Evening Session.
After music by the St. Clairsville or
chestra, the Institute was called to order
promptly by the chairman, who intro
duced Hon. w. n. Cowden, of Guernsey
county, who opened the discussion on
the subject "Does the Use of Commercial
Fertilizers Pay Here?" taking his stand
in the negative, and in favor of barn.
yard manure and the refuse about the
outhouses and barn. He was followed
by l.. p. Bailey, Esq, of BarneSviile, who
spoke in the affirmative, and gave sta
tistics which he had compiled from diff
ferent letters received by him from
farmers in this and neighboring conn
ties, to defend his position. His letters
were all very largely in favor of com
mRrcial fertilizers, and showed great
increase in crops by their use in the
same field where it was used in. strips,
and portions of the field manured and
other parts left without anything. In
these cases the parts covered by the fer
tiliZer almost invariably doubled and
sometimes even trebled the crops. Prof.
Lazenby thought that farmers in the

in trying to raise wheat as their main
crop. and showed by Sec'y Chamber
lain'S report that the acreage sowed last
year only averaged 11.2 bushels to the
acre. But Mr.. Bailey replied, and show
ed by his figures how liberal use of
commercial fertilizers would make heavy
yields of wheat: He. however, advised
raising stock, and such crops as would
turn them into fat market cattle, as the
most profitable.
Prof. n. 5. Townshend next delivered
a lecture OH the topic, Education for

points, and gave much advice, that, ifl

RAISE YOUR OWN FISH

A writer who has tried il Gays !:
BY attaching a pump, propelled by
the wind to we'll, you can supply
basin from fifty to seventy.tive
feet in diameter and six 20 eight
feet deep, with water sufficient to
raise several thousand carp or other
fish. The cost Of this pond and ap>
purtenances need not exceed fifty
dollars. The bottom and sides need
to be cementsd thoroughly. When
the basin is complete place in it 8
small quantity of brush or floating
weeds. II you intend to raise carp,
do not place other fish of preda
tory character in the pond. The
spawning will occur during the
spring months, the female laying
from 30, 900 to 100000 eggs. The
eggs will adhere to whatever they
touch, and will soon hatch. The
green scum of partially stagnant
pond is fine food for the young hsh
Mud in the bottom OF the pond is
beneieial. The fish will feed read
ly on kitchen garden refuse, such AS
cabbage, leeks, lettuce, hominy or
other substances. Water seldom
becomes too warm for these Iish.
During freezing weather they bury
in the mud at the bottom
of the pond While in this eondi
ton they should not be disturbed.
In pond of the given Dimensions
several thousand iish have annually
been taken. If weeds aud grass
grow profusely about the borders OF
the pond, 80 much the better for the
fish. Ia two years time you can
have an abundant and constant supe
ply of sport and food, and the ad>
vantage Of pond to assist in beau'
tifying your home.

RIGHT KIND OF MEN

The advice to the law student that
".Lere's plenty of room above"
contains truth Of very wide appiicar
ton. "There's plenty Of room above"
in every profession and avocation.
The difficulty is, not to find the
higher positions, but to find men,
competent mon, to fill them. A
manager of a business establishment
remarked the other day that they
ought to have good man in GER
tain position. "Why don't you get
one % said his friend. "That's the
difficulty" he replied: aft knew

member this, and make themselves

will find no difficulty III securing

IN A CONVENT.

A painful sensation has been
caused in ViennG by story from
Cracow, according TO which Il nun
in convent there has been inhu-
manly treated. She belonged to q
good SiIesian family, aud gave all
her property to the convent eight
cen years ago. But for faithful
old servant who followed her into
the con invent ia order to be near her,
she would probably have died under
the treatment she received. Her
brother could only obtain an inter-
view with her by calling in the poa
lice. She had to be supported by
two nuns, and appeared 10 terribly
emaciated condition. Having re-
fused to accept u young contessor
introduced into the convent some
years ago, she was confined alone
in a cell, and the sisters were for
hidden to approach her. The story
runs that she had worn the same
gown for eighteen years, and had
had no change of underclothing or
shoes or stockings for seven years.
Her coll had not been cleaned for
twelvemonth, and she WAS never all
lowed to leave it. The straw of her
bod was rotten and full Of vermin.
The sisters with her contradicted
her statements, but she persisted ia
imploring her brother to free her from
her terrible position. The brother
could only provide her with food
and clothes. Until the affair has
been decided ia court OF Justice
the nun will have to remain where
she is.
