The introduction of a hill into the State
I-efcisbture, by Hon. John Cessna, of
P-cdlord, appropriating f",000 "to pur-
hsse the site of the birth-place of James
Buchanan and to erect a monument to
his memory," is about on a par with the
nominating of Judge Jackton to the Su
preme Tench by President Harrison.
A Democratic organ asserts that " the

The Hon. William Walter Phelps is
the luckiest man in politics. When Le

lin be can come directly home to become
a ly Ju.lpe in New Jersey under a IVju

In' tbe Taggatt-Ksker legislative con
test the question will be settled whether
students at college can cast their votes
in tLcdLtrict wherein the college w lo
cated. This qu stioo has been settled
by the courts, but it has never yet come
before the Legislature, which is the judge
of the qaaliScitions of its members. To
an outsider it would seem that resident
of Pittsburg attending a college tempora
rily in Scranton coold not ote in the lat
ter place, and tlmt is the exact status of
adairs in Montgomery county. Xot only
were the students not entitled to vote in
Montgomery county, but s ime of theni
were foreigners and not entitled to vote.
Mr. O-Eveland has advised his Demo
cratic friends in Congress that he regards
the repeal of the Sherman law as of pri
mary importance. We fear this f ppal
w ill cot 1 heeded, unless it shall be ac
companied by something that shall off-r
a substantia! and pecuniary advanteg to
the Democracy.
Let Mr.CleTelacd advise his friends in
Congress to sell silver "shor;" and then
piss a silver repealing act and reap the
profit which the inevitable decline in
silver would yjeld. It would be a hand
some profit and it is said that there are
many Democratic ( ongressmen who are
not opposed to making an occasional
turn in Wall etrett.
The great powers of Europe have their
greedy eyes on Hawaii. England leads,
with France and Germany close in her
rear. But either one would prefer tc se
the United States in command rather
than any one of the European powers.
Not one has a single legal claim. They
are far removed ; they are not connected
by commerce ; the people cf the islands
have not asked their intervention. But
all these indications are in favor of the
United States. Whatever does happen,
no European power will be permitted to
fasten its claws upon Hawaii. The Pa
cific Ocean is a large body of water and
Uncle Sam's ships, which are increasing
in number, need other resting places be
sides the main shore ; and this is an op
portunity of a lifetime to get one.
A New Kansas Senator.
Jmle John Martin was elected to succeed
Senator Perkins in the United State Senate
at T(ptka, by a combination ofTopulisu
and Democrats. Ninety-one members par
ticipated in the election, the Republicans re
fraining from voting on call of roll. The
Populists and three Democrats voted for
Martin.
Jadgs Martin has been a leading Demo
crat of Kansas ever since there were any
Democrats in the state. He Las m&de the
race for Conirress in bis district several times,
and once, four years ago, he undertook the
thankieas ta-k of running for Governor on
the straight Democratic ticket, in the face
of a Kepublican majority of 60,000. WLen
the Farmers' Alliance developed into the
Populist party, Judge Marlin mged the
Democrats to unite with them, not so much
to secure the victory of Populist principles
nd Populist men as to beat the Republi
cans. His counsel prevailed, and the result
at the hut election is well known.
Jackson Succeed9 Lamar.
Washikhtox, D. C, Feb. i The nomica
tion of Circuit Ja ir-e Howell E. Jackson, of
Tennesie, to I a Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States, in the place of
the late Jus'ii I.amar, created considerable
'alk at the Car ito! to day. The general im
pression, however, amon those Democraiic
Senators with whom the Timet correspond
ent talked, indicated that the Domination
would be confirmed. In the Tennessee del
egation in Congress the:e were nothing hut
the kindest words for the new appointee,
atid the fact that he waa formerly a Senator
will a-Id in smoothing the way to confirma
tion. As soon as the nomination is conSrmed,
the Prcsi.iecl will send in the name of a Re
publican for the vacancy on the Circuit
Bench, caused by Jtadfre Jackson's promo
tion, but there wss no goaip to-day as to
whom this fortunate Republican would be.

