Burton Farmers Club.

Today we met with new friends, Mr.. and
Mrs. George Stanlake. 1t was our first visit
with them and we named the place Pleasant
Side." The topics of conversation seemed
to be the dry weather, while the question
"Have you got any hay?" was heard on all
sides.
Pres. Shepard called the meeting to order
and the opening song was sung by Mr.. and
Mrs. Stanlake and Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Sny-
der. Mr.. Randall conducted the devotional
exercises. The roll call showed five families
absent After dinner the choir sang "Peace
be STILL" Mr.. Guilford was asked if an
incandescent electric lamp is perfect va
cuum. He replied that there was no such
thing as perfect vacuum but the nearer to
it lamp could be made, the better it
became. Mrs. Mason answered the ques-
tion, "Is it true that speech is silver and
silence golden" by saying that sometimes
speech is golden and quoted our Savior's
words that If the people should hold their
peace the very stones would cry out. Some
one asked if the dandelion is detrimental to
the farm and Mr.. Merrill replied that 1t was
not except that his wife would cook them
for green's. Mr.. Shepard wanted to know
how late it would do to sow Hungarian
grass or milet seed and corn for fodder.
Some replied that it was not yet too late but
that it should not be put off later and that it
would grow in sixty days. Mrs. Woodin
told us of some of the benefits of the farm
ers' club.
The ladies discussed the subject of favor
ite warm weather dishes. Mrs. Rose and
Mrs. Mason liked ice cream and straw
berries. Miss Guilford liked coffee and
toast for breakfast end ice tea with lemons
and sugar for supper and gave a good recipe
for salad. Mrs. Merell likes warm tea for
supper so builds fire three times day.
Mrs. Woodin told how to make a pie plant
short cake which is almost as good as one
made of strawberries.
G. Woodin led the discussion of the use
of silos for the average farmer, claiming
that corn fodder is the best and cheapest
feed that can be raised for stock and that
stow it in. 1t is cheapest because so much
can be put in so small place and because
it saves time and work in doing chores and
is best because its results are best Mr..
Shepard and others carried the idea that
silage is rotten and spoiled fodder and
claimed that dry fodder, cut corn stalks and
straw are better and cheaper. The next
meeting is to be picnic at Round Lake,
July 25th. All are invited. G. r. w.

Annual School Meeting.

The call for the annual school meeting
should secure the attendance of all interest
ed in the welfare of our public schools.
Nothing should be done or left undOne to
hazard or impair their present standard Of
excellence. Experience Las proved that
changes in the management or officers Of
schools especially where the boards of edu-
cation, superintendent and teachers are
working together in harmeny, are of ques-
tionable policy.
From an educational and business stand
point the school board as now made up,
cannot be improved and it is hoped that the
patrons of the school will recognize
their fitness for the places they occupy and

The cannon of Crimean Days were
mounted on wooden carriages of the

controlled but merely limited by a
stout breeching-rope. Elevation and
training were given by moving the
gun and carriage by common wooden
handspikes, and the gun was run out,
after being loaded, by side tackles.
Every operation was performed by the

gun captain, or number one, aims and
fires and, unassisted. elevates and
trains the gun with the greatest ease

hhe gun runs out automatically after

quires any expenditure of force Is the
actual loading of the gun, and that is
