(Reported for the Alexandria'Gazette.) ? . The April meeting of tho Woodlawn Farmer-' Club was held at Cameron, the residence cf J. W. Roberts, on the 2d inst. After the minutes were read President Pier eon submitted the following, which received unanimous approval, aud the secretary was directed to incorporate the same in the min? utes and have copies sect to the families of tu? deceased members when published, to wit: To the Members of the Woodlaan Club : Bet?re wo proceed to the usual business, I de? sire to call attention to the extraordinary events that have recently transpired, and offer our tri? bute of respect to those who h;:ve passed from among us. The record of the minutes of our last meeting are those of February Sth. This is the fir-t in? stance in tiie twenty years' history of this society when the monthly meeting has been omitted ia consequence of the deceasa of the number at whose house we adjourned to met*. Since our las: annual meeting thres of our mem? ber; have been cut down by the great harvester Mi lea Thompson, ia the prJmo of'life and in the full vigor of manhood; in the midst of life's most promising hopes and brilliant prospects of useful? ness and success, Ian passed away, most forcibly reminding us of the uncertainty of life. Then the sickle: was thrust into the fully ri P'ncd life of our esteemed counselor and guide, Benjamin Barton. Strict integrity and unselfish fidelity to the welfare of mankind was the rule and guide oi his life. Valentine Baker was one of the original nine? teen numbers enrolled at the fonnatioa of thin society, ou the lltii of August, lSb'6. His genial disposition and kindness of heart, his readiness at all times to conuil>ate his knowledge aad expe? rience to subjects u .der discussion, his ever-wel? come invitation tu cutertuin us ai his historic home, on the banks of the I'oioiuac, will be pleas? ant memorier- retained as the months and tho years toil by. Also in the decease of Mrs. Baker wc feel that this club has met with a double loss. .None knew her but to praise her. So long united companions in life, in death they were not ioug divided. Of the original members of this society Seven have finished their work for this life. Those who remain may appropriately adopt for our motto the closing verse of that beautiful poem of Long? fellow in "A Psalm of Life.' "Let us, then, bo up and doing, With a heart for any fate. Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor aud to wait." (.'. Lukens called attention to a meeting recently held in Alexandria county, wherein the subject of the improvement of the roads leading to Washington city was under dis cussion, and suggested that we aI?o take som< action in the matter. It is a notorious fact that the avenues o:' approach to the h'ii?ral capitai are a disgrace to any civilized country, and most especially the road called a turnpike leading from Alexandria to Washington. Since the railroad has been b-:ii'. alongside of said road there seems to be no way of having i;. kept ia decout trav? elling condition; besides the proximity of passing trains makes it dangerous to life and property. It is imperatively necessary that some measures be taken to remedy the ob iections hero set forth or provide some other and better route between the two cities. It was trrentioncd that a proposition is on foot for converting the bed of the canal into a roadway, which met with general favor. Phis could readily be done by working down the side; of the same sufficiently to form ? roadbed of the proper shape and di? mensions, and which would make one of the iiuest avenues in the country, when planted with trees at the sides. But while waiting for this to be accomplished it was thought best to pay some attention to the present so-called turnpike, s:> James W. Roberts was appointed to investigate the status of the same, and a'nd cut, if possible, the''true inwardness" of that concern, to? gether with any other information he may be abie to gather up germane to the subject, and report at a future meeting. Tho t^cretary read some extracts from a pamphlet sent by Prof. O. T. Mason, of the National Museum, Washington, which con? tained some of the transactions of the Micro? scopical Society, of We9tchester.Pa.,and con? siderable correspondence on tho subject of bounties oil'ered for the killing of bawks, owIb, w< els, etc. This course, pursued by some of the State legislatures, was se? verely censured therein, aod it is claimed by those who have patiently investigated tiie subject, thai most of the birds of prey and animals alluded to, are of much more benefit than injury to the farmer, that the amotiQt of poultry they destroy is of little consequence, compared with the immense amofifit of mice, moles and noxious insects which they prey upou, and that the farmers would be overrun with these pests were it uot for their constant vigiiauce. The merits of this question had not been very widely considered. Someone n?ked, "Hew about crows '?" and we inime I diately branched off on that subjecr, the' ! friends a*d enemies of that dusky though j cunning bird having a lively time of it for j awhile. C. Lukens said they had destroyed much I corn for him and be tried to poison them,! bu; did not make much progress?killed j one in a round about way, it having eaten a i small bird that ate the poison. E. E. Mason was asked if they did not j trouble bis corn that was near bs. He said "?bt much ;" he supposed they knew who were their friends. Iu summing up, Adam Martin, of the An- 1 uaudale Farmers' Club, spoke of the great nuuibc-r of crows iu England and Scotland, and said if wo had as many here we could uot raise any corn at aii. Ee advised us to kill all we can ; there will be enough left to preserve the Bai&acs of power, and he would say the same of the English sparrow. The question was asked, "How late will it f*o to sow oats/" Some good crops had been ma'ie. sown near the last of April, hut as a rule not later than the inidd'e of the month. Much waa said about the unfavorable out? look for wheat. Several Gelds had been or would be plowed and .-ceded with oats. By reason of the last meeting of the club | having been omitted there was uo ciitical i committee on this occasion. The favorable localiou of tiiis jiiact? for a milk dairy was being made the most of, aod the herd of some sixty cows wus in excellent j condition. A lino flock < f sheep was no- j ticed. with the usoa! -upply of ear]; iambs, j Attention was called to a held of rye, part of "which was very forward and in stong contrast to the balance, which was quite backward. It was explained-thai the part looking well was plowed about the 1st of August, the dry weather preventing the I plowing of the balance unii! the last of Sep i temher. It was ail put in about the same ' time, with the result shown. On the ?: late plowing the ryo did not come up until ! thi? spring. The wheat was not looking as j well p.? asaal on this place, in conseqnence I of slow starting In the fall. A portion, the ; most unpromising, was uiBde so by the dep , redatione of neighboring chickens, j The topic for discussion at nexl meetiDg I is, "Can we improve upon i ;;r present sys? tem of farming?"
