Tut Farmers' Institute whii-h met here lat eek cannot but result in much good to thow who attended it. The eeione were all largely attended by farmers from all sections of the county.

The old-time dieplay of backbone on the pari of the K publican State Senators is a very refreshing K'l-'!lt t T,,e dish of crow they made their Democratic brethren eat Fr:iay must have be'n very unsavory.

Tin V.epubUcans of Philadelphia have placed an excellent man at the head of theircity ticket, and even the Democratic apers of that city have admitted that Lis nomination is equivalent to an elec tion. Mr. Stewart's jiernonal character and his fidelity to public trusts are not matters of doubt, nor is there any ground for taking exception to the methods of bis nomination. Tiil lying that has been done against the McKitiley law and the Klection bill has never been equaled in any other measures before the American jieople. The Mckinley law is here to stay and be tented. It would have been well if the Flection bill, which only demands an observance cf the lejral rights of every tnan.conld have been given an equally fair chance. It rol no man of a single right or privilege, and would lie a terror nlv to the evil doer.

It is fortunate for the people that in the tinlf of Mexico, Mis sissippi Sound and aiorg the Florid coast there are bountiful aupplies cf oys ters. The Biloxi oyster are excellent in flavor and of good size. Says the Ilarri&burg TiyrrrA : The Democratic Senators worried a long time in caucus yesterday over the stand the Lepubiiean Senators took--that unless iovernor Beavers appointments were confirmed (iovernor Panison would have no cabinet and thry finally came to the conclusion that the Democratic coon bad lietter come down. The statement that they were merely following precedent wras a very innocent olc, but there was something hack of it. The fart is, the Democratic Senators were all cocke J and primed to defeat tiovernor river's nominations, and they intended to do so at the very first opportunity. Their little scheme w as too good to keep secret, and it leaked out in lime for the Republican Scnatorsto nip it in the bud by premising to retaliate on Paiiison's nominee. As originally planned Paulson's cabinet was to be rusLed through on the day of in auguration, and thee action on the lea ver nominations was to be held off until after the Legislature adjourned, when Pattieon would have ousted the lVaver appointees and put in men of bis ow n choice. The Republican Senators have uoc?eded in arranging matters so that (he !tver nominations wilt come ep or m Uoa first, then the Pattison cabinet aiouiinece wili follow, and all of the cp pointutents will be confirmed. There can be no JouUt of that. Put some people will be sadly disappointed that their little fame was blocked. FARMERS' INSTITUTE. Large Gathering of Represent ative Man. av r:cjrvr.iFiF.D srctxss. Tlie Second Annual Session of the Son, , r at Coun'y Fanners' Institute, held in t!e Court Hou WuJnelay aud TLorrfay, was a success in every particular. It w as com posed of representative farmers fioinall sec tions .f the rour.ty many of whom had braved the cul.l blasts of a ftcrte winter day travel! uk tweuty-fivc milia over badly snow-; driftsd roads to be prtstnt and the interest tbey displayed was of unusual order. All bad come to Wrn something in connection , with their chosen avocalionj or to Impart j knowledge to those w ho have not yet con quered all the tares and thistles. Successful tillers of the soil told how they bad succeed ed, and less fortanateones told why they bad not. Farmers' wires and daughters impart ed many little hints on managing rural homes and how to make them attracts ?e and .pure. Scientific farmers from abroad gave the benefit of their experiences aDd knowledge and learned many points of which tbry were ignorant. The road atid fence questions, which are agitating farmers ail over tbe easiern states, were profita bly discussed. Tlie careful, conscientious way in which the papers were prepared, the eager attention jwid to all who spoke, and the generous, friendly feeling that was shown throughout must result profitably to all who attended. The gentbinen who have promoted tbe Institute In this county and who arranged the program arc to be con gratulated on the succesi! Mined. Following is sun, maty of the proceed ings : tt riiNiCMUY JIOl'.MNo SEssKiK. About one hundred and fifty farmers were present hen the Insiiuile was culled to order. An iga"-ztion was soon jierfected, lion. O. T. btiaver bring elected chairman, an(j Hoftnian, secretary. Our report er was unable to hear the !irst paper on the program, "frrgrcss in farming and improvements in farm machinery," read by Henry Rauch, cf Jtnner, but from the long and proliferous txierience Mr. Rauch has had in agricultural pursuits, he cannot help but think that his paper was one of the moft instructive and interesting read during the session. " Propriety of Mrmers' sons learning trades," was the title of the next paper, read by Austin Weimer, of Middlecreek. He said: "From experience and observntion I would deem it advisable