The Farmers Institute.

The farmers institute is the
farmers school. 1t is the young
farmers and the boys who will be
farmers in a short time who es-
pecially need the instruction that
the institute is intended to fur
nish. Therefore, it should be at
tended by the boys, whether the
old folks attend it or not. The
young folks have less to forget.
They are less welded to precon-
ceived opinions, says Wallaces
Farmer. They are more open
minded, and therefore more re-
ceptive to new ideas.
We never count on much good
from an institute where there are
10 boys or young men. Where
an institute is filled UP with re-
tired farmers, as many of them
are, there is not likely to be much
good accomplished. That class Of
men have largely quit thinking
OF agricultural problems. Many
of them have become stranded on
the sidewalk. Many of them are
preJudlced against any new ideas
and new methods. The boys are
largely free from this. They are
more likely to catch the spirit
o. the new agriculture. They
are not nearly so likely to weary
the audience with theories long
since exploded.
feet the boys out to the insti-
tute, even if you have to stay at
home yourself. Encourage them
to ask questions. We would rath
Ell have one question from boy
than two from a retired farmer.
The question reveals the state of
the boys mind, and incidentally
the state of the minds of the boys
in the neighbOrhOOd. This acts
as a sort of range-fmder for the
speaker, and enables him to state
facts and principles which other
wise might be overlooked.
: There is a class of farmers who
are boys until they are old men
that is, they retain the receptiv-
ity of the boys mind, the hun
ger of the boy for new ideas
There can not be too many Ot
these in an institute, no matter
what their age.
If the boys are really interest.
ed in agriculture, or if you wish
to interest them, get them t.
the farmers institute. Take then
with you, if you can; but if some
one must stay at home, let it be
the father. The agriculture Of
the. future in these western states
depends largely upon the young
men and the boys. Therefore, j
will pay to give them every ad
vantage.-The .IndustrialiSt.

Miss Ida NJ Tarbell has made
a careful study of conditions a.
mong the textile workers in Rhode
Island where the tariff protects
the industries to a notable extent
and where in consequence one
should expect to find the wor king
classes benefitmg indirectly there
from. Miss Tarbell, writes the
results of her Investigations IN
the January American Magazine.
She says that the wages are so
low chat the children OF every
family are obliged to go into the
factories. as soon as the age Inn
i is reached and In the majority
of cases ne mother has to go as
well, thus destroying Che home
and leaving the babies to shift
for themselves. Miss Tarbell says
the infant mortality is appalling
and cites he following story to
Illustrate this point:

Gentleman Don.

The story is told byDon himself.
The practice of putting language
IN the mouths of animals is con-
demned by some critics. and ac-
cepted by Others. Still there are
put lew persons other than those
who call themselves critict. who
object to it. This feature of the
story makes it all the more inter
eStlng, as we are told of the trials
and trlbula-iOns, the joys and
1earS OF the intelligent animals in
their own language. We all know
that an intelligent dog can ex-
press his feelings plainly, though
unable to talk.
No lover of a dog, or of ami
maj pets, and no sympathetic per-
son can fail to be well entertained
and fascinated by this simple
story from Mrs. HarShbarger's
pen. This is her first effort. and
i will surely encourage her to try
again. The original illustrations
are by David Stewart, a young
Topeka artist, who shows distinct
genus and has ability to make
life-like picture to. illustrate his
subject. This feature of his book
will add materially in making the
book a popular holiday seller.
The book made It's appearance
on the last day of the Teachers
Annual Convention, and sold
about as fast as the books came
from the bindery:.
