It has served its usefulness i at the old stand." It was from this cover that weisainger emerged, shot gun in hand, meeting Hull as the latter re turned from dinner. j f ;i Whether or not there was any i par ley between the two has not been learned, but it is certain Weiasinger fired both barrels of his gun .before Hall could do more than draw his pistol. Hull fell dead, riddled with DuoKsnoi, no less than sixteen, of which penetrated his breast. Weis singer walked to the sheriff's office and surrendered. j j - xnere was intense excitement in the little townj and, although ho at tempt was made on the jail, the ten sion of public J feeling was ominous The decease was bright and popu lar, and his paper had done much to develop the country, and, while his bitterness was! deplored, hia friends claimed that in the killing Weiasinger took an undue advantage. i Of course there were two sides, but the Hull faction ;wa8 in the majority and great alarm was felt for 'the safety of the prisoner.

', ;--';; -'V"I. :;.:; ' .::!!;"V ' " It s with no Ordinary pleasure that appear before you in the discussion of a topic which should enlist the closest interest of every -citizeD, the methods by which the , great indus tries bf agriculture and horticulture can best be carried on. . ' These two kindred branches of ati tivity constitute, have and - ever will continue to constitute, the very esserca and back bone of American induutry and American wealth. We are essentially an agrarian people, and we stand among the nations of the earth pre-eminently as agriouitu ral producers, ' and the ' production and transportation of our commodi ties employ the continued effort of moro men and means ! than all other industries combined, j ! The vast scale upon! which bur pro duction is carried on makes it clearly apparent that advance however Blight in the facility and economy ox pro Auction would immeasurably increase its aggregate and yield a correspond ing increase in the sum total of our wea! th. - It is the end' of scientific agriculture and horticulture to bring about this advance in the facility and economy of production. At best the problem, of over com ing nature" in production is a difficult one, and many By hard battle lies in the producer's Way. The earth must literally be subdued before it can minister to tho comfort and conven ience of civilized man.! - The warfare is one of mind against matter, v The varied and wondrous forces ia nature must be tamed and yoked fast to the chariot of human progress, or the) will continue to be wild and wasteful. No man can btcome a successful pro duoer unless he possessea intelli gence, and - he can never become great producer: unless he possess great intelligence, and this can be fully developed only! by an earnest find, constant study of the principles underlying production. We must know that grain and fro it are the products of plants, and plants, in turn, are the products of the soil, and the arable soil the product of the action of wind and rain and cold and heat upon the rocks, whereby the in gredients became broken up, altered in! chemical properties and rendered soluble in water and suitable for ab sorption by the growing plant. In order to understand the philoso phy of growth, we must known, first, thelcomposition of the plant and the Iruit it bears; second, - from what source it receives its components; and third, the condition in which it takes and assimilates these inorganic constituents,-and continues in a state of health and productiveness. Let us take an ordinary : plant (a atalk of grain for instance) and ana lyze it. We shall find the plant to be composed of fourteen lands of matter -oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, car bon, lime, potash,- soda, magnesia, iron, uauKausoe, auion, . puospourus, sulphur and chlorine and upon ex periment we shall find also that all plants gather their substance in vary ing proportions from some or all of these fourteen elementary bodies. If, then, the plant lives by absorption from the soil and air, it next becomes necessary to know the ingredients of the soil and air, and , to supply : any deficiency in either supporting ele ment. Experiment has shown that oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitro gen are to be found in air and that the other ten elements are constitu ents 'of the soil. '.;' W'. , I couple the terms! agriculture and horticulture together because they are closely related ; to each other; in deed we may inoitide both under the generic term agriculture, for the very derivation oi this term signifies a general tilling or cultivation' of the rth, and the produjta arising from this cultivation, whether distinctively fruits or vegetables, so called, are agricultural products. The term horti culture, then, as" distinguished from agriculture, I will call merely empyri' oal and nominal. Thus the Iruit pro ducer is dearly an agriculturist a farmer, and I may add that ever farm er ought to be a fruit-grower, and an intelligent fruit-grower. This latter, the intelligence of the agriculturist, is the great conaideratum of the science, and the fundamental object Of the meeting whioh I now address; and we say that all this trouble and labor is expended in the interest of one class the farmer the producer. , in a sense this is true. In a sense it is iot; for with the crops he annually larvests is the very substratum of all ither branohes of business, of all rades and professions. The mer- shant, the lawyer, the manufacturer, boated monoplist, all are dependent Let the blight or pest destroy, the jrop of the yearly liUer of the soU, tnd the very beams of Wall . Street tremble. Great business corporations may fail, eartbquaked cities may tot ter in ruins, and, as usual, the great thoroughfares of our common country continue to pour in the life blood of public prosperity, but out short the annual arop of fruit and grain and the life blood of commerce stagnates in the pubho veins,' and statesman ship gasps in- the arms of a fainting nation. I would say, then, elevate the farmer, increase his .intelligence, enlarge his facilities and capacity for husbandry, and you confer a like boon upon every other trade and occupa tion, for the agriculturalist stands at the threshold of them ail.
