The Farmers Institute Grand Success.
| The Institute opened Tuesday morn
ing sharp at 10 o'clock A. M. Farmers
with their wives and children came in
from all the adjoining country. The
snow storm Tuesday did not injure the
attendance. The court house hall was
filled to Overlooking, through every ses-
sion of both days. It was a session full
of practical instruction from practical
men. Many of our best farmers were
in attendance, and claim that they
we're benefited by the lectures and
illustrations. Supt. O. G. Gregg, w.
A. Henderson, Dr.. NJ. II. Reynolds,
Theo Louis and VIM. Somerville were
the instructors. The five men make
one of the best quintettes for the work
in hand that could have been selected.
They are not Horace Greeley farmers,
but plain, practical men, who have
titled the soil and reared stock for
years, so that they know whereof they
speak, at least such is the case with
two of the instructors, and the others
are specially fitted by medical training
to represent their part of the work.
The Annual No. given away to
the farmers is q good work, replete
with scientific methods, on all the es-
sential things necessary TO successful
! farming and proper stock breeding and
raising.
Mr.. Burgan had charge Of the sing
ing. It is the universal expression OF
everybody that the music furnished by
the coterie of singers under Mr.. Bur.
gan's management was very appropri'
l.
:. work left last evening for Rush City
where they hold a two days session
We close by saying that farmers in
stitutes and gatherings are just as es
sential to the growth and prosperity O.
} stock interests and agricultural inter
ests as in any other calling, and every
dollar expended, to place farming il
!, its proper plane; is spent for the bes
interests of the commonwealth.