lor all farmers' aims to ute every opportunity to learn a trade. No man'e education is complete unless lie has been taught physical lulnir. whereby he can -.un a living. The man with a trade always has it to fall back on when other avocations are debarred him. A good trades man rarely ever finds it difficult to secure employment. It frequently haptens when theeduiUd man fails to make a living at a profe-sion, there is nothing too low and mean thai he will not sloop to, rather than to manual labor. learning a trade does not unlit one for other positions in life ; some of our most honored and prominent states men have been taught trades. He who learns a trade thoroughly is taught that what is worth doing at all is worth doing well, because be is brought inloccnipetition, with other tradesmen and the test is always sought. IJeing a tradesman need not unlit one from becoming a farmer. The farmer who is a mechanic will do his work sys tematically and keep every thiiiK in order ; the observer can readily pick bim cut from among his neighbors. If any of your sons has a tate fur mechanics, do not be afraid to invest a few dollars in tools for him ; he will put his time to good use and will not lounge around and learn evil habits. The uhjri't if Mr Wcimer's paper was taken np and discted by a number of gen tlemen preset t. Judge Ilacr being present wss called upon for his viem-8 on the iguestion. "Tell me where your sons will find a place to learn a trade, and I will answer the question," said he. "The trades and professions are all overstocked ; there is plenty l room in the upper story, but how many will get there? You can't make two blades of grass grow w here only one should grow, and the boy had better stick to one thing. I am afrsid tbe common s"hools are to blame for the boys leaving the farm. They get to be school teachers aud then oant to Ixcome professional nun. How many stircd T My impression is that the trad of farming is a good one to learn, and I am sometimes sorry that I did not kef pat it. The time has (rone by wheu ihe country boy ws j'eied and laught J at : his intelligence, in dependence and wer have asserted them selves and he is welcomed everywhere he gjes." Senator Critehfieid here introduced tbe visitors from abroad to the members of the Institute. They were Mr. T. B. Terry, of Hudson. Ohio ; Mr. Calvin Cooper, of iiird-iu-Hand, Lancaster county, and Mr. YVm. Ranihart, of Westmoreland county. Institute adjourned. UIlDNKSUAY acternook skssiox. F.very vuilble seat in the court room was occupied when te Institute wa? called to order at 1 ,.7 p. m. The audidenoe was composed of well known farmer from all sections of the county, raany of whom had traveled a distance of twenty-five miles to be present. " Farms and taxation " was the first sub ject taken up, and was handled mitbout gloves by Rev. J. I.. V. Seibert, of Milford. who oened the discussion. The speaker launched into his subject at once and paid his compliment to that weli-dressed, wtll fed, good-looking gentleman," Mr. Jlouoo ly," who escapes his just share of taxation aud manages to hoodwink tbe lar.oers. He touched tlie McKitiley tariff bill, but con fessed he did not undc'iiuind the benefits the farmers were to derive from the measure. The school directors of the county also came in for a lum;ooni:ig for their cxtravagauce, aud the speaker said, in his opinion, a Far mers' Institute wasoffsr more importance than a Teachers' Institute, Arid that every farmer who attends should receive il per day. Farmers are willing to pay their share of taxatiou, hut rebel ajrainse d'scriminalioa ad demand equahzaliou of taxation. They must have a just share of the products of their labor. There must be no privileged classes. The lawyer should pay tax on his library and on every speech he makes in the Court House. We must sink or swim to gether, and if need be there will come an other political cyclone that will shake this country from tbe St. Lawrence to the (Juif. Mr. Seibert took such advanced grounds in regard to National and local legislation that no one appeared milling to cope with him, and the question was dropped without further discussion. Tno Totato King." Mr. Terry, at this juncture, delivered a m jst instructive and entertaining lecture oa ' Mixed and Special Farming." A " mixed farmer " is one who raises grass, oat, corn and wheat for bis own use ; keeps horses, cattle and sheep. Specialty farming means the growing of fewer crops, and those adapted to ooe'a soil. We must grow rariety enough to haves rotation of crops. I would have them changed at lean every three years ; when the ctnutry was new it was necessary for the farmer to grow a UtUo of everythiug ; it is not so now. He can sell his products for cash and needs only raise what pays best. You ha7e heard it said it is not iae to put all y onr tcgs in one basket, but the man who said so did not think of what he was saying ; when the fir mer starts in the spring with tbe idea that some of his crops will prove a failure, he will not bediaappointed ; you must not at tempt to grow things n it adapted to the soil. We most