FARMERS INSTITUTE.
[coNTINuED FROM PAGE IL

A duet by Misses Rogers and Muhl-
back was rendered at this juncture
on the zobos.
Miss Matte Muhlback personified
the old married woman in grand style,
'rustic" in its introduction and finish.
Her description of skating costume
and her efforts to learn to skate was
what may justly be called inimitable.
Miss Muhlback fairly brought the
"house down."
The 'hilarity caused by Miss Muhl-
backs recitation was only subdued bv
the presence of DIR. s. r. Howard be-
ing called to the front of the plat
form. The Dr.'s papers treated on
Tuberculosis in Cattle" The sub
ject was treated by the DR.. in his usu
al clear and scientific way. 1t would
be invididious to attempt synopsis
of this paper No doubt such deser-
tation on the disease treated of in the
paper will not escape publication in
some of the scientific papers of the
State. Some of the Df's. conclusions
in regard to the contagion of the dis
ease treated of were quite startling.
"Swine Husbandry" by Mr.. Begg
was now presented to the institute.
The speaker claimed that no man
farmed for fun or past time and for
that reason he insisted that the hog
was simply to be considered as ina
chine" on the farm by which the far
mer was enabled to receive a better
price for his corn by the raising of the
hog.
Miss Berta Ludwick touched up Miss
"Perkins" in fine style, clothes, feath-
ers and manners and tattling and
morals mixed, got many of the audi
ence so amused that they were hardly
able to take in the song, "Bill Of
Fare" SO neatly and pleasantly rem
dered by the New Market quartet.
At this juncture, IL o'clock, the audi
ence were so intent thinking of their
own "bill of fare' that they hardly
absorbed the artistic manner in which
the song was rendered.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The afternoon session was intro
duced by song entitled, "Song to
the Sea-" This, like all that preced-
ed it, as the efforts of the quartet
was fully up to enything given in for
mer sessions.
Prior to the noon reces committee
had been appointed by the President
of the institute, J. D. VanWinkle,
consisting of E. N. Workman, J. w.
Newell and Mrs. J. N. Hogsett, which,
after song, made its report, which
was unanimously adopted. The re-
port was: Pres, J. D. VanWinkle !;
Vice Pres, T. A. Nelson; Sec'y., w.
T. Roush Treas, Noah Roads: Ex-
ecutive Committee, A. w. Willett, c.
c. Muhlback and Evan Good. The fol-
lowing resolution was offered by w. T.
Roush:
Resolved, That we ask our Repre-
sentative in the Ohio Legislature to
support by his vote the bill to make
all wild game the personal property
of the person upon whose premises
the game may be found. This resolu-
tion was adopted without dissent
ing vote.
C. G. Muhlbach at this time COM
manded the attention of the, institute
by succinct talk on "Free Rural
Mail Delivery" This question, as to
such mail delivery, was submitted to
the audience ON vote and was large
ly endorsed.
agricultural Education" was next
talked about, Daniel Williams lead
ing off in a very pleasant and logical
way. Mr.. Williams was at his ease
and it might be said at his best on
this subject. It will be remembered
that Mr.. Williams acted as President
of the Farmers Institute in years
gone by.
Mr.. Williams remarks were follow.
ed by a recitation by Miss Maud
Walker. Her theme was the "Duti-
full and Unditutiful Son." The young
lady acquitted herself with honor and
with pleasure to her audience. Yes,
her effort was so much admired that
Miss Maud was called by a generous
encore, and meintained her former
high standing by reciting "Papa's
Letter."
Miss Walker was followed by a cor.
net and piano duet by Miss Helen and
Stanley Rogers. These young people
contributed to the pleasure of the au
dience, which seemed determined tC
bring them again before the curtain
They again responded to the salts
faction of all.
John Begg, at this juncture, ap.
peared in his last talk to the institute
Mr.. Begg's theme was "Growins
Stock Cattle" In thisreport reference
has so often been made to the ability
of Mr.. Begg that anything further
would seem superiuous. Suffice it tt
say that the State speaker sustained
himself, which is surely saying enough
l.. L. Faris came after Mr.. Begg
On account of his not being on the
platform at the time, his paper wa
called for, but, like the railroad en-
gineer who is a little behind time
