Tho (J'AZI.TT does iiot beg pardon lor tbo length of the following report on the proceedings at tho regular monthly meeting

of

the Vigo County

Horticultural Society, on Thursday last. It was retur el until to-day because it was surmised that our extra country readers would enjoy scssing it,

Tho society convened nfc 11:30, promptly, on Thursday morning, at the Sugar Grove school house with a rather full attendance The following persons cotnpriso most of those present: Mr. Ifauey, II Scott and lady,

W Barbour and lady, Cory Barbour and lady, Scholtz and lady, A Pegg and Jady, S II Potter, lleinl and ladyMiss Fannie Nickalet, Mrs Barbour, Mrs Hudson, Mrs Warner and daughter, Soule and lady, Joseph Gilbert and lady, Miss Jenckes, Mrs Solomea, Mr and Mrs Walking. Jo Jones and lady, Modesitt and lady, Jackson and lady, 11 W Thompson and lady, Hulman and lady, and Mr Warner Williams. Notwithstanding tho imputation that they aro "gormaudizeis,"who might, therefore, bo supposed to be in a torpor, resembling an over-,'ed anaconda, tho ladies and gentlemen were all extremely lively and sociable.

COMMITTEE REPOKTS.

The standing Committee on Fruits of which Mr. Soule is Chairman report-^ ed that onlya partial ravisal of the fruit had boen made. The committee appointed to select a room in which to hold the State Horticultural convention, stated that, tho eourt house had been secured for that purpose, also that tho Terro Ilauto Hon so had agreed to board any distant member of tho society at a reduction of one-third on regular rates. The committee on entertainment, Mr. R. W. Thompson chairman, reported favorably. Mr.'IIeiui jvas granted further time for his report on largo fruit. Mr. John Haney's report on small fruit was very good. Mr. Hancy had examined the strawberry fields, and so far as he had seen, considered them in excellent conditiou. Those plants having borne lightly last season are encouraged to

USUSUAIi STHKNGTH,

this fall, by tho excellent weather. He considered the Wilson to be the most profitable variety. As any strawberry will degenerate in time, ho thought it well that all efforts possible bo exerted to improve it, or to find its substitute, when it shall have been no longer profitable. All who have tried the Green Prolific, have treated it as a self-fertil-i/.er and havo discarded it as worthless. It is said to succeed well planted with tho Wilson for a fertilizer, and is profitable as a berry for the table and some market, but is too solt for shipping.

Mr. Sholtz was excused from readhis report as was also Mrs. Heinl. Mr. Soulo road a substitute for his expected report on landscape gardening, giving tho society his excellent little circular on the art of successful tree planting.

Mr. Harvey D. Scott read a report on Meteorology. Mrs. J. O. Jones' report on cooking is so good that it is printed below in full. Mrs. Jones is the poetess of the society. Many of her little poems have found their way into print wholly recommended by their merit. There is not mu jh po try in cooking. It is a homely science of much utility, the which Mrs. Jones evidently understands as much practically as theoretically.

Mrs. Pegg also read a report on house keeping. Mr. Foot, in whoso charge the microscope belOBging to the society had been left, made no report. It is th« visual practice to havo all

ESSAYS

read previous to dinner.: In this in stance, so anxious were the members to commence dinner before their appetites should become raNonous, and they earn tho pleasing sobriquet of "gormandism" which tho Express has bestowed upon them, that dinner was announced immediately after the reading an essay by Mr. J. Jones, entitled, "The world we live in." This essay was deserving of notice, and is given at the conclusion of this report.

Gentlemeii, therejis no use attempt­

ing to evade it there is something grand about the art of eating. It is plebian, or it is aristocratic, if yon please no art is older. It is coeval with human existence. Eve wouldn't come into the world until she was fed with a couple of choice ribs chopped,for lack of anything else handy, out of Adam. It is not stated whether she used Leicestershire or Worcestershire sauce, but it is well known that she enjoyed it,since all of her daughters since have had a predilection for tw© extra ribs. Although ancient, this art is wholly unimpaired by age. It is an art which like the widow's? cruse of oil is never exhausted. Some how.'or other, it is generally regarded as very important. It is the slave to the stomach. This stomach is a wonderfully importunate creditar. It is worse than bank paper, becauso there is always "three days of grace" on such paper_ The stomach, unsatisfied, "protests" at once. It has managed to command tho attention of the profoundast thinkers about throe times a day. (Why, then, not of the Horticultural people.) Newton and Siialey affected to forget when thay had had their dinners and yet tho landlady is to be heard from who could make any mone^ off them on less thaj fivo dollars a week. Dr. Fordyce, an nncient curmudgeon, had a theory that eating onco each day was •sufficient and carried it into practice. And yet hisexamplo has never grown popular. Everybody has an innate prrjudico for three. This little

DISQUISITION' ON EATING

is thrown in, not as a apology for tbe rapacity wliidh our reporter showed at the table but as a sort of gentle reminder to tho editor of the Express that eating is au altogether respectable thing not at all confined to the canailleOur Horticultural friends are healthy, hearty and vigorous. They know how to cook and they know how to enjoy a good meal when prepared. If such bjfgormandizing, make tho most of it. When, as Byron designates it, that "tocsin of the soul, the dinner bell" rang, it was responded to promptly.

