on the programme before the county
farmers institute held at thu town

mated discussion. The general opin.
ion was that seeding to clover formed

lutte necessity to continued fertility

done on the sod without regard to
the season of the year.

the most interesting question on the
program, "Sourccs of Profit on the
Farm" was discussed at great
length, and by large number OF
speakers, and fund Of Information
valuable to all classes of farmers
alike. and the instruction given BIZ
practical farmers would alone have
well paid the agriculturist to have
spent the time, had there not been
another session held. In the after.
noon, spraying Fruit Trees" and
Corn Culture" were talked on, and
4 committee was appointed to cxper-
iment with the spraying of all kinds
of fruit and vines. and report at the
first meeting Of the institute next
year.
An Instance Cited.
Ono instance of the value of spray.
ing n plum tree, one-half being
sprayed and the other half not, the
result was the part sprayed had q
good crop OF plums. the other part
not one.

A bold attempt was made about 9
O'Clock this morning to rob the Jew
eiry store of nj. +. Nabstedt, 4OG
West Second street, Davenport, but
the burglars were foiled: first, be-
cause of the great noise they made,
and secondly. because OF the sweet
soprano screams of two women living
upstairs over the store. The women
say that at about 2 o'clock they
heard something strike window.
and the crash of broken glass. and
suspecting that an attempt was be-
ing made to rob the store, of course.
the women screamed. Evidently,
this frightened the men, for they de-
sisted. leaving only great large

pathway.
