One of the dark horses being groomed for the republican nomination for governor is Hon. J. A. Mount.of Montgomery county. Mr. Mount has many friends in Put ntitn especially among the farmers, as lie has often spoken at insti tutes over the state.

It may be that the new congress itas had a stiffening effect on President Cleveland’s backbone, hut he tiiat as it may, the Banner Times is in accord with the president’s latest move. We cannot overlook Mr. Cleveland’s blunders on tariff, however, which have caused such a shortage in the governments finances. If he could now turn in

PUTNAM COUNTY FARMERSl Grrat I unlit lift* Held at Ituinhridge. i lie SeKHloiiM in Detail. Bainbhidue, Ind., Dec. 13, '!15. Putnam County Farmers’ Insti- . lute met in the Christian church ami wti.s opened with song and prayer at 10 o’clock. After devo tional exercises the president addressed the institute briefly upon the work before ns. J. W. Robe tuen addressed the institute followed by Lee Collins upon the topic “Value, of Fanners’ Insti tutes.” Both addresses were thoughtful and presented many points worthy of consideration by thoughtful people. A miseellane ous discussion of this topic fol lowed in which Prof. Latta, Jas. Bridges, W. D. Colliver, John Mangun, H. M. Handel, Prof. Stevens and O. F. Lane participated, from all of whom valuable suggestions and happy thoughts were dropped. Jas. T. Denny discussed the “Laws that Relate to Farmers; Who shall MakeThem.” Mr. Denny entered minutely into a rehearsal ot the laws relating to land titles, fences and landlord and tenant, read extensively from the statutes, imparting much needed and valua hie information to farmers present. Much interest was manifested in the discussion of this topic. Adjourned for dinner. 1:15 Institute called to order. Quartet of Joe Allen, f.'ooper brothers and Chas. Johnson rendered cltoice selection with most excellent execution, after which Prot. Stevens read a paper “Tie Silo and Silage for the Average Farm er." This paper was replete witli food for the contemplation of the farmer. It contained full instructions for the building and filling the silo, with information upon the preparation and value of eneilage. Miss Jennie A. Moore then served the Institute to a very interesting paper upon farm dairying. This paper contained many valuable thoughts and suggestions ano showed conclusively that dairying is a profitable pursuit when fol lowed carefully and intelligently. J. B. Burris talked about the “Corn Crop; its Value.” This was also a very interesting and instructive paper, fully in keeping with its predecessors. Its only and serious defect was its brevity. This topic was also discussed by W. M. Hillis, who offered many sensible and practical suggestions. Mr. Cornelius Riggins talked upon the same topic asking “what are we to do witli our corn crop to make its cultivation profitable.” This is an important quistion and should be well studied by our farmers. Prof. Latta being last on the program of the afternoon, close! the session by an able and scientificdiscussaion of “The Rotation ot Crops.” Th e president then ap pointed J. W. Robe, A. O. Lockridge, Jas. Bridges, H. M. Randel, M. A. Bridges, J. T. Clodfelter and W\ M. Davis a committee on selection of officers for ensuing year and place of holding next Institute. Song by quartet. Adjourned to 7:00 p. m. At 7:00 p. in. Institute opened by song and prayer. Prof. Latta led off in a talk upon “What Purdue is Doing for the Farmer,” giving the Institute the ^benefit of the experiments made by the experiment station, showing what methods to pursue and what to

avoid.

Prof. Ogg interested the Institute upon the “Problem of Education in the Country.” This talk die closed many of the wastes and dis advantages suffered by our country schools and also pointed out needed reforms. This talk was full of inspiring thoughts and suggestions. Then Prof. Stevens served the Institute to “His Early Recollec tions of Farm Life” in a graphic desciiption in rhyme, of the scenes and toils, the hardships and pleas ures of pioneer life as we saw it fifty years ago This poem is a real gem aud should find a place in literature alongside of W’hitcomb Riley and Will Carlton’s produc-

tions.

Dec. 14, ISilo. 9:20. Institute opened with devotional exercises. Prof. Stevens opened the work of the day by pre

Renting in a very pointed uud lucid way the “Whole Subject of Fertil-1 izers.’" He recommends a careful and judicious selection and use of commercial fertilizers, selecting! only such as contain the elements j needed to supply food for the pres ! ent growing crop. He recommends their use only upon such lands as are deficient in certain elements of plant food, not to supply future but immediate wants. “The Soil; How Impoverished, How Replenished”—The importance to farmers of this topic, as elucidated by Prof.Latta, no farmer can afford to overlook or neglect. This talk overflowed with practical suggestions, and exceedingly itu porlant points for the contemplative farmer. How is the fertility of our fields to he maintained? How are we to reap profitable yields? John T. Jones talked of “Leaks on the Farm.” He presented his thoughts well and forcibly, pointing out many leaks and wastes, and suggesting many cures for these leakages. He says many fanners suffer serious losses in breeding infenour stock, in wasteful methods ot feeding, in neglect ing the case of implements and machinery, in failure in due season, to repair fences and buildings, etc. At 1:30 Institute resumed by music by Randall String band. “How Can We Feed for Profit?” was diesussed spiritedly from every stand point by H. M. Randall, A. 0. Lockridge, Jas. Bridges, Milt Bridges, Geo. W. Hanna and Prof.* Steyens. The talk rather showed how they fed for a loss than how to feed for a profit. These talks, though, were profusely interspersed with many practical suggestions. At the close of this discussion Mise Alice blatchly read a most excellent and carefully preoared paper upon “Drudgery; Its Cause and Remedy.” Miss Blatchly manifested marked ability (or literary pursuits in a most elegant and scholarly production. The thought was excellent, the diction elegant, the paper upon the whole a gem. The next and last paper of the institute, “The Dynamics of the Farmers Opportunity," was rendered by our most scholarly friend and neighbor, A. O. Lockridge. Its delivery held the audience in rapt attention. Everyone expectod a treat, and no one was disappointed for the paper portrayed in most vivid, description vicissitudes and environments of a farmers life.) All the papers and talks were thoughtful, practical and well worth the patient and careful attention elicited by them. The attendance reached 3ti7. This audi enee gave patient ami earnest at tention to all that was said and we hope drank in many- valuable and useful thoughts. We believe the time and money well spent and that the community will be greatly benefited by these insiiuies. The next annual institute will be held at Greencastle. A. O. Lockridge was ‘selected for president and Jas. T. Denny for secretary for the^ensuing year. Vice presidents were selected as
