The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe: nothing could
be safer A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want II done at once: no more lamps for me.
Last nigl lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
nv children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you wall.
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

nounced, but owing to misunder-
standing in regard to the location the
attendance was not as large as de-
sired, and number of the special
features of the programme were
omitted. The discussions on the va
rious subjects were lively and brought
out many facts of interest. The dis
cussion of the subject Leaks on
Farm" was very heated, and drifted
into politics and the program com
mittee troubles. 1t made one think
that some farms leak great amount
of gas
The institute was called to order
by the president, q. S. Blosser, and
Howard Brown, of Holly, was chosen
secretary.
A J. Hotel delivered an address
OF welcome, aud gave very interest
ing talk. Among other things he
said he had sent S424, 900 to Kansas
for wheat which, il he could have got
the wheat here, would have been paid
TO Prowers county farmers, and had
that money in our county.
In speaking of farming as profit
able business j. X. Stevenson said:
Raise little OF everything. He sells
hogs, keeps cows and sells milk and
raises calves, sells chickens, turkeys,
melons and garden truck Grow ev-
erything possible and feed all that
you can.
W. H. Taylor said; Garry all
the stock you possibly can; feed all
the hay and other products of the
farm and thus save freight and com
mission both ways.
The subject of raising hogs was
| discussed by W. II TAYLOR, Nj. ID.
Parmenter, Howard Brown and sew
eral others.
A. j. Bottel advised farmers to
feed lambs He said the Fort Collins
farmers make from 81 to Sl.l0 per
head by buying lambs in the north
west, feeding them and shipping east.
They pay 25c per cwt freight on
corn. The Santa Fe will make the
farmers here rate of lie. They
will also ship the lambs here and to
the east, charging local rates both
ways, but giving rebate Of all over
through rate except $40 per car fol
transfer.
The question of good roads and
fences was discussed by f. q. Gordon
and ]. X. Stevenson.
The subject of shade and forest
trees was discussed by NJ. ID. Par
menter, J. o. Stream and others, and
the Carolina poplar and white ash
were specially recommended as suit
able for this section.
W. o. Butler said he had planted
potatoes every year since he cams
here, and never succeeded in raising
any larger than bullets. Anothei
said he does not buy potatoes bu
raises what he wants. He plows th'
ground deep, plants them about fou
inches deep, waters them when the,
begin to bloom and every ten day
after until they are ripe.
Messrs. Stevenson, Butler an'
Brown were appointed to prepare
program and fix the time and plac
for the next meeting.
