Innovation, although the experiment had
been made with satisfactory results in
several Of the other counties in the state.
The county superintendent has been CIV
ing considerable study to the subject and
proposes to look into the practical work

merely threw out the suggestion that it
might be taken into the homes of the
country and there discussed.
There was musical selection followed
by paper on Fruit Culture" BY Y. &.
Fluke and one on Small Fruit by Eli
Corbin, both of which were entertain
ingly discussed and thus concluded the
afternoon session.
The subject of permanent roads was
brought up and discussed at length, the
drift Of the opinion being that the perma>

be considered at the present time.
A suggestion was made that if the |
Farmers institute was allied to the |
Farmers Alliance or F. NJ B. 4. it !
would be more of a success, but such al |
idea did not meet with the sppreba ticn |
of the prevailing sentiment of the insti- |

No other practical knowledge Is Of

able to sell at least ten tons of hay,
which would, without the fodder, all
have been fed out on the farm. Good
bright straw can be used to winter
horses and cattle; they will eat IL well
and thrive on it, but it is best that, in
stead of corn, the grain ration be bran
and oil meal; these balance the ration
and enable the animal T. digest the
straw much better than il il is fed
with corn, for the straw is deficient In
albuminoids, and the bran and oil
meal are both rich in this essential ele-

thousand dollars or thereabouts, pro-
