TIE Farmers cf Marion and adjoining counliesare hereby inform
Il ed. that the undersigned is now having manufactured at Indian
apoLs, a number of Z" GatTHgs Patent Wheat Drill" The subject Of
planting wheat in rows, or with a drilling machine, has long been IA
mfiar with the English hushandman. and for several years past has
been in practice with many of the enterprising farmers of New York
Pennsylvania and others of the older wheat craving states Agi
cultural papers have 0aen alluded 10 the practice, advising It's adop-
ton, and giving many results showing a saving Of seed and Of abo
and a greatly increased yield Of grain. Five bushels and upward per
mere. or twenty to thirty per cent has been the usual increased yield
over the broadcast system. Wheat planted by this machine is equal
" distributed IN rows TO a uniform depth. Hence a uniformity M the
size and length of straw, rot to he found in wheat mixed with the
earth at various depths, as by the old method. Many advantages in
cidentto the drill system are given by'writers, who have fully proved
lis utility by practice one Of The most prominent of which is, the pro-
lection of the wheat from being winter killed. About 10 acres per
day with a machine adapted 10 this section Of country, and ii to 10
acres per dry with those suitable for prairie, may be estimated as the
usual days work for n hand and two forses tn plant all complete.
Another practice has also been added, Dwh that Of horse h0eigg in
the spring n process hy.which The earth between the rows, IS lOos
ened or cultivated, by n cheap and simple machine, by a man and
horse, TO the extent Of six TO ten acres per day. A writer in the Gene
Sc Farmer, February number, 1e49 page 40, speaking of Drilling and
Horse koasg, asserts, upon his own experience, that "land that or
dinariy produces only fifteen or twenty bushels per acre, will under
favorable circumstances, yield from thirty To thirty FIVE, and even as
high as forty bushels per acre. Farmers OF Illinois aud Michigan,
as well as central and northern Indiana, are desired to make them
selves acquainted, as fully rs possible, with this mode q cultivation.
A field of ten acres of wheat, drilled 0Hly, now growing on the farm

of similar Institutions, that the creduiiiy of the un-
informed. and the reluctance Of parents to enirust
their afflicted children tn the care OF strangers, could
not be overcome by publications, they availed them
selves of the profferod services of VIM. H. Church
man, who had recently resigned the charge of the
Tennessee Institution for the Blind, aud had also been
engaged for several years as Il teacher in the Ohio In
%slitutiOn; acquiring in buth these Institutions much
valuable experience with the Blind.
MIR. Churchman proposed to traverse q portion of
the State as an agent of the Board. hoping, by public
lectures and personal interviews with the Blind aud
their friends, to remove the obstacles in the way of
their being sent 10 enjoy the benefits of the fund
which had been created for the purpose Of their educa-
ton.
the mission was crowned with more than antici-
pated success; and upon the report of their agent as
TO the number of Blind persons in the State, the Trus-
tees were induced to recommend. in their report to
the Legislature in 1861, the early esla blishment of
an Institution in Indiana. This report was followed
up by n lecture from Mr.. Churchman before the Cen
eral Assembly, accompanied with an exhibition Of
the ntlainmenis of several pupils from the Ohio Insti-
tuition ; the result of all Of which was the enactment
Of a law, which passed both branches of tho Legis-
lature without a dissenting voice, establishing an In
siitution Ia g. into operation during the year 1917.
This act appointed Messrs. Calvin Fletcher, George
w. Mcnrs and James NJ. Ray, a Bard of Trustees to
direct the organization and management. of the con-
t~emplaied Institute. Mr.. Fletcher declining to serve,
Mr.. S. w. Norris became his successor by appoint
rnent of the Board.
An appropriation Of five thousand dollars was made
for the procuring Of the necessary outfit Of household
furniture, school apparatus, etc, aud for aiding i'm the
purchase of a suitable site for the erection Of perma-
nent buildings.
For the current support Of the In stitu,e, and defray-
ing in part the cost of buildings, the tax was in
creased from two mills TO one cent.
The Insiitu-icn was opened for the reception of pu-
pills on the irsi day of October, lS47, and on tie 4th
of The same month, the srhool exercises commenced
with nine pupils. During the first session. which
closed on the last Wednesday in July, 1913, thirty
scholars were received. a larger number than has
entered any other Institution for the blind in the
United States during the first year of its existence.
Il rented building was necessarily occupied during
the first year; but in the latter part Of September,
1913, part of the permanent Improvements having
been constructed, the Institute was removed 10 It's

This Institution is Il located at the capitol of Indiana,
occupying a commanding and salubrious site Of eight
acres, in the northern suburbs ofthe cit;.
1t is under the fostering care Of the State. and
was founded by Legislative enactment in tie year
1877.
The institution has for IFS object the moral, intellect
uel, ard physical training of blind youths of both sexes.
The course of instruction perused. embraces all the
ordinary branches of an English education, to which
are added Vocal and Instrumental Music. and the
knowledge Of some useful h~endlcraft occupation.
The funds Of The Institute are derived from a spe-
cifc tax, levied for tie purpose of it's support and,
consequently, no charge is made for the boarding and
tuition of It's pupils, excepting where they are resi-
dents Of other States.
The following is a brief history of its origin In
the spring of 1914, Mr.. James Nj. Ray, of this city,
being in attendance at the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church, then in session in the City of
Louisville, was invited, with the rest Of that body,
TO witness ON examination of the pupils of the Ken
lucky Institution for the education of the Blind.
Convinced, by this examination, Of the practlcabilIty
and Importance of educating this hitherto neglected
class of his fellow beings. he naturally desired to see
some efforts making in behalf Of the Blind of his own
State, and accordingly invited the superintendent of
the Kentucky Institution to visit Indianapolis, in COM
pany with some Of his scholars, during the session Of
the next Legislature. for the purpose of exhibiting
before them the progress they were making IN their
several branches of instruction. This invitation was
accepted, and so satisfactory was the exhibition. that
1t induced the levying of n tax of two mills upon
each one hundred dollars worth of taxable property,
the revenue thus nccruing 10 be applied to the main
teHance Of several blind pupils in each of the ius'itu-
tions Of Ohio and Kentucky. until such time as a
school should be established in our own State. BY
the succeeding General Assembly, that of 1896,
Messrs. James II. Ray and George w. Mcars, togeth-
err with the then Secretary. Auditor, and Treasurer Of
State, were appointed a Board Of Trustees to super
intend the application Of this fund.
In obedience 10 the requirements OF the act by
which they were appointed, the Trusters advertised in
many cf the leading papers Of the State, their rcsdi-
ness to receive applications in behalf Of any blind
youths who might wish 70 avail themselves of the op-
pOrtuniiv 10 acquire a useful education, oil the same
time addressing a circular to the county officers and
other public men throughout the State. soliciting their
aid and influence in the furtherance of the benevolent
objects of the Legislature. Finding, however, like