Half Rata Tickets for Clergymen on
the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Pursuing tbe policy inaugurated last year,
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company Is sup
plying regularly ordained ministers of the
tiOfel with clerical orders entitling the
holders to tickets at half rates over its entire
system. These tickets are pnrchaseable by
any clergyman exhibiting a "clerical order,"
and they my be bought at any station on
the Pennsylvania system, bath eart and
westof Pirtsburg, at one-half tbe regulir
rates. Under this arrangement clergymen
may secure ha-f-rates to Chicago during the
World s Fair, and there can be no djubt
that a great many of them will avail them
selves of the oppartunity. The inaugura
tion of this liberal privilege by the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company last year met with
hearty appreciation at the bands of the min
isters of all denominations, and its continu
ance this year will be especially well receiv
ed by reason of tbe advantage it carries in
connection with the World's Fair.

The Possessive Case.
Last week I bad the pleasure of attending
tbe stssions of the Farmers' Institute of this
County. It was a great treat, and I fclt that
the farmer who could not appreciate it is
doomed to sit in tbe thadow of ignorance
all hi life. Some of the discussions brought
out quite a number of speakers, among
whom tbe pupils of tbe old Normal were
conspicuous as nsual, not only tor their
good English but their good sense and gen
eral information. We believe that the prea
er.t crop of boys and girls will not be behind
them when their turn comes, and as there
are more of tbcm, that our tky will shine
brighter than ever in the necr future. We
will now resume our lessou by giving ad
ditional examples of noons to be changed
from the singular to the plural, and rtce
1. The report p&ys high tribute to tbe
Admirals who have at different times been
Superintendent of tbe Observatory.
2. Thirty millions was spent by those
who depended for their livings and for that
of their families upon their daily toil.
3. In tbe inlercjta of better schools we
seek an intelligent and cordial co-operation
of all tbe (actors of educational progress.
4. The bill is specially designed to re
lieve the Judges of the responsibilities of
making such appointments.
5. The others were defective in part, and
the person casting them would have lost
their vote on some of the offices.
u. Mr. Foster has been intimately associ
ated with the diplomatic services of the
United States.
7. Persons whote general health is im
paired are the first to fall preys to epidem
ics. Additional examples of verbs that fail to
ad.ee with their subjects :
1. For generations tbe carriage-horses in
the States baa been a distinct race, and baa
never been spoiled by any mixture of cart
blood. 2. There was at least three large eating
Btands, besides tables at which three hund
red could sit down at once.
3. The glorious stars and stripes bad
been intuited, and there was not wanting
b'ave men to even sacrifice life to resent
that insult.
1. The Dai! it Xcwt has laborej to achieve
thi end and have shown up the dives in all
(of; their hi'leousness.
5. This congregation is straggling to
build anew church, and are worthy of assis
tance from the Christian public
U. The object of these tests is to deter
mine which variety of beets contain the
most saccharine matter.
T. Threshers report that grain, such
wheat, rye and cats are not aa average
cr.-p.
We often meet with errors both in th
form and use of the possessive case. Some'
times the possessive n not used where it
should be, as in the following example
"G. W. Knepper, one of tbe graduates from
the Somerset public schools this year," in
stesd of " one of this year's graduates from
the Somerset public schools." The termi
nation ' is often omitted, thereby convert-
ing tbe noun into an adjective, or s' substi
luted, so as to put it in the form of the plu
ml instead of the singular. There is also
confusion ia forming the possessive singtt
lar of proper names and other couns ending
in s, hi ia the cases of Collins the merchant
and Hicks the statesman, by the use of
instead of s", or, as we sometimes see it, s'a.
Iu each of the following examples use the
pro:r form, the nouns being of tbe singu
lar number :
1. Where the merchant-princes son and
the mechanic rub elbows and become broth
era.
2. If such there be they will not be long
without the seasons cheer, if they consult
the 77.a.
3. He had a retentive memory and often
recalled the scenes in Patterson Park.
i. He is employed in tbe Reading Rail
road Company freight-office.
5. It is claimed that the victim caused
Bank's (his) discharge.
(i. Tbe place to bur your rice is at Col
lin's, only 5 cents per pound.
