Attend the Institute.

"A Farmers Institute Will be held at
| West Superior June 10. Be sure and
attend as many sessions as possible.
Bring your wife, sons and daughters,
| and urge your neighbors to attend.
Local pride demands that we make
the coming Farmers Institute grand
success.
Let our Institut be characterized as
| the best of the season.
An exchange of experience be-
tween farmers is always valuable. At
the Institute hundreds avail themselves
of each others experience.
-"As iron sharpens iron. so a man
sharpens the countenance of his
friend" Therefore be sure to meet
your friends at the Farmers Institute.
Come to the institute with questions
ready to ask, the answer of which will
be of value both to yourself and neigh
bors
Boys come to the Institute and get
experience and information free, that
cost your father years of toll to gather.
-Supt. Mckerrow assures us thai a
large number of Bulletin No s, as well
as Dairy and Horticultural reports will
be distributed free at the Farmers
Institute.
The business men of lola, Waupaca
county, offered $50 worth of prizes for
the best farm products at their Farm
Institute, and both the exhibits and
the Institute was an immense success.
"A. J. Decker of Fon du Lac writes:
THE Institute at Denmark, Manitowoc
Co., was one of the best | have ever at
tended l think the institutes are
better than ever before"
-Thos. COnver reports from New
London, Waupaca Co., THE best
agricultural display have ever seen at
an Institute"
-Supt. McKerrow writes that the
Farmers Institutes were never better
attended, nor more successful than this
season. Do not let our meeting be an
exception.
The Farmers Institutes are dis
tinctly farmers institution. Their
value and usefulness depends upon the
farmers attendance and what use the
farmers make of them.
We are often told that farmers
work too hard and do not devote enough
time to enjoyment. Why not take
couple of days off and bring your family
to the Institute? You will have a pleas
ant and profitable time.
DO not come to the Institute alone
but bring your wife and children with
you. If all cannot attend do not keep
the boys at home, but stay home one
day yourself to do the chores and let
them attend.
Many of our best thoughts come to
us stimulated by some remark dropped
by others. The purpose of the Insti
tute is to stimulate thought. We may
not get direct help from our Institute
but something said there may perhaps
set US to thinking along line of high
value.
Wisconsin was the first state in the
Union TO make a movement providing
definitely for Farmers Institutes, and
from the start she has been a leader.
Her example has been followed by New
York, Minnesota and several other
states.
A. ]. Empey of Milladore, Wood
Co. writes: 81 write at this late date to
thank you for helping us get the Insti-
tute here. We had a good meeting and
| think good results will spring from
it. The farmers are beginning to think,
talk, and act, ever since the IL citing
Our Legislature wisely placed the
control of the Institutes with our State
University thus recognizing that they
are distinctly educational.
AT the recent Institute at Beaver
Dam chart was exhibited which at
tracted much attention. This chart
was about X tin size with square
in the center representing the city of
Beaver Dam. Around this was a great
circle representing radius of ten miles
and within this circle were pictured 81
creameries placed on the chart as they
are scattered over the country about
Beaver Dam. The chart bore the fol-
lowing legend: when the first Farm
ers' Institute was held in Beaver Dam,
seven years ago, there was not a cream
cry in the country. Now there are 81
within the radius of ten miles of this
city. These creamerles pay out 500, 900
annually for milk" AS might be ex-
pected this chart attracted much at
tention, and shOwes how Wisconsin is
forcing ahead as a dairy state.
