that within a radius of five or six miles
of this: city there were four or five
thousand head of cattle, and there
should be some place for the product.
Creamery.o organic ton was the scheme
he urged. His experience proved the
fact that cow producing less than
5000 pounds of milk per year, was
profit ess, and did not pay to keep
her. Speaking of feeding COWS In
this section, MIR. Oheesman said that
the farmers already had the most in
viting feeding In crimson clover, which
Is round here In very remarkably large
! quantities.
In forming a creamery organizat! !op,
the speaker would not advise the erec.
tion of a creamery unless there were
at least 800 COWS represented. Do not
erect building and put In plant at
cost to exceed $2500 or $4,000. Such an
organization wou d command the re-
spect of the market. He said that the
butter made for the Philadelphia mar
ktt, was very much better than the
product made for the markets of Bos-
ton. This was an indication of the ST.
perior grade of cattle In this locality.
After the completion of the address,
very many questions were asked by
those in the audience, and answered
by Mr.. Cheesman. Very much useful
information was cleaned In this man
| ner.
John Fl. Denise, of Freehold, N. J.,
brother of Assemblyman Denise, of
Monmouth County, was the next
speaker, and he announced bis subject
as 1.-THE A. B. G. of Hay Culture" He
said that he would confine himself al
most wholly to his own experience.
The State Secretary introduced the
speaker as the champion has grower
of the State, and Mr.. Denise, himself
admit t I'd that he had been reasonably
successful In grass culture, He de-
clared that grass culture was to the
farm what mortar was to brick struc-
ture. Mr.. Denise said that grass would
not grow among weeks. He believed
that 1t re quired attention. He wanted
fe1 1tllization and made the ground &C.
ceptable to the best seed, which he al
ways used. He paid every at >envion
to the culture of grass, and by his
labor and attention he had little
trouble In getting good stand of
grass. He read from a carefully pre-
pared paper, and the farmers listened
to him with every attention. He gave
much excellent advice and it was very
evident that what the speaker said was
| greatly appreciated by those who
| heard him.
He continually answered questions
which were asked him during the pre-
sentation of his subj sct.
The afternoon session adjourned
shortly after five o'clock.
EVENING SESSION.
The Instituts was entertained at
night with an int erestipg lecture on
bugs, worms and moths by Prof. John
| B. SmiGb.
Prof. Smith is a clear, perspicuous
lecturer, but Is painful to listen t..
He uses forty words to say what ought
to be expressed with ten words, and
he punctuates every sentence with so
many grunts that it Is agonlzing. He
says something like this: "The-er
breathing-er apparatus of the-er bugs
and-er fl ies are situated under the.er
shell at-er the sides and under the-er
wings. A.er crustaceous insect has
no-er heart"
| His lecture was illus rated by a

vas arranged across the end of the
middle aisle of the Court House.
The first pict nre shown was that of
a crustaceous insect of the bug charac-
ter. In this the pulmonate system of
insects was illustrated and described.
Insects of this kind have no lungs.
They have openings to tnbes on each
side, nnder the wings; in these the air
enters, and circulates through tubes
which ramify beneath the shell to all
parts of their structure and through
the wings and legs. This Is all the
breathing such insects do. This illus
tration was to show the means OF de
stroying these pests. They are to be
suffocat 3D.; the trees and plants
which they infest must be sprinkled
with a powder SO fine as to be inhaled
In these air tubes and choke them to
death.
Among the things which may be
used for this purpose is very finely
powdered tobacco, Paris green and