In the plural the possessive takes tbe ter
mination s', except in certain irregular plu
rals, for we write "men's, women's and chil
dren's shoes." In tbe following use the form
of the possessive plural :
1. As there is to be a special citizen's cel
ebration in tbe afternoon the schools shall
meet in their respective rooms.
2. I take pleasure in calling my many
patron's notice to the fact that the season
fast approaching.
3. The Prohibition meeting next Wed
nesday evening is to be held in the Disciple
Church.
4. Mrs. PUtt arrived home on Monday
af-er ten days sojourn among friends in
rittsburg.
o. Geor-re Stacer has opened a shop next
door to tbe Wclshon's building on Main
street.
a. Children's and boy's clothing, ages
from four to nineteen years.
Correct the following sentences so that
ei-h will contain an example of a noun in
the possessive case with a participle depend
ing upon it :
1. The light punishment was due to tbe
counsel for the prosecution recommending
leniency.
2- Jack Bamett has become tired of John
L. Sullivan using him for a punching-bag
and a door-mat.
3. Tbe agitation resulted in tbe govern
ment withdrawing from the company hold
ing the concesiion.
4. He was told that there was no objec
tion to him having a companion, if be could
find one that would bunk with him.
o. Mr. Harrity was asked at Philadel
phia last night, ' What about yoa having
place in the cabinet?'
!. I am astonished at you undertaking
such a difficult matter without a thorough
training in Europe.
7. la Colorado it is very dry, on account
of it not raining ia the summer seison.
t-oirect the following so tnat each may
contain a pronoun in tbe possessive case :
1. air. riclliue s mill presents a very
busy appearance, and be is running to bis
utmost capacity. fUr. Friedline's mill,
which he is running to its utmost capacity,
presents a very buy appearance.)
2. It is to be hoped that a full harvest of
river ics will be garnered, so that the price
of it will be within the reach of all.
3. When persons pass by either on horse
back or in a vehicle, having no deadly wea

In sentences like tbe following where
nouns and pronouns are in apposition, or

FARMER'S INSTITUTE.
Tbe Largest Attendance ani Kost
Successful Gathering of Hus
bandmen in the History of
tbe County.
The Somerset County farmer who failed
to attend ibe session of tbe Farmers' Insti
tute in the Court House but week missed a
good thirg.
He missed more than that He missed an
opportunity to learn many important things.
He missed learning a few things that could
not fail to have been of inestimable value to
him : bow to make farming more profita
ble; bow to detect frauds in fertilizers; how
to make unproductive acres yield good
crops; bow to tell which of Lis cows makes
tbe most butter; bow to make bis fruit trees
bear fruit every season, etc. Then, too, he
missed interchanging views with farmers
from opposite sections of the county ; mined
tbe excellent literary treat prepared by the
ladies on tbe program ; missed the sweet
singing of the talented Miss Laugblin and
of tbe gifted Mr. Scisson, (who evidently
learned what be knows about farming, as
well as what he knows about trimming his
whiskers, from Horace Greely.) The social
features of the institute were among its chief
charms, as all who were present will testify.
Farmer cannot afford t- miss opportunities
such as these annual institutes afford for
their instruction and entertainment and
keep step with the young farmers of to-day.
They may never sin have an opportunity
of learning wisdom from the lips of Prof.
Heiges, who has devoted his life to the
study of the science of agriculture aud who
enjoys tbe proud distinction of being one of
tbe foremost scientists of tbe day. How
many farmers in Somerset county have ever
given a thought to the pheuomina of plant
life ; to how trees feed and breathe ? Prof.
Ueigea explained all this and many other
things in relation to the subject iu an in
tensely interesting lecture.
However, bad more farmers and their
wives and daughters been in attendance at
the institute j .st i-lotcd we do not know
where they could have found a place to sit
in the court room. As it was every availa
ble scat was occupied throughout ail the
sessions and hundreds of persons were com
pelled to sta:,d ; while Hill others could not
gain admission to the room, owing to the
great crowd. Farmers from every section of
the county were preset aud all returned to
their homes delighted with the knowledge
they had gtiined and the pleaiant social
time they bad enjoyed.