not, attempt to do too mucH ; if you want to grow potatoes tile drain your land and be indi iender.t of wet seasons :onc must study what is in demand to be a so cial farmer, end iind cut where to buy bis necessities and where to sell his producu ; there is no money in average crops ; you cannot buy a farm and pay for if with only average cros ; you mast know what your fields wiii produce and givethem the benefit of your toil ; twenty years ago I determined to graw potatoes and wheat; my land was sdapu-d to the:'e two crops. I first sold the dairy arid got through with a great deal of drudgery; I then Mopjied raising oats and corn, thickets and cattle; I bought butter and vegetables, and tried to do something with potatoes wheat and clover three yr$ rotation aud 1 have never had a failure to amount toanythiag with any of these three crops; my wheat averages about 33 bushels per acre; potatoes have always turned out the same ; always had a good stand of clo ver ; for the; last twenty years hsve only farmed 35 acres ; have always made a living and ain able to put s litlls in bank all through special farming; wb work from eight to ten hours a day, and at something that flays in dollars and cents; tbe same idea can be carried out with as good results in many other lines; do what your soil is adapted to, and nothing else ; don't raise anything that doo't pay ; you can sell your own products and buy others, and save mon ey ; tbe farmer cannot afford to take risks, ann must move slowly .and meet with no failures ; don't think there is no hard work in special farming ; it is bard work that brings success, and concentrated work gives one a bel ter.rhance to gain success ; the spe cial farmer has a better chance and does not have to work so hard as the mixed farmer. I do most of my work with machinery and make money bjr following the new devices for saving labor. Farmers do not all hold the same opinions I do in fact, nine out of ten disagree with w, and I do not expect you ail to think as I do 1 only want to agi tate this question, and start you to thinking about it if I can. Solo, by Miss Walter. Philip Walker asked bow the learned gen tleman from Ohio managed to pay his differ ent taxes anJ household expenses and lay aside f l.WU a year by farming only 35 acres. Mr. Terry said he bad 12 acres in potatoes, 12 in wheat, and 12 in clover. I never have made less than $."i0 per annum since I have been a sjiecial farmer. Potatoes can be crown successfully in almost any kind of soil. Of course the soil must first be gotten into good condition. Clover is tbe only fertilizer I have ever used, and I believe that with a three year rotation it is tbe best. I lease it all on the ground. Never hoe potatoes ; the work is too la borious and tedious. The horse cultivator I use is called the "Hanover," and cost H25. It can not be used in stony ground or on hillside, but does its work admirably on level ground. Never make too much haste putting potatoes into the ground. Wait until the soil is mellow. After the otatoes are in the ground plow between the rows, turning the soil over them as deeply as pos sible. Then harrow tbe patch and make the ground alxive them as nearly level as you can. Banking up tlie rows permits tbe rain to run away and the potatoes are without moisture, while by keeping tbe surface level every drop of it will be absorbed. The ground should be perfectly drained before planting. You should never hoe between the hills, because you are sure to cut of the roots that shoot out between them, seeking for food. Potatoes should be planted close enough together so that the lops w ill join together and shade the ground between them, thus reuiininc tbe moisture. This Is an important point to observe. Our market is where the crop is shortest in all parts of the I'uited States, aud we sell where we get the best prices. I plant such potatoes as I wish to raise ; it is a mistake to plant odds and ends. You should commence to cut potatoes for plant ing at the stem, and keep that and up until the potato has been divided into parts, with an eye in eacii. You frequently find that the other end has a number of little half formed eyes ; these should be thrown away, and you will thus avoid finding bills filled with little, ptrily-grown potatoes. It took me a long while to find this out, but I raise very few useless little potatoes. The moisture for our growing cros comes from beneath, and the first moment possible after a rain stir op the surface and it will insure a good crop of po tatoes in a dry season. The matter of moist ure is of vital importance ai.d should be thoroughly understood. 