Whoever fails to hear Mr.. T. b. Terry, one
the best posted farmers in the great agricul-
tural State of Ohio, will miss an opPortu-
nifty that progressive farmer can not well
afford to lose. In Mr.. Calvin Cooper we
have a representative farmer from the hest
agricultural county of our own State, and
one who is able to entertain as well as in
struct.
The Farmers Institute held last winter,
although the first ever held in this county,
was pronounced by all in attendance to be
grand success, and no one who had the good
fortune 10 be present will be willing to miss
the meeting this year. All sessions are open
and free to everybody, the expenses being
paid out Of an appropriation made by the
State for that purpose to the State Board Of
Agriculture Come and get your full share
of the benefit to be derived from the money
expended by the Commonwealth especially
for the farmers benefit, and do not forget TO
I bring your wife With you. Do not conclude
that this is either a Grange or Farmers
Alliance meeting, for, although there will
be plenty of Changers and members of the
Farmers Alliance present, this meeting be
longs TO all farmers, as well as all othei
persons who feel any interest in the farmers
welfare. The query-box will be opened al
each session.
