THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

To begin with, the Mi shicott Teach
ers' Institute was decidedly success,
about 20 teachers being present. Friday
evening, Profs. Cheever and Sage, the
con luctors, and Supt. Christensen de-
livered interesting lectures at the opera
Hall
Geography, Participates and Infinitives,
Mental Arithmetic and some profession
al work were taken up the next day
Prof Cheever also gave a very delight
full talk on the influence Of pictures, and
eloquently pleaded for the decorations of
our schools
One day is too. short time for cover
ing all Of the work outlined, but the work
was so systematic that every teacher
could get something out of it. Besides
one of the strongest points of success
full institute is that it leaves the teacher
stronger and more hopeful when he sees
so many working along his line. 1t is
also very gratifying to see how interested
the city teachers are in the welfare of the
rural schools. Surely. their sympathy
and corporation are appreciated Supt
Christensen deserves great credit for
this Institute, Let MS show him that we
appreciate it by asking him for another.

AMONG FARMERS.

Mich. Carney of Cato was a caller at
The Pilot office Saturday. Mr. Carney
is one of the second crop in that town,
his parents having been among the early
settlers.
VIM. Morgan brought in 20 hogs on
Monday last which he sold to John PITT.
They were all hogs of last springs lit
tiers and their aggregate weight was a. =
600 pounds.
The price of farm machinery is going
skyward. Farming machinery into which
iron and steel enter has made greater
advance than that mainly of wood. There
is hardly prospect of an early reduc-
ton either.
John Meany of Cato was q caller at
The Pilot Office on Thursday last Mr..
Meany says the mild weather is helping
out the farmers great deal in the mat
ter of water for stock, and that notwith-
standing the shortage in the water sup
ply there is as yet no hardship to stock
The Marine Review publishes a very
interesting communication on Manila
hemp 1t is written by a gentleman who
is well informed on the subject He sees
no possibility of reduction in price this
year. There is no reserve stock any
where, and the only hemp in Sights that
afoat which is only one-eighth of what
was used in 1897. The shortage may in
crease the demand for sisal and thus
make binder Irvine cost more. He looks
for an advance rather than reduction
in prices.
Protectionists were always delighted
when they could use England Us bug
bear to brighten American voters about
election time. An interesting lot of
statistics has recently been prepared by
the agricultural department, showing
the amount and distribution of our ag-
ricultural exports. The period covers
1894 and up to 1898 The average annu-
al value of orr agricultural exports was
1868, 536. 201. OF these so per cent. found
market in the United Kingdom The
United Kingdom paid for American
farm produce during that time the sum
of $403 953, S54 per year, or much more
than all the rest of the world.
Germany ranked next, but took only
13 per cent. of the exports, an average
of SS6, 800, 274 per year. France took 81
per cent, an annual average of x43, 1888,
100.
Eighty per cent. of all the farm pro-
duce shipped from this country was
marketed in Europe Only per cent
went to Canada and other North Ameri-
can countries. South America the pet
of the Monroe doctrine took less than 2
per cent and the countries of that con
tinent took less in 1893 than i'm 1894
There was quite an inceease in the ex-
ports to Asiatic countries, though the
aggregate is small.
