Garret read a paper how to utilize manure, which had many good points, if put in practical uselie also read a paper, “why 1 am a farmer;" first the farmer is the master of the situation; he was the independent man; the outlook for the young farmer was very bright; he produced every thing that they subsisted on. Highways was discussed by J. N. Latta, The gteat difficulty was to agree upon a plan, and when we come o a question of material that would make good roads, it was thought that Adams county had no good gravel, and crushed stone was too costly. The question was discussed os to drainage of roads, and a plan as to taxation bv county or township, which was referred to a committee on resolutions. SECON’D DAYS’ SESSION. Corn Culture,-By J. N, Latta. Corn is the ci op that wi 1 come to the front and ‘he different modes of cultivftion and fertilization war discussed Th-tre were many points brought out by Messrs. Campbell, Krick.

Perfection In Traveling. At 6:30 p. m. daily one of the handsomest trains in the United States and known as the North-Western Limited leaves the passenger station of the NorthWestern in Chicago on its journey to St. Paul and Minneapolis the twin cities of the Noith-West. Vestibuled throughout, and equipped with buffet, smoking and library cars, private compartment sleeping care, drawing room sleepers and superb dining cars, it furnishes its occupants with every comfort and convenience which could be desired by the most fnstidous. While in its enti.-ety it undoubtedly takes rank with the finest trains in the world, there are two features of its equipment which deserves especial mention, for they are new departures in the western railway world: The buffet, smoking and library car is furnished in the most luxurious manner with comfortable arm chairs, writing desks, book caves and a well stocked buffet, from which light refreshments are served. The private compartment sleeping car is designed especially for the accommodation of family parties and ladies traveling without escourt. It is composed of ten separate compartments, each complete in itself, and containing washstand, hot and cold running water and all necessary' toilet arrangements. Aside from these two features, it is in keeping with the rest of the service to say that the supper served in the dining car after the train lerves Chicago is a meal calculated to please the epicure. In a word if you desire to travel tn the most com tollable manner and make the trip to St. Paul, Minneapolis, or any .point in the in the quickest time, be sure that your ticket jreads via NorthWestern Line. Maps, time tables abd full information be obtained upon application to apy tfoket agept or by addressing W- A- Thrall, Genres*' Ticket Agent, Chicago & North- Western R’y, Chicago.
