The minutes of last meeting held here were read, and
an unusually long walk taken, beginning with the
fruit garden, which seemed to be doing its best in
the way of grapes, raspberries and blackberrijes the two
latter ripe, large, and abundant, a patch of corn in the
same lot was shown us our half of which was much
better than the rest. all planted at the same time, but
turnips had grown last fall on the part where the
smallest corn was. We passed through the edge of
two corn fields both of which looked very well, some
on new land small but promising well for its chance
with the numerous flint stoves & stumps.

The ground clover where what was cut had stood
the dry weather well and was a source of envy to some
of us, where the wheat was topdressed in the fall, the
set was much better than on the part treated the same
way in the winter. The barn was far from full and
the corn house empty. Some good looking cows were in the
barn yard, standing nearly to their knees in soft well manure
which some of them had managed to get on their bags, it
did not look comfortable to them or good for their milk
The spring house was in good order, the water running

into it at 56^°, The hog pen near by, (too near to be agreeable)
