honor to preside at the dedication OF so

DANIEL II. HASTINGS.
Ex-State Supt. Of Public Instruction,
DR.. ID. J. Waller principal of the Indi-
ana State Normal, was the first speaker
of the afternoon introduced by Chair
man FOust. DR.. Waller said that the
prime object of this meeting was of con.
graduation. The erection of such a
building for such Il purpose marked an
era in the history Of the town: it was a
victory for the progressive element of
the town and the architecture of the
country.
Prof. A. J. Davis, principal of the
Clarion State Normal, was the next
speaker. He traced the present school
system from the day when reading,
writing and arithmetic were the all inn
portant studies, and the log school
house the rule.
Ex-senator w. j. Mcknight, OF
Brookville, traced the history of Reyn-
oldsville from an Indian village 30 years
ago to the present day. He said in the
past things were unequal, the rich
could buy text books while the poor
could not. That was now changed and
text books were free and all Jared alike
Judge John w. Reed, of Brookville
made the closing speech. In speaking
of the educational system of Pennsylva'
mia, he said the system was the best and
wisest ever devised that it is the.shce,
anchor of our government and it enables
us to defy anarchy and socialism
There is harmony between the flag, the
emblem of liberty, and education, which
is mans greatest achievement The
greatest duty is to provide for the eleva
tion OF man and the banishment OF SUI
perstition, ignorance and intolerance
He urged the employment of only tn,
best instructors.
After the program OF the day wa,
disposed of the new school building wa,
opened for inspection, and towns peopl,
and visitors inspected the structure
from basement to assembly room. AL
the rooms were decorated with flag,
and flowers.

Salt and Ashes for Hogs

Where hogs are not allowed the
range of pastures and where they are
prevented by the useless and cruel
practice of ringing from roofing at their
WI sweet will, they are very likely to
be deficient i'll both quality and
strength IF bone. and then we have the
stereotypcd complaint that the breed
is too fine in the bone. How can it be
ANYTHING else unless bOnemaking mate
rial is furnished? Where the ration is
Of corn, or largely of corn, the evil IS
more pronounced, and therefore the
more important il is TO provide bone
making material in some ready way.
One of the readiest is that of keeping
wood ashes and salt within reach Of
the hog ut all times. 1t is astonishing
how much they will eat of it, and aston
ishing also how far it will 90 to correct
the evils of an unbalanced ration, for
the ration is always unbalanced if it
does not provide bOnemaking material.
An acute observer has remarked that
hogs whose feed is deficient i'll bone
making material are irritable, nervous,
have a disposition TO nag one another,
and act just like peeviSh, irritable peo-
pie. whose nerves are unStrung and
that have dyspepsia, or. as we say, are
historical. We do not know whether
there is anything in it or not, but we
are quite sure that a balanced ration,
not merely in flesh formers and fat
formers. but bOnemaking material, Will
tend to that quiet disposition, that
peace of mind. that cOntentment with
all things around them, that leads TO
laying on of flesh, and that happy dis
position that charactcriZcS the good
citizen, whether in the city. in the
country, or in the hog yard. While all
things go we'll with the hog inside he
is not much disposed to NEEDLE with
things outside, and whether things go
well or i'll with him depends more on
the kind Of food he receives than on
ANYTHING else. 1t is when people are
not feeling we'll that We have up
heavalS in politics. panics in business,
and general discomfort and an increase
Of bad citizenship. 1t is about the
same way III the hog yard. The hogs
world is not y wide one, mainly con
nocted with eating and drinking ard
an occasional roofing. and therefore If
he is given Il ration well balanced on
it's mineral. it's flesh forming and fat
forming side. he becomes a happy,
prosperous citizen of the farm and j
