A GOOD MEMORY.
The American Staggered His Ger
man Challenges.

The American Staggered His Ger
man Challenger.
A story is told by the Kansas City Star Of
a bright young American and several Ger
man officers who at dinner one evening
set out to make him uncomfortable by
chatting him about his country The young
man is Albert H. Washburn, the United
States consular agent at Madgeburg. Henry
L. Merritt, consul at ChemntZ. was the first
one of the Americans attacked, with taunt
from one of the Germans that he could not
give the names Of the presidents of the
United States. Merritt named them over
with some deliberation and drew from his
German friend the declaration that he did
not believe there was another American pres
ent who could do it. aa.
Young Washburn had said nothing until
now, but he broke in and declared: II can
do it,. and I will give. you the. vice presi-
dents" He was about to begin, when a
second thought struck him and he said:
while l am about 1t, l might as we'll give
you the secretaries of state. too" The
Germans got down a book giving the names
and kept tabs on the young man as he
we're pretty we'll backed down already, but
Washburn had no idea of letting them off
SO easily. Now. I should like to- know"
he said, whether any Of you can give the
names of the Prussian rulers from the time
Of Charlemagne and his sons down to the
Emperor Wiiliam?'' = 1aY 20. "t
Not one of them could go half through
the list and they were on the point Of
apologizing to the young Massachusetts,
scholar when he took them down still more
by modestly suggesting: Perhaps, had
better do It for you" He began with
Charlemagne and went through the list
without a break. much to the astonshment
Of his German hosts and the delight of
Consul Edwards, and the other Americans.
"How did you do 1t" asked Merritt. "Oh,
my father had taste for such things and
taught them to me when I was a boy and
you see they are sometimes useful to
know" he repled.

Farmers institute last evening Prof Card OF
the State university read a paper on
Flower Culture" He gave figures Of the
amount OF money invested IN establishments
for the cultivation Of flowers In this country
and the great extent OF the industry. The
paper treated quite a.. length the best
methods Of the care and cultivation OF flower
ing plants so as To secure the best OF results
ms TO flowers and foliage. and was very prac-
ticsl in its nature.
Frank Hibbard Of Arlington read a paper
on Duties Farmers Neglect" This paper
brought out an extended discussion, which
drifted on to the beet sugar question. and a
good many farmers gave their experience and
vented their grievances against the Oxnards.
j. d. Mcdonald. who was to have read the
paper which was TO have been read at the
beet sugar convention, was sick and unable
to be present.
This morning Prof. J. A. Collins spoke on
the subject of Management and Control of
County Schools" He gave n brief statement
OF the condition, needs and necessities OF the
county schools. He thought uniform list OF
text books should be used.
The subject OF poultry was then taken up.
Prof. Mohler read paper on the best breeds
OF poultry. He said that no one breed was
the best for all purposes. He considered the
Leghorns the best for eggs. and the Lang
shans or Cochins the best for the market.
DR.. Peters of the state agricultural exper-
iment station, said that the poultry OF Ne
braska was less subject TO disease than in
many states. There was very good ex-
hibit OF chickens in the hall today, several
coops each of Cochns. Langshans, Plymouth
Rocks, Hamburgs, bantams and many others.
This afternoon the large audience room
was crowded. DR.. Card read a very inter-
esting and instructive paper on Diseases of
Animals" That portion Of 1t in regard to
hog cholera was listened to with marked at
tention. The disease he said was caused by
germ and was very contagious. 1t could
be communicated by a person going from an
infected place to a yard where the hogs
were hsalthy. The disease could be best ar
rested by those having healthy hogs taking
especial care that no germs were carried
among the hogs. He was not prepared to
express an opinion on what is called the
corn stalk disease" majority OF the
farmers present declared by a vote that the
disease was not caused by germ or by a
poison, but by the cattle eating too much
dirty fodder and not having enough water