As we said before the farmer who can and
who fails toaUend these annual meetings of
farmers knows not what be is mining. It
is impossible in the space at our disposal to
give mote than a brief synopsis of the many
interesting subjects discussed.
Tuesday afternoon's session was opened by
Prof. Heiges, who responded to the query :
" How can potato rot be prevented ?" ' I
would not allow potato rot to come on my
premises," said Mr. llsiges ; " An ounce cf
prevention is worth a pound of cure. I
have found the following tbe beat means of
getting rid of tbe rot: Dissolve two pounds
of sulphate of copper in hot water, six
pounils of lime slaked in six gallons ol wat
er, one-fourth pound of Paris greeu and one
quart aijus amonia. Dump all of these in
gredients into a barrel of 52 gallons capacity
and fill it with water. I have fouud this
mixture sufficiently strong to destroy both
bugs and roL It should, be distributed in
the following manner : Plae the barrel on
the front carriage of a one-horse wson ;
bore boles in thc opposite sides of the barrel
near bottom ; insert two small rubber hos2
into the holes and attach the nozzle of a
sprinkler to the pieces of hose. A man can
carry a piece of hose in each hand aud by
walking between the rows he can sprinkle
all cf thc plants with tbe mixture in the
most effective and economical way."
In response to another query Prof. Heiges
said the origin of peach yellows remained a
mystery and that one of the surest indica
tions of its approach as the ripening, of
fruit out of season.
Secretary Edge opened the session proper
with an intensely interesting talk on "Frauds
ia Fertilizers." "There are probably more
frauds in animal ground bone than in all
other kinds of fertilizers," said Mr. Edge.
"It may be worth $2J a pound and it may
be worth $43 per pound. Hard bones are
used for many purpose?, buttons, umbrella
handles, etc., they are the valuable ones as a
fertilizer and command the highest price.
The soft bones are valueless and are dear at
any price. Vt hen a manutacturer puts an
adjective in front of his bone phosphate look
out for it. Acid is the guage of bone. The
finer tbe bone is ground the better.
There is no such a thing as a complete
fertilizer. When an agent tells yoa be has
such an article he simply lies. The differ
ence between ground bone and South Caro
lina rock is as great es the difference be
tween a toby and a ten cent cigar. Soutl,
Carolina rock is only made available by tbe
use of phosphoric acid. The higher the
grade yoa buy the better.
Remember this when yoa are examining
phosphate: the first line of figures oa the
sack is to make you buy and the last one is to
sell to yoa. Always buy fertilizers with the
lowest degree of moisture. Do not remove
it from the railroad station unless it con
tains exactly what the label on the bags calls
for. Farmers as a rule look at the price
rather than the quality. When yoa buy a
bushel of grain yoa do not want one naif
chaff. It is the cheapest in the end to buy
nothing bat tbe highest grade. The Euglish
farmer understands this better than we do.
Tbey do not look at the price and themanu-
facturers supply the goods they want. The
cheaper yoa buy it the more the manufact
urer makes out of yoa. The Suite Board of
Agriculture is after tbe manufacturer all the
time, and I believe that the goods sold in
this State can generally be relied upjQ. Tbe
law of Pennsylvania as now enforced saves
the farmers from four to five hundred thous
and dollars per year."
Frof. Heiges a Ivised tbe farmers to touch
the eultitivatien of beets foruar very light
ly. The soil of Pennsylvania is not adapted
to nourishing beets properly. He recom
mended the growing of the German parsnip
for feeding cows. It furnishes more cutri
ment than beets or any similar vegitable.
Our Part, was the subject of a highly
interesting easy read by Miss Martha Critch
field, of Jenner township. Miss Critchfield
prefaced ber remarks with the statement
that in everything man has accomplished be
has early solicited the aid of womia. We
need only t) look to the pages of the past
to see what prominent parts in the world
women have filled. The essayist made an
earnest plea for the women of the home and
could see no merit in the strona minded
women of the public platform. Her sssy
was greeted with generous applanse and was
bigbly complimented by members of the
institute.
