THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.

- HE Middle Tennessee Farm
ers' Institute, in it's present
annual session, has gathered
line body Of men, such an as
sembly as betokens the high
grade Of the Middle Tennessee agri-
culturists, and with such a spirit as
promises much for the progress and
betterment of the agricultural inter
ests in this favored region, where
all the conditions for SUCCESS
full farming are as good as the world
anywhere knows.
1t is very gratifying after so much
OF political wrangling and exploita-
ton to find that the people of the
State are not wholly obsessed with
such things, but beyond and above
it all there is a looking forward, a
regard for the substantial things of
life and their betterment; progress
that means elevation and the attain
ment of all that modern enIighten-
ment and an advanced civilization
should bring.
Middle Tennessee is one of the
best farming regions on the earth,
and its farmers, as fully demon
strated by the institute now in ses-
sion in Nashville, are the peers of
any the world can produce. With
such combination this region
should advance to great achievement
in agricultural lines, and when ag-
riculture advances, all Industries,
trade and other interests keep this
pace.
The Banner is especially pleased
to note the improved attendance and
lively interest taken in the Middle
Tennessee Farmers Institute. It
must result in great good to the far
mers and the public generally. 1t
is to be hoped that the institute will
continue to grow in Importance, and
that the spirit of progress it imbues
in those who attend will be far
reaching in results.-NashvilIe Ban

HINTS OF THE~FpEED LOT.

One way to supply forage is to
save all forage from the corn field by
cutting the tops of the stalks off
just above the ears. Of course this
should be done before the fodder be-
comes quite dry.
Dat straw is pretty good substi-
tute and makes very good roughage
when fed with plenty of grain.
A feeder may have his bin full of
grain, but unless he has sufficient
roughage to balance up the ration
he will be shy on his profit at the
end of the season.
The feed cutter should be in use
on every farm, the corn shredder is
an excellent thing, but why not put
all of the corn crop in silo as the
best probable position to get every
pound of value of it.

RAISE HOGS FOR YOUR MEAT.
Edwin w. Houston, Secretary Treas
urer Texas Swine Breeders.

Of all the poor economy and
Wasteful methods that are practiced
on Texas farms, buying cured pork
is about the poorest and most waste
full. Every renter and every farm
owner, no matter how poor or how
hich, cannot afford to buy cured
pork
Every farm has enough table
Stops, skinned milk, smutty grain
or other by-products to feed or near
ly feed enough hogs for ones own
meat supply. If you will take an
acre or two acres of your poorest
land and plant it in some of the good
grazing crops and then put a piece
of mesh wire around it and turn the
hogs in, you will raise thrifty, econo-
mical hogs and the land you use for
this purpose will be SO we'll ferti-
lized in year that it will be worth
twice as much for producing your
standard farm crops.
Give your hogs an acre of your
tillable land and prepare it for them
and yau will find, if you will keep
books, that it pays you more net
profits than any other acre on the
farm. Of course if you put your
hogs in a little 6x6 pen and feed
them nothing but corn and have no
shelter for them either from sun or
rain and keep them thin in the sum-
mer SO they won't get hot, instead
OF giving them water under a nice
shade tree, you may be disappointed.
If you abuse the hog this way he is
not going to bring you in any reve-
nue.. But if you will give your hogs
fighting chance they will take it
and make good.
When you buy meat from the
packer you pay them anywhere from
6 to Is cents a pound more than
than they will pay you for your hogs
dressed. Do you think it is worth
this to you to have them handle it?
Even if you think you can't make
money selling hogs to them you can
certainly make royal profit selling
it to yourself at their prices. Think

walks about the house.
5. Look after fences; clean up
stumps; dig bitches; fill gullies;
drain wet lands.
6, Set out fruit trees, shade trees,
shrubs and perennial vines.
Z. Haul out the manure as made
and spread it on the fields; be sure
to give the garden good coat.
8. Pillow clay lands and those
wanted for very early crops, taking
special care to guard against winter
washing; SOW rye on plowed lands,
if practicable.
9. Kill the hogs as soon as their
condition and the weather permit;
keep close watch on all stock and
about the poultry houses.
10. Make the winter evenings
pleasant. Provide plenty of fuel,
good lights, good books and papers
and some games and music.-Prof.
Massey in Progressive Farming.

Tor bagglng. At present jute is used
generally, being a little cheaper than
cotton, but the millions paid by
American consumers for jute go
abroad, while the same or little

Jute is raised mostly in India.
Cotton could be used to advantage

Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1912-04-21

The Theodore Thomas orchestra, which
comes TO Omaha April p and g for a
series of concerts in conjunction with the
Mendelssohn choir. recently made an ex-
tensive tour through the east. and in
gether with the famous Mendelssohn choir
Of that city. winning the greatest success.
The opinions OF the Toronto critics win
prove OF interest although the work OF
the orchestra is too well known and the
magnificent playing here last spring still
so fresh in the minds Of music-lovers that
additional comment is unnecessary. Mr..
Stock gave several numbers on his pro-
grams which he will play in Omaha,
by Dworak. and the Humperdinck Suite,
Die Konigskinder." The critic OF the
Toronto Mail and Empire said;
when the Theodore Thomas orchestra
was heard here last year many were in
clined TO feel that 1t might be described
as the peer OF any musical organization
In America, and Its performance last
night strengthened that impression. Mr..
Stock has a splendid collection OF musi-
clans under his baton. and the feeling in
every number interpreted is genuine and
impressive. The orchestra opened with
the dramatic overture. 'Iusitska." by
Dworak. II possesses something Of the
wildness Of Hungarian music and was
rendered in a manner that stirred the
pulses with a gradual crescendo OF emotion
which no audience can resist. The final
number was Die Konigskinder' Suite.
by Humperdinck. One hearing Of II shows

a complete conquest OF the musical world
in recent years. It has a simplicity that
gives 1t q direct appeal: it abounds in
melodic phrases, but through 1t all runs
a fine imaginative turn that brings home
the spirit Of the tale II illustrates. The
orchestra brought out the fancies In an
exquisite manner. showing another side
to their interpretative insight
Miss Florence Hinkle, the brilliant So
prano who will be heard at the concerts,
is a shining example of an American
who received her entire training in
America, and who has won her high
place in the musical world only by the
hardest work and untiring zeal. Her
entire musical experience has been
gained In this country. Then II is doubt
full II any OF the opera singers could
grace the oratorio and recital stage as
does Miss Hinkle. Her voice il one OF
beautiful quality and she has a charming
stage presence and every place she has
appeared has aroused the greatest en-
thuslasm. Miss Hinkle has had re-
markable season. having sung with all
the greatest orchestra and choral organi-
zatoins Of this country and has probably
filled more recital and concert engage
ments than any other singer. one OF
her most notable engagements was at the
Worcester festival. where she scored a
triumph. All OF the members Of the
