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.

k me why I discus Ingersoll and his

Why, hi utterances are spread nil over

It wu a trampling tiHin the liberties of

that you neci.pt Ingersoll as a teacher

former. 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,

their parts quite well, Indeed, the per

Now for my proof that Ingersoll Is un
just. Ho says that Cbrlstalil men and
women are Intellectually hound, hum!
and f'sit. Ingersoll, while not himself
thinker, will no doubt admit that
Jesus Christ wa thegrcnlcst thinker of
his thud; Indeed, ho wn the greati t
thinker of all time. Thou again, who
re the greatest statesmen, thinkers,
poets scholars? They are Christians,
The mlghllcat men, the most original
thinker, the greatest scholars of all
time have been Christians. No great
astronomer wa ever an Agnostic or tin

We are pleased to learn that W. E.
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.

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. The (lospols wore In ex-
istance tbe first year of the Cniistlan

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
