Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, on the contrary, while it gives immediate relief, assists rather than impairs the assimilative process. Weary William—“l’m dead broke and haven’t bad a mouthful to eat for two days. Can you give a fellow a lift?” Grumpey—“You bet I can. Nothing would please me better,” and he gave Weary William a lift with the toe of a No. 11 boot. “What’s in a name?” Well, that depends. For instance, the name of “Ayer” is sufficient guarantee that Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is a genuine, scienttic blood-purifler, aud not a sham, like so much that goes by the name of “sarsaparilla.” Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the standard. _ One Way To Be Happy.

Pronouced Hopeless, Yet Cured* From a letter written by Mrs. Ada E. Hurd, of Groton, 8. D., we quote: “Was taken with a bad cold, which settled on my lungs, cough set in and finally terminated iu consumption. Four doctors gave me up, saying I could live but a short time. I gave myself up to my savior, determined that if I could not stay with my friends on earth, I would meet my absent ones above. My husband was advised to get Dr. King’s Ne w Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds. I gave it a trial, took in all eight bottles; it has cured me and thank God I am now a well and hearty woman.” Trial bottles free at A. R. Pierce’s drug store, regular size, 50c and SI.OO.

Farmer’s Instil utc. The Adams County Fanner’s Institute convened at Geneva, March 11, 1803. The meeting was called to order' by Chairman G. 11. Martz at 11 o'clock a. m After transacting some preliminary work, Wm. Kelley was chosen secretary pro tern. The welcome address was delivered by S. W. Hale, and was quite an elaborate display of oratory. Some of the points made were that although be knew that Geneva’s citizens welcomed the farmers, yet they had not shown itby their attendance,but expected a better attendance later in the day. He further said that there never was a better law enacted than that of the organization of the farmers Institute and they are rapidly growing and proving to be of vast Importance. Institute adjourned until 1 p. m. Afternoon session was opened by "Rotation of Crops” by J. O. Kraner. The points made by Mr. Kraner were that to be a successful farmer, the crops need to be changed; that a; field should not be worn out by one continued reseeding of the same grain, sow a field to wheat or corn then sow to wheat or or timothy. Wheat Culture by 8. W. Hale. He gave the origin of wheat, the kinds and great varieties we have to-day, condition of ground before sowing and best method of fertilizing wheat. Potato Culture by W. M. Clymer. Mr. Clymer said the best time for planting was at or before thef ull moon ,not too late or too early, cultivate deep, make ground as mellow as possible, clover sod is the best, timothy sod is no good. Woman’s place in our rural homes by Miss Inda Hodson and Miss Maggie Beattey. Miss Hodson said the true wife and mother in our rural homes holds a higher place than does the President of the Nation. She rocks the cradle of stales; she. is the ever-willing helper of son or daughter and husband. Economy shonld be studied by the woman; she gave the difference between the home of to-day and that of our forefathers, the housewife should study the laws of health Miss Beattey said: The woman is a known feminine gender, the opposite of masculine, or man. The kitchen and parlor demands different actions; woman should be a woman in the kitchen and lady in the parlor: daughters should be taught to work: We are taught by Divine law to earn our bread by the sweat of our brow, all women cannot be school teachers or fill high places, but the home calling is as honorable if not much more so Small Fruit by J. 11. Beattey. He said, four acres of small fruit is worth more than 30 acres of other cereals, the market cannot be supplied with fruit. Blackberries, gooseberries and currants are very productive and take very little care. Trim in the spring of the year. Chicken industry can be a successful poultry producer. Filthiness should not be tolorated, apply plenty of coal oil for lice, burn sulpher in chicken house to kill them; cholera has no prescribed cure except the chopping block and -ax. A paper by Joshua Bright was read on Bee Culture. He said: It is one of the greatest industries our country affords; Italian bees are the best and are easily handled; they are very productive. The Hubbard hive is the best.

Hog. Raising by J. L. Aspy. Take

good care of the mother; do not feed much corn while the pigs are young; do not feed young hogs much corn, plenty of light slop and increase gradually ; ground oats, rye and corn are best for young pigs; it pays to take good care of the small pigs and they will thrive and grow strong. This completed the program. Mlscelleanous work was then taken up. Geneva is in favor of having the annual institute at that place bv a large majority of the vote present. The conn ty fair was talked of, it was agreed to go to work and organize a fair at some point and as Geneva seemed to be the favorite town, so come to Geneva to the fair. G. 11. Martz, Pres. Wm. Kelley, Sec’y. The Plutocrats and the Homeless. A census bulletin of farm and home ownership in Massachusetts has just been issued and it shows that in spite of the enormous wealth congested in that state the common people are almost if not quite as badly off there as in some of the states from which the Massachusetts Plutocracy draws its income. “Among the 479,490 families of the state,” says the bulletin, “there are 304,737 or 63.51 per cent which hire their farms and homes and 175,954 or 36.49 per cent which own them. Os the families which own, 06,249 or 87.85 per cent have farm or home incumbrance, and 108,804 or 62.15 per cent are free of incumbrance. In 100 families, on the average, 63.51 hire their farms and homes, 13.81 own with incumbrance and 22.60 own without inciimbrance.” “Farm and home” as here used means a habitation of any kind, whether in city or country. It is a most surprising fact that in Massachusetts, the richest state in the Union, where there are probably more millionaires in proportion to population than there are anywhere else on the continent, over 65 families in every hundred are landless and houseless tenants, who have no homes of their own and keep a roof over their heads only at the pleasure of a landlord. In Boston less than 19 families in every hundred own homes. The rest are tenants. Undoubtedly this is largely due to the abuse of the National taxing power and to the methods by which the National currency has ‘ been controlled for class benefit, but it is

also due to someTextent tojlocal taxation, as the Increased ratio of homelessness in the cities shows. Whether the tux is National or local; whether it is a tariff tax or a municipal for improvements, its inevitable effect is to centralize the control of property. i'uder high taxation the wealth in land and houses as well as in money is soon'collected into the hands of the few. The time has come when the majority of the people fir the cities of, the United States are homeless and landless, and under the present system it must soon come when, taking the country through, 90 per cent of its wealth in real estate as well as in personal property will be owned by les* than lb per cent of of its population.’.We already see in our leading cities a three-fourths majority of.the people who are too poor to own their own homes, and seeing it we see the Plutocratic minority as fierce as ever in demanding what it conceives to be its rights—the right to control the money and the wealth of the country and to take toll from every grist that is ground. It is a complicated problem we are creating for posterity in America but it will work itself out in time. When it does the country Swill find a way to discourage Plutocracy.
