The Farmers' Institute in Somerset as
well as throughout the state Of Peansylva-
MIA has come to stay. l. is now regarded by
farmers every where, a. one Of the greatest
helps within their reach The gentlemen
who have been secured from abroad to as
sis. Us, are not theorists, but thoroughly
practical men. Those who were present last
year, will be delighted To see from the fore
gJine program, that We have again been
fortunate enough to secure the aid Of Mr..
Heiges, of York county, whose work WAS 50
highly appreciated al the las. session. Mr..
scissor, of Lacka Eanns county, whose name
also appears on the program, Is farmer of
large experience. and possesses the happy
tacalty OF being able to tell what he knows,
in such way as to be understood BY those
who hear him. Mr.. NcWiliisms ofJuniais
county, IS not an entire stranger to the
people of cur county, but Is fzyOra5iy known
by some OF Us, as one OF the stait farmers Of
the central portion of the state Tue subject
he will discuss Is timely and bis treatment
OF it will be such as We might expect from a
practical farmer The talks on Frauds in
Fertilizers by Secretary E EIge, viii in itself
be worth more than the time and money it
will cost any Somerset county farmer to at
tend the meeting. Remember. every body is
invited to attend There viii De no admis-
sion fees, but all sessions vii be free to the
public. In arranging a program We leave
plenty OF space for queries, for the reason
that it Is impossible for Us to tell what sub
jects farmers may want to hear discussed.
II yon have q question 10 ask drop il into
the query box, and ifit relates TO the sub
ject Of Agriculture it will be referred to
some one cOnPetent to answer it The
papers read Al the institute will be the prop
erty OF the State Board Of Agriculture and
should be handed to the resident member
of the Board as soon ss read. Ample ar
rangements have been mzde for music with
which to enliven the exercises. ApPlica
ton has been made for reduced rates on the
B. & 0. r R. which We hope may be
granted.
