FARMERS' SCHOOL IS ADVOCATED BY

CHARLES In His Address to the Farmers' Institute He Said the State Legislature Should Provide Such Institutions. OTHER SPEAKERS TOLD OF GOOD FARMING. R. L. Thompson of Lagrange, Urged People Not to Specialize Unless Farms Were Adapted to Specialization. Cambridge City. Ind.. Jan. 24. The second day of the farmers institute opened Thursday morning with a largo crowd of farmers in attendance, despite the bad weather. The session was first addressed by Mr. It. L. Thompson, of Lagrange county, on the subject "Shall I be a Mixed Farmer or a Specialist". In the course of his Jemarks Mr. Thompson said that both of these branches of farming could be carried on profitably, but that tip- mixed farmer would attain success in an easier way than the specialist, for the pimple reason that ho has more resources. Specializing on any one of the products of the farm can best be conducted on a farm that is especially adapted to the raising of the chosen product and not on a farm suited only for general purposes. "Soil building" was theu discussed by A. O. Ivockridge of Greeneastle. 1 ne work of the building up of the roil plays a principal part in the farm arrangement and it is a subject to be deeply studied by every farmer who fleeires the best results and most profits on his land. Good soil la desired by every farm owner and this result can only be obtained by an unceasing effort in the art of soil building. In fertile soil there must be four processes at work all the while, namely, fermentation, decay, mold and bacteria and every farmer should be untiring In his efforts to restore these processes, In the soil that they now deem worthless as far as producing good crops Is concerned. This can be accomplished in a short time, by breaking the ground a little deeper each year and then giving it the proper drainage for in so doing the exPesaive moisture is taken away from the surface of the ground leaving it in a soft fertile condition that the roots of the different plants may be able to penetrate Jt seeking the nourishment they require. Chas. W. Jordan, county superintendent of schools addressed the audience very intelligently, his topic being "Why Study Agriculture" saying that agriculture ranks among the foremost of the sciences and should be adopted for close and careful study in all schools. Mr. Jordan suggested that the state legislature enact a bill whereby the trustees of the different counties In the state he given the pow er to select and buy a tract of land upon which to erect a commodious echool building a barn and sheds for stock, all these to be placed in charge of a teacher who is an expert in the art of agriculture and thus conduct a county experimental station, wherein the young farmers of the county would be able to take up and follow the study of agriculture iu a scientific manner. A larger crowd gathered for the afternoon and closing session of the institute the hall being filled to its capacity. A musical program arranged liy Prof. Reese, consisting of chorus pongs by a number of school children, a piano solo by Miss Oaynell Hacoman and a vocal solo by Miss Susie Freeman, added pleasure to the after noon proceedings. A whistling solo by Mrs. Wagner was ulso a very en joyable feature. "Business methods in farming", was discussed by A. O. Lockridge, pointing Heart Troubles The heart mav !c weak just the same as the eyes, stomach or other organs. It often happens that a person is born with a weak heart. Then again disease, fevers, over-exertion, anxiety, nervousness, . rheumatism, etc. weaken the heart. The result is shortness of breath, palpitation, pain in the heart, or in some of the nerves of the chest or abdomen. The heart should be strengthened with a tonic, and for this nothing equals Br. Miles' Heart Cure. "I had LaGrlppe last fall as 1 thought in a mild form. I was weak, tired felir,ff, and short of breath: could hardly go about, and a good deal of th time sort of an asthmatic breathing and estrmlv nervous. I twerui uUUngr Ir. Miles' Heart Cure and Nervine and now I feel so much better Id every way. I am so thankful that I begun takln this medicine, and shall not hesitate to tell others hvr much rood it has done me."

