improvements and thereby induce manufact-

can be estimated one thousand dollar job

Bowles read selection entitled: "A Ser
mon without Text;" Mrs. Ezra Mason,
''Station Life In Australia" Mr.. Randall,
a funny article from The Detroit Free Press
and Miss Mason gave recitation.
The subject, "How to keep the old folks
on the farm" resolved itself into "How is
the farm to keep the old fOlksw In this
form it was discussed at length but without
arriving at any definite method. With the
low prices Of farm produce after buying the
farm machinery and tools, and keeping them
in repairs, paying the taxes and the farm
laborers, at the end Of the year ''the hired
man" would have more money II he saved
It than the man who owned the farm. But
with all the disadvantages Of farm life, the
gentlemen believed 1t better for them to re-
main on their farms; their farms would
keep them better than II they rented them
and moved to town.
To the question, when to sbw clover
seed and how much to the acre." Mr..
Bowles sows after the frosts are over and
four quarts to the acre. Mr.. Baldwin any
time after the FIRST Of March and six quarts
to the acre.
.'Should all property be equally taxed?'
r. M. Shepard believes that corporations.
railroads and church property should be
transferred to the list of taxable property,
Mr.. Randall is not quite certain about the
taxation Of church property. Churches in
crease the value of our farms and are Q
