Jfew-Y&rk, March 29M, 1851. ( 



Mr. Fle^t desired to be informed whether we can send our corn 

 to England as cheaply as it is sent from the continent of Europe. 



Prof Mapes. — Yes! when we give the crop a fair chance. 

 We can have one hundred bushels of slielled corn from one acre, 

 if we use the present well-known applications of manual labor. 



Grape-cuttings from Dr. Underbill, of Croton Point, and Prof- 

 Mapes, of New-Jersey, and apple and pear grafts, also from J. 

 W. Olmstead, of Staten Island . Seeds (47 kinds) from California, 

 were distributed among the persons present. 



A cake made in the family of Gen. Chandler, under the direc- 

 tion of his lady, was tasted by all the members, and pronounc 

 ed of superior quality. It is of Stafford's Indian corn meal, 

 and made thus : — To a quart of milk, nearly boiling, add and stir 

 in thoroughly, as much of Stafford's meal as will render the mass 

 thick. Wlien it is somewhat cooled, add two eggs well beat up, 

 up, and stir in parfectly — it is then ready for the oven. 



Subject for next meeting — Cattle exclusively. 



The Club then adjourned