'Different results in farming" was the title of a well prepared paper read by M. J. Peachy, of F.lklick. He drew a very strik ing picture of the ignorant, careless farmer, with his tumble-down buildings and fences and unproductive soil, and compared him with his energetic, wide-awake neighbor who finds comfort and happiness in his sur roundings. He pointed out the great results that had been accomplished by judicious fuming during the past century, and pre dicted many improvements that will be accomplished in the next. Mrs. Chaancey Dickey, of Somerset, read a charming essay on "Home Adornments " which we would like to publish in full for the benefit of our readers. It was replete with original thought, and could not fail to suggest many thing3 that would add to the attractiveness and pleasure of rural homes. Her ideal country home would be located near church and school, on high ground, but not over a spring, as one so frequently finds them: and yet water should be close at hand, and a running stream would add much to its attractiveness. Pictures would a lorn the walls, good, clean literature mould fill the shelves, and music weuld be heard within its doors. The surroundings would be as cheerful as tbe purse conld afford, and home improvement would be the object always in sight. Nice furniture, pictures, books and music will not bring happiness where there are dissentions in the family. AH depends upon good and care ful management. la rep'y to a query, Mr. Terry said that he had not fed grain to his horses for twelve years. His horses do not perform much heavy work, and clover, which is said to be the only perfect ration, is all he feeds them. It should be of the best quality and fed care fully. Always wet the clover slightly bel'jre f.ciliug, and do not keep the rack full all the time. Feed most at night. ' Does heat raising piy ?" was a question a-ked Mr. Barnhart, of Westmoreland county. He said: "It does. I raise on an average 1 ,8u0 bushels and have always made money out of it. Whes I was a young man I sbonldereJ a debt of ls0' and paid six per cent for it. I hsve been out of debt for some time and did it all through wheat. Adjourned to meet at 6.3' p. m. wsmfEsiur EVE!isa srasios. The Court House was filled to its full ca pacity when the Institute wascalled to order at 4 o'clock. A large number of ladles, far mers' wives snd daughters, and a large dele gation from town, helped to swell tbe audi ence. The exeraises were opened with chorus by tbe Somerset Lutheran Church Choir, conducted by Wn. U. Ruppel, Esq., and elicited generous applause from the audi-en-e. " Fruits and Fruit Trees " was the first question taken up by Mr. Calvin Cooper, of Lancaster county. After paying a hand some compliment to the choir and to tbe intelligence of Somerset county people, say ing that he thought it mistake for our peo ple to send to the eastern part of t he State for instructors when w have so many in telligent farmers at home, and that the Ger man accent heard made bim feel as though he was among his own people, Mr. Cooper said : "Nothing adds so much to the good health of our 1'aruiiies as fruit, and no owner of real esta'.e U excusable for not raising more or less of it. The hillsides of this great Stale of ours contains the soil that will produce fruits that would surprise ail of ns did wt cultivate them, and I do not consider that il is proper that we should annually import 1 the quantities we do from the Pacific slope for use in our own families. The apple is t'.ie most .useful all of fniits ; is the easiest 1 g-v n. and U su;ted to all soils. The first st p in s!art:n;r an orchard is the location. A r on best slope always the best, because it protects the trees in winter from the hot rays of the sun and prevents " sun ld." U snould 4e ai eorm-uiett to the houicaa possible. Having selected the location the soil should he put into proper condition by being plowed. It should be well drained, no water being allowed to stand on it. Select ing trees comes ne', bnt I would not un dertake to advise what you should plant ; if you contemplate starting an orchard, you bad better make diligent inquiry ainoni; yci'r neighbors as to what varieties produr tbe bet results on their farms. It will not psy to make experiments and those tries thai do well at one place will not do so weil a thous and feet below. Buy from a nurseryman in whom yoa have confidence, snd order noth ing that you no not want and and see that you get the varieties you ordered. In plant ing, prune the roots carefully, and do not set them in the ground more than two inch es deeper than they were in tbe nu-sery. See that the trees are kept pcriendiiular. it is good plan to pat a stske In the hole be fore the roots are put in and the stake should always beexposed to tbe wind. If a suks is driven into the ground for tbe purpose of straightening the Irve after it bas been plan ed you are very liable to sever one or mors of lbs most important roots. It it weli to always remember this. The second ytr alter planting it is time to commence form ing the tops ; when you cut off a branch al ways leave a bud where you wish tbe branch to continue growing. Pears ueed to be plant ed deeper than apples and in a gravel soil, although they will do we'd anywhere. The more rapid fruit trees of all kinds are in growing tbe slower they will be in bearing. Grow your own cherry trees ; apple trees should be planted 35 feet apart, or about 41 trees to the acre. Certainly no paper read befjre the Insti tute was more carefully prepared or contain ed more practical suggestions than Miss Sa die V.. Moore's essay