UST

Farmers Institute Was a Success—Good

The invocation was by Rev. C. E. Line and the first speaker was Mr. McMahan, of Purdue University, who talked on feeding and marketing hogs for profit and gave the farmers present some good sound advice and probably some new ideas. His idea is to push the growth of the hog from the time they are born until they are ready for the market. Never let the pig stop growing until it is marketed. Feed it on a mixed diet from the first and when it is about six months old, it is ready for the market. When pushed to this age the most profit is derived from them.

The farmer has but little money in the way of corn and other feed and theyare right in their prime for the top,market, so the gain is more than if the hogs were kept longer and more money invested in feed. The best results cannot be obtained by feeding corn alone or any other one kind of feed, but a mixed feed containing the proper ingredients was advised.

The prevention of diseases among hogs was also discussed. Sanitary feeding pens, watering troughs and sleeping sheds were recommended. Have everything clean and sanitary, even if it is for the hogs. It pays. If cholera strikes your place or your neighbors' place, see to it that all carcasses are burned and every measure used to prevent the spread of the disease. Then to prevent cholera the hogs can be vaccinated and this method has proven a success where it has been tried.

A lively discussion followed, as growing and feeding hogs for profit is a subject that lies close to the hearts of the Hancock county farmers.

The afternoon session was opened with music by Miss Marie Francis and Mr. Preston Wilson on the piano and drums. Mr. McMahan, who was substituted for Mr. Benjamin, who was to have spoken here, talked first 011 the subject of increasing the soil fer-j tility.

The address was a well prepared one and contained many points that will benefit the large number of farm owners who heard him. The court room was crowded at the afternoon session, people being present from every part of the county. Tonight Prof. Bunnell assistant supcrkvteadent of Public Instructions will lecture 011 '"Country Schools and Rural Life."

The discussion, following the address oc Mr. McMahan, 011 increasing soil

fertility

The second address of the afternoon was also given by Mr. McMahan on testing and selecting seed corn. This is just as important as any other one thing in connection with a successful crop and was admitted by every one. An interesting discussion followed the address.

The Nominating Committee reported the following new officers for next year, and they were declared elected. President Thad Snow Secretary Yard H. Finncll Treasurer J. K. Hen by

DISTRICT P.UKSIDENTS.

Eastern District Geo. W. "Walker Middle District I). L. Wickard Western District J. M. Sanford These last three officers take the place of the nine township presidents of last year as it was thought to be a better plan to have only three men for this work.

Although there was only a small attendance at the Thursday night session, Prof. Bunnell, from the oil ice of the State Superintendent of Public Instructions, made a splendid address on the subject of "Country Schools and Rural Life." Mr. Bunnell's idea is to educate the boy a and girls, not so much for the professions and trades that will take them away from the farms, but to educate them for the farms as it takes as much intelligence and education to be a successful farmer or farmer's wife in this day and age of the world as it does to succeed in any of the professions.

FEIDAY'S SESSION.

The Women's Auxiliary had charged the Friday sessions of the Institute with Mrs. Ella Brinly as chairman. The sessions were said by many to be

wxifi-y/r^nw-w

Points For Farmers—The New Of

ficers—Ladies In Charge of Last

Day. The court room was almost filled at the Thursday morning session of the Farmers' Institute and a majority of those in attendance were farmers and farmers' wives and daughters. The weather was very much more pleasant than oil Wednesday and the interest in the meeting was fine.

Thursday afternoon was

very interesting. William Furry a well known and prosperous farmer disapproved of commercial fertilizer on any kind of land. He says

kills

the soil. His idea, and lie practices it, is to u-J.Uizo, all bar and barnyard manure, leaves ct e. Nothing' of this i:a uro is ever burned 011 his farm. OUicrs did not agree with him altogether, but all agreed that this kind of fertilizer was lie very best to be had.

the most interesting of the Institute, but those making this claim were mostly the ladies of the audiance. While the crowd was gathering Miss Francis and Mr. Wilson dispensed delightful music.

The Rev. Joseph B. Williamson delivered tl invocation and the retiring pr»...-Richard Hagans introduced III t'3. Ella Br inly, chairman of the Woman's Auxiliary who made a few remarks and introduced the speaker Mrs. Leonard, of Indianapolis. Mrs, Leonard gave a most interesting talk on preparations for home making. She advocated, educating the boys and girls along this line, teaching the boys to be not only good workers and good managers, but clean in their habits and the girls to be clean, neat and economical, industrious and pleasant. Home influences will have considerable to do with this. The discussion which followed was joined in by Mrs. Eli Hagans, Mrs. Richard Hagans and Mrs. O. P. Eastes.

