boarding and lodging in their own
homes, and when domestic help cannot
be procured, crop the fields Oh the

by reason of the fact that nearly all Ia

might be more profitable to pursue the
old methods, but he asked how could

Time being given for discussion on
the topic, r. 5. Clark, made few re-
marks, endorsing the address of Mr.. Nc
kelvey, and gave illustration from per-
sonal experience; he WAS especially Sc
we're on the milking question, giving it
as his opinion that it was not wCman's
work, that she WAS not strong enough
for it, which obse. walton was heartily
applauded, especially by the women.
For the benefit of Hon. A. w. Camp.

! had to go away, his address was called
for next, and after being introduced to
| the audience addressed them on the
topic, "The Progress and the advantages
of the American Farmer" which sub

and impressed the minds of the hearers
that the speaker thoroughly understood
his subject and had given it a very care

w. |. Chamberlain, Secretary of the
Ohio State Board of Agriculture, after
passing high eulogy on the address of
Mr. Campbell, saying he would use is
influence to have it published in tie
next Agricultural Report of Ohio. spoke
on the subject, How to Make Money
Honestly" He spoke OF an address de-
| livered in Quaker City, in which tile
speaker referred 10 Il picture which

ALL lie said that tins picture was not
true in fact, for the farmer did not pay
far all, but that all honest and honora-
ble labol ers, whatever their avOcation,
were assistants. He spoke of All argu-
ment he had heard in which the stand
was taken hat the farmer was the only
producer; that he was the only one that
really produced anything, but that was
falIacy, as all honorable. workers were
producers; he illustrated this point by
referring to the glass manufacturer. the
painter and the sculptor; he spoke OF all
money making, bases of value, being the
result of mans hard work, and where
that was not, there was WAS no value !;
he spoke of the saloon men, of them
gathering in the money without giving
d value; in fact, giving worse than moth
ing to their patrons; and didn't like the
idea of so much good corn being made
into poor whisky. He referred to.the dry
goods firm of John SEillito & Co., of Gin
cinnati, paying more taxes than all the
saloons in the city combined; he srJEse
OF two firms in COlum bus, whose places
of business were in sight of his Office,
one of which was Il dry goods house and
the other liquor saloon, each making
an average of 500 per day, but that the
dry goods firm paid more taxes than the
entire saloon interest of the city-that
the saloons produced two-thirds of the
inmates of the Ohio Penitentiary, as
also the same proportion of the inmates
of the different State aSylumS, while tne-
other business interests were taxed to
pay tine immense cost of maintaining
these institutions that lie was in favor
of dissolving this Improbable partner
ship, and to let the dancer pay the fid-
dlerS. He spoke of the mountain worth
less than five cents per acre, but bridge
is required, and the work of the laborer
with the blasting powder and derrick is
brought into requisition, and the granite
stone'is placed III the piers of the bridges,
and is thus made to be worth 81 per
perch, ard then the railroad transports
the granite to the city, where it is made
into building worth thousands of dol
lars.
The address of Mr.. Gould was post
poned until the evening session, and the
Institute adj ,urned until 6:30 pm.
.., EVENING SESSION. .u.a
The evening session was opened by
music by the choir. followed by an ad-
dress by John Gould, Esq, who was in
trOduced ina few appropriate remarks
by .Sec'y Chamberlain. Mr.. Gould, who
is the dairy editor of the OHIO Farmer,
said, that the question assigned him was,
"Is Dairying Profitable in Eastern
Ohio?" He said he didn't know wheth-
Ell it was or not, and changed the topic
to Can Dairying be made Profitable in
Eastern Ohio?" and made his argument
on this subject, in the affirmative, which
was an address attentively listened toE
and full of good advice to those who
want to make good butter. His remarks
were addressed particularly to those
who were following in the old fashioned
footsteps, and not TO those who already
were up to the times in good butter
making. In speaking of the compare
tive profits per COW in selling milk or in
skimming and selling cream showed
S5S per cow was the average for milk, |
while cream netted SG4 per COW, and
leaving the skim milk to feed. On the |
Reserve, 2714c was the average price for
cream, while for milk lO1lc was the av-
erdge. AT expense of 500 in stone milk /
house, the farmer is ready to comm ence
the sale of cream. The quantity of
milk has given place to quality of cream.
He drew his facts and figures in the
milk, cream and cheese business from
knowledge, CLEANED from his
own dairy, and one of lis neighbor's.
He owns as good IA dairy and as fine
stock as any one il the Western Re-
