about hogs and corn to send something
like this. Wen buy more land to
raise more beets TO feed more stock.
to buy more land to raise more beets
to feed more stock, etc. To the man
who has liking for the care Of stock,
there is something especially pleasing
in the way in which dumb creatures
learn to depend upon him to follow his
every movement and to show their ap.
probation of his case; but In this as In
, every thing else, it is not all pleasure
and not all satisfaction. The only
way to be sure OF success is to go at it
with will and determination to do
to.the best OF our ability, that which is
set for us to do.
Let US then be up and doing
With heart for any fate.
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.
Chas. Derham spoke in favor of beet
culture both for profit and culture.
w. Bingham spoke of the benefits of
stock keeping and feeds sheep and
lambs at the present time at the rate of
two pounds of grain day to each one
Mr. Owen feeds stock ON feed produced
on the farm, entire and without grain.
Mr. Watkins of Washtenaw Co., was
quoted rs feeding in the field, having

Miss Mattiebel Getman rendered fine
recitation, which was followed by a
beautiful violin solo by Miss Mabel

hearty encore.
The Primary Election Law, was next
in order, and most vigorously present
ed by Clayton T. Cook, who resided
four years in Georgia, where the law is
in force. Candidates names are placed
upon the ticket used at the primary by
petition. The objection does not hold
good that members of one party can pack
the primaries and nominate q weak man,
neither is it true that people are not suf-
ficiently interested to post themselves as
to the qualifications of aspirants before
attending the primaries. Better men
will be nominated. Candidates will
owe their nominations to the people and
not to any ring, better results will fol-
low their election. Court costs would
be reduced, as judges would fear more
the action of the people if business was
not pushed along rapidly. Mr.. Cook
presented the question in brief and
pointed manner, making his hearers
feel that he was right in what he said.
Discussion was continued by Peter
Patched, who said he believed that the
whole trouble was with the people who
are not interested and who do not turn
OUT 10 the CducuSeS.
Mr.. Chas. Whelan thought there were
very few men who have offices thrust
upon them, and he would debar any
man who aspires to Office the privilege
of election who is willing to pay more
to get the office than the salary amounts
to.
E. 0. Dewey spoke in favor of a
primary election law, agreeing in the
main with Mr.. Cook but would handle
it in a non-partisan way, all names to
appear on one ticket and all nominations
to be made the same day. He favored a
law compelling attendance at the plima-
ries.
Mr.. Clayton Cook said that in Georgia
all the voters attend the primary eau
cuses, as many or even more than at
tend the election, further that the
nominees for U. S. senator's We're practi-
cally elected at the primary meeting
