Eight new members were proposed, and Messrs. S. Teed, J. Crockett, and A. McMaster were elected to the committee. The society decided to guarantee any loss which may arise in connection with an experimental box of butter put down in poplar timber. This suggestion was made by Mr. Qliff, and should it be proved that this timber is suitable for butter-boxes, a large held will be opened up for the trade. This class of timber can be brought to maturity easily in twenty years. The schedule for the coming show was passed, and judges appointed for the various classes.
