Csttie.-The number that will be
corn fed compared with the fall of
1894 has increased per cent. The
abundant pasturage throughout the
summer, with an almost unlimited
amount Of corn should place them on
the market well matured and in
condition to command good prices.
There was no doubt large shortage
Of feeding cattle in Missouri but this
deficiency has been shipped by the
purchase Of feeders shipped to the
market from other states.
Hogs.-Number that will be fed

Complaints has been received at
this office Of worthless hog cholera
remedies that are being placed on
the market and asking If something
cannot be done to prevent the farm
ers from being defrauded by these
bogus "Cure- Ais" We received a
letter few days since from a gen.
tleman in another state saying that
he had positive, sure, never failing
cholera remedy and asking this de-
partment to aid him in reaching
localities where the infection existed.
Had we been sure the medicine
was as good as represented we should
have sent a special agent with
parlor coach to bring the gentleman
to Missouri and turn him loose
amongst the swine herds of this
state but we had so little confidence
in his representations, that his letter
remains unanswered, and if he
swindles Missourians it will not be
through the aid of this department.
There may be some good hog
cholera remedies ON the market, but
when introduced in a neighborhood
as rule they should be purchased
with caution and recommended only
after their efficacy has been tested
and the claims Of the venders fully
substantiated.
The scientific world, aided by the
government, has been investigating
this disease and the remedy for it
for years. All their investigations
and conclusions, what they have
learned Of the disease and what they
have to say OF preventatives or
remedies, have been given to the
public and it might be seriously
doubted If any private individual has
made any deeper research or dis
covered remedy of more value.

FARMERS INSTITUTES.

Applications for this work have
been received from one hundred and
eight towns in the state. AS we can
only hold about forty meeting, the
remaining localities must be disap-
pointed.
Never was So. deep an interest
evinced in the work as this season,
and good meetings are expected.
Able and practical speakers will be
employed, and the farmers of each
locality are urged to turn out and
counsel together for the advance
ment of their interests. Bankers,
lawyers, editors and physicians and
all trades have their organizations
and unions and meet for consultation
and agree upon some plan for con-
certed action. Farmers can, GER
tainly with profit to themselves,
discuss the more advanced modes of
farming and live stock breeding and
the best way of handling their crops
that they may yield the most profit
able returns.
A meeting of farmers for compar-
ison Of ideas, a candid discussion of
agricultural problems, an investiga-
ton OF advanced and scientific
theories, cannot be other than bene-
ficial in its results, and an aid in
developing the agricultural interests
of the state.
Hon. T. B. Terry, Col. G. W..
Waters, Hon. N. F. Murray, John
Patterson and DR.. T. ]. Turner, state
veterinarian, will attend the entire
series OF meetings. The board of
curators are expected to furnish a
representative of the agricultural
college and experiment station. The
full force of institute workers will
be completed in few days, and will
be composed of practical men,
versed in the departments they
represent, and earnestly devoted to
the work of promoting the cause
and exalting the profession of agri-
culture.

BETTER ROADS.

The excitement in town at present is for better roads. Two meetings have been held. The first one was largely at tended and it was voted to accep pt or be- gin under the new law passed by our last Legislature the highway called the Wellesville route commencing at the rail- road crossing near M. Beach & Sons hardware store. The friends of the Park Lane route called second meeting to re- scind the vote of the first meeting which was held, Saturday afternoon, August 10 The meeting was called to order by First Selectman F. E. Starr. George H. Jack son was chosen and appointed chairman. The warning for the meeting read by the town clerk. A motion was at once made to adjourn the meeting and the friends of the Wellesville road outvoted the Park Lane crowd more than four to one. This last was one of the largest town meet ings ever held here and it was conclusive ly shown which way public opinion is in favor of. It is said another meeting is called by the Park Lane voters to en- deavor to defeat the whole project but in the opinion of your correspondent they will be badly beaten when another vote Is called. The tide is in favor of pro- gression and onward is the motto. Give us better roads. Now is your opportun- ity for doing It.