on "Our Markets." Miss Moore read her essay in a clear, unem barrassed tone, aud was freely applauded when she was through. She said, We have ati excellent market right at our doors, and if we get up our articles in attractive form, we have no trouble in dhqiosing of them ; we never find our markets overstock ed with choice products ; consumers are al ways looking for the best of everything, aud we should strive to offer them superior arti cles. By carefully studying the wants of consumers and paying strict attention to the quality of our productions, we will always be able to find a market "The Wife's Share" was the title of a highly entertaing talk delivered by Mr. Terry, of Ohio. He commenced by saying, "Two young people go into partnership ; each put in a certain amount of money aud give the business the benefit of their labor ; at the end of the year Ihey divide the profits. Now, I would Iik to ask why, when a young man and a young woman get married go into partnership one partner takes all the profits and the other gets noth ing uuless she asks for it ? It seems snd I am sorry to say it that woman is not re garded as man's equal. Paul says, " Women, subject yourselves to your husbands." But be also says, ' Husbands, love your wives," whiah certainly means, make her a ful part ner. It seems to me that the time has come when the old dogmas of the past should be forgotten aud woman should be recognized as the full equal of man ; otherwise sin- is a slave. She should have a fair division of the money ber labor has helped to earn. Too many men deny their wives the privi lege of putting their hands into the family purse and taking out what she really needs to satisfy her wants. The outdoor work will be mine, tbe husband should say, snd the household work my wife's ; wc will not ask each other for small amounts of money, and if there are large purchases to malte we will consult about them. The pocketbook will be placed wl e-e we can both getat.it. Why can't we trust our wives? Women have shown that they are intellectually the equals of men in all the colleges to which they have been admitted on an equal foot ing, and in many cases have taken first hon ors. When given a chance women have al ways shown themselves to be the equals of men, and are always more trustworthy. It is the endless monotony of woman's life that is filling our asylums with her sex. They have seven days hard work. Men only work six days. No true womau will ever ruin ber husband by extravagance. l.'X your wife know about your money matters, and she will be more economical than you are. I have a friend who married a city lady, snd took ber to live on a farm. His income has never been more thau $100 per year. He has placed a mortgage on his farm to satisfy the caprices of his wife, but has never told ber a word in regard to his finan cial matters. Had he confided in her they would not be in poverty to-day. Our laws are gradually coming to recognize the wife as ber husband's equal, and they will soon go a step farther. A man and his wife pay for their farm by their joint labor. She bas spent her life in hard work, but her husband dies, she receives interest on only one third of tbe farm her labor helped to buy. This it not right. We should fix our estates before dicing, so that 'the courts will not have to settle them for us. Don't put this off. but attend to it at once. My farm stands in my wife's name, and if I should die it will be hers. Our bank account has both of our names at the top of the ledger, and either of us can draw on it at will. Now, this is s jiretty high platform, ."nd I do not suppose all of my farmer friends can stand on it, but they can at least come np iisrt way. (iive your wife at least Ihe wages of a hired girl ; do not comel her to ask for it, and ten to one she will spend more of it for yoar comfort than she will for her own; She can feel that the money is hers, and she will delight to sjiend it for your comfort . Neverask your wife to render an ac;-ount for a single cent that you have given her. Make ber a full rtner in every sense, is all I can say. Music by the choir. ". Veterinary Science" was the next paper, read by Dr. George Brallicr, of Berlin. It was a most able defense of veterinary prac tice, and left no doubt in the minds of the audience that the doctor was master of his subject The doctor very correctly claims that the advancement in human practice is entirely due to tbe experiments that have been made on animals, and that tbe veteri nary is rapidly graining recognition and will soon fill a prominent place in the ranks of science. A whistling chorus by the cftoir called forth prolonged applause. Adjourned. TDTRSPAI MORXISO SESSION. The court room was densely crowded when tbe Institute was called to order at 9:00 a m. " How can we best maintain the fertility o'our soil?" was the first question on the program, and was assigned to S. F. Riyman, of Berlin. Mr. Rayman was unable to te present aud bis manuscript was read by Senator CritcbGeld. ne strongly advocated the use of such fertilizers as the soil de mands, and that all hay grown on the farm