Ellen Farquhar is asked to give by
writing an account of her visit in Bermuda.

The weather report was interesting. The
cool weather does not come up to the
killing frost of the 11th of last May
Janet Miller read some interesting scraps
on poultry. Some soft food is recommended
for young chickens.

The report of poultry is very good this
month. Sarah Hallowell proposed that we compare
the report of this month with that of
the corresponding month ten years ago.

To-day we have 3087 chickens 20 turkies 29 ducks
In 1897 we had 1925 chickens 16 turkies
77 ducks 18 goslings, showing a great increase
in the poultry industry

The Exhibits were very good. It is a marvel
there could be so good a display with so
little warm weather. A branch of Dogwood
with beautiful pink flowers was
admired very much. It grew in the woods
near Riverton
