Scientifically.

Every farmer near this city
should have attended the r arm.
ers Institute here Monday.
Farming is science and to
make the farm most profitable
there must necessarily be many
experiments. Farmers Insti.
tutes are held for the purpose
of giving to the farmers the
benefits of the experiments of
theexperiment station at Colum
bia and In this way the farmer
can get the experience of others
thereby getting the benefit ot
the experiment at the least cost.
With our higher priced land and
railroad facilities it is necessar
that farmers be more scientific
if they would make farming
most profitable. The NJ K & T
railroad company recognizes
the fact that the better the
crops, the more money there is
for the railroad company. For
this reason they are intereste d
in the work. T. L. Peeler OF
Dallas, Tex, Industrial Ageu t
of the M. K. & T. system is
showing the institute every
possible courtesy. He is a
pleasant gentleman.
DR.. G.. M. fuckers lecture on
Corn Improvement" was time
ly. He showed corn can be i'm
proved by selecting the seed
scientifically and it is so easy
to make the selection'that every
farmer should select his seed
corn in the right way. The
yield can be greatly increa sed
by scientific selection of seed.

Old Missouri.

Several weeks since, Ed ward
Stephens became dissatisfied
with Grand Old Missouri and
sent his family from Bethel
down here to visit friends and
relatives while he "lOoked out
a location for a home in the
state of Washington.
Well, he went, he looked. he
saw, and what he saw made it
clear to hun that the only place
where man could be prosper
Gus and happy was where he
could read his title clear to a
slice of Grand old Missouri,
so he hied himself back to his
old home so quick that by the
time his family had gotten their
visit out, he was back at Bethel
and wrote them to come home.
