Work Of the Farmers, Institutes,

1t Is encouraging to note the proceed
ings Of farmers Institutes now in prog
ress In many of the States. The wide
range of subjects discussed indicates
indicates appreciation OF the character
of the farmers occupation. One mem
ber speaks of the soil and It's function,
another analyses food, third talks
about schools, a fourth takes up taxa
ton, and so on.
These gatherings, with their social
and intellectual advantages, are excel
lent schools. In them and by them
farmers learn more of the business they
are engaged in, and they learn more
about themselves and their relations to
one another. The women of the house
hold and the children are taught things
they ought TO know, and they go home
wiser and happier. The world is larger
to them, society Is BETTER and there is
less on earth to be afraid Of than ever
before.
Well-Conducted institutes teach their
members to think aloud and speak in
silence. To mingle with our fellows
gives us better opinions Of them; to
listen to them we detect our own errors
and mistakes, and to speak to them
sets us to thinking. No man or woman
can spend day at o farmers institute
without learning something useful and
knowing more about his or her calling.

and good will to men. Not paradise,
but an inViting approach"
Educating the Farmers.

The old-fashioned prejudice against
professional farming is passing away.
Practical farmers find their best help
coming from men and women who have
had the benefit Of training in the
schools, and when one thinks the situa-
tiOn over 1t seems strange that we have
been so long In coming as far as we
have along these lines.
Thirty years ago farmers institutes
had not been heard Of; now they are
popular in all the wide-awake States.
Wisconsin has an officer whose sole
business 1t is to appoint and conduct
institutes in every county in the State
at least once year. Then there is
sort OF round up" in the early spring,
when a synopsis of the seasons work
is prepared for publication. New York
farmers are now in the midst Of an
institute season. This work of educat-
ing the farmer is spreading and doing
good as the field widens.
Kansas needs an awakening on this
subject. The Agricultural college fac
ulty, a good many years ago. began
holding a series of farmers institutes
in places where the people desired
them and one or more of the college
men attended as helpers, and the Gus
tom is still continued. But the institute
idea has not become general in this
State yet. We ought to have a Depart
ment of Agriculture in cnarge of a man
like the present Secretary Coburn, and
require him to inaugurate and main
tain the scheme Of holding at least
one farmers institute every year in
each county.

Have You a gilO9

A silO has come TO be a necessity on
many farms The more they are used,
as general rule, the better they are
liked. The saving Of food is quite as
important as producing 1t, and no way
has yet been discovered equal to siloing
for preserving green fodder and grass.
Some labor is required, of course, In
the construction of a silO, but nothing
good or permanently useful was ever
procured without labor. And labor in
saving what has already been obtained
by hard work is the most valuable Of
all effort. Why raise feed If we do not
take care Of 1t?
A silO we'll constructed and of suR-
flcient size will hold securely and in
good condition for feeding out an inn
mense amount of fodder.
A silo built like a cylinder on end,
twenty-four feet inside diameter and
thirty-four feet high, will hold about
800 tons. If the fodder is cut in short
pieces 1t may be poured into the pit by
carrier. This Is not the usual form,
however, most of them being made rec
tangular.
Two-by-four or two-by-six studding
Is used, standing on solid foundation.
Two layers of boards with paper be-
tween them on each side of the stud
ding will prevent freezing. The bot
tom ought to be cemented and drained.
The top may be made to suit taste and
convenience, but it must keep out air
and frost.

About Pruning Trees.

lndiscriminate pruning Is not wise,
but there Is usually a surplus growth
that, II removed at the proper time and
In proper way, can be prOfltably dis
pensed with.
1t Is never good policy to remove very
large branches, Safety of dwellings
sometimes renders the Topping off Of
tops OF trees growing near, but 1t spoils
the appearance of the trees and starts
them to death
Careful examination of trees from
time to time will reveal the secret of
pruning. The shape of q tree and the
direction Of it's main diversions can be
altered by early and judicious pruning.
Useless twigs ought to be cut away
every year. Spring is the best time for
this work. Use a sharp knife and cut
close the main stem. The base will be
covered before the growing season has
passed.
When 1t becomes necessary to remove
larger limbs, saw is the better tool
to use, because 1t leaves the cut rougher
than knife, and on that account paint
or borax will stick better to the sur
face, thus preventing splits and expos
uTes that start decay. Tests have dem
onstrated that rough surfaces, where
limbs have been severed, do not check
or crack as much as smooth ones and
the cracks heal faster.

Newsy Notes for Farmers.

The Kansas State Horticultural So
ciety meets at Topeka the 2Sth inst,
and will be in session three days.
Nothing seems to be better for cover
ing the wounds made In pruning than
common lead paint; which is closely
followed by grating wax. The wax is
superior to paint in the matter of heal-
ing, but does not last so we'll and is
not 80 convenient to apply, although
in warm weather, when it works we'll,
there is little trouble in this regard.

of that territory, and they have become
serious nuisances. And this suggests
an idea to the New York Times, which
thinks there is some cause for surprise
In the fact that at this late day, even in
Arizona, an animal alien to the coun-
try can resume the habits of his almost
unmeasurably remote ancestors and can
multiply rapidly without care or protec-
tion of any kind.
Secretary Barnes, of the State Horti-
cultural Society, says we ought to grow
80 per cent. of the horticultural products
that we consume in Kansas, and he is
right about 1t; but when he says: "If
our housewives demanded Kansas fruits
and vegetables the Kansas horticultur-
lists would spring to the demand, and
grow better produce and more of it."
we draw the line. Our housewives de-
mand Colorado potatoes, Michigan cell
cry, New York grapes, ETC., only because
our Kansas horticulturists and farmers
have not yet learned how to excel the
foreigner in the production of these
articles.