Since the society has made it a practice to hav meetings at the school house instead of at private residences, several convenient £rrang#meats have been made. There are a sufficient number of largo tables in the building, and the table service belonging to the society is also kept there. Capt, Potter headed tho onslaught, but very cautiously, reconnoitering carefully in advance. Ever since on the 1st of last April he got hold of a doughnut with cotton in it, he bus been exceedingly cautious.

AFTER DINNJ2B

there was a continuation of the reading of essays. Mrs. Modes-lit had a hastily prepared essay oil "Eccentricity," which she rsau.

Mis. Warner read*a witty report on "tlousekeping." The peculiar views advanced must not be considered as indicative of the way Mrs. Warner Ueeps her house. She is one of the most useful members of the society, as well for the practical illustration in herself of executive ability on her farm, as for her literary attainments. Her essay is given below in fulls

Mr. President, and ladies and gentleman: That I should be required to write on housekeeping, caused considerable merriment in my family. Our President was accused of betraying his trust, in thus imposiug on the members of this society. Now I think I can keep house as well as anyone, at any rate I am satisfied with my own way, and I am the one most interested, I always allow anyone around my house, to make good all my short comings in their way of looking at housekeeping duties. First and most important, I think that there should be enough cooking dono to satisfy the hunger of every member of the family. Huirger has always been known to bo an excellent sauce, I remember hearing when I was a child two persons talking. One wais telling some wonderful receipts for different kinds of dishes. The other qu:etly re marked, that she waited uutilshe was hungry and then cookod what she could tho quickest. I thought then that she was sensible now I think that she was far in advance of the age. It is genarallv considered necessary for «omlort, to "have the bids made every day. To show the body of this great waste of time, I here assert that this fall I heard a modei housekeeper (not my model) say that while she was sick her bed was not made lor five days, and she seemed very glad that she had made so little trouble. Surely if one could bear such a change in sickness it would not make much difference wben one was well. Dirt washing is one of the duties.thatl was never able to manage successfully, that is get away from. I knew one woman that alwaws le!t her di3hes until she wanted them for the next meal, but that would not agree with my idea of eookingin a hurry: I have se«n dishes left through the whole day, but they were only the harder to wash. If any member of this society will suggest a way oo evade this disagreeable work, I shall be truly thankful. Sweeping olteu, wears out carpets and brooms. As for the dust, let it be. It is better settled on the luraiture, than flying in the air. Washing, I dare not speak of, as it was long ago, left in the hands «f a committee. Ironing I do" not want to think about. Mr. President, I hope you feel as I do, that I have said enough on this subject, and I trust the members, will appreciate my efforts to instruct them

Mrs. Hulaaan's essay on "Fashionable Accom plishment," contained more solid sense than a person would meet with in a day's journey. Girls must learn that kitchen work is more honorable, or at least as much soassswing, or book-keeping, or clerking. There they will study, and all have better health.

Mrs. Lawrence Heinl, of the regular Committee on Flowers, and Mr. Soule on Fruits, wanted to be excused from farther duty, but was not so allowed.

MRS. IS- W. TH0iIJ30N

read an essny on the history

of

th« g'o-

ciety during the decade past. It needs no encomiums. The source of its authorship recommends it. We are only too happy to publish it. As Mrs. T, wishes to revise it, it will not appear until next Monday. On the conclusion of this, the Secretary, Mr. Gilbert, spoke on tho subject for discussion,

THE CENTENNIAL.

He explained very fully the plan proposed. Capt. Potter had something to say about tho centennial. He thought that it was gotten up for the entertainment of the few who are rich. People lik© himself who. were poor could not go. Colonel Thompson would go because ho had a pa-s. He didn't think it would pay anybody but the Philadelphians. Col Thompson then was invited to address the society on the .subject. He stated that if Captain Potter could not get there another way ho would provide him with a pass, as the centennial would come to a dead halt if the Capt. was not present. This remark caused considerable merriment at the Captain's expense. The Colonel proceeded to explain the innumerable ways in which it would pay to havo such giand international celebration. It will unite ns as a people it will bo the best argument ever offered to tho subjects under European dynasties of Lhe perpetuity of our system of Government and the grandeur of our nation. It will advertise Indiana's coal and educational facilities, both the best in the world, as to its paying the Philadelphians, of course it will. The buildings must be located some where. Tho city of brotherly love where the old Independence Hall stands as the only appropriate place in the country where such a celebration should be held. He stated very truthfully, that if that society should make a decree absolutely forbidding.Captain Potter from attending, ho tnew the Captain would then go

IF IT COST HIM A FARM

nothing could restrain him. Tho Captain seemed to relent largely, for he got up and described how Lhat a Neva da quartz mill was going to be established in one of the centennial buildings and be placed in full operation. He as much as admitted that it would amount to a liberal education to see the wonders there.

