Another year having paased.it would seem to be a suitable time to take retrospeotive view ot the successes and failures that we have met with. We have certainly passed through very peculiar eeeson. in tne early spring it was very cold and dry, which oaused a great deal ot trouble to get the orops started. A large per cent, of the seeds planted sproated and then perished tor the want ot moisture. The second planting was often no better than the first, which caused a shortage in some crops, especially melons. 1 he dry spring was followed by a wet June, which produoed a luxuriant growth of weeds, that threatened for a time to choke out what orops the gar dener had been able to get started. Later the weather was more favorable. and there was a fair crop ot most kinds ot vegetables scoured. The potato crop was not large, there being a large number ot small ones, They were also damaged badly by the white grub, that has been unusually de structive tne past summer. Sweet potatoes were generally small. Late cabbage did not head well. There was a large crop planted and the market was pretty well supplied. U. H. L.IWIS. Chairman Committee. REPORT OF THE FLOWER COMMITTKK The past year has been a very favora ble one for the cultivation ot fljwere. all kinds ot flowering plants blooming profusely. Owing to oold weather and ram tne spring flowers were later than usual: those ot summer especially roses snd geraniums were very full and per feot. Ot the fall flowers asters were very large, exquisitely tinted, and endless in variety: chrysanthemums are growing in popularity, and a great many fine ones were exhibited by membere ot our eooiety. The display at our meetings this year has excelled that of any preceding year, and we feel oonfident that as people beoome more prosperous and cultured their love tor flowers increase.

Throngh comparison of the result of offrXmeVcanipria1 that their movements, taken aa a olass. were fifteen to twenty days earlier this year than that ot last, due, doubtless, to the difference in severity ot tne two winters. It is true, tbat a tew maiviauala remain through the winter, while the bulk ot the speoies are in the South. Among the most notioeable ot migra tory movements ooourred on September 12, when a large number ot chicken hawks moved soutb-weatwara in a mass, stopping oooasion lly to girate in a huge tnnoel in mid air I Ot the thirty three speoies commonly known to this seotion. 88 per oent nest in this looalitv. The importance ot protection ana enaonrasement ot the nesting ot our na tive beneficial birds, should demand the attention ot tha general public and more strenuous efforts should be made towards lessening the number of our non-benefiaial speoies. especially the obnoxious Eaglish sparrow. Dunne the past year, in connection with the more generally known insects. throughout the oountry, some have changed their base ot operations, whin other new insects have come into prominence. In so short a report as this, naught but a passing notion oan be given to them. The horn-fly. a new and serious pest. has lately made its appearanoe in large numbers on the cattle near lbesapeeke bay. On the horns ot cattle the flies collect in masses, often forming a com pleie band. The animals lose rapidly in condition often tailing one-halt ia the yield ot milk. Among experiments performed at our experimental stations, the spraying ot trees has been made with sueoess; the formula used was one-halt pound ot London purple to fifty gallons ot water. It is a demonstrated fact that the plum ouroulio ia fast gaining a foothold on the cherry, tor at one station 75 per cent ot wormy cherries were due to tnis insect. The oanker worm and codling moth still keep paoe with the apple grower. The grain aphis, tne inseot so aounaant in wheat and oat heads, was partly the cause ot the shrunken kernels that were harvested. The clover root-borer, seed midge and hay worm have oome into promt nenoa in clover haying, while the Hes sian flf, weevil and chinch bug continue to harass the farmer. lne usurious tflvou of the rose bug to grape vines and reach trees are becoming more ap oarent. and the leaves aad sums ot gooseberry and currant bushes oontinue to be aflectea by inseots more or lees common to the amateur fruit grower. Walter S. Ratlifp. The oommittee oa agriculture, fruits and dairy and ouunary tailed to make any report, and tne statistical commit tee requested until next meeting to produce its report. Folger P. Wilson called the attention ot the sooiety to the importance ot hav ing these yearly reports, and he started a discussion on the growing ot corn. He argues tor clean cultivation having the ground in good condition and keeping the fUid tree from weeds. Ha has tried tall plowing for oorn ground, and while no cut-worms appeared, the grub worm was as bad aa wften tne ground is plowed in the spring. J. D. Hampton thinks too munh eul tivation is done while the grub ia ia the ground thus taking away the grass roots on which tha grub might live, and sending him to the corn. He thinks a good coat of manure ia a good remedy. Martha Bond Little, Daniel Bulla aad C. W. King participated ia tna dia-

This wss followed by a paper on the "School Funds ot Indiana." by G. W. Wright. Tha "management of school funds" waa systematically and compre hensively treated, and the distinction between "school funds" and "school revenues" dearly defined. On aeoonnt of the merits of the psper and the inherent interest ot the subject to citiuns generally, the institute unanimously recommended that it be published in the oounty papers. The subieot ot "Moral luduoation was now presented in an interesting paper by Thomas Ram bo.

The other day I gave an Irish friend a new clay, and told him it had just been given me by a newly arrived emigrant from the Emerald isle. He filled it and commenced smoking, explaining to me all the time that there was no disguising an Irish pipe, because the clay was different from all other clay, and the feel to the lip was so mucn nicer than any other make of pipe. The much prized clay was one of a thousand just arrived from the east.- They were made in France, where, indeed, nineteentwentieths of all the clay pipee smoked throughout the world are manufactured. The number of these clays turned out every year is about 20,000.000, and women and child labor is used very largely in their production.