should be fed to stock. It costs as much to feed poor sti f r as a good one, snd we should strive to raise nothing but tbe best Valentine Hiy, Esq., advocated the use of commercial fertilisers wherever possible to increase the fertility of the soil, it should only be used until a good stand of clover bas been secured, since clover is unquestion ably the best fertilizer. Senator Critcbfield said phosphoric acid will call into play all the dormaut elements of the soil ; but there is danger in using too much of il, fur fear of destroying the future fertility of tbe soil. In reply to the query, When do you sow wheat? Wm. Barnhart said: "I want my plowing done as soon as possible after har vest. It should be done at least a month before seed time. Tbe soil wsnts to be well harrowed and rolled. I do toy seeding the first and second weeks of September, and use about U bushels to tbe acre. See that the seed Is not covered too deep not over sn inch. We always sow the " Foltr. " wheat ; use from 3- to IM bushels of lime to the acre ; you could not use so much over here ; usually raise three crops of wheat in succession ; the first crop is always the lest ; tbe more lime you hate in the soil, the more wheat you can raise; manure makes tie stalks tender. Wheat should never be cut until it is thoroughly ripe ; it is easier on the men and on tbe machinery if harvested when ripe. Never roll the ground after seeding." Senator Critcbfield said, in reply to a query : 'T am satisfied that Kentucky blue grass can be raised successfully in this coun ty ; it i; grown in Westmoreland and Fay ette." "Steele raising" was the next paper, read ly Teter Uefbey. "Somerset county, being located on the highest mountain range in the 8' ate, is peculiarly adapted to stork ruisim:, nmrh more so than to the cultiva tion of grain. It seems to rue that our farmers stand itl their own light In not teaming a lesson from from the English snd French, and instead of importing horses snd cattle from those countries should en deavor to supply other sections of our own country with pure bred stock. Horse buyers longer visit our market becaese ihey can not ssrars tlie Urge, besvy horses to be bsd hers p iw years since. As the merchant -tchrs the wsnts of his customers, so should farmers watch the requirements of the horse markets snd raise only what the market demands." Secretary Edge, of the Stats Board, said : 'Too lunch care cannot be taken in chang ing the food of cattle. A few quarts of meal is an excellent thing to give cows when changing from hay to grass. Horses should have a little less to est than they want and should always be fed at the same hour ; don't keep hay before your horses all the time." t Dr. Brallier differed from the views ex pressed by Mr. Edge. He said no hunian being can feel well and do a day's work who lives on buckwheat cases and sausage, and did not believe a horse could be kept in good condition on one kind of grain. He should have variety. Solo by Miss Walter. Valentino Hay, Esq., here gave an inter esting tulk on "Legal points for farmers." and, as one of the audience remarked, "it is the first time a lawyer was ever known to give legal opinions for nothing." Mr. Hay sa:d the first maxim of the law is that every man should know the law; but when we find judges and lawyers who do not know all of thu law, how can we expect farmers to know all of it? Tbe speaker discussed the fence law at length, but wound up with a confession that it is in such a chaotic con dition that there is not much to learn about it It is as much the duty of supervisors to ojen the roads through snow drifts as it is to remove other obstructions from them, aud they are liable if they do not do so on sufficient notice. Persons encroaching on public highs-ays with fences can be indicted ; they are liable if they do not point out dan gers to employes, such as warning them in regard to vicious cattle, etc ; they are liable for misrepresentations in horse trading. Su pervisors have a right to lead on any land to draiu water from the roads ; they can be compelled to erect index boards at all road crossings ; it is not necessary to publish trespass notices or to put them up on farms ; game and li-h are yours while on your lands, hut you cannot recover them on the lands of your neighbor. THI'KSOAY ArTEEXOO SKSSION. " Fence or no Fence," by Mr. Cooper, of Lancaster county. The fp-aker said he be lieved it practical to dispense with all inside fences. There are so many diversified legal opinions in regard to outside fences that I will not undertake to speak on that side of the question. It requires almost constant labor and exjwuse to keep up so many fences The fences on my father's farm cost him not less than $100 per year, and at the expiration of forty years had cost him, with interest, about f 11,000 ; all for fences which which were of no earthly use, except to keep cattle confined for a few months each sum iuer. I have had my eyes opened to the fence folly of my father. It might be ad visable to erect a fence around a permanent pasture, but nowhere else. Four-fifths of all division fences can be dispensed with. I would not erect a panel of fence on land only meant to grow field crops. Hsve your permanent pasture close to the barn and feed your cattle cornstalks cut up. cars and all ; I found by experiment that it will in crease the milk produce. 