Farmers institutes have been great
benefit. not only In bringing the best
farmers together to exchange their ideas
on ways of farming, harvesting, breed
ing and feeding, but we get the results
Of our State College Experiment Station.
also the results from the stations of
other states. We need more work in this
direction, and there is no better way
than for the members of the Board To
hold more meetings In the back towns
that they may receive the same benefit
that the more central towns get. Let
one good farmer come into town, and
soon the whole town will show the result
of his improved methods Of farming.
The same Is true Of our institute work.
The meetings held in oxford County last
winter were very instructive and did "a
great amount of good TO the farmers at
tending the meetings. and let the good
work go on. ii. ID. HAMMOND

In regard 10 the work OF the Board in
the mast. | can saw We have only had
three Institutes in this vicinity, and !
think they have been the means OF much
good. Farmers are putting more thought
snd more real hard study into their bush
ness than ever before, and this awaken
inc has come largely through the iniiu-
ence OF the Board. Better stock, warmer
harms. better care, better feed, and the
making and saving of barn mAnures'
both solid and liquid, are the result
These subjects are up for daily discus
sion. Old barns are being remodeled
ana new ones built, with view of ear
rying out the above ideas. am iirm

the Institutes will result in much good

There is no doubt in the minds Of all
intelligent farmers but that the holding
Of the Institutes throughout the state has
resulted In large amount Of good to
those that have availed themselves of
the privileges which they have afforded.
The work of the institute should be To
give plain and practical facts by leading
agriculturists, as the result of their eN-
perience In the raising of crops, the
management Of the dairy. and in all the
other lines Of farm work. one OF the
drawbacks 20 the success of the institute
has been the failure of farmers To at
tend when they have been held near by,
thus losing much valuable information
which would have greatly assisted them
in their laborS. GEORGE +. MiNoT.

AN INTERESTING DOCUMENT FOR
WACE-EARNERS

III the wage-earners have any DOUBT as
to the indifference of the leaders OF the
silver movement to their interests, they
should read Senate Document 3ll OF the
first session Of the Fifty-fourth Con-
gress. This document consists OF some
letters written by a Mr.. John 2. Young
to the San Francisco Chronicle, and
published in that paper on December IL,
1895, and February 2, 1896. They were
presented to the Senate by MIR. Teller,
the chief of the free-coinage party, and
we're printed in obedience to the order
of that free-silve body. Wage-earners
will find In them remarkable argument
addressed to the employers OF labor for
the purpose of warning them OF the
competition with the manufactures OF
this country threatened by the manu-
features of Japan, and suggesting way
to meet IL. In brief, Mr.. Teller COM
mends and endorses the argument that
as Japan has really decreased wages by
becoming silver country, the rivalry OF
her manufactures Is TO be feared, and
cannot be met unless our own manu-
facturers also reduce wages by adopting
the silver standard.
But we shall permit this extraordinary
document TO speak for itself. After
more than twenty years OF Intellectual
effort 10 maintain bimetallsm, Japan
went 10 a silver basis in 1873, and at the
present time two silver yens, "a yen being
the equivalent of our dollar are equal
In value to one gold yen. In the mean
time wages have not advanced, so that
their purchasing power has been re-
duced by about one-half. Senator Tel
ler's paper quotes the following telling
statement from Sir Edwin Arnold, who
i speaking OF the industrial skill and
capacity OF the japanese:
"And when one realizes tha, this ability and
capacity can he obtained there for an average Of
cents day. against al N day and upward IN
America, and shillings upward In England,
II Il not hard to see that there Is reason In what
I say"
There are some further rates OF wages
exhibited In the Teller paper. From II
we learn that carpenters. plasterers, and
some others receive 26 cents day; tail
ors and Overs receive - cents; male
servants, 10 cents; laborers, - cents {;
and women weavers, } - cents.
The paper contains other statements,
some of them taken from the reports of
our own consular officers. while Others are
from the letters of English and Ameri-
can newspaper correspondents. They
are all intended 10 show that Japan
threatens our manufacturers because by
reason OF the adoption or acceptance OF
the silver basis the labor cost OF their
products has been reduced one-half.
The argument is therefore that II this
country will follow the example OF Japan
aud become silver country, our manu-
facturers will be able To compete with
their Oriental rivals. Otherwise there IL
danger that the cheap product of Japan
will iniure our capitalists. The paper
was evidently not intended for the read
ing Of wage-earners .-Harpcr's Weekly.

house Sunday morning. In the evening
he preached in the Methodist church at

Subscription papers for the purpose of
purchasing ard fencing piece of land
in the Chestnut valley, about two miles
from town, for cemetery purposes. are in
circulation. This is a much desired
change, as the present cemetery is too
far away from town, especially in bad
weather. The proposed site is more
convenient for both the upper and lower
valley rs well as for Cascade.

has been living on the Largent ranch,

besides kicking him and hurting him
internally. In this precarious condition
he lay out on the prairie for two hours,
