A meeting in the interest of agri- culture was held in the I. 0. O. F. hall Pine Grove Mills, January 29th and 30th, 1919, Capt. W. H. Fry presid- ing. After the meeting was called to order by the chairman he took the liberty of appointing Dr. R. M. Krebs vice-chairman, and D. S. Peterson sec- retary. The first on the program was prayer by Rev. J. M. Campbell. Mr. William Patton, of Mosgrove, Pa., spoke on “Potato Growing.” He said the following points must be ob- served in growing potatoes: The kind of soil, healthy seed, preparation of ground before planting, and then proper care. Mr. Carl Thomas, of West Chester, spoke about “Hog Growing in Penn- sylvania.” He said hogs were more of a forage animal than most people thought. They should have good pas- ture, with a balanced ration, and lots of pure, clean water. The evening session was opened by the Ferguson township band render- ing music. The welcome address was ably delivered by Rev. Fisher, and the response by William Patton. Seven small girls sang “The Flag and the School.” Mr. Paul Guldin, of Yellow House, Pa., spoke “Concerning the Poultry Problem After the War.” He said not to become discouraged, as so many poultrymen had done, and quit, as there would be a great need for poultry and eggs across the ocean. The band then rendered a selection of music. Miss Claire Martz deliver- ed a declamation entitled “How to Cook a Husband.” Mr. Carl Thomas spoke of “Corn Growing and Improve- ment.” He said to plant corn on a clover sod always. Choose for seed the ears that carry their thickness and have straight rows of grains. Mr. William Patton on the subject “What Are You Going to Do About It,” said: By “It” he meant the home, the school and the church. He said that to be a citizen we must be work- ers in all three. THURSDAY'S SESSIONS. Dr. R. M. Krebs presiding, Mr. Guldin spoke about the “Construction of Poultry Houses.” These should be built to have good ventilation and plenty of sunshine. Mr. Patton spoke on “Taking Care | of the Soil.” He said most farmers | rob the soil. We have found the soil | to be a living, working thing, and | must be fed. He advised leaving the second crop of clover go down on the ! land, and a goodly covering of barn- | yard manure. | Chairman W. H. Fry presided at the | afternoon session. State Forester, John W. Keller, of Boalsburg, made a few remarks concerning the forest- ry department of the State furnishing trees for persons to plant on ground that could not be farmed to grow oth- er crops. Dr. Hannah Lyon spoke on “The Health of the Home.” She said clean- liness and pure air are very necessa- ry in the home. She was careful to explain that pure air is not necessari- ly cold air. Mr. Guldin talked about “Hatching and Raising Chicks.” He preferred not to crowd the brooder. He feeds as follows: Sand, thickened sour milk, water and dry feed. Mr. Patton then spoke to the school children exhorting them to obey their parents and teachers. He thinks stress should be put on the studies we use in daily life. The Ferguson township band gave a selection. . Mr. Patton spoke on “Lime, What for, When and How to Use It.” Lime is not a fertilizer but it loosens clay- ey ground so that the plant can draw nourishment easily from the soil. He prefers to put lime on plowed ground and harrow it in. He uses 1500 Ibs. per acre often, rather than a larger quantity seldom. A song by seven girls: member You.” Dr. Lyons spoke on “Efficiency in Home Making.” Every home should have every convenience possible. Women should plan their work in or- der to save unnecessary steps. Recitation entitled, “Giving Up Bill,” was given by Mary Burwell. Two selections by the band and a rec- itation entitled, “Victory Without a Stain,” by Grace Elder. Mr. Guldin then told how to feed laying hens. The following mixture gave good results: 33 bushels of corn, 2 bushels of oats, 1 bushel of barley, 3 bushel of wheat. Also hav- ing the following ground mixture on a self-feeder before the hens always: 60 lbs. corn, 60 lbs. wheat, 30 Ibs. oats. After a vote of thanks to all who had helped to make the farmers’ in- stitute a success, and a few remarks from Mr. William Patton the meet- ! ing was adjourned. All who attended this institute can- not fail to have received benefit there- from, and it behooves us as farmers to put into practice some of the ideas which have been brought to us. 1350 people attended the meetings. Standing room was in demand. It proved to be the best institute ever held here. “We'll Re- RUNVILLE. William D. Lucas, of Orviston, was a caller in our town on Tuesday.

In its efforts to encourage the | broad development of poultry raising "in the United States, the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture is conduct- ing investigations to establish the : best methods of raising many varie- ties of fowls. The present scope of the work includes not only the feed- | ing, breeding, and care of ordinary | poultry, but also the raising of pig- ! eons, squabs, guineas, turkeys, and | many other birds, including ostriches. The flesh of squabs, turkeys, guineas, geese, and ducks makes a pleasing | variety in the diet, and with wild | fowls now becoming less available, it | is important that a sufficient number of domestic birds be raised to keep the market constantly supplied.

Bellefonte people recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills. Could you ask for stronger proof of merit? Mrs. Christ Young, 16 Potter St., Bellefonte, says: “For more than a year I have suffered with a dull pain In the small of my back. My back was always sore and when I bent over, I could hardly get up again. I didn’t feel able to do anything about my house. I had a dull, drowsy feeling all day long and when I got up in the morning, I could hardly dress. I was troubled a lot with dizzy spells and my kidneys acted irregularly. I read in our town paper where Doan’s Kid- | ney Pills had helped so many people i of the same trouble that I decided to give them a trial. The first box that I got at Green’s Pharmacy Co. cured me and it has been about three years ,now since I have had any trouble with my kidneys.” (Statement given April 22, 1914). On October 18, 1918, Mrs. Young said: “I am very glad to confirm my former endorsement recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills. I have had no kidney trouble since I used Doan’s Kidney Pills and am now a well wom- an and owe it all to Doan’s Kidney Pills.” 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn i Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N.
