DAIRY INSTITUTE

Successful Outcome of the Dairy Institute Pleases its Promoters. A fair attendance of the most progressive farmers of Marshall county, some accompanied by their wives, and a number of dairy men from other counties were attracted to the court room Tuesday morning by the first dairy institute held in Indiana. , The first session was in its scope preliminary to the rest and was arranged to present the . general subject of the meeting, that of the value of the dairy interests and Indiana's place as a dairy state, the subsequent sessions being devoted more to details. Eli Freese, of West township, presided in a felicitous manner. Rev. McKinsey, of the M. E. church, pronounced the invocation and acceptable music was furnished by home talent. Mayor Jones extended a' cordial welcome to the guests of the city and spoke happily of the prospects for a growth of. interest in the subject of dairying in this vicinity under the leadership of such energetic and capable men as the Schlossers and others who have taken it up. Among the speakers who were present and participated in the program and discussions were W. C. Latta, the state superintendent of farmers' institutes, II. B. Gerler, of DeKalb, 111., an author of high repute, rrof. C. S. Plumb, of the Indiana agricultural experiment station, Prof. C. D. Smith, who holds a similar position in Michigan, Prof. II. E. Van Norman, of Purdue university, Cal Husselman, of Auburn,'J. J. W. Billingsley, of Marion county, S. B. Woods, of Lottayille, John R. Connor, of the Indiana Farmer, and others. Trof. Latta responded to Mayor Jones and stated his purpose and hopes in holding such institutes, giving an eloquent and interesting outline of the general topic of , dairying, followed by H. B. Gurler on the subject of the dairy as promotive of ag ricultural prosperity, and Prof. Plumb on Indiana's present and potential place as a dairy state. One of those chronic grumblers that the newspapers make jokes about was complaining to a man in town and the following dialogue ensued. "Haven't you got a big wheat crop?" "Yes," said the farmer. "Isn't your prospect for corn flattering?" "Couldn't be better." "How did your hay turn out?" "About two tons to the acre." "Cattle and hogs doing well?" "Yes." "Fruit and poultry and everything are pretty good, ain't they?" "Yes." "In fact, your crops this year are record breakers?" The farmer reluctantly admitted that they were. "Well, t.en, what arc you complaining about?" "Well," said he meditatively, "these here big crops exhaust the soil so The city fellow thought that was funny and told the story many times with great gusto. But the farmer was right, though he may not have realized it himself, and the dairy institute has as one of its chief objects to impress upon the minds of Indiana farmers the fact that the loss of soil fertility through continuous grain farming is slowly but surely sapping the foundations of their wealth. The remedy is increased dairying. Tuesday afternoon the papers read were very practical and equally interesting. Prof. Smith talked .ibout tne selection ct dairy slock ana con tinued the subject in the evening in an address on the relation of form and function in the dairy cow, il lustrating his points by stereopticon views. Cal Husselman, a successful dairy farmer near Auburn, has a quaint and direct style all his own and talked instructively on the care of cows, following on Wednesday with talks on tne cow Darn and farm ra tions. The address of Prof. Van Norman, given Tuesday afternoon, on the causes of variation in the quantity of butter fat in milk was replete with hints of the greatest value to owners of cows ; The evening session, enlivened as it was bf the screen views, was exceedingly entertaining and a large audience was in attendance. Mrs. J. C. Erwin, of Bourbon,read in her inimitable style, a most instructive paper on why farmers' wives like . the creamery. The paper was full of practical suggestions mingled with sparkling humor and original thoughtJ. Senator Parks followed with a valuable talk on the mutual interests of business men and farmers, in which he made "an earnest plea for fellowship, confidence and conscience on both sides'in the business dealings between the two classes. His eloquent address was received with close attention and must be productive of good results. The evening was closed with a short reception for informal social intercourse. The Wednesday morning session lwas given to the consideration of dairy

buildings, including the care and delivery of milk and the construction of the silo, and the afternoon tppic was feeding for milk. The speakers were Cal Husselman, J. J. W. Billingsley, S. B. Woods, Prof . Plumb and A. S. Shalliol, the last from Bremen. Many others participated in the discussions. Rev. Upson delivered the morning prayer and excellent music was furnished at each session. The promoters of the institute are highly gratified over the result and anticipate the much good will flow from it. Progressive agriculture, means prosperous agriculture, and meetings of this character, with their interchanges of opinion and experience, cannot fail to be beneficial to all who attend.

One of the most offensive nuisances in the city of Plymouth is the back yard of the junior councilman from the third ward. For years it has been a subject of complaint from people living in the vicinity or whose errands require them to pass it and it seems to grow worse rather than better. Cows, horses, chickens and occasionaly hogs are kept in a restricted space and no attempt whatever is made to keen the premises clean or presentable or to comply with the A. AW most obvious sanitary requirements. The place is not only dangerous to health, but it is offensive to sight smd smell and is fully as distrusting and obnoxious as the barnyard of the most bchind-the-times farmer in the county. The citv board or health, In response to complaints, went over to the place Monday afternoon, but in deference to the official status of the gentleman and in consideration of his promise to clean up, they are in dined to minimize the offense.
