place: 1.-THE state farmers institute

ing, dairying, etc. Two days spent
in attendance at a farmers institute
may result in the adoption of methods
the value of which cannot be esti-
mated. At the farmers institute you
will meet those who have travelled the
rough and rocky road of experience,
and they will try to aid you in avoid
ing some Of the many difficulties
they had to encounter.
Thousands and thousands of dol
lars are annually lost in Minnesota
to the masses, by not knowing the
practical methods of the most sue
cessful farmers. The practical OK
periences of the successful farmers
make splendid "guid boards" to all
others, when headed. All methods
that have proven failures should be
set up as danger signals" to prevent
others from falling into the same
errors. Very expensive experiences
and experiments whether success
or failure) may be given to us for
nothing, but too often we fail to ap-
preciate the most valuable gifts, and
travel the same road for ourselves.
IAN ounce of prevention is we'll worth
a pound of cure" Lessons in the
school of experience are very valua-
BILE, but they often cost too much.
What profit we can get by the expert
ences of others is just that much
clear gain. The practical experiences
of just one individual (wlen KNOWN
may be of inestimable value to the
whole country; while the glowing
theories of another (not practically
demonstrated) may be the means of
great damage.
The State Farmers Institute is our
travelling school of agriculture,
which brings to our very doors the
experiences, means and methods of
the best known practical results. 1t