Tbe extension of tbe public school term
was next taken up and discussed by mem
bers of the Institute. Tbe sentiment of the
Institute was largely in favor of tbe present
six months term and in favor of compulso
ry education.
Miss Addie Boucher, of Glade, who had
been assigned tbe first place on tbe program
at Tuesday evening's session, was detained
at home. She sent her essay, How to En
joy Life on the Farm," which was read by
Senator Critchfield. The essay was very well
prepared and provoked quite a lengthy dis
cussion. Nearly all of tbe sneakers unin
with tbe sentiments of tbe essayist, who
maintained that love for nature is the first
requisite of tbe truly happy farmer.
Phineas Compton, of Eiklick, read an in-
struct ire paper on "Farming, a 8tudy." Mr.
Compton truthfully asserted that as much
intelligence is required to farm prjfitably
and correctly as is required in other avo
cations in life. The most successful farmer
be who has had the benefit of special
training. Mr. Compton's paper was filled
with wholesome thought a'ij good sugges
tions, and dieted tbe closest attention on
the part of the large audience.
The Canada thistle ca!ld for the usual
amount of discussion. The best method to
prevent its sp-rading is said to be to strip

Prof. He!gcs delivered a lecture at tl is
session on " Froit Colture." Mr. Heiges is
master cf every subject be undertakes to dis
cuss and the information he volunteered in
regard to tbe cultivation of small fruit was
of the greatest value.
At Wednesday morning's session J. G.
Kimmell, of Stonycreek township, read a
paper on " Legislation needed by Farmers."
X r. Kimmell pointed out many defects in
existing laws affecting rural districts and
made a number of valuable suggestions. He
would have the d:g tax increased ; a com
pulsory school la; revised road laws;
graded schools in rural districts, etc.
At tbe suggestion of Senator Critchfield a
vote was taken on the desirability of a com
pulsory school law and a six months term.
The unanimous sentiment of the Institute
wss in favor of both. Jbe Institute also de
clared in favor of the retention of the pres
ent act prohibiting the sale and manufact
ure of oleomargarine.
A. C. gcisson, of Lackawanna county, de
livered an instructive lecture on "Maple
Syrup and Sugar." He recommended that
tin backets be used for collecting sap, also
that tin tubes be used. Tbe buckets aiiould
be covered in order to keep oat rain and
dirt. He also advised that after the spout is
removed from the tree tbe wood be permit
ed to become thoroughly dry when it should
be painted with a mixture of linseed oil and
venitian red. He gave many other import
ant points of information to tbe manufac
turers of maple sap.
Mr. Scission favored the institute with
several admirable recitations and songs.
He ia auiteanold man, but his voice ia
clear and musical.
At Wednesday afternoon session Prof.
Heiges explained that club foot in cabbage
is brought about by cultivating cabbage too
long in the same soil.
In response to a question Senator Critch
field said be was afraid no road legis
lation would be passed this wiuter. He be
lieves, however, that the bill introduced in
the house extending the term of Supervisors
from one to three years will become a law.
and that it will in a measure result in better
roads.
Prof. Heiges said it is just as impossible to
tell whv some clover seed is yellow and
some purple as it is to tell why some parent
hmxa blonde and brunette children. One
color of clover seed possesses as much vital
itv as another.
Valentine Hay, Em., in a two minutes
speech, urged tbe passage of legislation com
peliiog railroad companies to furnish reason
able transportation facilities for local ship
pers of freight.
At this juueture the regular program for
tbe afternoon was taken up, when Prof.
Heiges delivered a highly satisfactory lecture
on " Milk Tests." Tbe speaker illustrated
his remarks by making actual experiments
in the nresenos of the Institute. Frank
lin, of London," he said, " was the discov
erer of the best method for testing milk up
until recently, but his method was entirely
too expensive and required a chemical labor
atory. Some time aco a method which I will
now explain was discovered that should be
taught boys and girls in tbe public schools.
