AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.
The report of the board of agricul-
ture, transmitted herewith, gives, IN
detail, the operations of that depart
ment for the last two years; and the
attention Of the general assembly is
directed to the recommendations con-
tanned therein. The department has
done some very valuable work since it's
last report to the general assembly.
But it is believed that it's efficiency
would be greatly increased, if the
farmers institute work, in which this
department engages, could be made
to reach a greater number of our farm
ers than a been reached by this
work heretofore. To accomplish this
it would be seen to be necessary TO
supplement the workers now engaged
in 1T by the judicious selection from
year to year of educated and practical
farmers. whose success in their calling
would enable them to speak with au-
thority upon the subjects to be dis
cussed.
It would seem tina special stress
should be placed by the speakers in
these institutes upon the transcendant
Importance of having our farmers to
avail themselves much more largely
than they have heretofore done, of the
advantages offered for a practical ed
ucation of the future agriculturists of
the state in u state college of Agri-
cultural and Mechanic Arts. 1t is GER
tain that agriculture can never thrive
in this state, as it should and can do.
till those who direct the tillage of the
soil are educated in the application of
intelligent and scientific methods.
The state museum, under the control
of this department, is one of the most
extensive and the best arranged insti-
tutions of its kind in the country. 1t is
not only honorable to the men who
have gathered and arranged its speci-
mems and to the state to which it be-
longs. but it would be creditabIe to any
state in the union.

ers OF the two candidates agreed that
the vote Of the county should be divid

in the State convention to get IL all.
The Hardin men had made all kinds oil

ing under instructions from Capt.
Stone himself, who said no alliance
with Hardin would benefit him, every
proposition was rejected, including one
Offering TO let Stone have five votes and
Hardin three, the latter to put up from
$500 to $500. Finding they could dc
nothing with the Stone men, Hardin's
leaders, unaware OF the Goebel-Stone
alliance, proposed to let them have two
votes and Goebel six, which was OF
course rejected for two reasons, be.
cause of the former agreement and be-
cause such an arrangement could In no
event do Goebei any good. The Goe-
bel men lived faithfully up to their con-

had everything their own way. But
for the Hardin boilers, who tried to
pull the wool over the eyes OF certain

thing would have passed of pleasantly
and the rows that resulted would have
been averted. But as long as politics
is hell and some politicians hellians,
such things will always be.
