We have a flattering prospect for an tnter- esting and successful Farmers’ Institute to be held ‘in Whitehall, Mare 28-29 at McKay's hall. It will be observed that we hare arranged for five sessions; and that the progfam covers almost cverything of intérost to the Jefferson Valley farmers. We hope the farwérs will make an effort to ettond every session and be prepared to take an active part in the various subjects that come before the Institute.” One of the chief aims of the Institute Is to enéourage the farmers to mect together and exchange ideas, and relate thelr personal oxperiences. In this way we can profit by the success of our neighbor and avoid his mistakgs. We will find the professors from the Agricultural College pleasant gentlemen to meet and cn- rtaining in their talk in presenting the Various subjocts assigned-them: Prof. Fortier, director of the experimental farm‘and also director of the Farmers’ Insti- tutos, will be on hand, and will give us mach valuable information on the subject of irri- gation. He has had a wide experience and has been active in many of the extensive irrigation schemes of all the western states. He will discuss the duty of water, the meas- urement and division of'water, and the con- struction of reservoirs. Prof. Shaw, who fs an authority on agricul-\ turalsubjects, wiil-ve ready to give the results of experiments at the farm. He will tell us about the nutritive value of the different grasses and other feeds. He will also give us important data regarding the dairy as related to the creamery. Lis experience will-be of great value tothe farmer who feeds cattle, sheep or hogs. Mr. Shaw is on interesting talker avd presents facts not—theories. Dr. Traphagan, the famed chomfst, will be — to ie us about the adulteration ot nd other important matters of : geen to farmers, but to everyone, ‘Vir ardner, who is an expert in the chicken business, will be here pat atk on the various branches of the Fs one try. busie ness. many bf our people are producing and poultry for market, his t3 fous will be ST more an usual- interest. hear from qed Jadies who “have har ee hope, with poul tr.

Now Indian Tribesmen Succeed In Bseaping the Police, Some of the India. tribes over which we rule give us a great deal of trouble, botably the Mahsuds. The Mahsuda, howevex, are not by any means the worst of the Indian robber tribes, the unenviable distinction probably falling to the Bhils, who are the clevercst scoundrels in the world, both. in their methods ‘of acquiring other people's property and in evading pursuit. They are yery proud of their skill in {lfering and openly boast of It. One of them once told a British officer that he could steal the blanket from under him and wae promptly chalienged to -show his ability, That nigbt when the oticer wae fast.qsleep the Bull robber cét a hole in bis tent, crept notsclessly iy and gently. tickled the hands and fect Uf the-sleeping.man.

In the little town of Hinsdale, Mass., the collecting and marketing of the sword ferng, which.grow profusely on the Berkshire hills, has become a bust- ness of no small proportions.

Am- monia gas is generally preferred to others because It can be liquefied with comparatively little pressure. On re-! moving the water from common a:- monia by distillation anhydrous am-| proula {3 obtained. This is compressed by a combined steam pump and a com- pressor, and the resulting liquefaction induces heat, which Is economized by circulating water about the vessel or ‘pipe containing the liquefied ammonia. Thus the amimonia'is cooled aad the heat largely traneferred to th® water, | which is then pSaped back to the boiler that supplics the steam pump. The Hquid ammonia ts then carried In a pipe to expansion coils that afford plenty -of room “for its evaporation, when It begins to return to the gaseous form and to draw heat from its sur- roundings, which gradually cist the temperattre. Troper vesscls of water afé placed in contact with the expansion colls, aud in due time ice is forined. Two Wrongs, _ A clergyman, lecturing on “Capital Punishinent,” took strong grounds | against the death penalty, arguing that while it was wrong for a man to cou . mit murder It was but another wrong to kill the murderer and that two Wrongs never made a right. “At least,” said be, “I never beard ot but one case where they did.” And he’ proceeded to relate the following story, presumably in support of his argu: ment: “A man entered a country grocery, where a number of the villagers sat around on barrels and boxes, and ask- ed if two wrongs ever made a right. The response was ‘Never. 80 } thought till recently,” continued he. “when I met a stranger who asked me to change a five dollar bill for him, I did so and after bis departure found the bill was a couuterfeit. So.1 kept it till the other day and shoved it on 8 fellow greener than 1.\ The listeners exclaimed tliat those were two wrongs certainly, but they didn’t make a right. “Well,” replied the man, “they made me all rigbt.” | ‘ The specter of unpaid bills never haunts those who buy only what they can afford, The greatest of all pleneures ia to sive ploaerre to one we love. , , at 1 o'clock In the afternoons Here on of ‘Jows there, The dewands of Dr. Merz), which it ts said will duully_all be-granted, include home rule and opening of the sultan's crown lands to Jewish colonization.
