Farmers Institutes.

The State Farmers Institute, Mr..
Amoss director, will be held at
Rising Sun February 10. This
annual institute is very interesting
to farmers on account of the infor-
nation they gain from the lectures
delivered by scientific men on var,
ious agricultural subjects. The
more the farmers become acquaint-
ed with the Institute the more ip-
terest they take in it:
This being true, as all agree, why
not organize local Institute to
meet once a month except perhaps
in July and August A lecturer
from the Agricultural College or
Experiment Station could besecured
for most, if not all of the meetings.
Such an association or Institute
would be broad gauge enough to
admit all, not only farmers, their
wives, sons and daughters, but
merchants, mechanics and profes-
sional men. The meetings could
be arranged for afternoon in the
summer and on moonlight nights in
fall and winter. Such an organiza,
tiOn would develop local talent and
draw out papers and discussions on
subjects which might he selected
by the committee elected for the
preparation of the programs.
We make these suggestions hop
ing the public spirit of the farming
community will take sufficient
interest in a much needed educa-
tional feature in country and farm
life to organize a local Institute.
Farmers give the young members
of their family but little opportu-
nifty OF encouragement to choose a
country life and make the farming
class influence felt in public affairs.
The result is that they leave the
farm to try life's battle in the cities.
If they would learn to write and
speak from the standpoint of the
farm, hold up their heads and
maintain their ground among the
lawyers, the doctors, the preachers
and professors they would exercise
an influence for good an public
affairs they do not now dream of.
The farmer is steadily dropping to
the rear and evoluting into a tenant
without habitation or home he can
call his own.

fever at Bay View and one each at
Fair Hill, Woodlawn and Elkton.
The unusual prevalence of typhoid

State Chemist.
Whooping cough is reported in
Warwick and North East.
One case of scarlatina ip Blkton;
one case of diphtheria at Fair Hill,

ored man died of this disease neal
Warwick and two other cases in
fected by him recovered.
The prevalence of a disease among
hogs in and near Port Deposit was
reported to the State Live Stock
Sanitary Board. The law requires
burial of infectious diseases within
a few hours. The law is not being
observed and unless it is the con,
tagiop will spread and imperil also
the health of the citizens of the
county.

There is more Catarrh iE this section OF
the country than all other diseases put

supposed to be incurabla. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local

local treatment, pronounced it incurable.

tutlonai disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