The Nominating Committee, composed of Mrs. Porter Wiggins, Mrs. Horace Binford, Mrs. Eli Hag Mrs. Ed Mclntyre and Mrs. John Jessup was announced just before noon.J

The committee made the following nominations: Chairmen, Mrs. O. P. Eastes Secretary, Mrs. Homer Binford Treasurer, Laura C. Jessup Township Chairman, Green, Fannie Sherry Brown, Mrs. Amy Thomas Vernon, Mrs. Calvin Trittipo BuckCreek, Miss Beryl Eastes Blue River, Mrs. Thad Snow Sugar Creek, Mrs. O. N. Boyd Brandywine, Mrs. Thomas Hope Center, Mrs. A. N. Rhue, Mrs. Horace Binford and Mrs. Porter Wigging.

The auxilliary was fully organized by the election and the subscribing of members and paying of the small membership fee of 25c.

The address in the afternoon was by Mrs. Jesse W. Beeson on the subject of the care and rearing of children and she had her subject well in hand and made a very impressive talk for it was sensible. An enthusiastic discussion followed in which a number of ladies took part, presenting their views and experiences in clear and convincing terms.

The court room was crowded to its fullest capacity at the closing session and many could not gain an entrance.

No Schedule For Sixty Days on New

Interurban Line Through Hancock

County.

According to a statement by Judge Buskirk, of Indianapolis, issued in reply to an inquiry by the New Castle times, 110 regular schedule will be established until the work on the line is all completed and that will be probably sixty days. Judge Buskirk said there was an immense amount of ballasting and surfacing to be done on the road and that they proposed to utilize their own power in addition to the regular gravel trains. It is his opinion that the business would not pay for the expense and annoyance it would entail until the work trains are out of the way. He says it will take sixty days of working weather yet to complete the road.

Fire Department Called.

The fire department was called to the T. II., 1. & E. car barns at midnight Monday night by a small blaze, which was quickly controlled with but little damage,

Farmers' Institute Express Sentiment

WHEREAS, Agriculture was the first occupation in which the human race ever engaged, and

WHEREAS, From the time of the earliest fore-parents to the present, the science of agriculture has been gradually ascending the scale of progress, improvement and influence, and

WHEREAS, The farmers of Hancock county, Indiana, have always kept themselves in the front rank of this onward march towards higher ideals and better living, Whereas, be it

RESOLVED, By the farmers of Hancock county, in Institute assembled: 1st. That we are proud of our calling and propose to do all in our power to place it upon a still higher plane of usefulness and influence in the years that shall pass away. 2nd. We point with pride to the rapid improvement of the farmer and his family, intellectually, socially and morally in the past few years, much of which is due to the just and fair remuneration he has received for his daily toil. 3rd. That being citizens and taxpayers, we have of right a vital ininterest in all matters of government that effect either the material or moral welfare of the whole population of the county. 4th. That as husbands and fathers who love our families and our homes as we love our lives, we are steadfastly and forever opposed to any custom, law, institute or business, whose tendency and effect is to debase and degrade the children of men, and as the abolition of the saloons in Hancock county lias removed from our midst one of the greatest evil influences that lead men astray, we are unalterably opposed to the repeal of the county local option law and demand its rigid and impartial enforcement. 5th. WHEREAS, There isj an increasing tendency for the creation of new offices and commissions and of office seekers, after elected, to want salaries increased.

RESOLVED, That we do not favor the increase of offices and commissions and are opposed to the increase of salaries until good men refuse to fill and accept offices at the present salaries. 6th. As our further influence as agriculturists depends upon the kind of farm we have and the kind of men and women who farm them, be it

RESOLVED. That as farmers we use our best efforts in the care, convenience and beautifying of our country homes, and the care of our public roads and woodlands.

That we use our greatest care and influence in the educational and moral training of our children by encouraging our rural schools and churches.

That, as courts and jurys are very expensive, we urge the settling of differences and disputes by arbitration.

That we realize the great good our State University at Purdue is doing toward the education, which better prepares the younger generation to meet the future needs of our country and we also desire to extend thanks to the management of the State Institute for the efficient help they have given us in carrying 011 our institute.

That we extend our thanks to Judge R. L. Mason for the use of the court room, to Mr. Edward Stanley for the use of the piano, and to Miss Marie Francis and P. A. Wilson for the excellent music, and to all who have given their time and influence to make this institute a success,

Greenfield People Are Pleased To

Learn How It Is Done.

It's pretty hard to attend to duties With a constantly aching back With annoying urinary disorders. Doan's Kidney Pills make work easier.

They cure backache. They cure every kidney ill. Mrs. Hettie Ellis, 120 Brandywine street, Greenfield, Ind., says: "I can conscientiously say that Doan's Kidney Pills are the best kidney remedy I ever used. My kidneys were disordered for some time. My back was so weak and lame that I was hardly able to walk about the house and any over-exertion caused excruciating pains to shoot through my kidneys. After using Doan's Kidney Pill, procured at Quigley's drug store, I was free from pain, my kidneys became strong and I felt much better."
