Afternoon Session,

Re-assembling at 1.30 the query box
was taken up and a half hour devoted
by the two lecturersin answering ques-
tions propounded by farmers touching
on this'an tnat branch of the business.
AS ON similar occasions this part of the
program was highly interesting being
at times amusing and then again in
structive. The lecturers answered all
questions with promptness and pre-
cision that showed them to be not only
men of education, of vast research but
practical farmers as well.
"A Merry Farmer Boy" was the vo-
cal selection rendered by the quartet
and Prof. Shawver gave most in
teresting treatise on 'The General Care
and Management of Cows and Making
Butter" This branch of farming has
been demonstrated by actual practice
at the home of every farmer to be most
paying, that is, provided the farmer
understand his business and, in COM
mon parlance, minds his P's and Q's.
Great care should be taken in selecting
the breed of cows, the better the grade,
of course, the richer butter and larger
returns. Butter is one of the most
staple articles and a market rarely is
hard to find for a good grade. The far
mer is wholly protected from the on
slaughs of the spurious article, oleo.
margarine, by legislative enactments
which are rigidly enforced by the Dairy
and Food Commissioner and his assist
ants. Then there is no reason why
every farmer should not make butter
raising one of the valuable strings tC
his purse. The Professor also talked
for some time on the care of cows both
as means of financial returns and
from humane standpoint.
! He thought dehorning of cattle
commendable practice; also that COW.
from the dairy must be fed on untainteG
food, and sheltered not only in winter
but in summer during the heated tern
when flies are up to their worst. Pure
water and plenty of salt are essential a
all times. He recommended the use
of roots in winter in addition to corn
meal and linseed oil meal. He consid
cred the dairy at some length and pre-
ferred the Jersey COW.
| Prof. Guyer favored the audience
with an instrumental selection on the
piano, which highly pleased all anc
established for the Professor no little
prestige as a master of music.
"Wheat: How to Grow and wher
to Sell it," was the caption of lecture
by DIR. Chamberlain which increased
the farmers already high regard of the
Doctors worth as lecturer and farm
er. He is a farmer who not only knows
how to farm but is blessed with intel
lect by which his vast experience il

Evening Session.

After song by the quartet, Prof.
Shaver talked on "The Farmers Lii
brary." Should the dictation of the
Professor be followed to the letter
there need be no doubt as to the
ability of the farmer to possess a
well regulated library and thus expe-
rience no trouble in keeping apace with
the times. AS is too often the case the
farmers library" is an unknown guam
tity. OF course this proposition has
many exceptions, not a few farm
homes being filled with choice books
in standard literature and which are
we'll thumbed with much reading by
the entire family. But such cases are
the exceptions and not the rule. Out
side of school books, Bible, Pilgrims
Progress and several other we'll known
works, besides newspapers, our farm
homes have few other works. Neither
is this condition Of necessity, but
rather an oversight. By . systematic
and judicious purchase Of books very
little time will elapse before good
sized library will be noticed. And
parents need not be doubtful touching
on the children's perusal of the works.
On the farm, during the long winter
evenings, time must necessarily hang
heavily on the hands of all. Then what
is more useful in turning this time to
good account than good library as q
fountain of knowledge-the "Pyerian
Spring. of which the poet is wont to
sing! .-...

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
The day was all that could be desir-
ed to insure large crowd, being Sat-
urday, the roads in most excellent con-
dition and weather moderate. Prompt
ly at 10 o'clock the audience room of
the Rink contained good crowd, and
operations began with music by Prof.
Guyer. Prayer by Rev. M. L. Donahey
was followed by DR.. Chamberlain in
his lecture "Orchards in Ohio.".
He favored orchards because they
furnish good money crop and are not
very expensive to keep in repair when
once fully gotten in operation. In
looking over the field of the farm pro-
ducts he could see none other for which
there is greater demand than apples
good winter apples. The market for
them is not merely local one; it is
worldwide, end being such, the farm
er need not be confined to the prices
of a local market. This fact remains
whole with all products ol like nature.
For instance, the Doctor said he had
au extensive maple syrup factory on
his farm and should he be content
with furnishing syrup for local market
alone, he would be in luck to secure 6Oc
per gallon. But he shipped it and had
no trouble to secure $l.10 for each gal
lon. He gave the apple raising coun'
try In the United States as consisting
of the Middle States, Massachusetts,
Connecticut and part of Iowa, Missouri
and Kansas. With such limited area
from which to supply the entire world
it is no wonder that the apple market
is rarely over supplied. He favored

