fish ordered for this week were practi-

farmers INSTITUTE
At NEW ENGLAND

Following are extracts of institute
talks given at New England last week:
1t was stated by some of the citizens
that some years ago there had been an
attempt 10 build around New England
and that the early settlers who attempt
ed grain growing had become discour-
aged and had moved away. Now this
statement was only half correct but it
had the effect of arousing a desire to
build well and surely.
The first inquiry is how to make the
new conditions supper the family,
while making a farm and a home on the
new prairie sod.
1t was decided that the first help was
a COW and q few chickens. Then the
garden and with the milk and eggs and
vegetables from the garden the next
steps would be easier.
Then it was claimed that as soon
as possible that rhubarb should be
planted for the sake of the sauce and
pies, and to give the needed acid alone
with a strong diet so common on the
start. Then put out strawberries,
eooseberries and currants. That all
these small fruits did well and came
into bearing so soon that disheartenine
delays that so tires the heart of the wife
and mother. were partially avoided.
And the easiest and best methods, of
cultivation to meet the existing condi-
tions were carefully explained.
Supt. L. R. Wafdron has done some
grand teaching in his time, in which he
has explained weishty matters. to
learned scientific men surrounded by
college walls. but he has never done
nobler teaching than when he explained
to these western North Dakota farmers,
how to put pieces of prairie sod in the
hot bed and plant a few melon or pump
kin seed. and then transplant to the
garden for summer use.
Then make the home comfortable.

Mr.. Gregg pleaded with the men not to
become 50 absorbed in their work as to
forget. to furnish the few necessary con
%veniences q helpful to a tired but
devoted housewife.
O. c. Gregg quizzed> the school chill
dren very entertaininely in the work of
the farm, and in Supt. Waldrun's work
on plant breeding it is doubtful if he
ever had a class in college that followed
him more closely Q intellisently than
did these New England public school
pupils.
NOTES
The crops this year around New Eng
land are the best the settlers there have
ever had. Flax will average II to 10
bushels, oats IS to so, hard wheat about
22 bushels to the acre.
