THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.

1t will surely be held. The dates are
fixed at January 16, II and Is, and the
three days, we can promise, will be the
most fruitful and the most instructive
to the farmers and everybody in gener-
al, of any three days ever spent for a
similar purpose. To tell it in short,
the Farmers Institute is to be u treat
to Brown County and its neighbors.
The best and most experienced farm
lecturers from this and other states are
employed iii these sessions and what
they say is not mere talk, but is either
the result OF practical acquaintance
with the subject. or else is founded on
the closest study. The lecturers are
not men who are unknown through
out the state. They are men whose
ability to deal with their particular
hobbies is acknowledged. For instan ce
there is DR.. Curryer, who has reputa-
ton all over the northwest for his ad-
vocacy of the training method of
handling horses in preference to the
breaking rule. His talks on this SUBJ
ject are illustrated and carried into
practice and are Therefore of unusual
interest. Then there is DR.. VIM. Dick
son, whose ready wit and natural aptl-
tude for his calling, make him an ever
pleasing speaker. He brings in such
topics as the care of sick animals and
of wire cuts or other wounds, treatment
of distemper and collie, care of colts,
black leg in cattle and dehorning, gar
get causes and remedies, and horse
shoeing. On these matters he is as
well posted as anyone in Minnesota
and is capable Of giving valuable infor.
nation.
General farming and pork produc-
ton represents the field of Theodore
Louis, of Wisconsin. In connection
Herewith he touches upon various mat
rersswine breeding, feeding for pro-
fit, care of manure and how to save it,
clover and clover pasture, the hog as
an adjunct to our dairy, the possibility
OF corn crop, what crops to grow
aside from corn, Ito aid in the cheaper
production of pork, hog diseases,
movable fences, and cooked or un-
cooked feed. Mr.. Louis is one of the
Oldest pork producers in the
Northwest. All of his themes are the
outgrowth of farm life and no man can
hear him without receiving knowledge
that will be of advantage.
Besides these there are other interest.
ing takers Mrs. Prot. Hayes gives a
series of lectures, for the benefit Of the
ladies, on cooking, paying special atten-
ton to that part Of the science which af-
fects the baking Of bread, the making

Of salads, and boroiling and roasting. c.
I. Smith, Of Minneapolis. deals with
trees garden and fruit culture, and
poultry raising. He illustrates with
diagrams and has the faculty of making
himself understood.

lake IN part or all of 1t. will make a
mistake that is mistake. It should
be attended by everybody.

THE AGRICULTURAL MEETING.

The annual meeting of the Brown
County Agricultural Society, which
was held at Turner Hall last Saturday
afternoon. was we'll attended. The
principal business was the election of
officers and the reading of reports.
The former produced but little change
in the present list, and with the excep.
ton OF the directors it remains the same.
VIM. Pfaender was chosen president;
Ed Hensel, vice president; C. W. H.
Heldemann, secretary; and Jacob
klossner was elected treasurer. The
directors were selected according to
towns and are as follows: New Ulm:
W. Bosch, P. Herian, F. 81. Retzlaff,
Q. a. Hornburg and E. G. Koch; Mil
ford, H. Z. Runk and Ludwig Never;
Sigel. Anton Hillesheim and Carl For
ster; Cottonwood, Matthew Reck and
B. Marschner; CORTLAND, Gotlieb
Arndt; Lafayette, F. Fritsche; and
Home, P. T. Gibbs.
The reports of the officers gave evil
dence of the healthy condition of the
society and threw light upon it's re-
marbable growth. That of the presi-
dent was short, but contained enough
to prove that the society was on foot
ing that would warrant them in making
the next fair the climax of all. He urged
frequent meetings during the winter for
the purpose of discussing topics of gen
eral interest to farmers, and invited the
presence Of every member at the COM
ing Institute. The secretary enlarged
on these points and to his report added
financial statement, corresponding to
that of Treasurer Klossner. From this
it appears that the receipts of the socie-
ty for the present year from state APP
preparation, admission fees, dues, spe-
cial attractions and the like, amounted
to $1069.52, While the disbursements
come within few dollars of this sum,
leaving balance of only 1928, it must
be remembered that much of the ex-
penditure was in the line of perma-
| nent improvement and repairs to pro-
perty. AS much as $27S.91 were spent
in building up what fire had destroyed,
and, considering the society's ability to
do this, the year has certainly been a
prosperous one. Compared with other
years, it is exceedingly favorable. With.
in the past three years the assets of the
society have grown from $341 to
$787.34 and they now own property
amounting to 1882. In that time also
S2911.75 have been paid out for prem.
| iums and other minor Improvements
which speaks we'll for the good work
being done the farmers by an organi-
cation. snch as the Brown County Ag-
ricultural. If its success therefore in the
| future is commensurate with it's phe.
nomenai growth in the past, it will be

