except to newspaper men. He thanked God
for the newspaper. They were the educators
or the farmers. He was glad that these self
sacrificing men were willing to turn night
INTO day for the benefit of their fellow men.
But their exceptional work had no application

Among the students at the state university
he had observed that the boys and girls who
came the IdFn 10 tue scnOOl always
took the lead. They were healthier in both
body and mind than the youth who came from
the towns and cities. But want TO talk on
horticulture When I am working with my
flowers 1 feel that l am nearer
THE HEAVENLY FIELDS
than can get elsewhere on earth. Flower
raising beats horse and cattle breeding, and
strawberry culture is far ahead of wheat SOW
ing and reaping. He then gave practical dis
cussion of the best system of strawberry Gull
ture. The Crescent and Countess were the
pest FOR Minnesota. Cultivate and. fertiliZe
well up to August-not later. Cover well
during the winter, but not until freezing
weather comes. Raspberries require rich
ground and shallow cultivation. High ground
is best. Keep the suckers pruned off. The
nOtlon that OiackDerries cannot be grown in
Minnesota is a falacy. He was making
successful experiment and raised last year
5000 quarts TO the acre. He protects from
winter killing bending the stalks down TO

''What about grapes?'D Anybody can raise
grapes. A ten-year-old boy can do that. A

than grown on its own root. A vine should

SHORT HORN EXHIBIT.
After the adjournment of the afternoon
session Mr.. Arthur b. Moffatt exhibited his
herd of ShOrthOrns, which are kept on
his stock farm adjacent to the town. He
has heard of sixty, and they are beauties.
His bull London Prince is a graceful and
notwithstanding animal, and the entire
herd shows good keeping and careful herd
ing. Il have no special claim to make for
the ShOrthOrns," said Mr.. Moffatt. ''They
are so well known in this country as to
make 1t unnecessary to say anything in
their behalf. 1t is universally conceded
that for all purposes no breed of cattle has
ever yet equaled them. The Shorthorn is
the one standard by which all other breeds
are measured. The more nearly any breed
approaches the short horn in any one par
ticular the higher the estimate that is placed
upon it,"
EVENING SESSION.
The glee club opened the meeting with q
choice selection, after which Mr.. Harris de-
livered his lecture on the Vegetables for the
Farm Garden. Mr.. Harris gave descrip-
ton OF all the varieties of vegetables raised,
together with the methods of raising same,
the yield of the different vegetables and the
quality and market value of same, also the
insects that destroy the vegetables and how
to protect them. The discussion of the
topic brought out the information over
looked by Mr.. Harris. The next address
was delivered by S. NJ. Owens of Mime
apolis. Mr.. Owens is one of those pleasant
speakers who adds much to a meeting. His
subject on the Organization of Farmers
Clubs, Meetings and Institutes was very
interesting to those in attendance
A beautiful solo, Take Back the Ring. "
was sung by Mrs. Day SpauIding. An
encore was responded to with ''Annie
Laurie with Miss Mabel Smith as organist.
). NJ. Owen Of Minneapolis was requested
to speak on the subject of the Shotgun and
responded with scattering but effective
firing at various farm topics. The president
announced as the next subject The Globe
is Ours with the request that Capt. George
II. Moffett of the st. Paul GLOBE respond
to it. Capt. Moffett replied in short address
expressing qualification that the time had
come spoken of by the Psalmist when the
GLOBE and the fullness thereof was the
heritage of the farmers of Minnesota. Mr..
KentIy of Waterville took the position that
| farming offered nothing to excite the ambi-
ton or aspirations of the boy or girl. This
view was resented by c. l.. Smith of Min
neapOlis in fiery little speech. The Glee
club sang the song, Don't Leave the
Farm, Boys" Adjourned until 10 o'clock
