Mr. Ingersoll : A proper course to pursue in order to increase 

 the fertility of the soil, is to purchase grain, or to appropriate that 

 which is raised, and feed, with other fodders, to the stock of the 

 farm. This can be done at a profit, and at the same time add 

 greatly to the fertility of the farm. The cost of this purchased 

 food is much more than made up by the increased value of the ani- 

 mals, and the fertilizing value is clear gain. A rapid growth is 

 easily secured by such feed, and maj' be made continuous every day 

 the animal is on your hands. This is easily- demonstrable with good 

 animals. 



The evening was devoted, by request, to the subject of "Fruit 

 Growing for the Locality," by the Secretary, no report being here 



given. 



After the completion of the programme, Mr. Buown gave expres- 

 sion to the deep interest felt in the exercises on the part of the 

 people, and moved a vote of thanks for accepting their invitation to 

 meet with them.
