A day spent in attendance at 3 farm
ers' institute may result in The adop-
tion of methods, the value of which
cannot be estimated. 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 avoiding somesof the many diff
fculties they had to encounter.
Thousands and thousands of dollars
are annually lost in Minnesota to the
masses, by not being familiar with the
practical methods of the most success
full farmers. The actual experiences
OF the successful farmers make splen-
did "guide boards" to all others,
when needed. All methods that have
proven failures should be- set up as
''danger Signals" to prevent others
from falling into the same errors. The
practical experiences of just one indi-
vidual (when known) may be of ines
timable 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 expert
ences, means and methods for the best
known practical results. IT IS ALL
FREE, NO COLLECTIONS and NO cHARe-
Es. Tell all your neighbors. Bring
