Adjourned to P. T. Stablers

September 11^th 1875

The club met at Philip T. Stabler's
Not a full attendance of members, Edward
Gilpin & Gilbert Smith were guests. We were late as
usual in getting to business. B. H. Miller was appointed
foreman, and under his leadership we first looked
at the pigs, which were good, they are kept in pins
and fed upon pumpkins and apple hauled to them.
The hen house was examined and pronounced complete.
Our host had a quantity of sowed corn
which he had been feeding to his stock.
The oats and turnips sowed together were a failure.
The sheep were very good. The 25 year old colt seemed
to be doing well.
