Faruer,' Institute.

| Farmers Institute.
We are pleased to call attention to
the speakers and the subjects treated
at the institute 10 lie held in Coop
erstown next week. Mr.. N. +.
Greeley, editor of the "Dakota
Farmer" is conductor OF the in
s,itutes this season and will speak
upon the subjects of Economical
Meat Production" and Poultry" in
addition to short talks on alfalfa and
rape. He is not only farmer but
an experienced institute man and
will have much valuable information
to give to the farmers Of Griggs
County.
MIR. E. s. Delaney, of Valley
City, the we'll known draft horse
man, will talk upon "The Draft
Horse, Care and Management.
While new man on the institute
platform Mr.. Delaney readily
takes to the work and with his inter-
tanning way of Speaking and his
valuable fund of information, never
fails to interest his hearers.
Mr.. A. h. Bush, of Minnesota, is
the owner of two large farmes at
that place which he operates himself.
He comes directly from his feed
wards to the North Dakota institute
platform, speaking principally upon
"PotatoGrowing, ""HogRaising"and
sBeef Cattle" At the same time if
there is any information desired
along the line of tree culture and
small fruit growing, Mr.. Bush is just
the man to give it.
E. G. Schollander of the Agricul-
tural College has number of talks
on ssThe Selection of Seed Grain"
"Rotation of Crops" "Methods of
Cultivation, "s'the Deceases of Plants,
etc. His work with the Experiment
Station and with the Bureau of Plant
Industry, US Department Of Agri-
culture, makes him an expert in
these lines and we are sure the
Griggs County farmers will be in
te-ested in what he has to say.
While not definitely settled it is
quite likely that the dairy industry
will be representedb by Mr.. Thomas
Convey. the practical dairy and in
st,tute man Of Ridgeway, Wis. Mr..
Convey never fails to interest his
hearers ON ''Selecting the Dairy
Cow ''How to Feed her and Pro-
duce the best Results" and Chow
to handle the Product" II there
is any information desired on the
subject of s.The Silo" Mr.. Convey
is in position to give it as the silo is
in constant use upon his farm.
Every farmer whe attends the in
stitute receives free copy of the
North Dakota Farmers Institute
Annual for 1903. This is regular
hand book of North Dakota Agri-
culture and many times worth the
trouble of attending the institute
providing there is nothing to be
learned from the speakers and meet
ing with the neighboring farmers.
Don't forget that the ladies are
especially invited and urged to be
present and take an active part in all
the sessions. A special invitation is
given them to be present at the
evening session as we'll as the girls
and boys on the farm to hear Mr..
Greeley's address on ssThe Landed
Home"
Remember, farmers, this institute
is for you and if any of the subjects
named above does not cover the
information you seek ask some of
the institute speakers about what
you desire to know and arrangements
will be made for short talks on the
subjects.
Coopeastown had good institute
two years ago and there is no reason
why this should not be considerably
better both in interest and atten-
dance. Remember the time and
place.
