FARMERS INSTITUTES.
The Old FoRies are Waking Up and
Falling Into Line With the
Advanced Movement.

The secretary of agriculture, in his
report for 1901, asked for an apEco-
priation of $1,000 for the purpose of
promoting general system of farm
ers' Institutes in this country. The
amount realized as available for the
purpose indicated, was but So 1000, an
amount entirely inadequate for the
proposed work. and only sufficient for
gathering statistics of the institutes
competent man to study the problems
| of institute management at home and
abroad, so that he might be as helpful
as possible to the work. 1t is to be
hoped the secretary will receive more
liberal treatment from the present
congress. Farmers institutes are
now held in every state and territory
IA in number-and nearly complete
returns have been received from 40 of
them. These reports show that there
are about $500 institutes held annual
ly in the territory reported, and that
the funds expended by these 40 states
and territories, not including ex-
penses incurred by the people of the
| localities, amounted last year to $780,
| 900, and that about 707 900 people at
tended the institutes. The number of
students taking the agricultural
course in the A. and NJ. colleges in the
same states and territories was 1898,
or an average of 2i0. There are about
10, 600, 900 persons in this country &C
| tually engaged in agriculture, and
| these statistics show that only about
| one in IA attend the institutes. OF
| course the percentage of attendance
is larger in the thickly peopled states
than where farmers are farther apart,
and where roads have not been i'm
| proved, as is often the case in the
newer states and territories. But at
tendance at institutes is increasing
every year. Farmers are being arous-
ed and they are getting up and
moving forward. and the old fogies
are beginning to wonder what all this
means, and are yawning and falling IN
line for the purpose of seeing what
they may see-or it may be for the
purpose of seeing and hearing what
others see and hear. Farmers in
stitutes are the most awakening thing
that has occurred among farmers up
to this date.-TeXas Farm and Ranch

HERE AND THERE.

"A good system of rotation on the
farm is the one which includes crop
of new IDEAS"
The digestibility of food elements
in feed must determine its value in
actual use. A chemist might be able
to find protein in sawdust. but the
cow certainly could not.
One cannot pick up an agricul-
tural paper, but he reads news OF
farmers combining to sell the chief
products of the farm. That's right.
Meet cooperative effort with coop
Grafton.
Why such a rush made to plant
a large crop of cotton? But for provl-
Dental interference, cotton would
now be five cents instead of ten.
Look out! You may get caught with
an empty corn crib.
Thousands of farmers, realizing
the necessity of organization, are
seeking the best order. Be sure the
society you support has something to
Join besides promises. Promises are
good, but they pay no bills, secure no
laws.
Where are those hogs you are go
INC TO kill next fall? You can not
afford to grow cotton at eight cents
and buy meat at fifteen cents. When
ever bacon is higher than cotton you
should be selling bacon and buying
cotton.
There is much more in good farm
ing than the raising of good crops.
Good farming means the maintenance
of fertility, the profitable marketing
of products, the economical buying OF
all material, the art of making
dollar cover 100 cents worth OF
ground.
Manufacturers of farm machinery
have formed trust and given their
agents orders not to sell machine
under the price set by the combine.
An agent forfeits his position as sales
man for any of the firms combined by
making cut rate of any sort with
spy machine. Farmers, how will you
meet this proposition?
Men have been known to work
cows as oxen, and the triple-purpose
COW is as reasonable to strive for as
the dual-purpose one. Beef-making
is a tax on butter-making. and butter
making on beef-making, but neither

according to an old nurseryman
there is no better preventive OF