in the iuttiie in order that he ma rank among the foremost men of the, country and nor. be considered a "hayseed,"' so to speak. Indolence. Mr. Thompson said, is thy greatest drawback that the former has. and that they should strive to keep away from this drawback and brace up so that the public will recognize him as a man of affairs. It is afao well for the farmer to keep abreast with the civic affairs of the country that is, he should read good literature; on the current topics of the day. Miss Lucy Gilbert read an interesting paper, "The Farm House and the Farm Family," bringing out the very important fact that the home should always be a happy place and suggested that it would be well to place improvements in the house for the housewife to work with, as well as having the improved machinery lor the tilling of the soil. The discussion of country roadways, by the members of the Farm Home Makers club, namely Mrs. Walter Wood, Mrs. Jennie Morris, Mrs. Thos. Henby and Mrs. Virginia C. Meredith was the closing feature of the institute. The members of this organization suggested iu their discussion the improvement of the country roads, making them beautiful and pleasing to the eye by exterminating the weeds and the placing of shade trees alongside the driveways. Also that the farm fences be kept in good shape by the land owners, which thing not only adds to the looks of the place but also increases its value. The roadways themselves are not properly kept up so that travel over them is always a pleasant affair and for this reason the members of this club desire to increase the interest in the matter of improvement of country roads and thereby enable the residents of the surrounding territory to bo able to enjoy the pleasure of perfect drives in the country. This was one of the most successful and most largely attended institute meetings this city has ever had. Deep interest ha been manifested In these meetings by all the people in this vicinity. Resolutions were adopted whereby all parties were thanked for their assistance toward the success of the meeting. TIME IS THE TEST The Testimony of Richmond People Stands the Test. The test of time is what tells the tale. The public soon finds out when misrepresentations nro made, and merit alone will stand the test of time. Richmond people appreciate merit, and many months ago local citizens publicly endorsed Uoan's Kidney Pills; they do so still. Would a citizen make the statement which fol lows unless convinced that the article was just as represented? A cure that lasts is the kind that every sufferer from kidney ills is looking for. Mrs. Edgar S. Mote, of 17 North Sixteenth St., Richmond, Ind., says: oome ears ago my nusuana was having some trouble with his back lhere was a dull aching pain that bothered him most of the time, lie was told about Doan's Kidney Pills and got. a supply at A. CI. Iuken & Cos. drug store. After taking it he never again mentioned backache to me. He believed that Doan's Kidney Pills are a great reni.id.y and has told several people of the benefit he got through using them." For sale by all dealers. Trice M cents.

T COMPOSER DEAD Edward Alexander MacDowell Answers Call. New York, Jan. 24 Kdward Alexan der MacDowell, who has been recognized a.s America's foremost composer, died at the Westminster Hospital at S o'clock last night. He was 46 years Old. Death was due to a nervous affection. Iu the spring of 1905 Mr. MacDowell suffered a nervous collapse from which he failed to recover. The composer spent the last summer at his summer home in Peterboro, N. H., returning on November 1 to this city, where he had made his home during the winters since 1S96, when he removed here from Boston. From the date of his return to town this winter he failed rapidly. Fireless stoves or self cookers, as they are variously known, have been in use in Germany for a number of years. The earlier types were merely boxes constructed with, doublo walls or by secret processes built so as to retain heat when sealed. These cookCIS are used as follows: After a thorough heating the food to be stewed or boiled is placed inside the box, sealed and left a sufficient inie, when it is opened and the food, cooked by the retained heat is ready to serve. Recently a Berlin company has improved upon the apparatus and produced a fireless stove that not only cooks, but fries and roasts. Frying and roasting are accomplished by the use of a heated stone.

THE RUBBER TREE. How tha Milk la Treated Aftar the, Plant la Tapped. Para rubber is obtained from a largo tree sixty feet high. The trees are tapped in the evening, and the Juice Is collected on the following morning. A deep horizontal Incision is made near the base of the tree, and then from It a vertical one extending up the trunk, with others at short distances ia an oblique direction. Small shallow cups made from clay and dried Jn the sua are placed below the incisions to re ceive the milk, each cup being attached by sticking a piece of soft clay to the tree and pressing the cup against It. Each tree yields only about fix ounces of juice iu three days. To produce the rubber the juice s heated iu the following manner: A piece of wood about three feet long, with a flattened clay mold at one end of it, is dipped In the milk, or this is placed over it as evenly as possible. The milk is then carefully dried by turning the mold round aud round in a white vapor obtained by heating certain oily palm nuts, the vapor being confined within certain limits by the narrowness of the neck of the pot la which the nuts are heated. Each layer of rubber is allowed to become firm before adding another. A practiced band can make fivo or six. pouuds ao hour. New Vurk American. WEARING TROUSERS. At One Time the Custom Wat Regarded aa Irreligious. It will assuredly seem more thau strange that at one time, and not so long ago, the wearing of trousers was regarded aa Irreligious. The fact that in October, IS 12, an order was made by St. John's and Trinity colleges that every young man who appeared in hall or chapel in pantaloons or trousers should be considered as absent Is startling enough, but it would appear that eight years later the founders of a Bethel chapel at Sheffield inserted a clause in the trust deed ordaining that "under no circumstances whatever shall any preacher be allowed to occupy the pulpit who weara trousers." This is striking, but It i even more impressive to find that the Rer. Hugh P.ourne. one of the two founders of the Primitive Methodist Connexion, said of his co'ounder, "That trousers wearing, beer drinking Clowes will never get to heaTen." And it would need a student of "the Breeches Bible" to say precisely when this assumed "connexion" between theoloffy and trousers began and where the departure from It will end.
