FARMERS' INSTITUTES.
Mr. Mount States Somo Pertinent Tacts Rae ardms Them, Last week I wrote an article in defense of our State Board ot Agriculture, which is again assailed in the legislature. You gave the article the title of "Pointed words in defense ot Farm. Institutes." Since the law providing for the holding of Farm Institutes is also attached I will now have something to say bearing on the above subject. The statute provides for the holding of Farm Institutes, and places the work under the supervision of the faculty of Purdue University. Five thousand dollars is stipulated as the amount to puv for the holding of 92 institutes including the salary of superintendent, office expenses, iu brief, all the expenses in arranging, managing and holding these meeting. 'Wiscoman appropriated $12,HOO for holding loss than 80 institute?. Having a sum nearly three times as great for the expense of each meeting us 19 allowed in our State Wisconsin has reached a high degree or efficiency in this work. Bulletins are printed containing the addresses. This State is able to seenre the services of the best farmers, stock breeders, dairymen and horticulturalists. The progressive ideas of these successful farmers, by being printed, reach the mass of farmers, thereby accomplishing incalculable good New l'orlc appropriates annually §15,000 for farm instituto work. Ohio one-half of one per cent, per capita. This gives to this State sum three times aB large as is allotted to" our State. I have referred to a few other States for the purpose of showing that the allowance in his State is below any of the States holding these meetings. What is the sequel of ths effort to abolish these farm institutes? It cannot be economy, if 810,000 will be squandered for doorkeepers, clerks, and spittoon cleaners, for whose services the legislature has no need. There is a "moss back" element in every legislature that mistake parsimony for economy, stinginess for frugality. This clasB assail the public schools, colleges, farm institutes, but never record a vote against any measure that proposes reward for party service.
THE NECESSITY FOlt FARM INSTITUTES.
The unthrifty methods of farming practiced in many parts ot our State must be abandoned. In mtnv counties in the southern part of our State I havf heard practical farmers say that fields were being abandoned, as the unthrifty methods pnrsued by the farmers had so exhausted the fertility of the soil, that tillage waB no longer profitable.
I have heard the estimates of abandoned land in single counties this winter placed us high as 12,000 acres. With improved implements, drainage and bjtter cultivation, the yield of crops per aero is diminishing, not only in our State, but in nil the Slates. Unless bet ter methods of farming are adopted, the fertility of our soil will bo so exhausted that our glory as an agricultural nation will be lost, and the source of our wealth und prosperity will be crippled. This may seem a little pessimistic, but our older States with their abandoned farms lift a warning voice. Weart still bringing into cultivation millions of acres of fresh soil overy year, but this cannot be continued, the limit will soon be reached. The best method of conserving the fertility of the soil is a question, the wise solution of which will measure Ihe prof its in future farming. Farm Institutes tend to exhalt agriculture. They tench that farming is a science demanding scientific rosearch and investigation,that it is ac art requiring skill, a profession oalling into activity the powers ot the mind. In these meetings the mechanical conditions of the soil are discussed, the importance of drainage, the manyways in which the soil is benefited therefrom, and the increased yield of crops secured thereby. Live stock husbandry, the true source of profit to the farmer, is made prominent. Horticulture, so little understood and so sadly neglected by our farmers i8 considered, and tL best methods ot combatting insect pests brought out. The farmer's home, so long deprived of proper social and intel lectuul advantages is receiving merited attention. The Farmers'Heading Circle is the outgrowth of the discussion of the social and intellectual environments of rural homes.
The importance of studying the con dition of growing crops, the supply and demand in grain and live stock is manifest. These are factors that determine prices, they are economic questions belonging to trade. The farmer who fails
to study those questions cannot hope to be eminent in his calling. Abundant harvests scatter blessings broadcast over the land. All the citizens of our great government rejoice when the farms yield bountiful crops. All are alike interested iu promoting his success. Farm Institutes will not only facilitate the farmers success, but will contribute to the prosperity of all our people.

THREE VERY LUCKY CHILDREN.
Dtow the Little Imperial Princes of G,-r mmnr Pass Their Time. Of the dally life of the three eldest Imperial princes the Berlin correspondent of the London News writes: "The princes, as is very generally known, are very simply and strictly brought up. Every day, summer and wintor, they get np at 7 o'clock iu the morning and have breakfast at 7:45 o'clock, consisting of tea and rolls. The meal never lasts longer than a quarter of an hour, Punctually at 8 o'clock their lessons begin. The crown prince, as well as Princes Fritz and Adelbnrt, are each taught separately, but for some hours the crown prince and Prince Fritz are taught together. The crown prince, who is most zealous, and takes all his lessons in earnest, is much further advanced than his two brothers. The play hours during the morning are filled up with gymnastics, games of ball, digging, etc.. in the playground, near the right wing of the now palace. At 9:45 they talce luncheon sandwiches, claret and natural mineral water, which beverage is much drank at the imperial table. After lunch they again have lessons for a shor time, and then take their riding lessons, either in the riding sohool bad weather or in fine, weather out doors. The crown prince, who is an excellent rider, with a firm seat, has lately begun to ride. His white horse Abdul, which lie received on his birthday from the emperor, is a handsome large Arabian, with a long tail and thick mane, of faultless build, proud bearing, and a most graceful step. After their riding lesson they sometimes take a ride in the neighborhood of the new palace, accompanied by the crown prince's military governor, Maj. von Falkenhayn. Princes Fritz and Adelbert accompany the crown prince on their ponies, and it is a pretty sight to see tho younger ones trying to keep up with their elder brother. They very often take a drive in their pony carriage, the crown prince driving This little basket carriage is drawn by a white pony, hung all over with silver bells, and its name is Seehund."

A WATCH THAT TALKS.
It Is So Made That It Speaks tho llouri iosteurl of Striking Theui. ft is said a watchmaker of Geneva, Switzerland, has justcompleted a watch which, instead of striking the hours and quai-ters," announces them by speaking like the phonograph. The mechanism of the watoh is based on phonographic conditions, the bottom of the case containing a phonographic sensitive plate which has received the impression of tho human voice before being inserted in the watch.
The disk, according to the Jewelers Circular, has forty-eight concentric grooves, of which twelve repeat the hours, twelve those of the hours and quarters, and twelve more those of the hours and second and third quarters. If the hand on the dial shows the time to be 12:15 o'clock, one of the fine needle points of the mechanism crosses the corresponding groove and the disk, which turns simultaneously, calls out the time, just as tho phonographic cylinder. The lower lid of the case Is provided with a tiny mouthpiece, and when the watch is held to the ear the sound is all the more plain.
Funny Kind of I.unvli.
A well-known New Yorker of convivial habits has for many years, upon his return home late at nitj-ht,indulged in a rice-pudding lunch, which was always left on the kitchen dresser by his good wife. The other night he arrived home somewhat the worse for his day's debauch. In the dim light left burning low he spied his favorite dish and ate the contents. The next morning his wife missed seven lace collars she had left in the starch over night.
