pleasure that can derived from the use

of this money. Unless we take our pleasures day by day as they may come to us, instead of waiting until we have finished our work, we will find that when old age comes. upon us all the pleasure in life has evaporated. Live every day to it's utmost and enjoy it, and when old age comes, look back and say, "It is we'll"
 The old adage says: "A penny saved is penny earned" I say a penny we'll invested is worth two pennies saved. The greatest pleasure in life is to help others. You can have great CT power to help others if you have a good education. College education in- creases a man s success in the propor- tion of one to 5000. Where one to 15 succeed with an education and bring success at the age of 40 instead of 50 years. Give your children good edu- cation and when they are ready to go out into the world you can say, "Go, and God bless you.'' And when you are on your death bed you can feel that you have laid up Treasures in Heaven where moth and rust do not corrupt and where thieves do not break through and steal"
 l. c. B. Ransome of Bethel was call- ed upon to make a few remarks, and he brought up the milk question. MT Ransome began his remarks by asking this question:: "Why are the farmers crying hard times? There was no re- ply and the speaker tried to show why the farmers are crying hard times. There is meeting of the Milk Ex- change and the price of milk is drop ped. There is another meeting and there is another drop in price. I hope the prices will drop until the price gets So low that farmers will open their eyes. The farmers allow a set of men who are younger than themselves to set the prices. They do business with milk contrary to any other business. A farmer will never think of letting his cattle, sheep, hogs or horses leave the farm without first having the price set upon it. But the milk is sent away, and the farmer will take whatever price he can get for it. No business man outside of farmer will do busi- ness this WAH; not even bod carrier. 1t is the duty of the milk producer to set the price on milk. The farmers ought to get together and say: We must have on e-half of what the milk is sold for. If you get eight cents we want four. If you get six we want three cents, It is just as easy for these milk producers to get together and set their price and not wait for the Milk Exchange to set it for them. Farmers will not get together, but they must do so or starve. 1 wish there was a man who had power enough to get the voice of the farmer. If it@ cannot be obtained in any other way there must be house to house visitation. We must get the voice of the farmer before we get a better price for our milk.
 After MT Ransome finished his talk, the question box was opened again, and discussions took place about propaga- ting our forests, top dressing grass lands, and other subjects, all of which were interesting to the farmer
 At the close of the session Prof Phelps gave the notice that any of the farmers wishing to send an exhibit of grain, fruits or vegetables to the Pan American Exposition at Buffalo could notify him within the next two weeks and all express would be paid. Prof Phelps address is Eagleville, Conn.
