"Spring Plowing vs. Fall Pl.nviug,"

Hay sii l that billy land and thin soil

under oposiic conditions Le would advise-that

Thursday afternoon session was opened
by a piano solo by Air. Bruckingmiller,
of Johnstown, followed by saere.l music.
A number of fanners, some aecompan-
icd bv their wives and daughters, had ar
rived on the mid-day trains, and s-aclied
the attendance at this session to a good
size.
"Best Food for Mileh Cows," was tiri-t
taken up and discussed . The consensus
of opinion appeared to lie that gotnl clover
hay makes the best rough teed, and that
the ls-.-t grain ration should eonsUt of
two-thirds bulk wheat bran and tun
third oats or barley chopin-d.
I !. Beachy, ia response to u (,i: ry,

and he may attain greatness and honor,

Another interesting talk at this session
was git' eu by Mr. Jere.niah Sieva.a.is, of

length upon the composition of soils and
the decomposition (f the minerals con

speaker en.Ieavore 1 to convey to his aud

The Ijh-.i Institute hebl at Berlin on
j Saturday, Iks-. t.'Mh, was quite a success,

i were not calculated to inc.-ea.-e the altem!-
am e from the s'lrroumlirg niimtry. hut
: the ntii-ielnii.-e l.y tl, .-iil.-ns of the town
I was large. The w ork and exercises oi
I the institute were not lessened or de-
creased by these outside, influences, but
were up to the usual standard.
Prof. W. H. Krt-tchman was chosen
Chairman ; Miss MJith Zorn, Vice I'resi
dont; ?diss Maggie Kticppcr, Secretary;
Miss Nora Critehtield, Assistant Secreta
ry, Miss tirace Kimmt-1, ipjery Manager.
Tiie forenoon session was occupied in
organization and the discussion of a few
queri.si relating to school work by Messrs.
W. A. Sei'iert, J.ih. K. Mason, I'rof. I".er
key and others.
The afternoon session was one of much
interest and the hall was comfortably
tilled. Addresses on the "Belation of
Citizens lind Birectors" by Ir. Shaw, and
"The Curse of Ignorance," by Prof.
Speicher, Were well received. Kx'S'lIent
pa;ers were read by Miss Nora Critch
licld on "Si hool Pniiishmeiit ;" "The Or
igin of the llnglish Language," by Miss
Nellie Hellley, and "Kssential KlemenLs
of tJtMxl Itts-itation Work," by Miss
Crni-c Kiminel.
The. e pajs-rs contained much that is
valuable to the live teacher, and show ed
tie; advanced position of tiiese young
teachers in their work. Iaist but Ly no
means least was a talk by Br. Bruinliaugh
on "Commercial Ueogrq hy." This was
one of the best and most ptaetinil educa
tional talks ever delivered lit fore any I'j
eal institute iu the w l iter's knowledge.
The institute was preceded on Friday
evening by.a school entertainment, w hic'u
ismsisted of dialogues recitations songs,
Ac, and was a credit to the teachers, the
pupils and the citizens of the town. We
must not forget the Ik.vs and girls of the
advanced room, who furnishi-d such
splendid m usie for the institute on Satur
day. 'n Saturday night Br. Brumluiugh de
livered his lecture, "TheTecheCour.try,"
to a large and appreciative audience.
This was truly a grand treat for our
;wi.d and the only fault found, though
it lasted nearly two hours, was that the
Br. did m.t talk longer. Anyone who has
an opportunity to hear this grand lecture
and does not cmbra'-e it misses a treat not
often afforded any people.
While speaking tif school ti.lcrtuiii
ments, local institutes and letsturts, we
may as w( 11 add that our public schools
are moving along splendidly. Prof.
Kretcliiiiaii, w ith his able assi.tarits is
doing excellent work. A visit to the dif
ferent rooms w iil con im-s anyone of the
spirit of genuine advancement and pro-grc.s-rveui-sH

public way that wc :ippr. ciate your un

Business is still lagging in our ancient
town, i'.r.d evidently v. ill lag until tirover
