FARMERS' INSTITUTE
(Continued from Page Throe.)
sod, and all waste vegetable matter
should be plowed under, which In
time rots and makes excellent fer
tilizer. A question was brought to the at
tention of the speaker, the long
frozen state of the soli 'In Wayne
county. Under these conditions Mr.
Groupe advised that in cases where
the ground was frozen and also had
a layer of ice on Its surface, it would
be best to store the manure until the
ice had melted. This is an excep
tion of very raro occurrence.
Fred W. Card next gave a short
talk on the Growing of Fruits.
Propagation is one of the most im
portant .things in connection with
the production of good fruit. This
is brought about in two ways, that
is, budding and grafting. Mr. Card
gave a very interesting exposition
of the different ways of prunnlng,
planting and nursing young peach,
applo and pear trees. He emphasiz
ed the ono essential which is the
need of planting the trees deep
enough bo that there would be no
possibility of their raising out of the
ground.
A number of questions were asked
by the farmers and a lively interest
was displayed by all.
Prof. Clininpion Makes Address.
J. S. Champion, instructor of ag
riculture in the Honesdalo High
school, rendered a short and interest
ing discourse on the action of water
in different textures and kinds of
soil.
Prof. Cook was next introduced
and choso the subject of "Dairy Feed
ing and Production." Tho action of
the food eaten by tho cow has a
largo influence on tho test and qual
ity of its milk. It is thought by
some farmers that silage has a bad
effect in causing tho milk to either
smell or taste of silage. This is
without support, however, -as it has
been proven that in almost every in
stance without exception, careless
ness was the cause. An illustration
of this follows: When this statement
was made at one of the Institutes a
farmer Jumped up and stated that
silage did cause milk to smell and
taste of sllago, for. his customers
and homo folks were beginning to
complain about it. He was asked
if ho fed his tows beforo or after
milking nnd replied that ho always
fed them before, Did you leave any
silage lay around In that part of the
barn here you milked? No, sir,
fed them Uefore. "Did you leave any
your hands boforo milking," asked
the speaker? "Well, I don't think I
did," said the farmer, and he sat
barn where you milked?" "No, sir,"
what was the cause of his trouble.
This precaution should be taken and
also the milking should not bo done
where tho silage odor Is prevalent.
The only way that silage can effect
tho milk is after it has left the cow.
If this Is taken caro of you can de
pend upon it that your milk is all
right.
k Afternoon Session.

Poke, Pen, Pasture and Parlor," by
Fred W. Card, of Sylvania. The
speaker said that in England they
raise two kinds of pigs, the lard pig
and the bacon pig. These are not
adapted to our needs. What we need
is the intermediate breed. We also
need to obtain breeding animals.
Corn bred pigs prove to be tho best
in the long run. Quality of flesh and
disposition are important things to
consider.
Tho pig in tho pen is also Import
ant and his house should receive
more attention than it usually does.
The warmth of this house is also im
portant as the pig is the most unpro
tected animal. It is a good plan to
put the pig to pasture and especially
where alfalfa is growing. An acre
of this food will equal a ton of
grain. If this is not possible clover
will be a good substitute. It is also
a good plan to let tho pigs harvest
tho corn. The bedding of the pig
should not be allowed to got wot as
this causes rheumatism. Corn
should be the basis of food for the
pig, but it should not be used alone.
Skimmed milk should be added to
the corn In order to preserve entire
healthfulncss. Middlings and oil
meal also make a good food for
young pigs. The best time to dis
pose of pigs is when they are young
and weigh from 175 to 225 pounds.
Tills is because they put this weight
on within six months and advance
very slowly thereafter.
The next lecture was a discussion
on the advantages obtained from
growing clover which was rendered
by J. Stuart Groupe. The one thing
that Mr. Groupe desired to impress
on tho minds of tho farmers was tho
great fertilizing value of this pro
duct. The talk was short and receiv
ed excellent attention.
cation of a reduction in ,the price of
the retail garment? And If so, who
Is to bo beneiltted? The American
farmer who is going to get a lower
price for his wool or the garment
maker who will have to work at re
duced wages in order that he may
compete successfully with the cheap,
ready-made shoddy that it is admit
ted will be imported in large quanti
ties within the next few months?
Evidently Democrats at Washing
ton, frightened by their failure to
make good promises or reductions in
the "high cost of living," are looking
about for some means of stemming
the rising tide of public indignation
as the people como to a realization
of the hoax that has been prepetrated
upon them. Therefore, they are put
to tho desperate straits of another
investigation of tho cause of high
prices. Think of it, after all their
campaign tirades against the poor old
tariff as tho original Influence re
sponsible for big grocery bills and
ever growing living expenses! If the
situation were not so serious the pre
dicament in which the Democratic
party at present finds itsolf would be
laughable indeed. Harrisburg Tele

REDUCING TRICES.
Tho Patriot this morning expres
ses a desire to call the attention of
Republican newspapers to its asser
tion that tho new tariff is really go
ing to reduce high prices. Evidently
the Patriot has not observed that
thoughtful Democrats in Washington
are even now contemplating an in
vestigation into the cause of high
prices, with a view to finding some
way in which they may be lowered.
When tho Underwood tariff law
became effective as to imports in
general, even Republicans confident
ly looked forward to some slight
cuts in tho cost of living hero and
there, although they realized that
such reductions could be made at tho
expense of tho American manufac
turer and worklngman. who would
be deprived of a marke't for their
goods In proportion to tho amount of
tho imports consumed hero. But In
stead of going down, under tho new
tariff, prices have advanced to tho
consumer. Farmers, for instance,
are complaining that they are getting
only fifteen cents a pound wholesale
for turkeys this year, as against sev
enteen last year, while the cost in the
retail market is from three to five
cents higher. Wherein is the farmer
or the consumer benefitted?
As to the 5,000,000 that it has
been said has been saved on the inv
Cleveland Mini Perfects Clinical Re
cording Machine.
To work for 15 years on an inven
tion, and after it had been perfected
and proved effective to turn over the
fruits of his 15 years' work to hu
manity without a cent of compensa
tion, is what Dr. Weston A. Price, of
Cleveland, president or tue unio
State Dental Socioty says he expects
to do.
Dr. Price has perfected an appli
ance that he says will automatically
record respiration, heart beats and
temperature on a recording sheet at
a distance of half a mile if neces
sary. The apparatus can bo used on one
or 10 people at tho same time and a
physician can see on the chart tho
condition of the patients during tho
entire day. Tho device is planned to
do away with carelessness of any ono
attending an 111 person.
If a patient is suffering from fe
vor, and tho crises is to be reached
at a certain temperature, tho appara
tus is so adjusted that when the tem
perature reaches that point It will
not only record it, but will ring a
boll.
Dr. Price in his address at tho den
tal convention in Toledo, outlined
his new invention and told of the
growing importance of dentistry in
co-operation with medical science.
ERIE REPORTS CHANGES.
It was rep'orted In tho offices of the
Erie Railroad on Monday that Vice
President Stuart of the Erie would
