South Venice Farmers Club.

The South Venice farmers club
met at the pleasant home of Mr. and
Mrs. Floyd Owen, March Is. The
meeting was called to order by the
president. After singing from the
Rural Songster, and devotional exer-
cises led by Rev. Mr.. Wiedenhoeft,
Of Vernon, our new president, Mr..
Bingham, gave a short address. Next
came the appointment of the commit
tees on music, literature and enter
tainment followed by a duet by the
Misses Yerrick, they kindly respond
ing to an encore.
Dinner was then announced by the
hostess and we adjourned for an hour
enjoying the time in a social way
while partaking of the bountiful re-
past provided.
After dinner we were again called
to order by the president, all joining
in singing the fine old hymn, Ameri-
ca, then came the roll call followed by
reading the minutes of the last meet
ing. Alva Stewart gave q fine reci-
tation which was much applauded af-
ter which we listened to fine paper on
"Home" by Mrs. A. II. Owens.
The association topic was taken up
by Mr.. VIM. Brooks, discussed by Mr..
Curtis, Mr.. owens and others.
Suggestions brought out on prepar-
ing for spring work on the farm were,
the cleaning out of stables and yards
the trimming OF orchards and burning
the brush, repairing of fences and
buildings, that every farmer should
have a shop or tool house in which to
repair and put in working condition
his tools and harnes for the coming
of summer work and preparing of
wood for fuel.
Mr. Bird took charge of the ques-
ton box. One question was, els the
manure spreader a necessity on the
farm?" Mr.. Baily thought that there
was too much money invested for the
amount of labor saved. Mr.. Bingham:
They were q greater necessity than q
binder and used far more. II. L.
Stewart: The spreader was a great
help in getting work done early in
spring. G. A. Owens: A fine thing
S well rotted manure but not in sheep
manure with no bedding. B. w.
Calkins: They covered a greater ter
ritory with less manure, making it
more even, than the old way of a
man With horse and wagon.
The miscellaneous business being
disposed of Mrs. Rogers brought the
names of Mr.. and Mrs. Il. T.. Augs-
bury for membership. They being
accepted we listened to tho report of
or the program committees. Edith
Owens gave some instrumental music
and we then adjourned to meet with
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Bailey in April.

is his purpose to dust the same He has not

for the Deputy Clerk who is more familiar
with the details, she having done most of the

difference OF opinion between US about the
amounts here shown,
number of thu walks listed in this report to
assess are shown on the Record Books and no
reasona are noted there for not assessing the
same. Other walks are on the Record Books
but no extensions of am cunts have been mad,
which ordinarily would or should indicate that
the walks were not constructed, when in fact
the walks were built, as shown by Street Com

UTILIZING WASTE GASES.
Economy Praetieed in Germany Is
Yet to Be Learned in This Country.

In Germany revolution is in prog
ress in the direction of the replacing
of steam driven machinery by gas en-
gines. which consume the gases escap-
ing from blast furnaces and coke
ovens. such utilization of power hav-
ing already been applied to about one
half OF the coke producing capacity
Of Germany.
The economy which is being so gen.
orally practiced in Germany is almost
unknown in this country. as it is IL
Great Britain, but the British having
begun economy in Wales, it is to be
presumed that the coal and coke
plants of the United States will not
lag behind in this progressive move
ment. The utilization Of the enormous
horsepower now going TO waste in this
country. says the New Orleans Times.
Democrat, would add much to the ma
tional wealth and cheaper one of the
most generally used products OF the
country. Mr.. Rossi, an American
engineer, has estimated that the pow
