FARMERS INSTITUTE.
Several Successfully Successful SEES.
sions of Agriculturists and
Their Friends.
THURSDAY AFTERNOON SESSION.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON SESSION.
The institute convened at 2 o'clock P.
M. President J. M. WEIGH called the
meeting to order.
A motion was made and carried that
r. G. Kessler be elected secretary.
Prof. Kellerman was called on to state
the general objects of farmers institutes.
In closing his remarks, he suggested that
committee be appointed to arrange a
program for this evenings session. WIS.
Tilton George V. York and Mrs. r. G..
Kessler were appointed as such commit
tee.
w. w. Walkey addressed the meeting
on the culture of potatoes. He gave a
fine illustration of their culture. He rec
commended new ground-say of the Sec
ond cultivation-for fine growth and
favor of Irish potatoes. He said that in
planting two eyes were not too many in a
cutting. He would drill the cuttings
fifteen inches apart. Mr.. Walkey favored
medium sized potatoes for seed.
A. F. Tosh gives, as his experience, that
the potato for seed should be cut SO that
there would be one eye to the cutting.
Prof. Kellerman suggests that, from a
scientific standpoint, large potatoes should
be used for seed.
E. w. Brown says that in selecting his
seed potatoes he always takes the finest
samples of his crop, and that these give
the best results.
Mr.. E. Osborn wishes an expose on po-
tato rot.
D. Countryman claims that the Early
Ohio is subject to little black spots just
beneath the skin.
E. W. Browns theory concerning pota-
to rot is that the Early Ohio grows in and
near the surface, and that this causes the
rot. He suggests that after the maturing
of the crop the potatoes should be Gov
cred in the rows by means of a pillow. He
also says that after digging great care
must be exercised not to let the potatoes
get hot, especially by the sun, until after
they are stored away.
Mr.. Walkey claims that the using of
compost produces rot in potatoes.
E. w. Brown cautions against using
for seed potatoes which are infected with
rot.
Mr.. Walkey claims there is a certain
way to cut a potato for planting. He
never would cut crosswise of the tuber,
but always lengthwise, and leave as much
flesh as possible with the eye. This
theory is good, and always cut from the
seed end of the potato.
Mr.. Countryman claims that he has
raised splendid potatoes from the parings.
Prof. Kellerman requests all informa-
ton he can get in regard to the potato
rot and it's various forms. He wishes to
turn this information to practical account
at the agricultural college.
Mr.. Brown claims that when the ground
is shaded by squash vines, or otherwise
kept cool, potatoes never rot, and always
give the best results.
The Committee on Program reports
the following exercises for the session
this evening:
Lecture on Hygiene-Prof. Kellerman.
Potato Culture W. Walkey.
Gardening-E. w. Brown.

tute adjourned until this evening, at 7:30

A True Narration.

A quartet OF Haley sportsmen went
down to Silver Creek yesterday in
search of game and fish. The result,
although not SO magnificent as might
have been expected in July, was
about as follows: "Doc." caught one
duck asleep in the shade OF a willow
bush and bagged it in fine shape; also,
one (!) suit Of clothes. sack" by a
piece Of strategy, brought down a
monster mosquito ("a bloody snipe,
ye know" was what he called it).
Charley Wood showed up at camp
along about 4 o'clock p. M. with 20
or 30 fine trout, but the united powers
of the remainder of the party failed
to persuade him to tell how much he
paid the boy for them; and he still
has the nerve to insist that he
them. And this narrator
caught-a ID of cold and has
had rheumatic in his j'ints eve since.

With the unseatlng of Messrs

of the Legislature arc about ready
for business. The respective House.
stand as follows: Council six Repub.
licans, three anti Mormons, and three
Democrats. The Lamoreaux contes,
case in the Council having compelled
a show OF colors and shades of color OF
degree of partisanship, and Mr.. Lam
oreaux having been unseated BY a
unanimous vote, it is evident that the
Council is united on the proposition,
which is about to come before it in
definite shape, to effectually settle the
Mormon question, in order to remove
it from the field of party politics To
that end all true friends of Idaho
should "forever pray" to use the
language Of official petitions.
IN THE HOUSE
The sentiment is almost equally unan-
imous, the Republicans having 22 out
OF "a members. One of these (Mr.
De Haven) was expected to vote with
the anti Mormons; but it is said that
some shrewd Democrat half persusd-
ed him that his seat was about to | Q
contested, and in order to square him
self with his party he took the high
moral and legal ground that the Leg.
stature had no right to go "behind
the returns" and decide upon the
legality Of the votes cast for the un-
seated members. Mr.. Clancy, the
other Democratic hermit Of the House.
is holder ana more outspoken. He
holds that the members He does not

and that they have the only good,

AN IMPOSING SPECTACLE.
Mr.. !.amoreanx was unceremoni.

The question Of unsea.ing Messrs.

arguments were heard in the House

arguments occupied nearly three
hours. At o'clock ia the evening

whom were some ladies. Every one

was evident, was about to put the

The Legislature is admittedly the
ablest and most conscenti yus one

majority are pronounced Temperance

FIVE SUGGESTIONS.
Facts In Farming That Seem to BE En-
titled to Some Consideration.

Facts In Farming That Seem to BE En-
titled to Some Consideration.
A horse that would balk and kick
terribly before the plow cured at once
by simply binding him with a cloth
for half an hour At quite long inter-
walls this would have to be repeated. |
have a very unruly fellow now that |
can only keep inside an ordinary fence
by fastening a hood over his eyes when
turned out to pasture. | think almost
any baking horse could be made to
pull by simply covering his eyes for a
short time.
g 1t may not be known to all that
hogs, even sows with pigs, do very
well on good pasture all summer long.
Toward fall in an orchard when apples
begin to drop they will do exceedingly
well with no other food.
3. Many farmers cure hay entirely
too much, thereby damaging it cOnsid-
erably. If moved away with discre-
ton (any unusually damp loads put by
themselves), it can be safely stored
with half the curing often given.
4. When you see the deep green
leaves Of fruit tree taking on a lighter
shade, look at once for grubs at the
base of the trunk. BY probing with a
steel wire that will spring every way
and will not stay bent, you can soon
rout these destroyers.
5. Probably not half of the farmers
give lime in any form to their fowls.
Of course the hens manage to lay tol-
erably without the direct supply of
lime, but the egg-shells are often very
thin and eggs much fewer than though
the birds had full supply of oyster or
clam shells, which they eat greedily,
showing very plainly their necessity
for the fowls to do their best,-S. N.
Palmer, IN NJ Y. Tribune.

Sites for Farm Buildings.

If you are in need of any new build
ing on the farm, before selecting the
sites for them first think well over the
object to be attained. A new ice-house
should be located in the shade of a
tree, if possible, and in a northern eX-
posure, while the new cow-house or
house should have just the opposite
position. Especially should the hen
house be located on southern expos
ure while the cow-shed should be
placed on the south side of the barn to
save all the heat that can possibly be
gotten out of the sun in winter. These
are things to always consider in locat-
ing houses on the farm, giving prefer
ence to the most important, but neg
lecting none.-AnericaR DairynlaR