1 believe that if coas were kept in the barn the manure they would annually produce will more than pay for the extra trouble and all of the fellies. Land in Lancaster county is worth from i 11) 00 to $2i3.00 per acre, and we find it adiisuble to do without fences; and I should think it would be far more advisable in fkimertet county, where land is so much cheajier. " Fanners' Organizations " was the title of a pnjr read by Peter Miller, of Somerset tow nsh i p. Farmers should organise because organized effort can always gain its point All other classes have organisations, not ex cepting ministers of the gospel, and why, then, should not farmers organise for nui taal protection? The prosperity of the na tion depends upon the labors of the farmer, who makes up 52 per cent, of the total pop ulation. Even though he is in the majority, he is made to suffer from unequal taxation to such sin extent that it is impossible for him to make two per cent, on the invest ment in his land. Taxation without repre sentation is an old cry, but there is too much truth in it. The farmers need more representation in State and National legisla tion, and this can only be accomplished through orginizitiou ; we must learn to fire in volume. Farmers must elect men to office who are in sympathy with their eiforta. The speaker could not understand why some men cm accumulate vast fortunes while others remain poor; endorsed the free coinage of silver bill, and the bill authoriz ing the government to loan money on real estate. Farmers' organizations, he said, should be made up of men engaged in sgri cultnral pursuits. Others who find their way into our ranks should be regarded with suspicion. Self interest should be placed higher than party ties. We must clear the atmosphere of both political parties. Solo by Miss Shaffer. In response ton query, Secretary Edge said that the tax levy, so near as could be ascer tained, in Pennsylvania is H mills on tbe value of farms. Borough property is taxed higher, and city property higher than bor ough. " Itcforms needed in road making and road legislation " was assigned to J. R. Boose, of Rock wood, on the program, bat that gentleman being absent the subject was taken up for general discussion at once. Mr. Hay thinks a radical reform is needed in both branches. We make a great mistake in the meu we elect Supervisors. My theory is that a country road should not be worked more than 10 feet wide, instead of 32, as is usually done. Taxes should be paid in cash, but reduced by State appropriation. Mr. Terry said that land alongside a ma cadamized road is of more value than land that is not. There is more or less complaint abjut taxes in sections of Ohio where tbey have macadamized roads, hut none of tbe farmers would be willing to give tbein up. If firmer could only go around and see the beuefiis that would follow good roads they would not fight them. Mr. Edge cautioned the farmers to go very slow in recommending changes to the pres ent road law. There is nothing in the pres ent lnw to prevent suiervisors from macad aruizicg raids. Will tbe people of this coun ty aj;re to authorize the authorities to levy ten mills road tax ? If they are not, they cannot be too cautious. In my county, Chester, tbe rosds are let to the lowest and best bidder, and in that wsy a farmer can take a mile, or a section snd bsve the whole amount of his labor deducted from bis Highest ol all in Leavening Powerv Vr'ilafiW. AES0UU7ELV PWB tsxes. If a man does not wsnt tokeepnps section, he pays his tsx in cish. He must keep Ihe road up to ihe specifii-ations, and ho knows just what be has to do w hen he buys a section. From tbe further discussion that followed on this question, It was evident that the sen timent of those prrsent was cppoed to rec ommending a chai.gein the pretert read law and that no two persons hold the same ideas' in. regard ,.io making, roads. The greatest trouble seems to be that we have too many public roads and not enough private ones. Every man who has a lane from his bouse to a road has the court declare it a public bighwsy, snd the county is expected to keep it up. Ml B-DAV EVKSIHO SESSION. Music by the Choir. . . The first number on the program, " Neces sity of Educating Farmers' Daughters," wss assigned to Miss Flora Turner, of Pins Hill. Miss Turner not being present, Mr, Terry deliveied a half hour's talk on "A farmer's small fruit garden." He exhibited two large drawings of bis own garden and number of photographs of fruit grown on it. It will take an acre of ground to grow enough fruit for a moderate sized family. The garden should be fifteen rods long by eleven rods wide. Rotation of crops is ss necessary as on the farm ; you can not .grow the best veg etables year after year in the same ground. Strawberries should be set out each spring. Have one strip of clover, one of vegetables, and one