FARMERS INSTITUTES
Get In Touch With Your NeighbOrs
In Agricultural Matters.

At this season of the year when
farmers institute meeting are being
booked for next winter, a short ar
ticle concerning the work may be
helpful.
Although farmers institutes are
not new thing under the sum-"
there are still thousands of farmers
who have no direct contact with
the work and consequently know
very little of its merits. We still
occasionally, meet or hear of a man
who characterizeS the institute work
as paper farming" and believes it
to be- a useless expense. Such OBJ
jectors are in the minority, so far
as both numbers and influence are
concerned, and might, therefore, be
ignored; but, as the definite aim of
the institute work is to improve
every farm and every farm house.
doubling Thomases should receive
some consideration. 1t is not eX-
pected that one or several newspa-
per articles will convert these peo-
pie. They must themselves sam
pie the goods" When Nathaniel
said "Can any good thing come out
of NAZARETH" Philip wisely answer
ed, Come and see" So we say to
these skeptical people, come and
see. Attend two or three live farm
ers institutes and get in touch with
your neighbors, who are trying to
improve their farms, their live stock
and their homes, and also striving
to better the neighborhood condi-
tons, financially, socially, intellectu-
ally and morally. Visit the farms
and homes of active institutes
workers, and note the improvement
effected by means of better seed
better blood, better methods, better
conveniences in the home aud SAM
taTy conditions In and around the
farm buildings. Actual contact in
the farmers institute meetings
with the bright, earnest progressive
men and women of the farm, who
are seeking to improve home and
neighborhood, will prove inspiring
and helpful to every one. Not only
will the very best practical farmers
feel the uplift of such association
but the indifferent or poor farmel
aud the lonely or discouraged farm,

Cement Production Breaks Record.
Ten years ago the production of
Portland cement for the first time
passed the 100000 barrel mark
showing an increase of 1000 per
cent over the production 10 years
previous, and the giant strides that
had been made in industry were
widely remarked. Evep this pro-
duction was small compared with
that of the present day. In 1910
according to the report on cement
by Ernest F. Burchard, of the Unit
ed States Geological Survey, the
production of Portland cement
reached the enormous total OF 49,
549,951 barrels, with a value of
$68,205,800. This equivalent to
1885. 152 long tons, valued at $5.25
a ton. 1t is an increase over the
output for 1909 of 11,558,520 bar
rels are nearly IS per cent, and an
increase in value of $15,347, 446, or
more than 20 per cent This in
crease alone is greater than the
total OUT ut of Portland cement in
1900 In addition to Portland ce.
ment there was also produced last
year l,139239 barrels of natural
cement and 95,951 barrels of puz.
zolan cement, a total of 77,785, al
barrels.
/ The price of Portland cement in
1910 was as low as 70 cents a bar
rel in some places, the average fol
the United States being 1871 cents
a barrel. In 1890 the average price
was over So a barrel and as late a,
1903 it was $1.24 a barrel.
Mr.. Burchard remarks that meas
ured by the capital invested tn,
cement industry is one of thu
worlds three great extractive indus
tries. In capital employed it appar
emily far outranks the gold-minin
industry of the United States, in
Guiding Alaska, as we'll as the COP
per industry. Only coal and iro
stand ahead of it.

How to Tell a Girls AGE.

Girls of a manageable age do
not like to tell how old they are;
but you can find out by following
the subjoined instructions, the young
lady doing the figuring. Tell her to
put down the number of the month
in which she was born, then to null
tiply it by 2, then add 5, then to
multiply it by so, then to add her
age, then subtract 1865, then to add
115; then to tell her to tell you the
amount she has left. The two fig
ureS to the right will tell you her
age, and the remainder the month
of her birth. For example, the
amount is 822; she is % years old
and was born in the eighth month
(August) Try it Standard.

Don't Leave the Farm

The time for a boy to leave the
farm is past. Their teachers no
longer advise them to 90 to the
cities. Opportunities today for sue
cess upon the farm was never great
er. 1t is true that to succeed on
the farm today, one must be edu-
Gated, must know how to improve
the land, cultivate the crops, breed
up the stock and market their pro-
duce. Education how many farm
ers realize that they fail to succeed
today because their education is
limited. Every boy to succeed on
the farm must be educated. The
farmer who fails to send his chill
dren to school regularly not only
injuries his children butNhe throttles
Announcements and progress of the
next generation.
The boy on the farm should re-
ceive a short course in agriculture
in the State university where he
can learn how to analyze the soil,
spray and take care of the orchards
and many other things without
which he cannot farm correctly or
successfully.
The old notion that a boy does
not need an education to farm is as
false today as it was a hundred
years ago.
knowledge is power therefore it
behooves every parent to give to
his child knowledge. The boy on
the farm is the nations's safeguard
in war and he feeds the nation when
her people are hungry. Educate
the boy and keep him on the farm
where he can live and can live an
honorable and successful life
