County Institute and County Fair.

/ County Institute and County Fair.
1t may seem at first view that there
is no particular connection between the
County Fair and the County Institute
and there has not been go far, but it
seems to us that they might be more in
timately connected, and that with great
advantage TO both institutions.
The prime object of the originators
of both movements was instruction; the
one furnishing an object lesson in the
finished product, the other the oppor
tunity to explain to the masses why the
idea was conceived and how it was
brought to a successful termination.
What rousing success our next Insti-
tute would be, if all the premium win.
ners at our next County Fair would
only begin now and take notes of the
course pursued by them all through the
season in the raising of the premium
animals, grasses, grains, fruits, and
roots?
Such a course can and ought to be
pursued, and it is the object of this ar
ticle to start such movement among
the progressive, thinking farmers of the
county.
Any one who will give the matter q
moments earnest thought, will see at
once the incalculable benefit such a
course would be to the farming com
munity. 10 have the precise methods
by which the very best results were at.
tanned, placed before them in concise
manner and by the party who did the
work, would not only prove to be inter-
esting but highly educational.
The season has opened up dry and the
present indications are not favorable to
our grass crop. Our barns are empty,
and our pocket-books greatly resemble
our cattle, both having been on rather
short rations lately.
Farmers are not going to be again
caught if they can avoid 1t, and as q
consequence, to guard against a recur-
renee of present conditions, there is and
has been, both last fall and this spring,
quite change of front both as to for
age crops and pasture grasses. Farmers
are not now placing all their dependence
on timothy as pasture grass or for
age crop.
Owing to the exhausted condition of
pastures last fall, far-seeing farmers
sowed fall rye for spring pasture, to
give pastures q chance to recuperate
before stock would be turned on them.
Where seeding failed and pastures
must be had different methods have
been tried with what degree of success
time will tell. Some pIowed at the earli
est possible moment and sowed with
timothy and clover, mixture of wheat,
oats, barley and rye. A great deal of
Essex rape is being sowed this spring,
mostly in an experimental way, and this

Waverly, Ia, April 19.-The An
cient Order of the Red Cross. Il large
fraternal insurance company, was sold
to the rankers' Union of the World
Feb. 81, 1902. Injunction proceedings
were instituted, however, to prevent
the contamination of the deal. The
injunction was to have been passed
upon by Judge Kelley in the district
court, but it was withdrawn owing to
an amicable agreement between the
contending parties.
Thus the Bankers Union gains COM
plete control of the organization, and
binds itself to pay all outstanding
death claims against the Red Cross
providing the aggregate does not eX-
coed $4,000.
