to ascertain the 1892 acreage and yield
of all kinds of grain and hay raised by
each man assessed; also the number

a great help to the assessor and reduce

ly longing for spring. While in Greeley
township one of the recent cold days
when the mercury registered twenty
below, one horse stepped off the track,
beaten by many hoofs into a turnpike,
and floundered helplessly in the drifts.
The Doctor did the one thing left to do
--waded out in the billowy beautiful to
the relief of his faithful animal, which
task was made more grievous by the
fact that he had to dOff his great coat

but was so badly injured by the shoe

a week. When the Doctor reads pa.

\ line from Mr.. John 0. Cotton, of
Oakiield, secretary of the committee on
arrangements for the Farmers Insti-
tute, asks us to state that the first ses-
sion will be held early in February and
that arrangements are nearly perfected.
The announcement of dates will be
made as soon as negotiations are con-
summated between the committee and
a prominent agriculturist from eastern
Iowa, who is recommended as the best
man in Iowa in institute work. An
interesting program, embracing all de-
partments of farming, has been prepar-
ed. No farmer can afford to miss the
institute, where he will meet those with
whom he has a common interest. Mr..
Cotton as secretary of this committe
has been very active, showing deep
and intelligent interest in the work.
Much of the success of the institute
must be attributed to his good will and
energy.

foot Of the board of supervisors table,
qCotes him as saying. in speaking of
one liable to become county charge,
:" | would rather give him work and let
him earn his support than take m oney
from the county treasury to feed him"
This will be readily accepted as the ut
terance of a patriot actuated by a pur-
pose to relieve his fellowmen of bur
densome taxation. All we can do un-
der the circumstances is to suggest to
the heroic soul the availability of doz-
en- or more robust individuals whose
home and habitation is the poor house,
one mile south of Audubon. Here the
supervisor will find laborers, kitchen
girls, etc, in plenty. In fact he can
procure almost any help desired, and at
the same time fulfill his lofty purpose.
It's good idea and we are glad to be
able to give the supervisor this plain
and simple direction, and to congratu-
late the county upon the prospect.
A sorry spectacle was presented in
Justice Funk's court Tuesday evening,
when eight boys ranging from fourteen
