make it equal to corn ground, for the
following grain and grass crops. Old
pasture land gave better results:

NOtlluS was T6CkOleu lot IOHClnS
or digging stones. The above figures
were the results of his experiments
on four acres of old sheep pasture,
except that he got 700 bushels instead
of 400 in the two crops, off an acre of
ground. He ploughed it deep as pos
sible, narrowed well, planted on top
Of the soil, with rows three feet apart,
hills eighteen inches, two pieces in a
hill and two eyes in q piece.
In allusion to his statement that po-
tatoes did not ihjure the soil if farm
ers used plenty of manure, the essay
ist further said, that the neighbor-
hood where he lived was noted for its
good potato crops, and to-day the
yield was not less than it was thirty
years ago. He thought it was the
same in other localities. There are
thousands of acres now growing up
to brush that can be reclaimed, and
two or three crops got off that will
more than pay the value of the land.
He concluded as follows: "The
trouble with our farming is, that it is
not our business. We are giving our
energies and all our mind to some
speculation or other outside of the
farm, and that is left to employ our
spare time and energy. What other
business would succeed, treated as we
treat our business as farmers?"

MEETING OF THE BOARD OF AGRI.
CULTURE MANUFACTURERS AND
MINING,
At Woodstock, Jan. I6 and IL,
THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

@NNN~~-A@ - AIAe%fNN-''
The meeting was called to order at
two o'clock by Prof. Collier, Secretary
of the Board. On account of the i'll
ness of Governor Converse, the adj
dress of welcome was made by DIR.
Henry Boynton, in his usual eloquent
style. At the conclusion of this adj
dress DR.. L. III. Haskins, Of the Yer
mont Fdrmer, addressed the meeting
on the "Science and Practice in Ma
nuring". Following this was a short
discussion, and Mr.. Montague, of
Woodstock, then read a paper on
Root Culture, after which the NEE ting
adjourned, until the evening session.
THURSDAY EVENING.
The first exercise of the evening
was an essay by Joseph G. McKen-
zie, Esq, of Woodstock, upon "Fruit
Culture" He thought fruit could not
he raised without care. He found it
made but little if any difference where
the trees were bought if they were on
ly cared for. He first attempted to
raise trees in the grass, but found it
did not pay he now plows and cul-
tivates the land iii his orchard with
the best results. He does not fear
long growth but forces his trees along
as fast as he can. He exhibited q
branch showing four feet growth for
this season, but said this was unusual,
but that he desired two feet of new
growth on limbs when he could obtain
it, In conclusion he exhibited some
very fine specimens of fruit fIom@his
orchard. The discussion which fol-
lowed was Of deep interest.
DR.. II. A. Cutting, State Geologist,
gave very interesting lecture upon
the microscope and its Revelations"
Dr.C. spoke Interestingly Of the mi
croscopic plants that affect, in the
form ofrust smut, &C., the various cul-
tivated plants and also the trtchjna
spiraliS, the minute fesh-worm that
occasionally infest the hog, and trans
ferred alive 10 the human subject,
propagates SO rapidly as to fill the
flesh Of the victim with these boring
worms, which frequently cause death
by a general inflammation Of the mus
clcs which they penetrate. The Dr's.
lecture, which was illustrated by q
large number of colored drawings OF
enlarged microscopic objects, was re-
ceived with hearty applause.

COOS AND ESSEX FARMERS CLUB.
Monday Evening, January 81.

The subject before the club being
''What Crops Will Pay Best?" Hon.
James w. Weeks read an essay, of
which the following is an abstract
The speaker began by saying that
we are treating farming as business,
and if it could not be made to pay as
such, and give fair returns for labor
expended, it ought to be abandoned.
He should endeavor to prove that GER
tain crops could be made to yield a
fair profit for the time and money ex-
pended.
The present relation between the
employer and employed being the
worst possible-the employer having
no interest in his help other than what
he could get out of him, and the help
performing the smallest amount of
service possible for his pay-the item
of expenditure should be closely
scrutinized. In making his statements
he should speak of crops growing in
our climate, with the results of his
own experience in their cultivation.
Where he had had no experience he
should speak from observation.
After enumerating the different
crops raised, the essayist went on to
give his estimates of the expense and
profit of an acre of corn, assuming
that the llnd on which it was grown
be down to grass.

FRIDAY MORNING.

