People's Pilot, Volume 3, Number 32, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 January 1894 — Another Letter. [ARTICLE]

Another Letter.

To Pres. Yeoman and Sec’y. Nowels of the Jasper County Farmer's Institute. Gentlemen:—My attention is called to your communication in last week’s issue of the Pilot, and allow me to say that I am ready to admit that the language used in the open letter to the Farmers of Jasper County might be so construed as to convey the idea that political questions would or could be discussed at the coming Institute, yet I had no idea that any such thing -would be tolerated. As you state, the institutes are “for the purpose of an exchange of ideas upon the different modes of farming and stock raising, that the farmer may be enabled to get the best results for his labor.” In other words how to make two blades of grass grow where only one grew before. This we believe we have accomplished, but the question will keep confronting us. What has become of it?

No, gentlemen, this writer is fully awai’e that political discussion, or anything approaching it will not be tolerated at the Institute, but don’t it look just a “little bit” as though the appropriation was made for political effect? If politics were to be admitted there would have been no appropriation. How many times have farmers been advised and admonished to keep out politics, but go where he will, they stay right with him. It is very much to be desired that every farmer in the county who farms the land should be present at the Institute, and he is advised to be careful when he enters the hall where the Institute is being held, to close the door securely so that politics cannot enter. And when it is all over, he can judge which will be of the most practical benefit to him, what he heard or what he did not hear. A Farmer. P. S. In replying please be particular to state just how to connect “stock raising” with, or what relation it bears to the subject of “The advantage of tennatry over hired labor.”

The persistent cough which usually follows an attack of the grip can be permanently cured by taking Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. W. A. McGuire, of McKay, 0., says: “La grippe left me with a severe cough. After using several different medicines without relief, I tried Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, which effected a permanent cure. I have also found it to be without an equal for children, when troubled with colds or croup. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by F. B. Meyer, druggist.
