground and sow turnips
in the other part.

A tomato was shown which had a
disease that puzzled the experts.
A sort of rot, cause unknown.