The opening address was by Prof.
Collier, on "Green Manuring". 1t
was an address Of great interest and
practical worth to the farmer. This
was followed by paper on "The
Merits of Jersey Cattle, calculat ed
to remove the prejudice against Jer-
seys, and in mauypoints his arguments
were conclusive. A discussion fol-
lowed in which the experience of many
farmers was brought out, and the
credit of the Jerseys sustained. This
discussion consumed the time for the
morning exercises and they then adj
journed.

Death ola Stranger.

On Wednesday night, a woman, who
seemed to be in deep distress, stopped off
the train and went into the Teideman
House, and told Mr.. Teideman that she
wanted to go to the poor house. She was
evidently sick, and Teideman notified Mr..
O'Brien, and he took Dr. Coates and
they went to see her. She was a woman
about 81 years of age. Her name was
Mrs. Barry or Mrs. Berry. The doctor
examined her, and found her suffering
with the dropsy, and on Friday morning,
at one o'clock, she died. 1t IS supposed
that she is daughter of Mr.. Andrew Der
ger, who is a resident of Bremen, Indiana
Mr.. O'Brien did not have any reason to
suppose she would die, and her death was
a surprise to ALL She claimed to have
lived with her husband in Chicago at the
time of the fire, to have had trouble with
him, and separated from him since that
time, and to have buried two children.
She came here from the east.

GIVE Me a Lock of Your Hair

BY PROF. ]. ID. BUTLER.

BY PROF. j. ID. BUTLER.
LINCOLN, Nebraska.
When q French orator had finished an
eloquent harangue to Partisan crowd
one of them cried out, Il should like a
lock of that mans hair" The speaker
Was only too glad to grant the favor to an
adTir'n 6 auditor. But anothcr-and an
other-and then scores, yes, hundreds,
begged the same souvenir-which the po-
likeness of the fiattered Cicero would not
let him refuse. In less time than the
speech had consumed. the speaker was
bereft of his hair-like. a sheep beneath
the shears, or Samson on the knees of
Delilab.
Tie experience of the French dema-
gogue has been that of Nebraska. Six
years ago she stood before the world a
boundless contigu:.y of unimproved prai-
RE and offered farm to everybody who
would come and take it at a shilling an
acre. The land was so good that the first
man that saw it longed for it-as for an
ambrosial curl of the Partisan orator.
Others followed him-stood not on the
order of their coming-but came at once
and seized on lot after lot-with as much
avidity as an Indian brave grasps a seal p
lock. Seekers of such Nebraska souve.
Mrs have come from every State in the
Union, and from every country in Chris
tendon, except Greece and Portugal
Behold the result, Nebraska, for two
hundred miles west of Lincoln,it is capital,
is occupied all along the lire of the Bur
lington and Missouri River Railroad. No
more locks of hair remain to be given away
to settlers there. But the State is as large
as European kingdom and its free farms
further west-as well as at little distances
north and south of the railroad-are still
as numerous as the hairs on most heads.
Nebraska is as polite as the Frenchman
and will be as long as she has lock of
hair left.
Besides-4,525 actual settlers have al
ready secured each 6 farm-an aggregate
of 47S,9oS acres of railroad land, eithe. in
Iowa or Nebraska, on ten years credit at
6 per cent interest. Their purcha SEES lie
where each alternate square mile has al
ready been occupied by homesteaders
Thanks to those pioneers. The buyer of
railr Dad land finds the region where he
plants himself already half settled. The
newest country is never more than half
new. Railroad buyers are never put in
the coi1. They go west-but not cut
west.
Nothing OF the principal of purchases
made since 1872 is payable till the end OF
four years,-and twenty per cent is thrown
Oft for prompt improvement.

rhinca Have Changed.

About the year 1910, when we assisted
in the publication of the South Bend
Free Press, we made a bargain with a
gentleman who lived in German town.
.saip, Marshall county, to furnish him the
Free Press one year for 100 pounds of
pork money was scarce, but pork was
plenty. This was standing arrange
ment. Two dollars per year was the
price of the paper. One year pork was
worth only $50; but we fulfilled our
contract. Another year pork was $3.50 !;
we got the pork, and that made us even.
The gentleman was justice of the peace,
his name we cannot remember.

A SAD ACCIDENT. AGeorge Raymond,
aged about ten years, sen OF Edgar Hay
mond, Esq, of Warsaw. was drowned in
Center lake, near that place, on Saturday,
the 9th inst About fifty persons were
with ice, barely thick enough to sustain
their weight. George, with his brother
Harry, who is only about eight years old,
were some distance from the rest of the

was drowned. His brother tried to save
him, but was unable to do so. He was a
remarkably bright and well-behaved boy.
In this sad event we hope that parents
