THE FARMERS INSTITUTE
Inclement Weather Kept a Mum.
her of Interested Farmers
From Attending.

The farmers institute which was held
in this city last Tuesday and Wednes-
day, was of great interest to those who
attended. The weather both days was
exceedingly cold and stormy, and many
farmers who had planned On attending
the institute could not be present.
Mr.. John Robeytson, who is a sue.
cessful fruit grower from the Black
Hills country, gave an interesting talk
on groves and orchards and cultivation
and care of same.
w. ID. Mckee, who is an experienced
stock feeder, gave an excellent talk on
the raising and feeding of stock on the
ordinary farm, showing that a good
profit a be made by scientific feeding
and that greater gains can be made by
better breeding.
F, w. Ellis gave two le~ctures-one
along the line of raising and feeding
hogs and another upon the selection of
seed. cultivation and preservation of
the potato. He gave a remedy for the
wilt of the potato vines, and his explain
alton of the proper care of the potato
in the cellar will prove invaluable to
many of our farmers.
A. E. Chamberlain, who is the best
authority in the northwest upon scien-
tifc agriculture, gave as his principal
talk the cultivation of the soil for dry
and wet seasons.
There was a very good attendance
considering the cold weather, and those
present are enthusiastic in their praise
of the lectures delivered. We hope
the farmers will give these Institutes
more attention in the future, as that is
the only way for the farmers to get the
benefit of the money SO well spent by
the state for that purpose.

There may be seen along the road aides in Central America a brown wren about the size of a canary which builds a nest out of all proportion to its sp- parent needs. It selects a small tree with horizontal branches growing close together. Across two of the branches it lays sticks fastened together with tough fiber until a platform about six feet long by two feet wide has been constructed. On the end of this plat form nearest the tree trunk 1t then builds a huge dome shaped nest a foot or so high with thick sides of in- tsrwoyen thorns. A covered passage wav is then made from the nest to the md of the platform in as crooked a manner as possible. Across the outer end as well as at short intervals along tbe inside of this tunnel are placed cunning little fences of thorns with inst space enough for the owners to mass through.