PETERS, ILL, Jan. 81 1892.
Dear Father:-It is now more than a
week since arrived on the frontier; and L
have been busy trying to find "where / am
at"
The fellow the Company sent down here
got away with everything movable except,
the wash basin and comb and my.last years
straw hat. The wash basin and comb were
articles of luxury that he had never seen
and did n'tknow how to use them. They
are never used mere unless we have COM
pany from the east. / lam mighty glad he
left the straw hat for it's been fSarfully
cold here for week and have use for it
every day.
1t Is Sunday and the day comes here on
about the same date as it does in Ohio. 1
know it is Sunday because loohsd 'at the
calendar, and besides the saloon keeper has
rolled out s empty kegs inside of an hour,
and that's sign that never falls,
One of our most prominent citizsns died
yesterday. The circumstances surround
ing his demise are very sad. He,shad been
out with the boys for few days and
nights and felt in need of sleep. lie pulled
of his boots and took dose of Peters
whiskey of the brand known as. E'The Illi-
nois Search Warrant" The name is prob
ably suggested from the fact that it will
melt the heart of divorce lawyer at 40 pa
ces. He took about half a gallon and it
did the work-he is still sleeping, and the
coroner who sat on the case called it acci-
dental drowning. We never would have
known anything of it had it mot been for
the coroner's jury. We had always sup
posed that Mart could stand an adult dose
without finching, and the idea that he
should die with his boots off, like down
east dude, has given us feasfsl set-Sack.
The citizens look at each other and say,
"What next ?" The Mayor and I held a
mass meeting this morning and unani-
mously decided that the matter must be
kept quiet, for if it should spread in the
east, 1t would stop immigration, as there Is
no satisfaction in coming Wess to die if a
man can't leave his boots on.

you get them. My girl is collecting all the

Prof. w. T. Chapman was next called
and read most interesting sffusion on
the "Value of Reading" The Professor
is a scholar and his production showed
it. Written with an elegance in die
tion and style and delivered in a high
ly praiseworthy manner, he held the
large audience for nearly an hour.
This is an age, he said, in which we
can gain unlimited knowledge. In the
making of books there is no end. Every
class can find time for literary improve
ment, yet, he thought in scores of
houses not book or paper can be
found. He greatly deplored this con-
dition at time when many books may
be purchased at cents, and he cited
where even SO renowned volume as
Pilgrims Progress costs but 1c. But
while an absence of literature from a
household, the Professor held, is bad
enough, the presence of cheap and
trashy literature is worse. It most
pronounced language he condemned
the dime novel and all other fiashy
literature as most demoraliMng and
importuned all parents and guardians
to take decisive steps in eradicating
such stuff from the home. He described
the most Of these novels as yelled with
"veneering of decency."
Mrs. Stevens followed with an essay
on "Progression," in which she led her
hearers in we'll proportion terraces
from the beginning of the worlds
history, in both sacred and profane ac-
counts, down to the present day mark
ing each stage in progress. She ended
with a temperance lecture and short
sermon. ....
This being the completion of the
program, President Hollopeter made

journed.

Last Session.,

At the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion the Presiden talked on member

was large, there was plenty room for
more, He therefore appointed ]. G.

of Ridgeville, to solicit new members.

ed the unanimous choice of the COM
mittee to be: President, Asa Center;
Vice President, B. F. Pontious; Secre-
tary, w. T. Chapman; Treasurer, M.
]. Grimes; Executive Committee, J. G.
Davis, D. A. Fauver. M. Crockett and
the officers of the institute. The re-
port was adopted.
Committee on Resolutions made a
report which was submitted by the
secretary. 1t read:
I.-That our members in Congress
be urged to use their utmost efforts to
secure the passage of the Hatch Wash
burn Anti-Option bill.
II.-That our Representative and
Senators in the State Legislature be
urged to use all proper and legitimate
means to prevent the repeal or modifi-
cation of the Rawlings bill.
IIE-That we heartily appreciate
the instruction given by DR.. Chamber
lain and Professor Shaver, consider
ing their work we'll done; and that our
sincere thanks are due to the citizens
of Napoleon for interest manifested.
DIR. Chamberlain explained the Anti
option bill as having passed the House
and to be in the hands of the Senate;
it to be measure making it penal
offense to gamble in grain. Also. fol
the benefit of a few, he explained the
Rawlings bill, which is now law and
showed how by the repeal millions o.
dollars in manufactured products
would escape taxation. ......
The resolutions were adopted.
After much discussion, Liberty Cen
ter and Napoleon were fixed as the two
places at which to hold the next two
institutes-th one in December, tn,
other in February, exact date to be
fixed by Executive Committee.
The Executive Committee was or
dered to meet at the Probate Cour
room January 10th. This closed tn,
business portion and lecture entitled
"Mixed Farming" by DR.. Chamber
lain was announced.
He thought In olden times wher
transportation facilities were meagre
was necessary for q farmer to rails
everything necessary to his subsist
ance; that it was different now, ant
that while indulging too much in spe
cialties often cramps the intellect il
manufacturing, in farming such coul'
not be said. Still he advocated mike,

not 200 much: nor not enough. Fl
then gave word picture of the radi
cal mixed farmer, who dabbled il
everything even down to Bohemia
oats, and whose work was always chas
ing him.
He gave four precepts for farming
as follows:
I.-Successful farming must combin
crop raising with cattle raising.
IT.--Rotation of crops must be g
arranged as to furnish work all th
year.
III.-Not so much mixed farming
to multiply machinery.
. IV.-Farmer must confine himself

means.
