The Farmers Institute.

A meeting of the Farmers Institute,
under the direction of DR.. Richard S.
Hill was held in Masonic Hall here on
Friday of last week and the attendance
was very large at both the afternoon
and night sessions which were of es-
pecial interest to housewives.
Miss Mary A Burnite, of Newark,
N. j., gave practical exhibition of
labor saving devices for the kitchen
and the home, chiefly in the use of
denatured alcohol as fuel. The
stoves shown were similar to coal oil
ones, but they cook much faster, rad
iating heat at the top only. In cake
maker she mixed cake and baked it
in a glass front oven and passed it
around the audience to taste in barely
a half hour. For slow cooking she
demonstrated the advantages Of the
fireless cooker for boiling and baking.
The alcohol reading lamp and fiat iron,
and also Thermos bottle, were also
proved to be most convenient and
clearly.
At the night session DR.. Richard S.
Hill presided and introduced Mr.. E. L.
Oswald, practical, young poultry
man and fruit grower, of Washington
county, who gave an interesting lee
ture on the housing and raising of
poultry, and showed model of a
colony hen-house, which was practical
and sanitary.
Miss Burnite then operated hand
vacuum cleaner of one of the most ap-
proved patterns. The quantity of dirt
extracted from rug was a surprise
to all.
Those who attended the meetings
gained much inflammation, and the In
stitute being held here, DR.. Hill's
home town, his presence and jovial re.
marks added no little to the sociability
of the gathering.

LINE WIRE FARMERS
HAVE TELEPHONES

A great many people who live in the
country seem to think it would cost too
much to have a telephone on their farm.
They should be interested in knowing
that they and their neighbors can build
a complete telephone system at com
paratively low cost
These neighborhood telephone lines
are divided into two general systems-a
grounded, or a one-line. system, and
full metallic, or two-line system The
full metallic system is the better and
should always be adopted whenever the
number of farmers constructing the line
is sufficient to stand the extra expense.
The cost of one mile of line material, ex-
elusive of the poles and labor, for a
grounded system of IL miles or more Is
approximately ST. For. full metallic.
or two-wire system, OF the same length
the cost is approximately $14. A COM
plete standard Western Electric tele-
phone station outfit for either of these
systems costs approximately $1S more.
An estimate of the cost OF the complete
system, therefore, Is determined by null
tiplying the number of stations, or farm
ers to have Telephone, by the cost per
station, then multiplying the number of
miles of line construction by the cost per
mile, and add this to the total cost of
the station outfits. For a group OF
20 farmers. the furthest being at a
distance of u miles from a town
exchange. fun metallic system would
cost. therefore. approximately $780, or,
S2l per farmer. For system of this,
nature there is no rent, the only expense
being the maintenance, which when, dis
tributed among those receiving the SER
vice, is very low, For the information
of those farmers who are contemplating
neighborhood systems the Western Elec-
trio company has prepared a book en-
titled How to Build >Rural Telephone
Lines" This book contains complete in
formation. written in such way that
any farmer can understand exactly what
is necessary in order to construct and
maintain rural telephone line. The
book Is sent without charge upon request
to any one Of the company's is houses,
in the important cities Of the United
States.

T-NERY small town in the

in it a, dozen or more breeders
should. by all MEANS have q
poultry show the coming winter.
Even If it is only small one TO
start with, these small shows will
usually grow into large ones II
the breeders would only get their
birds together once per year and
exchange ideas and find out what
they really have, 1t would be an
education not only to themselves.
but would interest others and
would be the means of distribut-
ing many settings of thoroughbred
eggs; also many thoroughbred
fowls among the neighborhood.
Farmers and merchants who
could not be interested otherwise,
will become interested by visiting
these exhibitions and will see the
difference between thorough
bred and h scrub and will often
buy a start of a few good birds
instead of breeding the common
ones.
