And whv should not the farmers adont broad tiros for their burden wagon T Iron is cheap ; cheaper now than it has ever been. I he broad tiro helps to keep roads in order, lessens the load to the horses, and preserves the wagon. In the earlv periods of this country when there were practically no roads, the broad tires were common, and after nike roads were established the val ue of a broad tire to the roads was recognized in the reduction of tolls to the wagon with a broad tire below those charged wagons with a nar row tire. Why can we not go back to the very sensible and economical lire common in our early nwtory T On Saturday next, fnotli inuf 1 tlm subscribers to inemborshin in the anyaer county Fish Protective As sociation, aro requested to moot at tho court housoiu Middloburgh, at 10 o clock A. M.. for tho niirnnmt nf finally organizing said association. 1 ho abovo may drop as a surnriso to many of our citizens who are not subscribers to tho membership, and it may not bo out of placo to stato here a few of tho reasons why our poople doom it of incalculable bono- fit to effect such an organization. For many years-in fact ever since our food fishes have become scarcer every year it has been the general talk that somo nioaus ouuht to be provided by which our inland streams could bo replenished with fish that are known to havo inhabited them years ago, and such other specios as are adapted to our streams. Our State board of Fish CoimmHsionir havo dono a groat deal towards this and, particularly in furnishing brook trout and black bass, (cam not ex cepted but by experience not foun desirable) but other varieties so much dosirod by our people, such as Hock Uass, White B.iss. Perch, etc.. havo been scarco and the first lot o Rock Bass that havo ever conio to our stream (Mid.Uoerook) at this point were furnished toll. II.

This Booms to have given more fcueouraeouient to our citizens than anything that had been done in tho past. It has been known as a fact that ever since the reservoirs were dut? along the Penn'u Canal thousands of all kinds of lish coino down from tho livers abovo Sliainokin Dam evei v fall and stop 111 tho resorvoirs ami after tho water is drawn out of the canal they remain thei o and dio dur ing tho winter. For years the citi zens ulong the river advised our peo ple here to take out those fish and deposit thorn in tho stream here, but owiugtothoexpeu.se but few were willing to go into any such arrange ments, and while overv bodv admit- ted that it was tho only way wo could keep our streams stocked, vet noth- ing was dono but talk, until last luosday, when H. H. Grimm deter mined tojuuko 1111 effort to accom plish something in tho way of earnest work. Ho drew up four petitions. one for this place, 0110 for Paxton villo, ono for Boavertown and one for Adamsburg, tho petitions agree ing to pay a membership feo of nun dollar which will accumulate a Hii!li- ciout fund to purchaso all the nec essary equipments to carry out 1 h objects of tho association, and on Friday evening wo wero astonished to find Si I names on the list I ioi'ii u-it 1 1 enough others who are known to bo willing to join to run it up to some sixty mombers.

Secretary of Agriculture Ed. says one ot the chief difficulties he finds in holding a farmers' institute for tho first time iu a locality is the provaleut belief that it is a scheme out of which Bomobody wants to mako money. "Tho farmers invuii. ably imagiue somobody has some thing to soil." said Mr. Eden vHt.- day, "and the result is that th don't tako to' the luey imagine iH money making scheme." bcoieiarv Edc l,AU .1 Biory illustrating this fact.

Mr. Heister was to ilisnn pruning, and that ho might give a practical demonstration of his mh. gcstioiuho took with hi 111 a litrirn branch of a tree. As tho two passed up tho aislo, the assembled horny handed sous of tho soil evu.l t Imm suspiciously, and their suspicions settled into a certainty when thov saw Mr. Edge's circular and Mr. Iiostor's branch.
