THURSDAYS PROCEEDINGS.

The morning exercises opened with
an invocation by Rev. II. o. Pratt
Hon. j. r. Sage, of Des Moines, Di-
rector of Weather Bureau, gave short
talk on Mutual insurance and strongly
advocated grounding wire every few
rods on all barb wire fences, because
80 per cent of all the cattle killed by
lightning were killed by being in di.
rect contact with wire fences during
electrical storms.
John Georgeon, of Rockville, and
Hon. b. p. Norton, State Dairy Com
missioner, discussed Dual Purpose Cat
tile and contributed several interesting
ideas in their short talks. Itwas agreed
that 1t was more profitable to feed q
dairy COW than beef animal, because
the feed that it takes to make one
pound of fat will make several of milk
and butter and the latter bring much
higher prices.
Miss Anna Clark, of Lamont, next
reclted very pleasing recitation.
j. r. Sage spoke on Iowa Soil and
Climate. He said that the English Ian
guage was lacking to describe Iowa's
soil and its resources. The only means
of arriving at any conclusion is by
comparison with other states. The
soil is marvellous. Iowa is situated in
great trough between the Rocky
Mountains on the west and the Allie
ghanys on the east Both ends were
open, Hudson bay on the north and the
Gulf Of Mexico on the south. Iowa
is situated in the very heart of this
great territory and the soil first started
in the geological ages, when great
glaciers moved over this trough and
ground rocks into a fine powder. This
is where the soil got its start and has
been improved for ages by receiving
decayed vegetation. The speaker said
that statistics proved the fact that
Iowa soil produced more in cash value
than all of the gold and silver mines in
the world combined. The soil is pre-
served by dry weather and the reason
Iowa has such good land is on account
of the fact that it has a balanced
amount of rainfall. Recommended that
a severe drouth was good for land and
that it was always more productive
after long dry periods.
James Bishop next read a paper on
Does it Pay to Shred or Cut Corn Fod-
der for Stock with the present Price of
Hay and Grain.

G. w. Long, of Delaware, read the
following interesting paper on the Ad-
vanced Farming from knowledge
Gained at Our Institutes:
q. w. Longs Paper.
AS an educator, what can compaen
with our Farmers Institutes? Humra
knowledge is very limited and must
be obtained, as a rule, by observation
and experience, obtained by slow
progress and by each individual, but
in our Institutes we have been able to
combine and apply the knowledge of
| large numbers of live, wide-awake,
| fully given in plain, comprehensive,
but easy lessons. the results of their
experience from time to time Meth
DDS and means employed have been
| recited and successes and failures have
been honestly given and thus the
needed lessons of chow to do" and
how not to do" have been very i'm
pressively taught at every session of
our Institutes and the most ordinary
observer cannot fail to see that the
teachings have produced good and
lasting results.
Many young farmers and their
wives have attended the meetings of
our Institutes with note book and pen
ell constantly in hand, and the valu-
able and what appeared to them prac-
teal features of the discussion were
noted down for future reference.
How to prepare the land, how to
pillow, how to plant, how to cultivate,
how to gather crops, and how best to
feed out or market the crop, and
many, very many other subjects were
duly noted down during the sessions
of the Institutes, to be remembered,
to be studied over and to be expert
mentally and practically applied in
their work in future years. And all
this came to young men seeking knowl-
edge, i'll language easily understood
and readily applied There can be
nothing humiliating to listen to pi-
oneei farmer as he recounts his eXper-
iments the past years. Even though
his methods have not been attended
with the profitable results he hoped
for, the lesson has not been lost. He
might be able to tell, with greater
pride, of his successful achievements,
but chow not to do it, if needed,
has saved others the time and expense
of similar failures.
Wnlle we 90 not pretend 10 attribute
every advance movement among farm
ers during the past 30 or 40 years, to
knowledge gained at Farmers Insti-
tutes, it will be admitted without ar
gument that the Institute has indeed
been most potent factor in guiding
and instructing farmers as they eager
ly pressed forward with gigantic
strides to higher and grander achieve
ments. The legislator, the merchant,
the inventor, and the votaries of ev-
cry legitimate business have been con-
strained to listen and heed his argu-
ments, and have caught an inspira-
tion from him that has led, and is
still leading on, to higher and better
achievements.
Who can give figures that will in
any measure represent the value of
our Farmers Institutes, even in the
limited territory of our own county?
Take any single branch of agricultur-
al industry and compare present con-

m to the Opera House Wednesday,
Oct. 31st. Something has been said in
this column about the thorough success
with which George Broadhurst, H. A.
DuSouchet and others have made howl
ing farces with distinctively American
plots and scenes which steered clear of
all characters and incidents smelling
of dissipation and vice. The scheme
seems to be spreading. Sidney Wilmer
and Walter Vincent are the authors of
this latest effort, and from all reports,
the play is meeting with big success.

"what Happened to Jones:.


George H. Broadhurst's success,
what Happened to Jones?." which will
be the attraction at the Opera House
Saturday matinee and night, is a pure
ly farcical comedy, that depends en-
tirely upon its dialogue and situations
for its fun. The story treats of one
Ebenezer Goodly, who is a professor OF
anatomy. The first act opens with the
household in a furry Of excitement
and preparation, as he is expected mo-
mentarily. In the meantime, a sutton
for the hand of n of Mr.. Goodly's
daughters induces him to accompany
him to a glove contest, in the interest
of science. The contest is supposed TO
take place in a private club, and the
police raid the place. The professor
and young man escape and are followed
by Jones, whom t4ey believe to be a
policeman. They enter the house, and
Jones follows after them; he relates
how he had whipped the policeman,
and then the complications begin.
Jones Is a man of resources, who says
in explaining his business that when
he strikes a slow town he sells prayer
books, and a lively playing cards"

''Miss Hobbs

"Miss HObDs.'
Miss Hobbs" the new four-act COM
edy by Jerome X. Jerome, which is
underlined for next Friday night, Oct.
18th, at the Opera House, is a celverly
conceived, brightly written and entire
ly wholesome play. Its merit is all per-
vading, shining in a natural run of di-
alogue, just often enough tipped with
epigram and mildly satirical remark to
give it an atmosphere of perfect spon-
taneity and as frequently displaying
itself In numerous unforeseen situa-
tions and surprises that were a con-
tinual challenge to expectation and in
terest. And the quality of novelty in
a certain sense also attaches to the
pleasant story, which, while not at all
unprecedented in it's presentation of a
girl strong-minded on the subject of
marriage, who finally proves false TO
her professions in a graceful surrender
to a manly man. brings these condi-
tions of change about viii the fresh

It is said at the Brooklyn navy yard