(The eit-eriiueuU were made with a small
tin tub Dlaced upon a churn. A number of
small tubes were partially filled with milk
of different qualities accurately measured
To tbe milk was added an equal quantity of
sulphuric acd and tbe' tube was then filled
with boiling water. The tubes were then
placed in the tub and submerged in hot
water, after which tbe churn was turned
fur six. minutes. The result of this test
showed one pound of butler fat from every
100 pounds of skimmed milk. One-fifth of
one per cent, was the butter fat shown from
the first milk taken from a cow ; Four and
three-tenth per cmt. from full milk. Seven
and one-half per cent, the last milk from a
cow, and from whi. h 14 pounds of butter
can be made from every 1U0 pounds of milk.)
Much of the profit on butter depends npon
clean milking. It is not fair to compare the
first months' milk of a cow with ibe milk of
a cow that has been in for several months.
The latter is much the more valuable.
Yoa can not tell tbe quality of the milk
by the color, blue milk is jest as rich as
yellow, aud for this reason it ia impossible
to tell which cow is tbe most profitable
without making an actual test of the milk
Cows are very sensitive animals and too
great care csn not be exercised to prevent
them from taking chills. Anything affect-
in? the constitution of tbe cow will, affen
the milk. Cruel treatment will also cause
the butter to run down ; anything that
afferts their nervous system will affect their
capacity to retain and conceal butter fat.
Cows should be milked at regular hours,
always.
C B. Moore, of Middlecreek township,
read a carefully prepared paper defendin
tbe practice of dehorning cattle. He said
his first impression was that the practice
was both cruel and barberous, but upon in
quiry be learned that be was mistaken. The
operation can be performed almost painless
ly and it is remarkable to observe bow quiet
an J gentle cattle become afier bing dehorn
ed.
Mr. Scisson volunteered the information
that by applying caustic acid the growth of
horns can be prevented on young cattle. A
pinch is all that is necessary to accomplish
this result and it dies away with tbe cry
against dehorning cattle according to Mr.
Scisson.
Ten cents worth of hepar of sulphur nail
ed to the bottem of the dnnkmg vessel :n a
chicken yard will prevent cholera among
chickens, Mr. Scisson says.
Val. Hay, Esq , in reply to a query, urged
tbe enactment of a law taxing money in
vested in lite insurance.
Miss Tiliie Maurer, of Stoyestown, read an
e?ssy on "The Mother in the Home." The
essayist bas the rare faculty of reading in a
tone that could be heard in all parts of the
room. Her essay was filled with wholesome
suggestions and was one of the best prepared
papers read before tbe Institute.
Chairman " Milt" Beacby, said in reply to
a question that be always tapped sugar trees
on the side exposed to the morning sun. 4)
barrels of sap will produce a barrel of sugar.
Owing to the absence of Mr. W. H. Walk
er, of Stonycreek township, wbo was on the
program for a paper on ''Raising Cattle for
Profit," his production was read by Prof. J.
J. Stulzman. Tbe paper was well received
by the audience and bore every evidence
that Mr. Walker bad Cirefully and earnest
ly studied the subject.
Miss Darl Walter, of Gebbarts, opened th
evening session with an essay on "Educa
tion for Farmers' Daughters." Tbe essay
was an earnest appeal for better schools and
the higher education of women. Miss Wal
ler pointed with just pride to the positions
attained by those of ber sex wbo have be
come prominent in the professions from
which they bad been debarred for so many
years, and Instanced tbe fact that the lead
ing thinkers of America of both sexes first
saw the light of day in the quiet farm
homes.
Prof. Heiges lecture on "Phenomena of
Plant," delivered at this session was un
questionably tbe most instructive and en
tertaining lecture ever delivered before a
body of farmers intbis'connty, and it is to be
regretted that every farmer in the county
could not bear it.
One statement from his lecture that will
prove profitable to all fruit growers who read
it is this : . " After an experience of IS years
I have found it possible to make all of my
fruit trees bear fruit every season. I do it in
this way. When an apple tree is over bur
dened with froit I provide myself with a
long pole and knock off as many of tbe ap
ples when they have grown to tbe size of
a shelled walnut as I think necessary in
order that the tree may properly nourish
what is ltfl. In this way tbe tree preserves its
strength and will produce fruit every season.