The society then proceeded to miscel laneous business. Four dollars and a half were appropriated towards anew stove.

The next regular meeting will be held on the first Thursday in January. The question for discussion will be "Should National Difficulties be Settled by Arbitration." Col. Thompson was invited to address tho society on the subject. Mr. Joseph O. Jones was made a standing Committee on Largo Fruits. Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Hulman, Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Modesitt were appointed essayists for the next meeting, which will be at Sugar Grove. The microscope was placed in the hands of Lawrence Heinl.

The society adjourned, having rarely had a more pleasant and profitable session.

MRS. J. O. JONES' ESSAY ON COOKING. At a meeting of the society in my last, I was appointed to take charge of the monthly report on cooking, but owing to unavoidable circumstances, I have been unable to make regular repoxts, but, as there is but little new being developed on the subject, and the theme at best is somewhat hackneyed, I trust that the society will excuse me for delinquency, and will offer as a report for the present month, a fe thoughts on bread-making, my attention having been called to the subject by various conversations with ladies of the society, who all- agree that good broad is a desideratum in all well regulatet households, but can not account for so much poor bread as often abounds- Experience is a good teacher, and in nothing does it tell more than in cooking, but one does not want to be tied to the kitchen to obtain knowledge, and cook-books are sometimes very amiss and fail to enlighten us on somie very essential points, and so, although the formula of breadmaking is well understood, for some reason the bread often fails to be just what we would like to have it. Bread is said to be the staff of life, and all things considered I think it very justly called so, as bread goes very far toward sustaining life, and in some form, seems necessary for the well being and happiness of enlightened mankind, however well certain aborigines may flourish on something else. Now every housekeeper knows that bread will sometimes fail, do the best we can but then the reason of it is generally quite apparent, our yeast is too old, our flour is dark, or our stove will not bake well and so our bread is spoiled. But if these essentials are in the main all correct, then the fault lies with ourselves. In the sweat of thy faee shalt thou eat bread, was the mandate that want forth, at a very early time, and whoso thinketh to mak£ good bread without much labor, will meet, only with disappointment, and a dark coarse substance, that they may call bread. On nothing so far as my experience goes, does the quality of bread depend so much, as upon the amount of labor bestowed upon it, always understanding as a matter of c( -Sft, that the material out of which it I*made must be good. Iu the first place the fiour must be good, but if the flour is dark, or a little grown, then more depens upon the way in which it is worked: In the second place the yeast must be good, but there area variety of ways to make yeast, and most overy housekeeper has a formula that works very well and good bread may be made from either kind go that it is lively and fresh. But the principle thing is the work "by the sweat of thy brow," and the exercise of thy muscles shall good bread be made. I was visiting sometime since where were a couple of ladies, who had a much larger experience in cooking than myself, but they had been accustomed to viilk-rising bread as it is called, about which am very ignorant, but now, it was desirable to use yeast, and for some reason their bread was not good, and fchey had about coQ_ eluded to lay it all to the flour. One of the ladies suggested that the bread was mixed too hard the other thought it was too soft, but as they_ had been experimenting for sometime/ with

equally poor success, I ventured to suggest that it was not worked enough. The lady making the bread asked how long she should work it replied, "as long as it takes up the flour, or until it is smooth, and wiil not stiek to the hands or board as she had mixed the bread soft, found she had a good deal of work to to do to bring it to that point, but the result was a fine grained, delicious white bread, that well repaid her for the trouble she had taken. And there is where, I think, many cooks Jail, they do not give to the matter sufficient labour. When there is a large quantity of the bread being made it is well to gash it frequently with a knife, so that it may all be equally well worked. I recommend a yeast made principally of potatoes others prefer hops added to them, and good bread may be made of cither. Whore hops are used, care must b3 taken not to uso too much of the yeast.

Manv persons are in favor of brown, or Graham flour bread, and find it more wholesome others cannot use it. But that it is very nutritious and palatable, many will testify. It requires less working than tho white bread, the same amount of yeast, a little brown sugar or syrup, a small portion of the flour to bo scalded, and white flour to mould it out, to make good Graham bread. Much depends upon tho basing of the t-read, it is true, and that is by experience, and depends greallv upon tho stove we use, and if there are any of my lady friends who fail to have their bread well bak6d, I recommend them to put aside their old stove and supply themselves with a good baker, for there is nothing more vexatious or calculated to disturb the elements of happiness in tha household than poor bread and a stove that will not bake.

There is corn bread, and rye bread, and muffins and rolls, receipts for which may bo found in every cook book, but if one wishes to enjoy a breakfast luxury that is simple,healthful and nutritious, I rocommend the Graham perns, made of unbolted flour, simply mixed with cold water and a trifle of salt, and baked in the gem pans in a very'hot stove, or if one is very luxuriously inclined, they may be mixed with milk and beaten eggs, baked in the same manner. The pans must be hot when tbo mixture is droped in. Respectfully submitted.
