THE INSTITUTE.

Continued from Fine Pace.

bread-making as well aa teaching, geography and arithmetic, or any other topic that la ■ taught. She said that heretofore the achoot has been educating the pupils away from the kitchen and the farm. Now the educators are trying to educate them back to it. Miss Berry is perhaps the finest instructor in this branch of work that ever came to Rensselaer. At 1 p. m. we enjoyed a fine song, entitled, “Hunting Chorus/’ by the. Union Township Glee Club. They are first-class in their work. SherifT John O’Connor gave an interesting talk right after dinner on his travels by sea, when he was in the U. S. Navy, telling of the interesting points visited, how deep sea soundings were made, etc., etc. We regret that we cannot go more into detail of his talk, for it was indeed interesting. “Yeast and Bread’’ by Miss Berry: if you wish a perfect loaf, that is, a loaf that is thoroughly cooked all through without any portion having a too thick crust, you muat cook each loaf in a pan by itself. It is not possible to have perfect bread in any other manner. Miss Berry had the different township samples of bread with her and pointed out certain defects and explained why they were caused and how they could be prevented. Many people remarked that the exhibited bread was much better this year than last, showing chat the Ladles’ Auxilliary are certainly doing some very good work for humanity in good old Jasper. Mr. Burkhart, in his clover talk, asked the people for the average yield per acre of clover hay here, average price per ton, average yield of clover seed, average price per bushel for the same, average yield per acre of cor 1, average price per bushel, and with their own statements showed the audience very clearly that there was more clear profit by far on clover than corn, besides the constant improving of the soil with the clover, whil*' corn has a tendency to rob the soil. Joe Pullins gave a good talk on corn. Joe does not claim to be an expert, nor does he say that he knows very much about corn, but he does say that in his three years of experimenting that he can raise a great many more bushels of corn per acre now than he ever could before. And why? Because he does not plant model ears that the Agricultural Colleges put out which are only 8 % inches in length. But he plants seed from an ear that is 10 and 12 and 13 inches long, and small cob. Such corn matures early and the corn is solid, and Joe is correct. What we want is a good solid variety that gets ripe and is a great yielder. He raises the white variety. “Rotation of Crops,” by Theodore Dunlap was a very important talk. Mr. Dunlap is a model farmer that notices everything carefully that is in any way connected with his work, and his years of experience in Illinois and Indiana with different soils has shown him the great necessity of constant rotation of crops in order to keep the strength of the soil up to the profitable point. The closing address was by Mr. Burkhart on “Education and Preparation Necessary in the Every Calling.” In this lecture the speaker drew a few vivid memoir-pictures to Illustrate how absurd it is for any man to expect to make any great success of farming without some very careful study of his business. You would not think of becoming a doctor or a lawyer just because your father was, unless you made a very careful preparation. Yet some people think that anybody can farm, that one needs no drilling. The same list of Institute oflicers were elected for the coming year: President, John E. Alter; Secretary, Everett Halstehd; Treasurer, A. A. Fell. The Woman’s Auxilliary officers are: Mrs. Burton, President; Mrs. B. D. Comer, Secretary; Mrs. Marion I. Adams, Treasurer.

This is why his prescription—Dr. Shoop’s Restorative—is directed entirely to the cause of these ailments —the weak inside or controlling nerves. It isn’t so difficult, says Dr. Shoop, to strengthen a weak Stomach, peart, or Kidneys, if one goes at it correctly. Each inside organ has its controlling or inside nerve. When these nerves fail, then those organs must surely falter. These vital truths are leading druggists everywhere to dispense and recommend Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. Test It a few days, and see! Improvement will promptly and surely follow. Sold by all dealers.
