Daughters for 20 Miles Around
Should Attend-A Valuable
Book Given Away to Every
One Present at the First
Forenoon Session.
Next Tuesday and Wednesday,
the first real genuine Farmers In
stitute will be held in Princeton.
A corps of practical men-men who
know whereof they speak-wlll be
present at every session and discuss
and explain matters of interest to
farmers in a plain common-sense
manner. In short, the Institute is
a school for farmers, their wives
and daughters. A valuable book
will be given away at the first fore
noon session. Farmers, don't be
behind hand and lose the oppor-
tunity of getting a grand book
adapted to your business when it
costs you only the coming after it.
There is only a limited number for
the State. First come first served.
Mr.. @. H. Chadbourne has perused
the book, and here is what he says
of it:
I have carefully looked through
Annual No. g., which is to be dis
tributed at the Farmers Institute
to be held here. It is almost a
complete cyclopedia for farmers.
1t is worth IS a copy to any one
who has any ambition to keep up
with the procession.
Supt. O. G.. Gregg will be pre-
pared to outline to the farmers and
others interested, the proper form
of a good dairy COW, and show by
large drawings how to know her
when you see her. Put him to the
test with the living animal and you
will see just how he knows.
DR.. Dickson will show the peo-
pie how to treat wire fence cuts on
stock with the best possible results.
So long as we have barbed wire
fences we are bound to have
wounded animals. The State sends
DR.. Dickson to help you help your
selves, and it is your own fault if
you fail to get his information while
here in your midst. DR.. Dickson
is the man of all others who has
been selected by our national gov
eminent at Washington, to write
on the subject Of horse-shoeing, in
a work being distributed gratui-
tously to every HORSEPOWER in this
country. He should be recognized
as authority at Princeton. Black
smiths as we'll as farmers are inter-
ested in this subject. The doctor
is also an authority on diseases of
horses. He is a graduate of a
famous veterinary school in Scot
land. The few simple princip pies
that he will outline may save many
valuable horses in our locality.
Farmers interested in sheep-rais-
ing should not miss the opportun-
ity of hearing Prof. VIM. Moore,
it they want to learn about mutton,
wool, breeding and feeding this
profitable and economic animal.
Mr.. VIM. Summmervl]le will
tell US all about our trees, schrubs,
plants, and fruits of all kinds. He
will impart information that will
be of value to every farmer and
gardener.
Inc institute household DEPART
ment conducted by Mrs. w. M.
Hayes, where she will show the
ladies OF Princeton and vicinity the
Importance of selecting food
Alright; the materials for good food;
good cooking. She saws. we
should know principles rather than
receipts; we should discard the
errors, as these delay progress.
Cooking is reduced to a system
and there is economy in knowing
how. Fine bread, the foundation
of good meals; Importance of good
yeast and how to prepare it; value
OF an earthen bowl, use of an
earthen spoon; difference in flour.
Baking; the bread pan; care of the
oven; quality of bread increased
