FARMERS INSTITUTE
Interesting Session Brings Out Many
and Proves Beneficial.

Tuesday evening marked the close
! of the Farmers Institute in this
& city, which, all things considered,
was success. The rainy weather
prevented many from attending the
first day, but the meetings we're
none the less interesting and in
structive.
iMr. Cole, the Vermillion horti-
culturist, was the first to speak yes
terday, his address being confined to
orchards and flowers. Mr.. Cole pro-
duced a chart showing an orchard
of one acre, the proper arrangement
of trees for best results, and also
recommended some varieties which
his experience has taught him are
best adapted to this state.
Mr.. Cole is great lover of flow
ers, he having two acres on his home
farm.
Prof. A. K. Wheaton, of Brook
ings, pure food commissioner of
South Dakota, who was formerly
head of the Dairy department at
Brookings, spoke for thirty minutes
on "Dairying."
In the course of his remarks Mr..
Wheaton spoke of the value Of alf-
alta as food for dairy COWS, explain
ing that ton of ground alfalfa, ac-
cordlng to chemical analysis, is of
the same value as a ton of bran.
But we must have the dairy COW
wit
wheaton, in order to obtain salts
factory results" The Holstein breed
fcf milk or cheese, where feed is
plenty; the Guernsey and Ayrshire
close seconds, were his recommen-
dations. He also stated that where
feed was scarce the Jersey was best
for butter making, but could not be
recommended here.
Mr.. Wheaton concluded with Civ
ing few pointers on care of calves.
DR.. A. A. Brigham spoke on
Poultry for use or for Profit" He
handled his subject in manner very
satisfactory to all present, going into
detail as to selection, care and feed
ing of fowls.
A feature of his address was his
recommendation to have placed in
every school an incubator, to illus
trate life in the growth of the little
chick.
Miss Hoover, Instructor in Domes-
tic Science department of the school
at Brookings, gave scientific lee
ture on the preparation of foods, es-
pecially oat meal, which she says is
more abused than any other article
of diet. The foods prepared by her
were passed around the audience.
The broiled beef could not be ex-
celled; the whole room was filled
with the rich odor, and as one gen
tlentan said, "it wi uld make the
mouth of a savage water
Mr.. Chambers, conductor Of In
stitutes, spent few minutes in a
general talk, announcing that in
October. 1908, another meeting would
be held and requesting all present
to use their influence in creating in
terest in these meetings.
Upon request of those present he
spoke briefly, but instructively on the
production of corn and wheat.

MODERN STORE A MACHINE.
Standardization and the "onc.Pricc''
System Have Chanued Business.


The popular idea Is that depart.
ment store is merely the grouping to.
Sethcr of large number Of separate
businesses under one roof. But the
experiment of assembling businesses
in one store TO minimize the cost of
rent and other fixed charges has been
tried and discontinued as failure.
The success of the department store
rests upon an entirely different prin-
ciple-upon Standardization The de-
partments are not independent. but
highly specialized activities conform
ing to certain fixed laws that gov.
ern the whole establishment.
The old way of doing business was
simple and the methods were highly
elastic The proprietor bought as
cheaply as he could, unually in guam
titles that were measured only by his
capacity to sell and by his credit He
marked the goods in cipher. ana left
it to his clerk to get MS large a
profit as could be whcedled from the
customer.
Now the difference between the
old way and the new Is the differ.
cnce between the old-timc workshop.
whore everything was made by hand.
and the factory where machinery
does the work. The machine makes
articles exactly alike in standard
sizes and the cost of production is
enormously reduced, as every one
knows.
Probably the most important factor
in the development of the depart
ment-storc machine Is the idea of
"onepricc articles marked in plain
figures" This makes 1t possible for
the goods practically to sell them
selves. The element of bargaining
is almost wholly eliminated. The
chief function of the clerk is to SEQ
that the machine works properly. |
