large hall in the Realty block has been
secured for the occasion, and the local
committee here propose to spare no
pains to make it q most interesting and

Of the institute will remember that the
sessions were most interesting and the
attendance grew larger each day. 1t is
hoped by tho committee that very
general attendance OF the ranchers from
the country will be secured this year
and that the institute will be the means
OF causing marked increase in the
interest taken in agricultural sub
jec,a 10y the people Of this section of the
stats. Prof. s. M. Emery of the state
agricultural experiment farm connected
with the agricultural college at Bozeman,
will be here, and will give the institute
the benefit of his experience in many

tried during the past year. The agricul
tural college is one ct the best managed
and most valuable institutions in the
state, and tho farmers of this locality
cannot afford to miss the opportunity
which will be presented at this institute
to learn something about it's practical
work.
Arrangements are now being made to
have several we'll known gentlemen read
papers Of interest on irrigation, wheat
raising, bench land farming, dairying,
fruit growing, stock feeding and kindred
subjects.
Cascade county has the honor of being
one of the first counties in the state to
make an organized effort to bring the
farmers together for mutual exchange Of
ideas and the advancement OF scientific
methods in farming, and great deal of
good in that line has already been &C.
complished. The committee hopes that
the coming institute will be the most
successful meeting in the interest OF
agriculture yet held in the county.