Postmaster Gerdes was down from
Morgan last Thursday. From him we
learned particulars of a disastrous fire
which destroyed the hotel of our old
acquaintance, M. Kioes. The fire broke
out at o'clock on Sunday morning of
last week, and the guests were only
saved by jumping from the upper win
dows. There was no time to remove
the contents of the building and the
loss will amount to some $4,000 with q
probable insurance Of $4,000. Among
the losers of personal property was
August Berndt, formerly of this city.
Last Sunday afternoon, while the
immense crowd was skating on the
river, two little boys of town were on
the island shooting off revolver. One
of the shots was fired directly over the
ice, but fortunately the ball went high
enough to strike no one. People stand
ing on the opposite bank could hear
the whiz of the bullet, as it passed a
few feet above them, and it was only
through luck that nobody was hurt.
Young boys should leave these weapons
alone. They have no business hand
ling them, and it would do 70 harm to
teach them lesson.

THE SHIFTLESS FARMER.
How He Makes the Trip from PrOsperi-

How He Makes the Trip from PrOsperi-
tyviIIe to Poverty Hollow.
OF course none of our readers come
under the above heading. Neverthe-
less, they may be interested in the fol-
lowing picture, drawn by a contem-
porary:
''The shiftles5 farmer has a lifelong
ambition to gain a reputation for wear
ing a dirty shirt.
He will alarm the neighborhood by
getting up two hours before day and
then sit around and not 90 to work I'M
til after sun-up.
HE will ride around week looking
for twO-dollar hog.
He will complain of hard times,
then tear his pants climbing over a
fence where gate ought to be.
He will pay three dollars for a
new bride, and then let the calf chew
it to pieces before Sunday.
He gets all his neighbors to help
in getting a COW out of the bog, then
let her die from want of attention.
She wilt get in and destroy his crops
at a place in the fence that he has
been putting off fixing for six months
He will sprain his back lifting
something to show how strong he is.
HE will go in his shirt-sleeves on
a cold day to show how much he can
stand, and then return home at night
and occupy two-thirds of the fire
place till bedtime.
HE will ridicule the mechanism of
a corn-planter, then 90 out and smash
his thumb mailing a board on the fence.
"He will go to town on Saturday,
and come home with fifty cents worth
of coffee, paper of pins and a dol
lars worth of chewing tobacco.
HE is economical; economy is his
forte; he will save ten cents worth of
axle grease and ruin the spindle of
seventy-dollar wagon.
He won't subscribe for a news
paper, but will borrow from his friond
and forget to return it."
The Arizona sentinel., 1889-08-03
Value of Summer Mulching.

A great deal of labor in hoeing and
cultivating may be saved by it. The
great objects of cultivation are to keep
down the weeds, and by breaking up
the surface of the earth make a natu-
raj mulch. If these two objects can be
accomplished in an easier way, the
extra labor can be profitably used in
other ways. Try some new methods
this summer and see if much labor can
not be saved. Where lumber is cheap
lay some boards down between some
large plants, tomato plants, for in
stance. Use some straw in the straw
berry beds, among the potatoes or be.
tween the rows of raspberries or cur.
rants, always putting something on the
straw to hold it down so the wind will
not take it away. You will find that
the ground under the mulch will al.
ways be moist, that the vegetation thus
treated will be thrifty, and that with
awberries you will not have the un-
pleasant sensation when eating them
that comes from getting sand instead
of sugar between your teeth. Try it
on a small scale, at least, and see II
you do not like the method. Western
