to scientific methods If the highest
degree of success is to be attained.
The ideas held and methods persued

all interested in stock raising, horti.
culture, or agriculture, that did not
avail themselves of the privilege of
attending the institute and hearing
the instructive as we'll as interesting
lecture certainly missed much avail
able in 'ormation. The papers pre-
pared by home talent we're considered
of such excellent worth that motion
was made and carried that they be
sent to the State paper for publica-

was made to accommodate everyone
who attended the institute. The
music rendered by the Williamson
sisters, of Columbus, O., was so much
enjoyed during each session, that the
consert given by them Thursday
night, assisted by Miss Blanche Smith
drew a large audience that filed the
Opera House to overlooking. The
