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. --