of strawberries. As soon as you have gathered tbe berries, plow under and sow clover ; next year plant it in vegetables. These three strips will take about one-half your garden. Currants should come next, planted in a row about six feel apart They should have plenty of room to grow. Then plant two rows of black cap raspberries, one of red and one of purple ; two rows of black berries and two rows of grapes. Reasonable cultivation of such s garden will produce 12 to 13 bushels of strawberries, about 15 bush els of raspberries and blackberries, and six quarts of currants to the bush. I take care of raspberries just as I do of potatoes stir ring up the ground about them ; cover the ground between the rows thoroughly with straw ; I do not think we did five dollars worth of work on our raspberries last spring and we gathered about 35 bushels. Tbe straw keeps the the moisture iu the ground, and prevents failure in a dry season. To make them grow large, pinch off the top of new sticks when they have grown about knee high. Tbe next spring cut the tops down to shout four feet and trim the sides as you would a hedge. To secure large strawberries do not let them grow close together, snd they will grow as large as peaches ; all that is needed. is a little care. Before planting strawberries always throw the stalks into a pail of water, no matter where they come from, and put moist ground around the roots. Set them in the ground in a slanting position and spread out the tops. All that need be done to have good raspberries is to cut off the suckers frequently and musb with straw. Keep strawberries free from weeds the first year, and you will have no trouble with them afterwards. The closing number on the program was read by Miss Amanda Musselman, of Somer set, and was entitled " Formative Influences of Con u try Life." Asa literary production it was perhaps unexceptionable, and was read with charming grace and dignity. We will not attempt to reproduce any of the telling points made by the essayist Short addresses were made by the gentle mer,;from abroad, congratulating tbe farm ers of Somerset county on the success of the Institute. Adjourned. Many Bills Introduced. HBBissi-ao, Jan. IS. In tbe Senate to day bills were introduced ss follows : By Mr. Brown, of York, providing for a con vention to amend the constitution ; also, a bill to insure better township roads. Uy Mr. Lloyd, of,- Cumberland, authorizing Conrts of Quarter Sessions to commit inebri stes to poor houses. By Mr. Woods of Mifflin, to reimburse counties for the money expended in the erection of bridges destroy ed by tbe June flood of 1SS9. By Mr. Grsdy of Philadelphia, to amend an act relating to husband and wife, defining their rights and power over their property and defining their rights in the real estate of each. By Mr. Logan, of Crawford, to provide for a credita ble display of Pennsylvania products at the Chicago Exhibition of IH'J'i. By Mr. McCreary, of Erie, to secure cred itors a share of the property when the dispo sition of it by the debtor is not equitable . also to validate private sales of real estate of descendeuts heretofore made under au thority of Orphan's Courts. A concurrent resolution was adopted thanking William H. Kembie for loanyig the State &iX,oo0 to relieve the flood sufferers. Cameron's Path is Clear. II veribbcbo, Jan. 10. It is about as cer tain that Senator Cameron will be re-elected to-morrow, as it is that Governor Pattison ill be inaugurated. Tbe hostiles who have been dancing the ghost dance with Taggart had a caucus to-night, and will have anoth er to-morrow morning at .0, bnt after the meeting Mr. Taggart virtually conceded Cameron's election on the first ballot. Theie were only 11 at his caucus, and two of these BalwiD and Boyd, of Lancaster left it after declaring that they would vote for Cameron. It would take 22 bolters to dead lock the House and force an adjournment for a day. Mr. Tagitnrt said after the caucus that be had the pledges of several others who wtre not here to-night, but not enough to accom plish his purpose. There will be no votes against Cameron in tbe Senate. Koch's Lymph. Berlin, Jan. 1". Professor Koch's report as published to-day describing the composi tion of bis lymph, is comparatively brief. It says the lymph consists of a glycerine ex tract derived from the pure cultivation of the tubercle bacill is. Dr. Koch describes at length the result of his experiments on guinea pigs and said that his first impressions of its effects of human beings has been confirmed by reports from various contrles. The lymph is a derivative from albumen, bnt is not tox albumen, that agent which contains a mass of narcotic substance attacking even certain tonad tis sues. Professor Koch condoles with s reference to the duration of the remedy. Of tbe con sumptive patients, whom he described ss temporarily cured, two have returned to the iloabit Hospital for further observation. Xo further bacilli have appeared in theirsputum for the past three months and their physical symptoms have gradually and completely disappeared Ceorgs Bancroft Dead. Wasbikutos, Jan. 18.
