All present expressed themselves to
the effect that an institute at regular
intervals would be of mutual and last
ing benefit to all parties interested in
the farm and things pertaining thereto.
Another meeting was called for Sat-
urday May II, at which time it is
expected to perfect the organization. A
program for this meeting will be
ANNOUNCED in due time. 1t is hoped and
expected that the farmers will take hold
and attend, come prepared to discuss
. the subjects brought before the meeting
aud by active cooperation with one
another make the movement the success
it shovld be.
Don't wait for the other fellow, or say
you have not time to spare for the meet
ing. The half day spent in a good entel-
ligeEt exchange of ideas and discussion
will certainly result as profitably as that
used in any other occupation. Some
new idea will be brought ont in some
branch of your business-the successful
operation of a farm is as much a bust
ness as any other occupation, which will
enable you by a change of method in
doing a certain thing which will per-
haps save you many times over the half
day spent attending the institute. For
example: In the spring when horses are
put into hard work, OF colts are put to
work for the first time, unless proper
care is taken their shoulders are apt to
get sore and cause no end of trouble and
annoyance, this can easily be avoided
by proper care or quickly cured after
they get sore, by proper treatment. You
may have a good remedy, both as care
and preventative but afarmer in another
part of the county may have a simpler,
better and cheaper plan. By seeing and
taking with him, you have his scheme,
which saves You many hours for the
minutes you have spent learning it.
And this example will apply TO the
hundreds of things which come up in
the every day experience of the farmer.
The .'too busy" theory is a mistake, dis
abuse your mind of it; be enterprising,
keeping abreast of the times, get out OF
the old rut; don't do things a certain
way just because your father did SC
before you.
Use your brain; that's what it was
given you for; seek new methods, and
when you find something that will helI
you conduct your business to a better
advantage and with greater profit by
lessenlng your expense, adopt it. In q
word, do business on business principal
and TO this end attend the meeting on
Nov II and assist in this movement
