The speaker said lit cam to this en terprlslug funning community with a few suggestions which be would like discussed among tha farmer. He re form! to wheat growing as about played out a a profitable Industry, HtlKNTIKIO Fakmino. Farming for profit nowaday means farming carried on as a business, and on business principle' The most Im portant factors for profitable farming are production, soil, favorable climate, good markets and skillful farmer, coupled with easy ace to market. The Willamette valley farmer have made money of wheat growing when price were high, but now It la work with small or no pay, therefore some thing els should b done. Mixrd Fahmino. What should It bo? It should be diversified farming. Keollly should the eliauu be, ret your Income from the sale of live slock and flue butter. As many In this locality are Interested In seeing this county developed Into a dairy county, th ajs-aker eieclally dwelt upou thalawue. W hat a grand field there Is here, said lie, for butter produellou, and Just think of It you do not make enough butter In tbe whiter to aupply the country's wants, to say nothing about supplying tbe oltlctl Just think of It for a moment. You buy your butter from Wlsoonslu, Iowa and Illinois and pay over a bushel of of flue wheat for two pounds of butter. Tiik Daihv Bi kinkhm. Young man have a Ulk with your father, get him Interested In this great field of Industry. There I plenty cf money lu It; there I a great deal more lu It for the bright young man tlinn going Into oine city huslue. But, of oounw, If you go Into the dairy bulues you have first to learn that bushier. few suggestions in ft geueral way may lead to furthur discussion more letall. The common practice of caring for cattle and no dairying will not keen (lie boys on th farm. We I mut t AHK fur the cow, we cannot afford to krep a cow a whole year and got only 50 or 76 jsiunds of butter of her. We want JIM pounds of butter a year of each cow. You aay, but It will coat Ilk every thing to get 2D0 pounds if butter to each cow. Ah, No! It coat more to keep a cow when well fed ouly six mouths of the year and starve her the balance. Cows should not calve In the spring, but lu Septem ber. Butter I worth twice aa much in the winter a lu tbe summer, therefore there Is much more profit In a winter dairy. We must have a small piece of ground planted to txtU every year to help along the cows. Bee's are grass for tbe cows In winter. We cau grow splendid oats, aud when harvested be fore quite ripe It make line fed togeth er with gixxl tame bay aud roots. What a wonderful benefit could b derived from a model dairy established somewhere handy. It would show the fanner how to take hold of this now Industry where all questions could be answered etc. IJCt.DkU II (1(1 II K UN INUKHNOI.I,, Aa latsrsallu IllMuuna.

Ingersoll take hi Ideas of OihI and Christianity from , hi father conception of the same. I would rather Is- an Infidel than to be lieve In the kind of a (iod Ingersoll paints for tho Christian.

Home of the jokes were quite original and witty, but a few of them wore rather too personal to be heartily enjoyed. Considering that the troupe wa composed of home talent, and many of it members appeuring for the first time upon the stage, the entertain mout wus a very creditable aud pleas ant affair. Horn of the actor showed considerable dramatic talent. Messrs, Warren Crsssy, Fred Douty. Oscar Itcnnle and W. H.

The gros receipts of tho cveu ing amounted to $157. 2.1, and the net proceeds will be used for the purpose of purchasing Improved fire apparatus. I-Koor OK I.NJl'fiTICK. Now for my proof that Ingersoll Is un just. Ho says that Cbrlstalil men and women are Intellectually hound, hum! and f'sit.

Dalton was some better yesterday, what are the fuels? The best biblical scholar aay there are more than nine huudred and fifty manuscripts. Th candor and honesty of Christian schol arship gave u this wonderful Issik the lilble. Ingersoll misquote the Bible, aud inlstate fuel. Then. are ouly thirty manuscript which contain n parent contradictions, aud then? are only two real so-called contradiction Our Biiti-biblicul critic ay the tiospels were originally written in Creek, but I say, aud the conclusions of scholar ship are on my side, that they wore written In the Hebrew dialect. The Gospel of Matthew was the gospel of the church for tho first two hundred year. Ingersoll nay the Kplstle were writ! an by, we know not whom, and addressed to no one. Lot us examine thl state ment. Paul addressed his Fplstle to the Hebrew, tho Thesselonluns, etc, I presume la-cauau he did not sign hi name 'Your truly, Paul', at tho end of each Kplstle I the n'usou why Mr, 1 n gersoll say thut bo did not wrltetheiu. The Fpistlo are both addressed and signed according to the literary custi in of tne age lu which they were written. LAYS IT OS THICK. Ingersoll says that Christ never told anyone to remember or write down his saying. Why, Jesus said to hi disciples "Why liave ye not reinemlarcd the thing I said uuto you?" The speaker quoted several similar utterance. Je sus upbraided hi disciple for not re membering hi words, ond yet In the face of these facts, Mr. Ingersoll says that he,saldjuothlng of the sort. Agnin John, the rovolalor wn told to write down what ho saw, etc. I think I have refuted Ingersoll by a few plain evidences which you can easily vciify for yourselves. HIHTOHICAI. I'HlMll'. Then, again, our crlllo nay these Gospels wore not written unlll hundreds of year after tho Apostle wore dust. Why Celsu quoted from those goepol. Ho wrote twenty-four volumes against Christianity.

KAKTHKU CIUTtCtHM, Ingersoll any there Is not a word In Matthew about "faith by salvation," it Is all about act, deeds, etc. Wnut are the fact? Matthew used the word faith a number of times coupling belief with salvation, and so do Murk, Luke and John. The speaker quoted several pnsngcg from the Gospels contradicting Ingersoll' statement. With all his humanity and generosity Ingersoll Is either an Ignoramus or a liar upon this subject I prefer to hellve that ho Is ignorant, Franklin once asked n lot of publishers why a fish weighing sixly flvo mhi nils when put Into a tub full of water would not cause the water to spill out. They cuddled their brains for somo time over the problem. Franklin then asked them why they had not inquired into the truth of the statement. Ho with Ingersoll, ho hud better Inquire Into tho truth of his as sertions. There I not a hint in Mat thew, says Ingersoll, that Josti was a God, or was born of a virgin. The speaker road several passages from Matthew refuting Ingersoll's stute menta. ' iNannsoi.LiA.v home. ; I will now give nsamplcof Ingersoll's logic, and "I dont want you little boy ou the buck scats to luugli." Me say that a certain passage in Matthew 1 an interpolation because Murk says noth ing about It. Wonderful logic!
