FARMERS INSTITUTES.

The following circular letter from
President Hartzog, of Clemson Col.
lege, is placed before our readers with
great deal of pleasure
Farmers Institutes will be held in
q limited number of counties this
summer for the instruction of the
people in various branches of agri-
cultural science. The course of lee.
tures shall be arranged to present to
those in attendance the results of the
most recent Investigations i'll theo
retical and practical agriculture, end
as far as possible to make the subjects
discussed meet the special needs of
the locality where the institute is
held.
All expenses of the meeting will be
met by the college. The community
in which the institute is held is ex.
pected to furnish a suitable place for
the speaking, to advertise the meeting
and to arrange the minor details 1t
is desirable that local speakers and
writer's assist in the exercises of the
institutes by discussing subjects in
which they are most interested, or in
which they have had successful ex-
perience
It may not be practicable always to
hold the ;nstitutes On the day desired
By the community, as different places
sometimes ask for the same date.
The final selection of the date must,
therefore. be left to the college au-
tborities. but the wishes of the COM
munity will be observed as fa2 as
practicable
1t is the policy of the college to
Iengthen, when desirable, the ses-
sioss Of the Institutes We realize
that the best results cannot be OBJ
taiued from one day meeting The
scope and character of the work
should be broadened year after year
Where sufficient interest is mani
fes.ed the institute will be conducted
for a longer period than one day
This work will begin about the first
of August, and applications should be
sent in at once. Specify the time
and place. and tbe names ofths gen
tlemen who are willing to serve on
the local committee
The subjects discussed at the insti-
tu.es should be adapted to local con-
ditions. We therefore ask those in
terested to designate the subjects that
are believed to be of the most interest
to the locality.
Among the subjects that the mem
ters Of the institute staff are prepared
to discuss may be mentioned: I'm.
p5ovement of sol, grasses and le.
gumes, horticulture, plant diseases,
botany. entomology, insects and in
secticides, methods of spraying,
dairying. animal brsbandry, farm ma
nures. veterinary science, fertilizers,
chemistry of soils. truck farming,
drinking waters, road improvement,
industrla! education.
After the county institutes, an in-
stitute lasting one week will be held
at Clemson College. Board acc lodg
ing will be furnished at cost.
Distinguished lecturers from abroad
will be invited to assis; 10 the College
institute, and every ef,,t will be ex,
erted to make this meeting pleasant
and profitable.
The Auxiliary Experiment station
clubs are earnestly invited to CO.
operate by sending deiegstss
The date aud program will be duly
advertised

EDITOR HERALD Those best posted
in all matters pertaining to the sanitary
condition Of this city, warn us that the
imperfect sewerage of the city is sure to
bring in the near future the calamity Of
pestilence. There is a demand among
tho soundest thinking Of our taxpayers
for something to be done before the hot
season comes on. 1t is proposed to raise
dray and saloon licenses, the latter to at
least $1,000, and devote the proceeds as
much rs possible to the sewerage pur-
pose. This is the most reasonable Of all
the propositions l have heard discussed.
No class OF men handle as much money
in day, and make SO large profit on
the capital invested, as the saloon keep
ers. The present license figure is entirely
too low. There is not a town of the size
and business activity Of Aberdeen any
where in western Washington where the
license figure is $500 or about 80 cents a
day. The business is thriving, the pro-
ceeds are large, and much the larger por-
ton is clear profit. Therefore the writer
Of these lines would urge upon the coun-
Gil the necessity of putting our sewers
and sidewalks in shape for summer.

MRS. NELLIE BOONE FRAZER

Wild woods, and at her present ad-
vanced age would gladly 90 to some
new country where civilization has not
yet conquered natures primitive soil
tude.
Ms. Frazer was born a few months
after her grandfather. Daniel Boone,
died, but she has a most complete ira
ditional history Of the old hunter and
could today write thrilling sketch Of
the hero of the dark and bloody
ground" for her powers Of description
are excellent An older brother was
the especial pet of the noted hunter in
his last days, and Mrs. Frazer heard
from this member Of the family many
stories Of Daniel Boone.
Long after the Kentucky woods had
become too tame for the restless spirit
Of Boone, and he had sought a home
farther west on the Missouri river, the
old man continued to hunt deer and
other big game. When he was too fee
BILE to go far from his pioneer cabin the
hunter would take his little grandson,
Mrs. Frazer's brother, on his back and
wander around near the homestead In
search OF deer. The child was de-
lighted with those hunts, and felt that
the yenison thus secured was as much
his trophy as the old grendfather's.
Boone could see to shoot to the last,
and retained all Of his faculties to the
hour Of death.
Mrs. Frazer says that her grand
father was q firm believer In dreams,
and tells q singular circumstance in
connection with the hunters career in
Kentucky which led the pioneer to at
tach much Importance to the sugges-
lions that came TO him In sleep. In
sne of his explorations in the wilder
ness of Kentucky Boone lost eompan-
ion. They had separated one day while
hunting, and at night the man did not
return to the place selected in the
morning for their camp. The hunter
supposed at first that his associate had
pursued game too far for his return
that night, or that the man had got
lost in the psthless forest The next
morning Boone began 10 nunt Ior the
missing man, and searched the woods
hour after hour without finding any
trace of his friend. Finally. coming to
the conclusion that the man had been
killed By Indians, or become the prey
Of some wild beast. Boone left that part
of the country and went back to the
settlement. But he could never en-
tirsly give up the thought Of finding
some trace Of the lost hunter. II
weighed upon hts mind with strange
persistence.
Several years after the disappearance
Of the hunter, Boone went back to the
woods whers he had parted from his
friend. That night while sleeping at
his camp IRE he dreamed Of finding .
human skeleton and gun In big hol-
low tree. The dream was 30 vivid that
