Minnesota Stale farmers institutes.
supported byaan appropriation for the
purpose, have become so familiar with
the thousands upon thousands of farm.
ers Of the State that it would seem
almost waste of time to refer to the
merits they justly deserve. But there
may be some who have not attended
one of these Institutes, and are moi
fully aware Of the good they are doing
over Minnesota, consequently we here
refer briefly to few of the many fea
lures of the work.
The work aimed at in the institute is
of the most practical character, and
none but those who have had the nee
essary experience are retained as in
structors. O.
The work on the farm will be duly
considered, from the proper tilling Of
soil to the preparation of the crop fol
the market. All the stock on the
farm will receive due attention in the
institute work, by those who will
speak from practical experience
Breeding, feeding care and handling
especially considered in its varied
details.
That Minnesota is yet destined to be
come a practical fruit producing state
there is now no question. This work
at the farmers institute will be repre-
sented by one of great experience.
There is need of all the Information
we can get to prevent the furthe,
spread of hog cholera. Town boards
and health officers are particularly
urged to attend these Institutes for the
good of the communities in which they
exert an influence. :.s.u
